IRISH RIOTS.

ALLEGED BLOODTHIRSTY CON-

DUCT.

STATEMENT IN THE HOUSE OF

COMMONS.

(special to association.)

London, September 11th. Large numbers of mounted and un mounted peasants from Limerick and Tipperary attended the demonstration at Mitchelstown, on the occasion of the riots. The police believe that these had formed themselvees into an organisation with the intention of pro voking a disturbance. The peasant cavalry backed into the ranks of the police force, breaking their formation and causing disorder.

It is reported that hundreds of the rioters dipped their handkerchiefs in the blood of the victims. The bands took their departure playing lively airs, while banners were gaily flaunted.

In the House of Commons some dis' cussion took place on the subject of the riot. Mr J. B. Balfour, Chief Secretary for Ireland, stated that Mr Condon's remarks were the signal for a brutal attack upon the police who only fired in self-defence. He also stated that nine constables were seriously injured, and he expressed the opinion that the Irish political leaders "were mainly responsible for this disgrace ful disturbance.

Mr J. O'Connor replied to Mr Bal four's statements, and in the course of his remarks said that he was proud of the " magnificent Tipperary boys."

BANKRUPTCY.

Mary Brown, of Hobson-street, boarding house keeper, has been adjudged a bankrupt upon her own petition.

Angus Augustus Keate Macdonald, bank clerk, was examined on oath to-day by the Official Assignee, and made the following statement of the circumstances leading °up to his bankruptcy : — " I have been employed as a bank clerk in Auckland for 20 years, and for the last five years (up to May, 1885) was in receipt of a salary of £250 per annum. I volun tarily left the service of the Bank, and went to Sydney about the middle of 1885 in search of employment. At this time my present debts had already been incurred. I was out of employment for some time after reaching Sydney. I remained there two years, and for the greater part of that time my average business did not exceed 50s per week. I left there because my employers had to assign their estate, and returned to Auckland in June last, and got my present employment at a salary of 50s per week. My debts amounted to £600 12s, contracted prior to May, 1885, when I was in the service of the Bank. I had then, as now, a wife and two children to support. With the exception of £12 17s my debts consist of loans from friends. 1 never gambled in any form, and can only account for my present position by saying that I lived beyond my means, and did not see the consequence until too late. It never occurred to me that I had drifted into hopeless insolvency. I committed another piece of folly by re signing my position at the bank because a creditor pressed me for a small sum, when, had I consulted my friends, they would have helped me, and I might have retained my post and in time paid oIF my debts. Beyond a little furniture worth about £10 I have uo assets of any kind.

John Alfred Brain, under examination to-day by the Assignee, made the following statement:—During the last three months I have had casual employment as a labourer, previous to that I had been a dealer in green feed for horses. I had a horso and cart to carry on my business, but it was only on hire. I had parted with them in October last for £17, and afterwards hired themforlOsa week. 1 never told one of my creditors six weeks ago that I had sold horse and cart for £25. 11 is not proved that I told a creditor six weeks ago that I had sold the goodwill of my business as a dealer in green feed for £40. I did no such thing. The business did not pay. I made a lot of bad debts and could not clear enough to support my family, and so gave it up. I have a wife and ten children, and until three weeks ago only one was earning money, two more' are now earning as much as will keep them in clothes. My own earnings for the last three months have not been more than 15s a week. My debts amount to £92 3s, incurred during the last 18 months, owing to my income being insufficient to support my family and heavy doctors' bill, I have had to borrow money and obtain credit. I am expecting money from my father shortly, and if 1 get it my creditors shall be paid in full. All I have now con sists of some book debts, which may realise £7.

MERCURY BAY TIMBER COMPANY.- HALF - YEARLY MEETING.

Debit Balance of £3,125,

The half-yearly general meeting took place at 2 o'clock this afternoon, Mr Thos* Peacock, M.Ii.R. (Chairman of Directors* presiding.

The following report and balance-sheet were presented: — * • ffih»tßt>eefce*«"i'egt'efrJ%haft frhe-bosinees for the past half-year has not shown any im provement. The results, having regard to the ordinary expenses for the half-year, including depreciation on plant and build ings, would have left a trilling profit, but owing to the writing off on the log stock, the amount of which has recently been accurately determined, and bad debts, consisting chieily of contractors' advances, the balance shown at debit of profit and loss account for the half-year is £3,125 13s The directors have considered it advisable to write off everything bad or doubtful at one stroke, and believe the shareholders will approve of this action. The plant is in iirst-rate order, we have a large supply of logs on hand by recent .freshes, the stock has been valued at a low figure, and we are in a position to avail ourselves effec tively of any favourable change in the timber trade. It will be seen by the balance sheet that the liabilities of the Company have been reduced since January last by nearly £3,000, that the balance at credit of profit and Loss Account is £13,768 13s lOd, and the balance of assets over liabilities amounts to £51,253 13s lOd, equal to £1 6d per share. Balance-sheet.—On 31st July, 1887. Dr : To capital, 100,000 shares at £1 each, £100,000: 49,980 shares issued at £1 each, paid-up, 15s per share, £37,485; bills payable, £1.212 17s 7d; outstanding pay orders, £30 12s 2d ; sundry creditors, £14,217 4s Id ; profit and loss account, £13,768 13s lOd; total, £66,714 7s Bd. By forest, freehold and leasehold land, mills, booms, trams, &c, less depreciation, £22,156 10s lid; stock—Logs in booms and creeks, sawn and dressed timber in yard, goods in store, &c, £36,987 Is Id: live stock, £315 ; office furniture, £30 : sundry debtors, and contractors' advances, £6,980 Is 2d ; bills receivable and cash on hand, £245 14s 6d: total, £66,714 7s Bd.

Profit and Loss Account, From 31st January, to 31st July, 1887.—T0 depretiial tion on mill, machinery, buildings, forest, booms and livestock, £588 7s 9d; >(i6a?iJ debts, depreciation on log stock, renewal, and repairs, rents, rates, interest, discounts, salaries, insurance and expenses, £3,809 18s 2d ; balance, £13,768 13s lOd ; total, £18,166 19s 9d. By balance on 31st January, 1887, £16,894 6s lOd ; gross profit on timber and stores, £1,193 12s Id ; rents and transfer fees, £79 0s lOd. Total, £18,166 19s 9d. By balance, £13,768 13s lOd.

The Chairman said : Gentlemen, —In moving the adoption of the report and balance-sheet, I may say that while we have reason to regret the continuance of bad times we are not without hope that before long there may be an improvement in the timber trade. As you are aware, the Aus tralian colonies have been our best cus tomers, but our trade with these colonies has been very much affected by the glut of American and Baltic timber which has been poured into these markets. There is reason to believe that the consigners of these cargoes have begun to tire of selling at a loss, and with a falling off in these ship ments we may hope for a better opening for kauri. It is some satisfaction to share holders to know that our stock values are not inflated, and that we have written, down in depreciation at the rate of nearly £1.200 a year. Our stock of timber con tains a larger proportion than usual of first class quality. It may also be worth noting that if we consider our ordinary business debts to be balanced by our good debtors, the stock of sawn timber and logs avail able for cutting represents in value nearly double our outside indebtedness, and that the sawn timber alone would nearly meet the whole amount.

Mr A. H. Nathan seconded the adoption of the report and balance-sheet. And in doing so took a sanguine view of the Com panies position and prospects. Mr Harrow thought it best for the Com pany to wind up. The motion was then put and carried nem. con,

On the motion of Mr Ralph Keesmg, a vote of thanks was accorded the Chairman.

HEAVY: WEATHER.

Detention of the San Frisco Mails

The prevalence of unusually heavy weather with a strong westerly gale has consider, ably interfered with shipping to-day both in this port and along the coast. The Mararoa having been detained at Gisborne until 11 a.m to-day, is not expected to arrive here before 10 or 11 a.m. to-morrow, and the Hawea, with the Southern portion of the put ward Frisco mail had not arrived in the Manukau up to a late hour this afternoon. The Hawea left New Ply mouth at 6 a.m. yesterday, and should have arrived at Onehunga this morning. Probably she could not cross the bar this morning, and she would therefore not bo able to do so until after 1 p.m. If she reached the Onehunga Wharf before 4p.m. the mail steamer will be able to leave for San Francisco at 6p.m., but other wise the Mariposa will be detained. She will not, however, wait for the arrival of the Mararoa.

Effects of a Thunderstorm.

Fielding, this day. A heavy thunderstorm visited this dis trict last night and this morning. When the storm was at its height a horse went mad with terror, broke through an enclosure, and charged into a drapery store, where it did a large amount of damage.

FOOTBALL MATCHES.

Grafton v. Noimi Shore.'—This match was won by Grafton by 9 points to 2. Wyn yard scored a try for North Shore, from a pass from Maude, immediately after the play started, but the kick by Swinnerton was not a success. In tho second spell Muir scored the first try for Grafton, and Lecky kicked a goal. Two other tries were subsequently obtained by Grafton, Lecky getting one of these. Auckland v. Gordon.— This match was concluded in consequence of a wrangle be tween tho opposing teams. Auckland got a try in the earlier part of the game, and Poland for Gordon soon after secured another, the Auckland men allowing him to get through under the belief that he would be brought back for infringement of the rules. Auckland would not allow the try, and the game was consequently stopped. Berksford v. Richmond.—Beresford won by 5 points, and a disputed try to two tries were obtained by Gray for Beresford and Golding for Richmond. Association Matches. Wanderers v. Links ll.—This match resulted in a win for the Wanderers by 3 goals to nil Goals were kicked by Chap pel, Mills and Carr. Whelan'and Mills played well for Wanderers, while Adams and Hunt did the same for Links. Through out, the game was conducted in a quiet gentlemanly manner that reflected credit upon the players. Links v. Saracens. —This was a vory exciting game, fast play being exhibited from first to last. As the two clubs are at present equal for the senior cup, both sides did their best. The ball passed quickly from end to end of the field, and the spec tators became so excited that even the ladies could be heard cheering on their favourites in the rival teams. A goal was secured by each team, ted airlerigth the game resulted in a draw. In consequence of this the rival clubs will again require to play off the match.

The Supreme Court was occupied all day with the hearing of the perjury case. On Saturday evening between 8 and 9 o'clock a most impudent theft was committed in Union-street. One of the residents went out marketing with his wife and left some young children to mind the house. The little ones heard a man walk through the yard towards the fowl house, but were too frightened to go outside. When their father returned they told him of the occurrence and he upon examining his fowl* house found that some person had taken away "two of his laying hens, probably for the Sunday dinner. If that man will only return to night for the re mainder of the fowls he will be warmly welcomed.and might perhaps be detained for supper.
