AUCKLAND.
Januory 19. ■• a . At to-day's sitting of the Supreme Court in bankruptcy, Mr Browning, solicitor, -applied, on behalf of W. H. Lingard, for his discharge from bank-
ruptcy. Mr FTesketh, for the provisional trustee, asked for the postponement of the matter, as, from information which had just.'conic to hand, there was reason for believing that fraud, gross conspiracy, and perjury, had been, associated ;'with the proceedings, and a vaßt amount of information as to the assets, etc., kept back. The Judge decided that, at any rate, insufficient notice for the application for discharge had been given the creditors, and, therefore, ordered that fresh notice should be given. Messrs Lingard;Searell, and De Lias, are to be examined before the trustee to-morrow.
A lively scene took place at the meeting of tbe Waitemata County Council today over a record in the minutes to which some objected. An irregular and boisterous discussion lasting an hour ensued. One Councillor said another was ignorant of all business forms and methods, a procedure to which the person addressed made an offeesive retort, referring to his opponents as long-eared donkeys, etc.
