The loss entailed by the sale of the mares and stallions at the dispersal sale was £7450. The losses arising from T. Morrin’s irregularities wore £1948, wiring off and prelimm :ry expenses 0613, working loss on the year .£707. It was anticipated that owing to the discovery of a receipt fixing the liability on the International Horae Agency, London, for an insurance of £2OOO on the horse Phoebus Apollo, the am amt for distribution on liquidation would bo about £BSOO, less legal expenses. A dividend of about 7s in £1 was there fore probable. It was res dved to go into liquidation, William Alfred Nobes, alias Alfred King, was brought before Mr Kettle, S.M., at the Auckland Police Court charged with frauds upon tradesmen and business men, involving in all about £32 ir connection with fourteen informations.

He went to various tradesmen and obtained goods. He likewise obtained several, sums of money. The prisoner pleaded guilty to a'l the charges, stating in extenuation that ho had lost a lot of money in the boottrade and being pressed for money resorted to this recourse. The magistrate sentenced accused to a month’s imprisonment on each charge, sentences to be cumulative, thus bringing the total up to fourteen months.

Thus the Christchurch Truth ; “ Although he wa- beaten bv a com bin itio-i of mlere ts too strong for h m in the last election, Mr Taylor is s.ili a force to be reckoned with. His inability to control his speech when he is hi his feet, or to retrain from scorching his antagonist—and sometimes those who are not his antagonists—with liitter invective, make him enemies particularly as' the matter of his re marks, as well as the manner of them is generally danmgingly to the paint. On the other hand, the soundness o! many of his progressive vi -ws, his frequent generous impulses, ihe charm of his personal manner, and the glamour of his oratory have won him friends in all parts of the colony, who are ready to overlook his errors m the past, and prepared to trust him to o mdtict himself more soberly in the future. These friends propose to present Mr Taylor with something in the nature of a national tostimonid. The movement is spontaneous and enthusiastic, ana is participated in bv oeople who actually voted against Mr Taylor on election day. ... It is

■ r ibable that three years hence, if hi deciles to agun contest a seat, Mr T ivlor will be a rn me judicial and bro ider-minded candi late, and tha ■■owill sncce d, "Ot by the vi dmes o his language, but by the statesmanship of his ide >s.
