NELSON.
Yesterday.
A girl 16 years of age, named Annie Scalfer, who came out as an immigrant oh board the Edwin Fox, attempted to commit suicide by jumping off the Government wharf last night, but her screams attracted the attention of Mr Percy, who. succeeded in rescuing her.
At the District Uuurt to day, George Sayers, overseer in the Public Works Department, a bankrupt, applied for his discharge. His total liabilities were put down., at £58, and assets £42, his principal creditors being Mrs Sayers and Mrs George, his wife and daughter, both of Wellington, who had obtained an order for maintenance. Mr Bunny, for Mrs George, opposed the bankrupt's discharge on the ground that he was not insolvent, and he argued that the bankrupt failed merely to avoid maintaining his wife and daughter. The judge refused tb.e ordey absolutely, allowing the opposing creditors' costs.
