In the matter of the petition of John Cargill, Edward
Bowes Cargill, and George McLean, all of
Dunedin, in the Province of Otago, New Zealand,
merchants, carrying on business together in co-
partnership under the firm or style of "Cargills
and McLean," creditors to the extent of not less
than fifty pounds of John Gray, of Dunedin
aforesaid, timber merchant, a bankrupt; and in
the matter of "The Debtors and Creditors Act,
1862," "The Debtors and Creditors Act Amend-
ment Act, 1865," and "The Debtors and Creditors
Acts Amendment Act, 1866."

BEFORE His Honor Mr. Justice Chapman, Monday,

hundred and sixty-seven. Upon motion this day
made to this Court by Mr. Cook of counsel for the
abovenamed bankrupt, and upon hearing Mr. Harris
of counsel for the abovenamed John Cargill, Edward
Bowes Cargill, and George McLean, and for Walter
Bell, John Bell Thomson, and Alexander Carrick,
the interim sequestrators appointed by the order
made by His Honor Mr. Justice Chapman in this
matter, dated the twenty-second day of May last;
and also upon hearing Mr. George Brodie, the

all proceedings under the same be annulled, pur-
suant to the ninth section of "The Debtors and
Creditors Act Amendment Act, 1865."

By the Court,
(L.S.) ROBERT CHAPMAN,
Registrar.

NOTICE is hereby given that an application has
been made by John Duley, of Hokitika, in the
Westland District, in the Province of Canterbury,
in the Colony of New Zealand, mechanic, Evan
Prosser, of Hokitika aforesaid, chemist, and Thomas
Robert Proctor, also of Hokitika, jeweller, in
accordance with "The Patents Act, 1860," for the
issue to them of letters patent granting to them, for
the term of fourteen years, exclusive right within
the said Colony of New Zealand, to use a Gold
Washing Cradle. The cradle is an improvement on
the common gold washing cradle, which improvement
is as follows:--a ball or balls travelling in a trough
or troughs placed at the head of the cradle, as the
cradle is being rocked, and also instead of having a
fall towards the end of the cradle where the sand or
other earth is discharged, the plane has an incline
from a quarter of an inch to one or two inches in the
foot, as the case may require; fuller particulars of
which can be obtained from the specification and
plans deposited in the Patent Office at Wellington.

And any person or persons who may wish to prefer
any objection to the granting of such letters patent
is and are hereby required to send the same within
four months from the publication hereof, to C.
Knight, Esq., M.D., Wellington, being the person
appointed for that purpose under the provisions of
the said Act, a statement in writing setting forth the
grounds of such objections, and subscribed with his
or their proper name and address.

WILLIAM LEE REES,
Solicitor, Hokitika, Agent.
