re Benjamin Winn.
A meeting of creditors in the bankrupt estate of Benjamin Winn, photographer, Sydenham, was held at the Official Assignee's office this morning. Mr Bruges appeared for the debtor, and the petitioning creditor, Mr Thomas Richie, was represented by Mr Fisher. Mr Ritchie was the only unsecured creditor, the liability being £210. Besides this there was a debt of £100 to Mary Johnson, secured on certain property in Sydenham, the debtor's interest in which was put down as nil. Other assets consisted in £35 worth of furniture in excess of £25 allowed by the act. The debtor, in his sworn statement, said that he was a travelling photographer, and that his apparatus was destroyed by fire three years ago, since when he had been obliged to borrow apparatus from his son. He had made over the property in Sydenham to his wife for her lifetime, after which it reverted to him if he should outlive her.re Benjamin Winn.
About five years ago he joined and put considerable sums into a syndicate to take up and work a coal lease at Wairere, Glentunnel. This venture, the Wairere Coal Company, had turned out a failure, although up to the time it went into liquidation he had been led to believe that it was prospering. Mr Ritchie was one of the guarantors to the Bank of New Zealand for an overdraft of £500, and, being the only substantial man, had to pay it all. Mr Ritchie sued the debtor for his share, and then made him a bankrupt on it. The bankrupt was examined, by Mr Fisher at considerable length as to his connection with the Coal Company, and the moneys he had spent on it. According to his evidence, all he had and could raise for the last three years, had been put into the concern. The matter was finally left in the hands of the Assignee to make inquiries, and the meeting adjourned sine die.

Daniel Kearney
An inquest was held at the Mitre Hotel, Lyttelton, yesterday, before Mr R. Beetham, coroner, and a jury, of whom Mr J. T. Gifford was chosen foreman, to inquire into the facts surrounding the death of Daniel Kearney, who died on board the steamer Wakatu on the passage from Port Robinson to Lyttelton on Wednesday.
The evidence was to the effect that the deceased, who had been engaged upon the road works at Cheviot, was taken ill on Tuesday, and had to cease work. He was given a dose of "pain-killer" by one of his mates, but getting no better, was put on board the steamer to be brought to the hospital for treatment.
During Wednesday afternoon he died. Dr T. O. Guthrie deposed to conducting a postmortem examination and found that death had resulted from stoppage of the bowels. The jury returned a verdict accordingly, and added a rider expressing the opinion that the Government should provide a medicine chest under the charge of some competent person at the works.
