The order was asked for in connection with an order of the Resident Magistrate's Court that Hori should pay the amount of the bill. Captain PREECE said he would not make the order. He was satisfied with the bona fides OF Mr Towers, but he objected to the transaction between Hori and the person to whom he became indebted, and who transferred the indebtedness to Mr Towers.
