The dreary state of the room of the Supreme Court Buildings set apart for the holding of creditor's meetings, was somewhat severely remarked at a meeting held this afternoon. Mr Brassey compared theu ncomfortable apartment to a duneeon cell, and Mr Lawson, Official Assignee, remarked tbat he received a chill every time he entered it, and his health had suffered in consequence from rheumatism and deafness.' He further expressed the opinion that a room should have been obtained nearer townj and suggested that the solicitors 'present should make representations to that effect.

The sale of cheese from the Bukpkohp Cheese factory to-day proves that a very remunerative market exists in the city for Buch produce. Mr Arthur's mart was crowded by intending purchasers, and the whole of the cheeses brought down were disposed of at 7d per lb. It is believed that treble the quantity could have been sold at the same price had it been on hand. This result must be hiehly satisfactory to the shareholders of tho Company, as it is gratifying to the directors and to Mr Wai. Sole,; the energetic manager. It is the intention 0* the-directors to send dewri a further supply of the new cheeses on hand, so thai ne£t Friday another large consignment will be offered for sale.
