E. J. Cox. — Our police report of yesterday will show that E. J. Cox, the solicitor, who absconded from Auckland, leaving large defalcations behind, has been brought before the Court here, and has been remanded for further evidence. When he heard on Wednesday that a warrant had been taken out against him, he voluntarily surrendered himself to the police. We give a report of a meeting of his creditors in Auckland, at which a letter from him was read, in which he stated that he had only taken away £100 with him. When he was searched on Wednesday afternoon, nothing was found on him ; and we believe that, through the advice of some persons with whom he was acquainted here, he remitted the amount, deducting the cost of his passage from Auckland, to that place, to be appropriated to the liquidation of some portion of his debts. He does not appear to have had any settled mode of escape from here, and was .fo indifferent about being seen. that on Tuesday he paid a visit to his brother'in the gaol. He was admitted to bail by the Resident Magistrate in sums of £I,OQO' by himself,, and £^00 each by two sureties. Mr, G. Didsbury and Mr. Lewis, of the. Defence Office, entered into the necessaty recognizances, and Cox was liberated yesterday afterrioon-.-r-Advertiser t March 22.
