Terranora, on Friday, Mr J Elliot wanted to know, in the event of DO lalo, who would have to keep the crew, who had possession of her. Mr N. King, the auctioneer, replied that be supposed the Waitsra shareholders in the boat would have to contribute their quota of the cost. Mr Samuel, who appeared for the officers and orew. Informed those interested who were present that his clients intended to keep possession of the steamer until their claim of £617 was satisfied. Mr H. Weston wanted to know what guvantee^oou'd ba given to a buyer, but Mr King made no promises, and read the Hit of known liabilities, whioh proved to ba quite a formidable array. After this Mr Weston made a bid of £50. Mr King waited for further bids, but none being forthcoming he informed those present the sheriff could not sell at that figure. Mr Weston asked the reserve, to which Mr King replied £200. Mr Weston then signified his Intention to buy the interest at that figure for Mr T. Bayly. The spectators, maDy of whom were Maoris, then dispersed.
