ANOTHER LEVANTER.
Auckland is likely to acquire an unenviable reputation for levanting defaulters unless an example be made. In another place particulars are given of the disappearance of a contractor, and there are rumours that another, a teacher of the French language, is wanting. It has also transpired that Simon Peter Harjes, wine and spiiit merchant, of Fort-street, took passage for Sydney, en route for Adelaide, with the supposed object of proceeding to Europe, by the Cuszco. Mr Fischer, representative of Harjes' principal creditors, Messrs H. Haige and Co., of Sydney, is now in communication with the police ; and an urgent cable messsage has been aent to Adelaide for Harjes' arrest. His defalcations amount to upwards of £1000, but he i 3 said to have taken away fully £2000 in bank motes. The Cuszco was to leave Adelaide on so that there is a chance of Hajes being detained.
