THE PLUSH MILL.
The Globe Yarn Mill and Others Allowed
to withdraw from the Petition.

Judge Peabody, of the Court of Insol-
vency, yesterday morning announced his
decision in the plush mill case. Hon.
C.F Libby was present representing ex-
Gov. Robbie, and WI. Knowlton,. repre-
senting Walter Ackroyd, and other credi-
tors who petitioned that the company
might be declared insolvent
Judge Peabody found that while the
company is insolvent. it is not for the
interest of the creditors that the property
should be sold and divided at this time.
The court allowed theGlobe yarn mills,
of Fall River, Mass, j &. J. Barbour, ssand
John T. Randall, doing business under
the firm name of Randall & Nc
Allister, of Portland to withdraw from
the petition asking that the company be
declared insolvent. The court decided
that they were led to sign the original
petition by mistake of facts"
The court refused to allow Walter Ack-
royd to come in the original petition as
a petitioning creditor, and allowed Hardt
Won Dereuth & Co. to come in as petit
tioning creditor. This left the amount of
debts.held by petitioners in insolvency
too small 10 come within the require
,nents of the law, and the proceedings
under the original petition ended.
This action of the court leaves Gov
ROBBIE as assignee by selection of the
creditors, in charge of the property. The
Judgment of the assignee and of the
court accords in believing.that it is not
forathe best interests of the creditors
that the property should be sold at this
time. The proceedings ended yesterday,
began weeks ago, and the case has at
tracted more general public sattention
than any other before the Court of Insol-
yency for some years past

OLD TIME SMUGGLING.


Instead of run by night in an open
boat from the French coast to the shores
Of Hampshire, Sussex, Essex or Kent, we
have to content ourselves in these prosaic
times with petty attempts to cheat the
revenue, for which women are more fire.
quently responsible than men. Such an
incident once happened at Belfast, where
an Irishwoman named Mary Mcmahon
was brought to the police court charged
with keeping whisky on premises which
were unlicensed. Sergeant Jones de-
posed that he went into the defendants
house and found woman named Gray
ton, who was seated before the fire.
Upon searching her the sergeant came
upon SO bottles Of porter and two bottles
OF whisky slowed away in her petit
coats. To the inexpressible amusement
OF the spectators the sergeant produced
the peccant garments in court. Each
petticoat was made of coarse sacking
and was girt with innumerable pockets,
and all of them lined with soft material
SO as to keep the bottles from blinking
and possibly breaking each other.
Unhappily for poor Mary Mcmahon,
the petticoats, whisky and porter were
confiscated by the relentless police mag.
istrate, and the chief delinquent was
sent to Jail for three months. l enter,
tain no doubt that the hearty sympathies
of nine-tenths of those present in court
went with Mary McNIahon TO limbo.
