[A case before the Supreme Court relating to the ship "Flying Cloud"]

Stephen Edward Hughes deposed : l am a solicitor. I was solicitor to the Bank of Auckland, and the owner of shares. I was a director for two months. I knew of transactions about the ' Flying Cloud ' shortly after the attempted absconding of Mr. Johns. I was surprised to find that Mr. Quartier had an overdrawn account. There was no security. I got a security from Mr. Quartier. Williams and Co. were largely interested. The amount of the security was for, I think, £3,500, a joint mortgage of the vessel to Messrs. Kennedy and Williams and Co. It was over the 58 shares held by Mr. Quartier. Alexander Kennedy was the holder of a large number of promissory notes which had been endorsed to him. Mr. Jervis and I prepared the security. The last time I saw Mr. Johns was in the Bank of Auckland. He came with his solicitor, Mr. Wynn, and absolutely refused to give any information. Cross-examined by Mr. Whitaker: Mr. Johns joined in the venture of building the 'Flying Cloud.'

Our Last Year in New Zealand, 1887
By William Garden Cowie, D.D., Bishop of Auckland
London: Kegan, Paul, Trench & Co., 1888.
Appendix K. Address of the Right Reverend the Bishop of Auckland to the Synod of the Diocese, on Wednesday, November 2, 1887.

Mr. Stephen Edward Hughes.--Of those who were members of our last Synod, and took an active part in its work, there was one whose absence cannot but be noticed today, namely, Mr. Stephen Edward Hughes. During many years no office-bearer in the diocese gave more time and thought to matters of importance to the well-being of the Church than did Mr. Hughes, as a Vestryman, a Synodsman, and a member of the Standing Committee. Of the ready assistance that I always received from him personally, and the kind consideration with which he at all times treated me, I shall ever retain a grateful remembrance.
