THE ASHBURTON GUARDIAN, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1882.



A Sewing Machine Agent in Co cut. — The St. Bathan’s correspondent of the Dunstan Times reports a singular case heard before Major Keddell, K. M. The local constable laid an information against Mr Xiockhead,- agent for the Wertheim Sewing. Machine Company, for hawking in "Vincent County without a license. Mr Bowlatt, who defended, contended that a* his client was a servant of the firm whose machines he was selling, and as the articles he was selling came direct from his .employer's manufactory into his hands, there was no case to answer ; as anyone either by himself, a servant, or an agent, could sell and dispose of his own manu factures anywhere and everywhere with out let or hindrance. Mr Lockhead, on going into the witness box, said he was the paid servant of Wertheira ; he had informed the police that no license wns required ; and, though sewing machines had been sold in the same manner for fully twelve years in the various colonies, no proceeding similar to this had ever been taken against the vendors. Major Keddell said that he could not see why the police did not make some inquiry before summoning anyone fiom Dunedin, putting them to so much expense. How ever, it seemed to him to be a clear enough case that no breach of the by-laws had token place. That Wertheim was the manufacturer of these machines he had no doubt, and that he carried on the business of selling them ; and also that it is quite clear that Mr Lochhead was the servant of Mr.Wertheim, and therefore did not re quire a license to sell his wares. The in formation would therefore be dismissed. Holloway’s Ointment and Pilis. — Glad Tidings. Some constitutions have tendency to rheumatism, and are through the - year home down by its protracted torture Let such sufferers bathe the afflicted parts with warm brine, and afterwards rub in this soothing Ointment. They will find it the best means of lessening their agony, and, assisted by Holloway’s Pills, the surest way of overcoming their disease. More need not be said than to request a few days’ trial of the safe arid soothing treatment, by which the disease will ultimately be completely swept away. Pains that would make a giant shudder are assuaged without difficulty by Holloway’s easy and Inexpensive remedies, which comfort by.moderating the throbbing vessels and calm ing the excited nerves.—Advt
