TBdR ASHBURTON GUARDIAN WEDNESDAY,



The' Otago Hunt Club have kindly offeitedlo' send their hounds to \sbbur toii for a. week early next month, and Mr S. Eapnders is now completing arrange ments for their reception. At the Nelson Supreme Court ' the heacingi of the murder case was resumed yesterday. Mrs Gramatica was examined at length. ■ She stated that her evidence at -Aba inquest on the body of Denis Quinlan'was incorrect. She alleges she feared. to tell the whole facts, but claims to have made a clean breast now. She says ' that the prisoner Davidson stabbed Qninlan an the breast, that she bandaged it anid.went to bed in a state of intoxica- sleeping through the whole night after the occurrence. .Next morning she savin heap in the sitting-room covered withi blankets, from which boots pro jected. .On her asking the prisoner for Quinlan, he said he hai taken his heart’s blood, and that she was forced to remain in her bedroom all next day, and at night aheheard Davidson drag Quinlan’s body out of the house. The ‘ inquiry into the Dunedin goods thed .fire was continued yesterday. Noting has yet been elicited to suggest ther-canse for the outbreak. The engine wb&h shunted the trucks into the shed on tho day of the fire only went just in side the north door, so that the fire could scarcely have been caused by it, as the flamek'broke out at the south end. The engine driver thought it unlikely that emitted from the, funnel, as ciily emitted when. the. engine was'buderext™ pressure. No direct evi denc&was obtained about smoking, which was fbfbidden. The inqui'y was resqmed to-day. Before the Dunedin Resident Magis tracy esterdaythecaee of Maitland v. Smith, in which .he Land Board seek to recover a penalty from the defendant for disobeying a summons to attend the “ dunlmylsm ” enquiry, was entered upon. The. language of the Act is that the BoAtd.rnay hold an enquiry in case of a “dispute” about the sale of land, and for the Land Board it is to be proved that though Thomas Johnston (in regard to whose purchase the enquiry was being made) duly signed the conditions and completed the purchase at the time of sate, Alfred Kimbell afterwards “ dis puted” Johnston's right on the ground that he was not a bona fide purchaser. After hearing some evidence, the case was adjourned till to-morrow. READ IT, ALL.

By HAXTON & BEATTIE, Patentees and Sole Makers of the Celebrated SPRING TOOTH FLEXIBLE HARROWS. They combine Lightness of Draught, Practicability, and Cheapness, and meet the approval of all who have examined them. Over 500 at work in New Zealand since 1880. This Patent Harrow has been awarded First Prize at the recent Exhibition held in Christchurcti New Zealand, May, 1882, and the following prizes were also gained after competitions, trials, and testings: Ist Prize Medal at Taieri Agricultural Show, 1880 Ist Prize at the Mataura Show, Gore,



1880 Ist Prize at the Invercargill Show, 1880 Ist Awari of Merit, Ashburton Exhibi tion, March, 1881 Ist Prize Medal, Napier Show, 1881 Ist Prize Medal, Invercargill Exhibition, November, 1881 Ist Prize, Launceston, Tasmania, 1882 Ist Prize for Light and Heavy, Dunedin, 1872 Ist Prize, Gore, 1882 Ist Prize Medal, Taieri Show, November, 1881 Ist Prize, Patea Show, December, 1881 Ist Prize, Riverton Show, December, 1881 Ist Prize, Oamaru Show, December, 1881 Ist Award of Merit, Dunedin Exhibition, 1881 Ist Prize, Dunedin Show, December, 1881 Ist Prize, Christchurch Exhibition, May, 1882 Ist Prize, Invercargill, December, 1882 Ist Prize Sonthbridge, 1882 FIRST PRIZE, ASHBURTON, 1882. The Principal Advantages op this Harrow are as Follows: It is 25 per cent. Cheaper than any other. Because of its simplicity, it is more durable. The flexible and spring-tooth working of the Harrows produce a steady strain, which prevents horses from having sore shoulders. A twelve-foot Harrow can bo taken to pieces and put together again by any boy in five minutes’ time. Every tooth being a component part of the Harrow, the extra labor and expense of tools, bolts, nuts, threads, shoulder pieces, framework, etc., is entirely done away with. Each tooth acts independently of the others, and will do its work thoroughly over level, rough, knolly, or unevenly ploughed ground. It is the only Harrow in the world that can be taken to pieces in ten minutes, and securely packed in a bag ready for ship ment, or that can be taken to a black smith’s and sharpened, at half the cost of any other. It is the only Harrow in the world that will do its work thorough and well in harrowing crosswise over new ploughed ground, without tu olng over the turf. Because of the flexible and spring tooth movement of the Harrow it is im possible for any of its teeth catching against roots or rocks, thereby it much easier for the team that is drawing it.



It is a perfect rhain or Seed Harrow, when turned on its back, acting an inch or inch and a-half in the soil, leaving a smooth surface. 1132 BRITISH AND MERCAN TILE INSURANCE COMPANY.
