The Attorney- General states that each is not the ease, and the sentence means twenty years, which will be reduced by good conduct. [We confess that we shared the same im pression with regard ti this matter. iSo. Guardian ]

ALLEGED PERJURY

EXTRAORDINARY case

(From to-day’s Press.) At the Resident Magistrate’s Omt Christchurch yesterday morning, before Messrs Beetham, R.M., and Parymso, J.P., the continuation of a case was heard, which in its course developed some start ling facts. To make the story intelligible, the following resume of the case is given— especially as at the first hearing it seemed not to present any features differing from those frequently occurring, and which, as in th s s instance, are passed over w'th briefest mention.

On Thursday, October 14f.h, before Mr Beetham alone, Harriet Bennst, brought tipi on information, o - e TSl'esnere Good win, charging him with that he, being the father of her illegitimate child, refu ed t > contribute to its support.

The girl, who Is a modest-looking girl, aged sixteen, was represented by Hr Stringer. Mr Longhrey appeared for the defendant, who is abon*-. twenty-two years old, and is described as the son of a we’l to-do farmer. * The complainant is the daughter of a farmer, and the parties re sided at Jreenpark, not far from each other;

At this hearing, after the complainant’s Story, it was shown that two brothers cf the giri had called on defendant, who refused to do anything for her on the ground that others had hod intercourse with her, A witness was called named Stephen Hubbard. He said he was not qnite sixteen years old, but he appeared a strapping fellow for bis age. He to’d m categorical story of a certain occasion when be bsd been int ; mote with the gi l He said that she bad enticed him one evening into the chapel yard. He added that be had met her that evening in com pany with two girls, Caroline and Emily Magou : they walked together a W'u’e, when the Magon girls left them at » corner and after that be and Miss Bennett went to the chapel y*rd. At this stag' the case was adjourned until to-day, to pro cure 'he attendance of the Magon girls. When the case came on t~-day Mr Stringer put the youth Hubbard into the box, and, in answer to questions, he re lated the following extraordinary story : “ They persuaded me to to say that ; they offered money to me to do It. Good win and his father came to my father’s bouse on the day before the Court day— October 13th. They brought some drink with them. They took me away to their place, I remained there ail night, and they drove me down to the Court. He offered me £3 to come to Court to clear him. Be told me what be was charged with. I wonld not have done it only he persuaded me. It is not true what I said before. I know nothing about the girl. He told me to say that I had been with her. When I g't home after the Conrt was over my father, who did not know where I had been, spoke to me, and I confessed to him.”

‘ To Mr Longhrey—l saw yon before Oe hearing, end told yon the msde-up slrry. Also that two other young fetlcws had tpld me that they had been with her. I said Kimber was ope of them. These yonng fellows never did tell me any such th'ng. I would not have done It only he persuaded me. It was Goodwin wbo persuaded me. To Mr Beetham—The story abor.t the chapelyard was entirely untrue Goodwin persuaded me, or 1 should not have said it. : Emily Msgon and Caroline Magon swore that they never were in company with Hubbard, together with Miss Ben nett. They never had walked on anj occa ion with Hubbard

Mr Loughrey recalled the complainant, who deposed that the intimacy wiih Goodwin took place on November 18 h, at about 730 or 8 p.m: Bhe fixed the date by the Cattle Show day. Mr Longhrey said he would produce evidence to show that defendant was a long way off the neighborhood on Novem her 18th. He called John Center.

John Cotter who was very drunk, got Into the witness-box with some difficulty, but Immediately laid bis head down on the book ledge and seemed Inclined to go to sleep, whereupon his Worship ordered him to be taken into custody and locked np. BJr Longhrey said Cotter sober was very different from Cotter drunk, h's tale, when ha was all right, was straight forward, and would to doubt, when beard, convince the Bench that the defen dant wfar away from the girl on the day she fixed on. All that could be done now was to ask for an adjournment until Cotter oonld be brought up when sober. Mr Stringer hoped that, in that case, good security would be exacted for the reappearance of Goodwinj for it was in tended to prefer charges of perju y and subornation of perjury when the evidence (of which there was more) was complete Mr Beethan said he intended te move in that direction, and Instructed Chief Detective Neil, who was present, to lay Informations against Hubbard for perjury and' against Goodwin for subornation of perjury. This was promptly done, and the ac» cased were remanded till October 26th. bail being exacted, Goodwin in £2OO aae two sureties »n £2OO each ; Hobbard him self in £IOO and one surety in £IOO. Hubbard’s father was rcoepted as his security, and it was understood that Pppdwiule bail would be found. The affiliation case also stands over till Octo ber 26tb.

THE ASHBURTON GUARDIAN, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1886



Benefactors. —“When a Board of eminent physicians and chemists announced the dis covery that by combining some well-known valuable remedies a most wonderful medicine was produced, which would cure such' a wide range of diseases that most all other remedies could be dispensed with, many were sceptical, but proof of its merits by actual trial has dispelled all doubt, and to-day the discoverers pf that great medicine, Dr Soule’s American Co.’s Hop Bitters, are honored and blessed by all as benefactors,” Bead



The best medicine known is Sander and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract. Test its eminent powerful effects in coughs, colds, influenza &c— the relief is instantaneous. Thousands give the most gratifying testimony. His Majesty the King of Italy and medical syndicates all over the globe are its patrons. Bead the official reports that accompany each bottle. We have no occasion to offer rewards in proof of the genuineness of our references. The official reports of medical clinics and universities, the official communication of the Consul-General for Italy at Melbourne ; the diploma awarded International Exhibition, Amsterdam —all these are authentic docu ments, and, as such, not open to doubt. We add here epitome of one of the various cases treated at the clinic of Schultz, M.D., Pro fessor, etc;— "CB., 21 years old; con gestions! abscess on the thigh. Incisions made in two places. Although Lister’s dressing was applied, the secretion became, two days later, very copious, and had adopted a foetid, decomposed character. The temperature arose enormously. In conse quence the dressing was removed, and on its place were made during the daytime repeated irrigations with Eucalypti Extract. The offensive foeter disappeared very soon, the fever abated within a few days, and the patient recovered after the lapse of several weeks. In this instance we mast not lose sight of the fact that the latter treatment saved the patient’s life.”—[Advt.]



Kawow * * * Rochester, Juno 1, 1882 “Ten yeus ago I was attacked with the moat Intense and deathly pains In my hack and Kidneys . “ Extending to the end of my t e« and to tnv brain ! “ Which made mo delirious ! “ From agony ! ! ! ! “ It took three men to hold me on my bed at times ! “ The Doctors tried in vain to relieve me, hut to no purple. Morphine and other opiates ! “ Hud no effect ! “ Af er two months I was given op to die ! ! ! ! “ When my wife heard a neighbor tell what Hop Bitters had done for her, she at onci got and gave me some. The first dose eased my brain and seemed to go hunting ihr >ngh mv system for the pain. The second dose eased me so much that I slept two hours, something I had not done for two months. Before I had used five bottles, I was well and at work as hard as any man could, for over three weeks ; but I worked too hard for my strength, and taking a hard cold, I was taken with the most acute and painful rheumatism all through my system that was ever known. “I called the doctors again, and after several weeks they left him a cripple on crutches for life, as they said. I met a friend and told him my case, and he said Hop Bitters had cured him and would cure me. I poohed at him, but he was so earnest I was induced to use them again. In less than four weeks, I threw away my crutches and went to work lightly and kept on using the bitters for five weeks, until I became as well as any map living, and have been so for six years since. It has also cuted my wife, who had been sick for years ; and has kept her and my children well and healthy with from two to three bottb-s a year. There is no need to be sick at nil if these bitters are used. J J. Berk, Ex-Supervisor. “ That poor invalid wife, Sister, Mother, “Or daughter! ! ! ! “ Can be made the picture of health “ with a few bottles of Hop Bitters ! “ Will you let them suffer ! ! ! !" Frotrcnte the Swimllers ! If when you call for American Hop Bitters (see green twig of Hops on the white label and Hr Sonic's name blown in the bott 7 e), the vendor hands out anything but American Hop Bitters refuse it and shun the vendor as yau would a viper; and if he has taken your money for anything else indict him for the fraud and sue him for damages for the swindle, and we will pay you liberally for the convic tion.
