By Mr Harper—l'heletter produced isone to Messrs Cufi and Graham written by wit ness and signed by John Clark and himselt Instructing them to alter the system of forwarding MUs of lading. Thfa md been previously gent the first bill to the ( Union Bank, Sydney, tbe wuond .to Joseph Clark, Tinwaid, The latter to Ouff and Graham instructed them to send tbe bills of lading to Clark Bros, Sydney, and to Joseph Clark, Tinwald. Whoa Mr Bhury came over abont the storage re ceipts he did not have them Tiith him, be went back afterrards to Ashbutton for By' Mr Fisher—The letter about tha bills of lading was written after the Notero and Argns shipmenta, but the bills of lading oaino to the bank after all. The Judge esked if any evidence was coming from tbe Bank of New South . Walei. R.W. Jenkins, manager, Bank of New Bouth Wales, Ashborton, said he was pressing Olark for an amount, and he voluntarily tendered a storage receipt for a certain quantity of grain, hoping to get more time. The receipt was in his pos session at the present time. This closed the evidence, and counsel did not address the Bench. I His Honor said there had not been a , single word of evidence pat before him to show what quantity of grain was in the ■tore at the time it was taken possession | 1 of by the Deputy-Official Assignee. | Mr Harper read tha figures quoted in Mr Clark's evidence as to the quamity held in store ou farmers' account. His Honor said that the farmers, Gilmour and Dawson, had cold their grain o Clark as they said »' out and out," and he gave them equivalent to an undertaking to hold their wheat until they could be paid. In regard to the Bank of New South Wales be bad done something

of the same kind. In the case of tbe Union Bank he had been allowed to deal

with the grain much as he chose, bo Ion? ■■ mhe paid into the Bank money to reduca the overdraft. When he did ao he waa allowed to release his storage receipts*. j But it appeared to His Honor Ihat when he sold the grain covered by tbe receipts . given to the Btnk, and pad in the proceeds, be led tho Bank to understand , that the money he was paying in was the proceeds of ea'es on account of farmrra. If the transaction In regard to the bills of lading for Sydney had been substantially proved .by Sydney evidence and theao were of a rascally and swindling character, it would have been very awkward for Mr Olark. - He did not suppose the charge in regard to proper book keeping would be proved, and he could scarcely say that ; the charge of fraudulently obtaining credit bad been established on evidence. t He wonld dismiss all the charges, but it would be for the Assignee to apply for the examination to be kept open, Mr Fiohe? urged the closing of tho examination, but {the application by the Assignee'as suggested by his Honor waa m*de and granted. The Court adjourned until half-past leu

PARNELL COMMISSION'S REPORT.

DEBATE IN THE HOUSE.

(FSB PBESB ASSOCIATION.)

London, March 10

Mr Gladstone's amendment to the Government motion regarding ihe Parnell Commission report was re jected by 339 to 268. London, March 11

Lord Randolph Churchill and Mr W. S. Came, the Unionist whip, did pot vete on Mr Gladstone's amend ment, Mr Jennings' amendment is being discussed torday, During the debate in the House Mr Sexton said that there was grave reason to suspect the Government of suborn ing witnesses in fovor of "The Times." He held a letter addressed by Lord Salisbury to Piggott after the tatter's forgeries had been exposed. Mr Balfour challenged him to read it. Mr Sexton said he did not meaa to imply that the Premier conspired with Pigott. He would read the letter if the Com mittee gave him leave. Mr Balfour rejoined that Lord Salisbury was willing to have it published anywhere, If ••The Times" was culpably credulous, the Parnellites were culpably careless. Through the League, criminals were paid, but never a shilling was devoted to the detection of crime. Silence about murder was purchased. The soldiers of the League were Moonlighters and Us paymaster preached dynamite.

MISTAKEN FOR A CORPSE

A certified corpse was being taken by two porterg to the morgue in Paris, on a stretcher, when it suddenly alarmed its carriers by sitting up and asking for a drink. It was a worthy female who having got oat off a train at the Mont-' parnasse station, fell down on the plat-1 form and apparently gave up the ghost. A reputed doctor who was near eaid the iroman'p he»rt and pulpe had ceaged $0

beat, bo she was accordingly sent by stretcher to the unlovely establishment in mid-Seine, where the dead bodie3 of city castaways are kept for dissection and burial. The woman awoke on the Place dv Parvis de Notre Dame, and instead of taking her to the direful desti nation for which she had been intended, ■ her kind carriers marched her into the t | adjacent hospital—tha Hotel Dieu— where she was installed temporarily in a warm ward, and received refreshments. She had, according to the Paris corres pondent of the " Daily Telegraph," been over-fatigued by a railway journey from Brest, and the cold had brought ou an attack of congestion of the brain.

Holloway's Pills and Ointment.— The attention of all suSerers is drawn to these well-known remedies, for they possess con spicuous advantages as a safe and reliable remedy in all those emergencies to which travellers, emigrants and sailors are so especi ally liable. They have been largely patronised by wayfarers by land and sea, and, in fact, by all classes of the community, to their very great advantage. The Pills .are beyond all doubt one of the most effective remedies ever discovered for cases of obstinate constipation, confirmed indigestion and colic, complaints which are engendered by exposure and irregular feeding, The Ointment will be found of the very greatest service in cases of piles, abscesses, erysipelas and all kinds of local ulcerations.

r THE ASHBURTOt* GUARDIAN, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, !£•(>.



1 supposed it to be caused by the heat of the ) fire room. Quite often he was sick and felt, like vomiting, and had some pain in the head. Later during the passage he grow worse, and when the ship reached Halifax he was placed in the Victoria General Hospital, and the ship sailed away without him. The house surgeon gave him some powders to stop the vomiting, and the next day the visiting physician gave him a mixture to take every four hours. Within two days Wade was so much worse that the doctors stopped both the • powders and the mixture. A month passed the poor fireman getting worse and woise. 1 Then came another doctor, who was to be visiting physician for the next five months. He gave other medicines, but not much relief. Nearly all that time Wade suffered great torture ; he digested nothing, throwing up all he ate. There was terrible pain in the bowels, burning heat in the throat, heartburn, and racking headache. The patient was now taking a mixture every four hours, powders, one after each meal to digest the food, operat iug pills one every night, and temperature pills two each night to stop the cold sweats. If drugs could cure him at all, Rcihard had an idea that he took enough to do it, But on the other hand pleurisy set in and the took ninety ounces of matter from his rigM sides and then told him he was sure to die. Five months more rolled by, and there was another change, of visiting physicians. The new one gave Wade a mixture which he said made him tremble like a leaf on a tree. At this crisis Wade's Scotch blood assented itself. He refused to stand any more dosing, and told the doctors that if he must die he could die as well without them as with them. By this time a cup of milk would turn sour on his stomach, and lie there for days. Our friend from Glasgow was like a wreck on a shoal, fast going to pieces. *We will let him tell the rest of his experience in the words in which he commuuicated it to the press. He says: " When I was in this state a lady whom I had never seen came to the hospital and talked with me. She proved to bean angel of mercy, for without her I should not now be alive;" She told me of a medicine called ' Mother Seigal's Curative Syrup,' and brought me a bottle next day. I started with it, without consulting the doctors, and in only a few days' time I was out of bed calling for ham and eggs for breakfast. From that time, keeping on with Mother Seigel's great remedy, I got well fast, and was soon able to leave the hospital and come home to Glasgow. I now feel as if I was in another world, and have no illness of any kind," The above facts are calmly and impartially stated, and the reader may draw his own conclusion; We deem it best to use no names although Mr Wade gave them in his original deposition. His address is No. 244, Stob cross street, Glasgow, where letters will reach him, 3

TEN MONTHS'SUFFERING IN A HOSHTAL ■ ■ ~* . There is an old saying £hat physicians are a class of men who pour drugs, of which they know little, into bodies of which they know Jess. This is both true and untrue at the same time. There are good and poor lawyers, and good and poor doctors. The trouble with. these medical gentlemen as a profession is that they are clannish, and apt to be conceited. They don't like to be beaten at their own tra deby outsiders who have never studied medicine. They therefore pay, by their fre quent failures, the penalty of refusing instruc tion unless the teacher bears ♦here own " Hall Mark" An eminent physician— Dr Brown-Sequard, i of Paris— stages the fact accurately when he says ; " The medical profession are so bound up in their self-confidence and conceit that they allow the diamond truths of science to be I picked up by persons entirely outside their ) ranks." We give a most interesting incident, which illustrates this important truth. The steamship " Concordia," of the Dona dson Line, sailed from Clasgow for Baltimore in 1887, having on board as a fire man a man named Richard Wade, of Glasgow. He had been a fireman for fourteen years on various ships sailing to America, China, and India, He had born the hard and exhausting abor, and had been healthy and strongs On the trip we now name he began for the first I time to feel weak and ill. His appetite, - failed, and he suffered from drowsiness, heart | burn, a bad taste in the mouth, and costiveness i and irregularity of the bowels.
