the JuJge, stated that he had gone into the prisoner's accounts as far back a^ 1888, and found the irregular items amounted to £3664, and of this £61.3 was cash appropriated by prisoner. Prisoner did not give him tho impression of incom petency. The system of keeping accounts was vile, buc prisoner was not responsible for that. In passing sentence his Honor took into consideration the prisoner's hi^h chaiacter prior to these frauds. He dis counted the evidence as to incompetency by pointing out that there had been de liberate forgery and appropriation of money, and sentenced prisoner to four years' penal servitude on each offence, to run concurrently.

The Crown Prosecutor m opening mentioned that although blood ■was found on prisoner's shirt he could not prove it was human, the corpuscles having dried too much. The evidence will be much the same as that already ad duced, and it is not thought there is much likelihood of a conviction. The two re maining cases on the calendar have been postponed till Monday.

In the evening a concert is to be held, so that visitors will have a full day's amusement. We clip the following important testimo nial from the '' Illawarra Mercury " (N. S. W of the 30th March. It needs no comment :— " Mr John Loveday, of the Bulli Mountains ■writes to us that after suffering for four years with acute gravel, he has experienced almost complete relief by using Sander and Sons Eucalyptic Ex tract. He say s : —" Seeing th c said Extract advertised m the ' Illawarra Mercury,' his intense suffering induced him to obtain a bottle of the medicine from Mr Hosking, chemist, of this town, and that the use of it gave him great relief at once. He states that between 10th March inst., when he obtained the first bottle of the extract, and the 19th, the use of that medicine continued to afford him relief, to which he had been a stranger for four years. Mr Loveday writes also that he lias found the Eucalypti Extract <* cure for rheumatism as well as gravel. He requests us to publish this information through the ' Mercury.' We have much pleasure m complying with Mr Loveday's request, whose word cannot be doubted, and who can have no object m view other than a pure desire to beneiit suffering humanity. "—(Advt.) 2
