The Sydenham Licensing Case.

[PER PKESS ASSOt I4TION.T PER PRE3S ASSOCIATION. Wellington, May 7. In the Sydenham appeal case Mr Harper mainly covered the same ground as Mr Bell. He further contended that the recent Act empowered the Governor to remove a disqualified bench. Sir Robert Stout, replying on behalf of the appellant committee, contended that none of the authorities cited on behalf of the , respondents applied in New Zealand, where power was given to the ratepayers to determine who should constitute h licensing bench. It involved an authority to direct that no licenses should be issued. It was not bias, which the respondent complained of, but the voice of the people pat intc effect by their representa tives. As already mentioned tho Court reserved judgment. The decision of the Court of Appeal in these cases, is not to betaken as final. The present appeal, which is being contested on behalf of the licensed victuallers, is a test case, and should it be upheld they will appeal to the Privy Council. It is stated that in the other event the temperance party will also carry their appeal on.

F. BLACK, PRACTICAL WATCH & CLOCK MAKEK, EAST STREET, ASHBDRTON. UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF MR ANDREW BLACK. Bronze Medalist for Watchmaking, London, 1887. Certificated from the City and Guilds of London Institute. Certificated from the British Horological Institute, London. First Award of Merit as a Workman frem the People's Palace Exhibition, London. MR ANDREW BLACK was a student at the British Horological Institute, and passed through all the different Branches, making two watches, one a key winder and one keyless ; he is therefore thoroughly competent to repair properly any watches that may be entrusted to him. He has noticed, while in tho colony, that w&tches are very often entirely spoiled through being entrusted for repair to men who lack the necessary tiaining. No one but a practical man can understand how to repair a watch properly, and as there is no royal road to watchmaking, good teaching and years of practice are necessary before a man can (with truth) call himself a watchmaker. Anyone possessing » valuable watch cannot therefore be too careful to keep it out of the hands of un trained men. All work will now be done personally by MR BLACK Stoppinz and Troublesome Watches THO KOUGHLY CURED. BE SURE OF THE ADDRESS— F.

In the discussion on theH ampstead water supply question at the County Council meet ing on Faiday, Mr Hugo Friedlander is re ported as having said that the Borough Council did not claim any right in the water in the river. He wishes us to say that this was not how he wished to put it, but that that "wasnotthetime todiscuss theborough claim to the water." An error also appears in refer ence to the tenders lor tree plantihg, Mr James Porter's which were accepted were as follows:—No 1 contract, £3 9s :No 2,£2 7s 6d ; No 3, £2 Is 6d. To-night the Dobson-Kennedy company will produce " Pygmalion and Galatea " — W. S. Gilberts mythological comedy in j three acts, and the well-known piece of | Irish humor " O'Cjllaghan on his last Legs." For both plays the company will be strengthened by the addition of two ladies, who rejoined the company to-day, after a short spell. The ladies are Mrs W. E. Jermyn and MissH. Hayes, both of whom have already made good names behind ' the footlights. In "Pygmalion and Galatea" we are promised by the press who have criticised it in other places a really good representation, and Mr Kennedy's " O'Callaghan " is a household word. To-morrow, the last night of the season, the company, will stage "The Colleen Bawn."

Having had inflammation of the bone ot the lee which came on after a severe attack of low fever, I was attended by Dr J. Boyd who had made strenuous efforts to save my leg, but without success. He found it necessary to amputate my limb. Having heard in the meantime of the wonderful cures worked by the Eucalypti Extract, I obtained a bottle, and the extract had not been applied more than an hour when I began to feel greatly relieved. After applying the extract every four hcursfor nine or ten d»v& it was out of all danger.
