COURT OF APPEAL.

IMPORTAHT JUDGMENTS.

ram press association.

Wiixinoton, May 12. The Court of Appeal delivered several judgments this morning. In the Wellington- Manawatu Railway Company v. Commis sioner of Tazee, the Court unanimously held that debenture holders are liable to the mortgage tax to the extent of only half of the value of the land on which the deben tures are charged, the value of the lands forming the railway and permanent way to be included i» this, though the Act exempts from land tax land in the hands of the Com pany. Mortgages held by the Company are not to be reckoned as land charged by the debentures. The debenture holders arc liable to income tax on the income derived ram the balance of the debentures over and above the half of the land charges. The Company is held exempted from inoome tax on the proportion of income derived from the land forming the railway and permanent way, which are themselves exempted from land tax by the Act. No costs were allowed. In the W*irarapa Lake case the Court held (Judge, Ward dissenting) that the outlet to the lake, though regularly closed at certain seasons, was a natural water course and therefore a public drain, and that the County Council and River Board had power to keep it open. Costs were allowed on the highest scale. Application for leave to appeal to the Privy Council was adjourned to Thursday. In Queen v. Scott the Court unanimously held it was not obligatory on the Lsni Board and Commissioner to declare forfei ture for non-payment, and that the rent claimed could be recovered. Judgment for plaintiff, with costs on the lowest scale. In Aldrige's case the Court was unani mously of opinion that Mr Edwards was judge de facto, and the warrant of imprison ment could not be attacked on a habeas eorput. Mr Justice Richmond expressed a strong opinion that *Mr Edwards was judge de facto in the full sense of the teirn, aad that bis decisions were irreversible in any form of proceeding, oh the gronnd that he was not Judge dejurc. In Ell's case the Court unanimously held that though the Act of 1892 might allow of an undischarged bankrupt being appointed trustee of his own estate, Mr Justice Den niston had properly exwoieed his discretion in refusing the application in this particular nstance. •

IMPERIAL POLITICS.

MR PKESS AWOCIATIOP.

SANDER AND SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract iv the market now, products of simple distillation forming-crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken Our Pure Volatile Euca lypti Extract, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as per information forwarded to us through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878 I we state:— It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr Schulz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Mosler, Director of the Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that only products that are saturated with oxygen aod freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant. Hander and thorns' Eucalypti Extract, according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr Lister^ of" England, and tc Dra Bauer, Molntire, Wood; Hazard, etc., of America, is the only extract corresponding to scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. AH other crude oils are to be classed among the turpentimes, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament. These so called Eucalypti Extracts, which may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles and are used for mechanical purposes only are discernible: 1. By their deficiency in punsjent odour (which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extract, develops most freely through its surplus of oxygen). 2. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appearance, being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. 3. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tannater. . If these crude oils, or so called eucalypti extracts are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diptheria, internal in flammations, dysentery, wounds, etc., the consequences are most appalling. For safety sake ask always for Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Ex tract and get the old, well-tested and reliable preparation —Sandhurst, Victoria, A untralJa.— Sander and Soni
