ASHBURTON—THURSDAY.

(Before Mr C. A. Wray. KM.) Cattle Tbespass.—S. Elliott was fined 5s without costs for having one cow at large in We?t Sfreet. P. Williams fot allowing horses and cattle io be grazed in Eainpstead and Ashburton on Sunday mortiit'g last, waa fined 5* and costs. John Brown was charged with permitting 200 sheep to graze on Wakanui Road and with rescuing the &a.na from Albert Comp:on. He admitted both charges, and was fined 20s on each and costs. Civil Cases.—Samuel H*rdley v A. Gadd, 17s for photographs nob delivered ; John Orr and Co. v William Gtfay £1 Is for goods supplied.—judgment in each case by default for amount and cost.-—S. Boyle v H. McKay, £19 10* for wages. Mr Crisp for plaintiff, Mr Purnell for de fondant. S. Boyle said he and his son wero employed to look after some sheep. Some were at FairfUld and some at Dromore. The ewes were in the middle of lambing. Next day saw defendant and four or five men with dogs. Defendant said he wanted a man and a ooy to look after the sheep at Dromore. Mcivay said they were to be paid for the work. Witness and his son looked after the sheep for eight days ior which 10* a day per man was a fair charge. Carted some chaff and bran to .Fairfield for the sheep. Went every day to Fairfield to feed the sheep. McKay sent for witness to the" yards to take out some sheep of Clark's afe the sale. He also sent him to Miles and Company to identify same skins. He asked witness if he had a letter from him. Witness h^d not had it and McKay read him a copy offering him £2 10s. Told him he must be ctanky, and declined to take it. Received the letter and cheque next day. Cross examined by Mr Purnell—Had looked after these sheep for some time on account of Mr R, Alcorn and himself. Claimed an interest in the sheep now. Con sidered he was a partner in the sheep at the time McKay engaged him to look after them, and up to the present time. While looking after the sheep for Alcorn was to draw 25 s per week from Alcorn, to be charged against the sheep account, and received half of the profits. In the past Aloorn had never paid witness's son. An arrangement was recently made by which Alcorn's creditors took over the sheep. McKay is manager for one of the creditors, and has personally no interest in the flieep. On Sept. 12 McKaj ! showed witness his order to take chaige, and said witness should look after the sheep. Had been threatened with pro ceedings for removing fifty-five sheep from Knnis'. By Mr Crisp - Alcorn's creditors had a meeting before Sept. 12. Did buy for him after that. Never had I instructions from anyone but McKay. Nothing was said about the pay.—John 0. Beyle said he was engaged by his father for a fortnight to tend-the sheep. Got from 103 to 15s per day from other people. Waa at work the whole time. His father had paid him 10a per day. By Mr Pumell—His father paid him cash on Sept 27- Was in the paddocks every day—Mr Purnell said his client had reßlly nothing to do with this Cise. Mr Alcorn's creditors arranged to take the sheep, and then Boyle set up a claim to them, and it was arranged he should go on in charge of the sheep until the claim was looked into. As a fact Boyle and his eon did not look after the sheep, and some of them were removed without Boyle knowing it. He would show he was absent altogether on four or five of the days charged for.—H. McKay, defendant., was employed by Miles and Co to look after their stock. Did not make any arrangement with Boyle, and was not present when any was made. Had instructions to take charge of the sheep from Boyle. Saw Boyle the same day and showed him the order. Also saw Boyle the next morning. Did not know young Boyle atall. Told Boylehe did not know that he or his son would be paid for his services. Did not engage him. Boyle said if witness got some one to look after the sheep at Clark's he would look after a]l the others. Said "very well," and employed Drennan to take charge of all Alcorn's sheep. Also had McGrandell, Weir, Primmer, and Mc- Dougall, The sheep were lambing and any person employed ought to have been with them constantly. The sheep were removed from Moir's on September 19, was present himself, and visited the pad docks sometimes twice a day, sometimes once. Never saw Boyle or his son with the sheep. Boyle removed the 55 against his will. Gave Bjyle no authority to go to sales. By Mr Crisp—The sheep were in my possession before I saw Boyle. Considered the sheep Alcorn's. Knew the Fairfield sheep had chaff, and believed Boyle may have carted it. Knew chaff was ordered for the sheep. The notice to Boyle to leave on September 25 was sent because he was not doing any work. There waa work enough for two men. Had not paid anyone Boyle em ployed. The cheque £2 10s is in my writing, and was instructed to offer it. —D. Thomas said he was a creditor of Alcorn's, Bojle was present on Septem ber 12 at a meeting. Boyle claimed an Interest in the sheep. Boyle was told he could go on as before till the claim was looked into.—R. Alcorn said he had paid Boyle 25s per week and half the profits from tfie sheep, which was all he was to get. Any arrangement he made with his eon would be between those two. —Thos. Drennan was placed in charge of the sheep, Visited Moir's and Fairfield every day. Saw Boyle there one day and his son one day.JNevarsawthem on any otherocca sions,—His Worship said it was clear it was only a friendly arrangement made till Boyles claim had been considered. He had done very little, and it was quite reasonable his services should be dispensed with as they were. Judgment would be for defendant.

Alcohol in Medicine.

(From the Chemist auJ Druggitt o£ August 26.) The fourth iucernational Congress to protest against the abuse <J alcohol met ab The Hague last week, and there were no fewer than 346 delegates, 80 of whom were ladies. Every country in Kurope, with the exception of Turkey and Spain, was represented. This was the fourth Congress of the series, and was by far the most numerously attended, feir Dyce Duckworth, the English vice-president, opened the first day's discussion with a paper which astonished the delegates In a cleverly-written essay he argued that moderate drinking was conducive to health and general well-being, and the consterna tion of the meeting and the indignant expressions his paper provoked ware most amusing. When the doctor, who is head physician to St. Bartholomew's hospital, observed that they could no more abolish alcohol if they would than they coald abolish bread and butter, there were heavy grcans from all parts of the room ; he was not; allowed to proceed with, his paper for fully three or four minutes until order was restored. Matters grew worse when Professor Sokvis, of Amsterdam, the first medical man in Holland, sup ported fche English doctor's contentions, while the adjournment for lunch was rendered absolutely necessary to avoid bloodshed after the speech of Dr Schmitz, of Bonn, who was quite of his iEsculapian brethren's opinions.
