T he Taranaki Dummying Charges.

PER PRESS ASSOCIATION,

New Plymouth, April 13. The case of Hendry for the alleged making a false declaration respecting the quantity of land owned by him when he applied for more, was heard to-day, Mr Samuel raised a point of law on which he argued for an acquittal, on the ground that the Land Act, 1888, and the Amend ment Act were repealed by an Act of 1892, and that no proceeding could be taken under an Act which should bedeemed not to have existed- Fe submitted that Clause 263 in the Act of 1892 did not refer to the recorery of penalties, and contended that under the same Act no prosecution should be taken in respect to past joffences. The Judge ruled against Mr Samuel for the present, but reserved the point for future considera tion. The witnesses examined were the Commissioner of Crown Ijands, William Trimble, Alfred Trimble and Waitt, re ceiving officer. Their evidence was purely of a formal character. The evidence for '.he Crown was similar to that given in the lower Conrt. For the defence R. 0. Hendry swore that he obtained a Land Guide from the Land Office two months previous to making the declaration. The Land Guide misled him as to the amount of land he could hold, and he made the de claration, believing that it was true. The Judge, in summing up, told the jury that no doubt the declaration by Hendry was a false one, buo was it false to his knowledge, or was he misled by the very persons v/ho ought to have rightly directed him, and who were now prosecuting him for that which in a very great degree, was their own fault 1 The jury, after an hour's deliberation returned a verdict of "Not Guilty," on the ground that there was a possibility that the defendant had been misled by the Crown Lands Guide. In each of the other cases against Hendry the Crown entered a nolleprosequi.

BANKING.

THE SUSPENSIONS.

PER PRESS ASSOCIATION;

London, April 12. Tha suspension of the English, Scottish and Australian Chartered Bank was not known in the City until after banking hours. April 13. The British deposits in tho English, Scottish and Australian Chartered Bank amount to £850,000, which is about equally divided between the three King doms. The bank's solicitors have been instructed to petition the Court for liqui dation, with a view to protect the assets. A meeting of shareholders is to be called immediately to consider matters. An eminent London expert is preparing a scheme for the reconstruction of the insti tution. The directois believe that the capital reserve is intact, and that, unless affairs in Australia are found to be in an utterly chaotic state, there will be a surplus of more than £1,000,000, The present liability is set down at—Current accounts, £906,000 ; fixed deposits, £4,058,000. (Received April 14,11.10 a.m.) London, April 13. The liquidators of the New Oriental Bank hope to pay a dividend of two shillings on June 5. (Received April 14, 11.30 a.m.) The Bank of Australasia and Union Bank of Australia have arranged to ad vance against drafts on London of the English, Scottish and Australian Chartered (Received April 14, 11.15 a.m.) London, April 13. Mr Malcolm (of McEwan and f O .), addressing a meeting of the shareholders of the Commercial Bank, thought it would be advisable to increase the power of control of the London Board of Directors, and that either the London or the Melbourne Board should be specially selected in the interests of British deposi tors. He considers the repayment of deposits should be made in equal instal ments extending over four, five, six or seven years. Mr Malcolm promised to cable to the management in Melbourne, suggesting that no preterence should be made in the payment of depositors, also that depositors should rank before share holders in the reconstructed bank. A small minority of the shareholders of the bank of South xiustralia proposed that liquidation should be continued under the supervision of the Court, but an overwhelming majority preferred it should be conducted on the present lines. The "Standard" and "Daily Tele graph " urge depositors not to wreck other banks by withdrawing money under the pressure of panic: "The Times and other newspapers blame 'th« depositors for ruining: a |barik which is believed to have a substantial business though depo sits are not employed on strict banking principles. * Sydney, April 14. Kumors are rife regarding the stability of several minor banks. Melbourne, April 14. The suspension of the Chartered Bank caused comparatively little excitement. The manager states that taking the Aus tralian business afc the lowest estimate, there will be still a large surplus. There are over half a million sovereigns m the Bank's coffers, but withdrawals were so persistent that the Bank were compelled to suspend. _ Colbmane" ani> Sons Eucalypte Ex tract is the only genuine in the market, and was a warded ineOals mid diplbnlas at Sydney, Melbourne 1, and Adelaide, beating all competitors.

SANDER AND SON'S s EUCALYPTI EXTRACT There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market now, products of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may nob 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 ur through i the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we state:— It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinica 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 and freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper to the plant. Bander and Sons' Kuealypti Extract, according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr Lister, of England, and to Drs Bauer, Mclntire, Wood, Hazard, etc., of America, is the only extract corresponding to scientific tests, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. All other crude oils are to be classed amcns the turpentimes, which have, when used as medicine, no therapeutic effect and are abandoned as an internal medicament, j 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 pungent 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 tannatep. If these crude oils, cr 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, Australia.— Slander and Sons
