ASHBURTON—THURSDAY.

(Before Mr 0. A. Wray. R.M.) Borough By-Laws.—E, S, Lowe was fined Is for driving sheep in East street contrary to the by laws. Sheep Act —Hamish McLean and James Johnston (Springburn) were charged with having unbranded sheep. Mr Bees, the inspector, asked for tho lightest penalty, as the sheep in this case were lambs, and many farmers believed lambs were not required to be branded, but the Act made branding compulsory at four months old. Fines of a penny per head were inflicted. Civil Cases.—L, Thompson vH. «T. Harrison, £2 7s 4d % This was a claim for wages alleged to be due tor harvest work done. Mr Crisp for defendant contended that plaintiff having broken his engage ment to see. the harvest through, with defendant forfeited his claim fur any wages that may be owing. Plaintiff said there had been no contract to stay out the harvest, and he left when it suited him. He was to be paid 10d An hour. De fendant said plaintiff left him in the thick of harvest without a mom snt'a notice, and the case was defended because so many instances of this kind occurred that farmers were put to gr^at inconvenience and much loss in consequence. His Worthip said in the absence of any specific con tract the man was entitled to the wages he had actually earned. Farmers and farm servants would save much litigation if they would make their contracts in Writing. He had great sympathy with any farmer placed in circumstances similar to Mr Harrison, but as it was he would have to give judgment for plaintiff for £1 19a 2d. Jane Elliott v Samuel Carr, £7 12s— judgment for plaintiff by default.

SUPREME COURT.

(PER PRESS ASSOCIATION^ Auckland, March 29. Mr Cooper's address to the jury on behalf of the Grown occupied three hours. Hia Honor Judge Conolly, in summing up, pointed out that there was very little doubt the death of Thompson resulted from strychnine poisoning, and the ques tion for the jury to consider was whether he committed suicide or waa murdered. As to motives for suicide there was no evidence to show he was pressed for money, while the statement made by the i prisoner that Thompson had been in a despondent state of mind had been proved to be absolutely untrue. The Judge's address had not concluded when the Court rose. Auckland, March 30. His Honor, in concluding his address to the jury, said there was every evidence of motive. In the evidence of familiarity between Scott and Mrs Thompson, it was amply proved that the woman was lost to eyery sense of decency, and that immoral relations had existed between her and the prisoner. A certain letter written by Scott and found in his pocket, on which the prosecution founded the theory of a long conceived intention on the part of the prisoner, was proved to be addressed to Mrs Thomp son. There was, however, no ground for a charge of complicity against, Mrs Thompson, as it was not proved she ever received it. Th* summing up con ! eluded shortly after noon, and the jury retired. * The jury returned shortly after two o'clock with a verdict of guilty. The .luds>R parsed sentence of death, and said he could hold out no hope of reprieve. .

SANDER AND SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT There are imitations of Eucalypti Extract in the market now, produces of simple distillation forming crude resinous oils. In order that these crude oils may not be taken for Our Pure Volatile Enca lyjjti JSxrract, 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,! we state:— It is proved by tests made by the Medical Clinics of the Universities at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Dr Sch'ulz, 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. Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Extract, according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr Lister, of England, and tc 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 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 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 tannacter. % 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, Australia.— (slander and Sous The Best Remedy fob Indigestion— Norton's Camomile Pills are confidently recommended as a simple remedy for Indigestion, which is the cause of nearly all the diseases to which we are subjects Norton's Pills, with justice called the "Natural .Strengthener of the Human Stomach," act as a powerful tonic and gentle aperient, are mild in their operation, and safe under any circumstances.
