Harrison, Justices of the Peace ) Allegkp False Pretences - Thorns Green was charged with having obtained from Oraighead and Berryman, tailors, a pair of trousers on false pretences, on March 11. Accused pleaded not- guilty. H. G. Berryman, partner in the firm of Craigbead and Berryman, said he was at Longbeach taking orders, and accused gave an order for a pair of trousers, and said he would pay for them on delivery. Accused was then working for Mr Gngg The trouseis were then sent down by coach in the usual way, and delivered to accused, who disappeared and had not yet paid for the goods. -B. R. Bj»wne» coachman, deposed to having delivered the trousers tv accused, but the latter gave him no money for them—Detective Neil said he arrested accused in Christ onurch. He was then wearing the trousers—To the Bench accused said he had a return, ticket, and intended coming back to %jhburton to pay Mr Berryman, having no intention at, all of cheating him. Detective Neil said the man had a return ticket as stated, but had only 8s 6d in money. The man was recently from Sydney. The Bench said the firm had acted very loosely m delivering the goods without any instruc tions to collect the money before delivery, The accused had certainly obtained Jthe goods on a promise he did not fulfil. Ihe goods would be returned to the firm, and accused would be convicted andimprisoned till the rising of thb Court. Dbxtnkbnness.—A young man was cautioned "md discharged. He had been the worse of liquor and sky-larking on the public street, aad the Sergernt said ii was his intention to put a stop to this sort of thing, and had brought this ca^e with that object.

Ashburton Live Stock Market.

The number i,f sheep entered for this week's sale at the A'ah burton saleyards was the largest that has yet been re corded here. Every pen, y»rd, and race ' was occupied, several lines were in the adjoining paddock, and otheis were left out on che roads. The sale was dull, but considering the enorjnousquantity offered, making up over 70,000 for the week, pricls were wonderfully well maintained. The beat lines of crossbred ewes sold well, and- good, pound merino ewes also brought fairly firm prices, but secondary and inferior lots of both merino and crossbred were, decidedly lower than at the Ram and Ewe Fair. A large propor tion of the entries consisted of merino wethers and second class merino ewes from the north. Of these a good propor tion of the ewes were sold, but biddings for the wethers seldom reached owners reserves. Crossbred lambs were also decidedly lower in price.

SANDER AND SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT] f There are imitations of Eucalypti Extrac in the market now, products of simpl distillation forming crude resinous oils. I order that these crude oils may not be take for Our Pure "Volatile JEuc»' lyj>fci Extract, which is recognise* by the medical division of the Prußsiai Government to be of perfectly pure origin as per information forwarded to iw througl the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878 we state:— It is proved by tests made by the Medica Clinics of the Universities at Bonn anc Greifswald, Prussia, and reported by Di Schulz, Professor of Pharmacology at Bonn, and Professor Dr Moaler, Director of th< Medical Clinic at Greifswald, that onlj products that are saturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and othei substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develop the sanative qualities proper tc the plant. Mnuder* and Sons* 9 Jfetaenlypti 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 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 acide. 3. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tannatep. If these cruda oils, or so called eucalypti extracts are applied by mistake in cases of croup, bronchitis, diptberia, internal in flammations, dysentery, wounds, etc., the consequences are most appalling. For safety sake ask always for Sander and Song' Eucalypti Ex tract and get the old, well-tested and reliable preparation.—Sandhurst, Victoria, Australia.— Zander and Sons » ■ L ... - —■ Government Notices.
