A Bank Manager Shot.

Sydnby, April 18. Mr McKay, manager of a branch of the Commercial Bank at Banaha, 78 miles from Tamworth, was shot dead at noon to-day by two armed men. Very few particulars are at hand, and it has not been ascertained whether any money has been stolen. Both men escaped but search parties have gone in pursuit of them. M'Kay was shot right through the head. The two local policemen were absent from the town when the affair happened, but while returning they met the two murderers on the road, riding hard. At that time they were not aware of the tragedy, and conse quently paid very Htttle attention to i the men. j Sydnby, April 19. j The firing of the shot which killed Mr McKay, the bank manager at Barnabo, brought several residents to the scene of the murder, and this is be lieved to have caused the murderers to depart without securing money. The men menaced several persons who attempted to prevent their departure.

MAGISTERIAL.

ASHBURTON—THURSDAY.

Before Mr C. A. Wray, S.M.)

Civil Gases—J. F. Elßton vW. Bryant, £1 3s 4i —a week's wages. Mr Cuthbert son appeared for defendant, who disputed the claim as Elston had left without giving notice, thereby greatly inconveniencing him in having fco find someone to do his round. Plaintiff asserted that he had been engaged for a fortnight by Bryant, and had left after eight days' workv as he was asked to do work not in accordance with the terms of his agreement. Judg ment for plaintiff. R. Mead em v R. Luscombe, £35 4s. This case wan con-' tinued from April 5, Mr Wilding for. plaintiff, Mr Parnell for defendant Defendant disputed the amount of the account. Continuing his evidence he stated that he considered he had been j overcharged in the matter of time, and the I beans and linseed had not been properly threshed. Cross-examined by Mr Wilding I —Some of the linseed was rough. Had not said anything to Meaclem at the time j about disputing the amount. By the Magistrate—Though he had complained to Meaclem while threshing, he had not sent him away, as, if he had done so, he might not have got his produce threshed at all, and he expected plaintiff to roake a fair allowance for stoppages and conse quent loss of time, in which case he would not have disputed the amount. W. Houston and A. J. Houston were called, and gave evidence to the effect that there was nothing about the linseed to caose it to be so badly threshed as it had been, and they considered the price charged unreason able. They thought quite five per cent of the linseed had been wasted. Mr Wilding for plaintiff stated that he could call evidence to show that Mr Meaclem had done threshing work for others in a satisfactory manner. Mr Luscombe's beans were in a rough state, and if he was dissatisfied with the work his remedy was simple. The Magistrate said that it was evident that the time taken over the beans was longer than usual. It was admitted thatfche crop was a rough one. It appeared to him that the proper coarse for defendant would have been to order plaintiff to stop. Evidence had not been called proving that the time charged for by plaintiff was not rightly charged. His Worship gave judgment for plaintiff with costs.— Rollitt and Co v Alexander Protheroe, £22 Is. In this case heard last Court day his Worship gave judgment as fol lows :~-The plaintiff in May 1893 agreed to purchase the whole of the defendant's wheat lying in Friedlander's store through Mr Makeig, the defendant's agent in the transaction. A sale rate was signed show ing the approximate quantity as 711 sacks, but containing no reference to quality. About a fortnight afterwards he paid for the wheat on the quantity men- • tioned in the storage receipts—72B sacks at 2s 6d a bushel and sixpence for each sack. The wheat was then in Messrs Friedlander's store, and it was placed on trucks as the plaintiff required it. He took away 686 sacks, and on July 12 dis covered that there was none of the same quality of wheat left in the store. It ap pears that the remaining 42 sacks, the price of which he now claims to be repaid, were in the store, but that not being as he considered of the quality which he claims to have purchased he treated them as 42 bags short, and wrote to the defen dant asking him for the balance. To this the defendant made no reply because, as he now says, he considered that the wheat was out of his hands. The plaintiff al leges that he purchased the wheat by sample from Makeig—a good milling wheat—and Makeig corroborates the statement. The defendant, ..however, denies that he agreed to sell a portion only of the wheat or that anything was said about good milling wheat. Be says h<3 produced five different samples and declined to split the quantity and sell on the merits as to quality, but insisted on selling the whole or noae at 2s 6d a bushel, and told Makeig to inspect it. There is no fraud or wilf nl misrepresentation imputed by the plaintiff to the defendant or his agent, and it is clear on the evidence that the conduct of both agent and principal repels the notion of a constructive fraud in either. In the first place, then, is the sale a sale by sample ? A sale of goods by sample was in effect a warranty that the goods were equal to the sample, but if there were sale notes or any other written agreement, not alluding to the sample, there was no sale by sample. Then on the authorities quoted, the case of Harner v Groves seema to apply and shows that where goods are sold which turn out to be of less value than the price paid for them, the extra price, if there be no fraud cannot be recovered back. The rule in these cases (as laid down by Tyndall, 0.P.) appears to be that where upon the sale of goods the purchaser is satisfied without requiring a warranty—which is a matter for his own consideration—he cannot recover upon a mere representation of the quality by the seller, unless he can show that the repre sentation was bottomed in fraud. It seems that the maxim of '• caveat emptor " must apply, and that the plaintiff must suffer for his want of care in not inspecting the wheat or obtaining a warranty. Judgment for defendant with costs.

Marriages.

It is said to be a sign of prosperity when the number of marriages in any country is on the increase, and there fore it will not come as a surprise to moat people to find that there has been a decrease in the weddings in the Aus tralian colonies for 1893 as compared with 1892. Curiously enough, in New Zealand it seems to be an open question whether we are prospering or hot, but it is an argument in favor of the more hopeful ones that there was an increase In weddings of 98. Referring to these statistics, an Australian contemporary states that in view of recent news from NBW Zealand, it would appear that the question, "Why don't the men marry ?" has been launched wrong side up. Over there one of the causes why the men don't marry is that the I women won't consent to be married. This, at least, was the experience of a man who the other day went to the altar to claim his bride, but when the critical moment came met a point-blank ! refusal. To the question, " Wilt thou have this man?" she peremptorily answered " No," Parents and friends remonstrated, but without avail. She would not have him, and that was an end of it. An adjournment was made to the vestry to talk the matter over, from which no better results were ob tained, after whioh the clergyman officially announced that owing to the " indisposition " of the bride matters could not proceed any further. And yet people rise to indignantly ask, "Why don't men marry V The allu sion is evidently to the recent extraor dinary occurrence at a Wellington marriage ceremony whioh was re counted in these columns.
