ASHBURTON MARKETS.

The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Limited (A. W. Steele, auctioneer), reports on the stock market for the week as follows :—At Ashburton yarda on Tuesday the entries were not large and the bidding far from spirited, though BOrne lines brought good values, notably a line of 164 merino wethers, which we sold at 83. Merino ewes realised 4s 9d to 7s, crossbred wethers 12s 6d to 14s, cro«bred and half bred nonets ranged from 5a lid to 12a 2d, according to condition. Merino ewes m lamb brought up to 4a lOd, but several lines were passed m, the bidding not coming up to owners 1 ideas of values. A small line of merino ewes, with lambs at foot, sold at 8s sd. Crossbred ewes m lamb brought up to 13s. Mr David Thomas reports as follows upon the live «tock market for the week ending August 29 :—On Monday, August 20, the usual monthly aale was held at the Hinds, About 3000 sheep and 10 head of cattle were yarded. The attendance was good, and buyers were spirited m their biddings, which gave a good tone to the market^ and owners' went home very well satisfied. There wou'd have been a much larger entry had it not been so near the lambing, which kept several lines back. I was pleased to notice the wonderful difference m the entry compared with the last three previous sales. lam sure these yards can hold their own against any others m Canterbury, and I will do my utmost to encourage buyers and •ellers" to attend these Bales. My entry comprised 1485 sheep, which I disposed of at the following prices, via:—A very nice line of 300 crossored hoggets lla 5d and 206 at lls id, 280 hoggets 8s 91, 200 merino ewes 3* lid. On. Tuesday, August 28, at the Ashbunon yards, a fair entry of shesp came forward. The attendance was average. All classes of sheep changed handß, and prices obtained were considered fair. A slight improvement was noticed m the f*t sheep, a!though only thirteen penß were monopolised. Some very fine heavy woolled first and second-cross hoggets were notice able, the prices obtained being from 8« Bd, 9a Bfl, 10s, to 12s 2d. la me/mo ewes, about 700 were yarded, but farmers and grazers are not keen on purchasing this claaß <-i stock. I sold a run out of one line at 8s 6d sound mouth ewe 3 due to lamb early.

The Walau Hotel Case.

At the Chrlstohureh Supreme Court yesterday, Richard John Whittle, of Waiau, hotelkeeper. sought an order pro hibiting the Ashley Licensing Committee from enforcing the conditions as to re newal of license of the Waiau hotel, compelling plaintiff to transfer his license to some other pemm within three months. Plaintiff m his affidavit stld he had bo notice of any objection to his application and had been affurded no opportunity of reply. His Honor said that section 79 of the Act of 1881 enable the Licensing Committee to vary the conditions under which accommodation licenses might b* granted but he thought that the clause could not on any reasonable oons'ruction he read as authorising the Committee to inflict a penalty on a license j or impose a condition inconsistent with the general provisions of the Act. In the present case the Committee without any notice i o applicant and without giving him an *d jiurnm>n kor opportunity to reply lnd imposed the condition complained of as to a renewal of 1 cause. It might be said plaintiff had obtained an advantaga by having escaped r,he charge o* misconduct, and possible refusal of hU licence, but he was not responsible for thab. The Com mittee had given a decision which by the Act was final without having heard him He was entitled to a he ring,' andit was no answer to say that the Ccmmitteti withou' shearing had inflicted am tigated penalty, and an order prohibiting the Com fiin.ee from enforcing the condition was granted.

The Licensing Bill.

Invercargill, August 28. At the Temperance Convention held here to day, the societies of the districts amalgamated m one Prohibition League. The public meeting m the Theafre was moderated attended. Resolutions were passed re the Licensing Bill before the House, to the effect that the proposed construction of the Committees is retro gressive, and demanding the continuance of eleoted Committees, with an electe' Chairman ; that majority of votes should determine the issues at the poll ; that *üb-e)ection 4, section 18, of the Alcoholic Liquors Act should be embodied m the pr< posed measure and that the old form | of V"ting paper under the one heading of publicans' licenses Bhould be resorted to. The other resolutions were similar to those passed further north.

The House of Lords.

IsONdOf, August 27 A mass meeting of Trade Unions and Radical Societies, to the number of 36,000, was held m Hyde Park. Resolutions were passed urging the Government to repair the omission to take action against the House of Lords and give a pledge to immediately abolish the Chamber of Peers. There were eleven platforms, and among the speakers were several M.P 's. Mr W. O'Brien said the treatment of the House of Commons by the other Cham ber was worse than it had undergone at the hands of the Stuart Kings. The Chronicle estimates that the attendance Numbered 60,000, but other papers give it as above that number.
