(Received July 20, 2.30 p.m.) Sydney, July 20. Lees' confession states that Mackay murdered the man who caught hold of the third man who was with them named. Campbell or Johnston, and ■when the alarm was raised he refused to release him, and Lee then leaned over the counter and shot Mackay. The Barraba murderers were exe cuted at Tamworth to-day. Lee walked to the scaffold and was ap parently indifferent to the fate that awaited him. Cummins, however, was in a fainting condition, and had to be wheeled there. This was largely due to the fact that he had attempted suicide early in the morning by open ing a vein in his arm with a piece of a penknife, which he had succeeded in secreting ever since his arrest. The deed was only discovered in time to prevent death. Both men died with out a struggle.

DISTRICT COURT.

ASHBURTON -FRIDAY.

(Before His Honor Judge Ward.) IN BANKRUPTCY. Orders for discharges were made unop posed in the cases of Thomas MoGrandell Jamea Quigley, Henry David JohnstoD, Mr Outhbertson appeared for bankrupt) in each case. FMEDLANDBR BROS V. DAVID THOMAS. This was a claim for £30 made bj i Friedlander Broa for a reaper and bindei under terms of » registered bill of sale, held by them. The machine was in th( possession of David Thomas, he claiming it. in accordance with a previous agree menfc which he contended proved hit ownership until the machine was paid foi by Qnigley. Mr Purnell for plaintiffs, Mr Wilding for defendant. James Quigley, farmer, Dromore, said that in August 1893 he agreed with Mt Quane, representative of the Massey, Harris Company to have a reaper and binder sent to him. He Bigned a docu ment (produced) at the time. Had never paid a penny on the machine to Mr Thomas, or to the Massey, Harris Ocm >pany. Subsequently had a conversation with Quane and Thomas, and made ar* rangements with Mr Thomas for payment for the machine, and then had no claim from the Company. In giving Fried landers Bros particulars of his bill of sale to Mr Rudolph Friedlandr, Mr Rudolph came to see the things before executing the bill of sale. He took a list from witness 1 dictation. Witness said to Mr Rudolph Friedland«r oh passing the machine—" That is not to be in the bill of sale. I've not paid a penny on it, and it belongs to Mr Thomas." This *vas about May 4. Mr Hugo Friedlander read the bill of sale to him, but he stopped him saying he knew what was in it, so that he needn't bother to read it through . Would not have signed the bill of sale had he known the machine was included, Mr Thomas some time after asked him for some £20 for a bill due for the reaper. Mr Thomas agreed to allow him (witness) to give the machine for security if he got the money from them. Witness went to Friedlander Broa and asked them for £20. agreeing to have the machine in cluded in the bill of sale. Came back and told Mr Thomas that he couldn't get it.' Then gave Mr Thomas a bill for £30,' which he did not meet when due. First learned that the reaper was included in the bill of sale about the time Thomas: took possession of it. Cross-examined by Mr Purnell—lt was Mr Quane to whom he signed the document. Never signed any security in the name of Mr Thomas. A short time ago made a statement to Mr Hugo Friedlander, which witness signed. Did not know of any real assignment of the machine. Asked Friedlander for £380, and offered to give as security the whole of his farm stock. The reaper and binder was never read to him. Was quite : sure it was Mr Huso Friedlander. Was not positive Mr Moritz Friedlander did not read it to him.

David Thomas, auctioneer.—Was the agent for the Massey, Harris Company, and under arrangement with that Com pany guaranteed payment of; Quigley's machine. Had yearly settlements with the Company, and for this machine had paid the Company, The bailment note signed by Quigley in ordering the machine went to Dunedin to the Company, and they held it for witness. Quane was leaving his service in 1893, and iv getting set tlement for all machines at the time took a bill from Quigley. Quigley had told him fifty times that the machine was his (witness') and secured. At the time Quigley's £20 was due, as Quigley was raising money from FriecHander Bros told him to get the £20 as well, he (witness) agreeing to let the machine be security. Quigley didn't get the money. About eight days after he seized the machine was first aware of Friedlander's security. The giving of such bailment notes by farmers in the purchase of reapers was very common. When he took thß first bills from Quigley the arrangement was that witness was to be cwner until the bills were paid. The value of the machinea new were £42. After two seasons' work they were worth from £15 to £20, harvest value. Moritz Priedlander said he witnessed Qaigley's signature to the bill of sale. Read over the schedule. No objection was made to the reaper and binder being included. Ho one else was present. Quigley stopped him from reading it through, but witness insisted on reading ifc.

Hugo Priedlander said he saw Quigley in April, 1893. He wanted to borrow £400, and gave as security a second mortgage on his land and the bill over his stock. Witness 1 brother went out and made a list with valuation. Went over the list with Quigley, and no objection was made to the reaper being included. First time heard anything about Thomas's claim was when the machine was seized. Later on made a re-valuation of the stock. Qaigley then mad 3no objection to the reaper and binder included. Rudolpn Friedlander valued the goods at the farm 1893. Qui^ley pointed the machine out as his property. Quigley's statement in Court with reference to having said the reaper was Thomas's was tintrue, Had gone a second time to value and nothing was said about the reaper. Subsequently Quigley saw him in the street and said '* Oh, Thomas has taken that reaper and binder." Witness said "How can he ? its in our bill of sale; I'll see about it." Mr Wilding submitted that, inde pendent of the bailment note, the machine was never Quigley's, and never could be by that note until the promissory notes were paid, This he contended was also the case according to Quigley's verbal arrangement with Mr Thomas. His Honor, in giving his decision, said the case did not present any very great difficulty. Ac regarded the question of notice, the evidence of Rudolph Fried lander was exactly against that of Qaigley, but they had the further fact that the bill of sale was signed by Quigley, read over to him, and corrected by himself, and he had every possible opportunity of reading it, and seeing that the reaper and binder was in the schedule. That dealt with the question of notice. Then came the ques tion as to what was the real agreement between the parties in the 6rst place. It seemed to him that the first document must be read as a bill of sale, an un registered one. The only other point was whether or not there was any further contract by Mr Thomas paying for the machine. It seemed to him that Mr Thomas simply stepped into the position held by the company before, and was theretore liable for the same securities. As to th.3 contention of a verbal arrange ment, that would be to give a verbal bill of sale precedence over a written one. He waa not prepared to do that and judg ment would be for plaintiff for £20 with coats^ _.. __ On Mr Wilding's application His Honor ordered that execution should not issue for one month in order to give time to appeal. ___________

(ADVERTISEMENT). To the Editor of Ashburton Mail and Guardian. Blß,_Will you allow me through your valuable columns, to answer the many enquiries as to the time for giving horses Waiker's Bot-fly Remedies, as horses have been lost at all times of the ' year but more especially from harvest on , to November. The best time to secure the horse in safety is to drench any time after harvest. For instunce, a good many horses have died just now, that if they had been drenched in time would have been hardy and well. Mr T. 0. Gorman, Southbridge, loot a splendid mare a, few weeks ago, looking hearty and well: but took bad In the plough, was taken out and died the next day in awful agony. The stomach, when opened, was found quite like a riddle with the contents outside the ! stomach and the rest of the stomach covered with bofrs. Mr Fairweather lost a valuable carriage horse 26th May last, at Amberley, the stomach all eaten through, leaving no doubt as to thebots causing death. Mr Sanderie, contractor, Leeston, lost a splendid horse three weeks ago, this being tha fourth he has lost. Like many, he got an' idea that hots did no harm, but he assured me that che sight of this stomach quite convinced him to^ the contrary, and that he would use Walker's *ot-i?i.y Remedies in future. Miss Button, Peel Forest, lam informed, lost her valuable hunter the other day and when dissected, the stomach was also found eaten through, satisfying all that the bote alone caused death. So that from thi» on, cases will be numerous as was last two years unless horses are at once drenched, Owners therefore, that wish to make certain of saving their horses should lose no time in drenching. I am certain had those horses that died been drenched in time every horae would have been hearty and welL I guarantee a certain cure if the horse is drenched in time and as directed.
