Hutchison, to prevent any billiard table being in a hotel, was rejected on the voices. Mr W. Hutchison moved a new clause to prevent the employment of barmaids in hotels. Lost by 30 to 19. A new clause was proposed by Mr W. Hutchison, to prevent the sale or supply of .iquor to women. Ib was rejected by 35 to 12. Sir Robert Stout moved a new clause, making the bars of hotels, so far as selling alcoholic liquors to any persons not lodgers in the hotel or bona fide travellers, subject bo the provisions of the Shops and Shop Assistants Ac.. He said this would provide for a weekly half holiday for hotel employees. Mr Seddon said the clause, if passed, would be inoperative, and the law would be broken. Mr Eamshaw said this argument would apply to all other kinds of shops. Mr Seddon contended that this propo sition was only another effort to kill the BIU. Sir Robert Stout reminded the House thab when a similar clause was proposed in bhe Shops and Shop Assistants Bill Ministers said the proper place for it was in a Llo.nsing BiM. Mr W. Russell deprecated tha threats of the Premier thab the Bill waa being en dangered. Mr Seddon said he would not be re sponsible for the safe passage of the Biil if this clause were inserted. On a division the clause was carried by 23 to 20. Mr Seddon then moved that progress be reported. He said it was not fair to him to go on with the Bill when so many mem bers were absent. If there had been a fuller house the conclusion arrived at might have been different. This was agreed to aud bhe Bill was seb down for further consideration on Tuesday next, Mr Seddon stating ib would be necaspary to have that time to gee the amendments printed, and to consider their effect; In relation to the Bill.

ASHBURTON MARKETS.

Messrs Friedlander Bro3 (liimted) report upon the iive stock market for the week ending Wednesday, September 11, as follows:—-A yarding «f about 3500 sheep were sent forward for the Tinwald yards on Tuesday last, but taking the entry on the whole, we never saw a more inferior lot of Bheep, with so few exceptions of good lines penned at one yarding. This refers more especially to hoggets, which were a very poor lot indeed. Oae or two pens of fairly good hoggets sold exceptionally well at a jjisp of fully a shilling a head on last week's aales. B«f ers of good hoggets being on the market, the very few lots of fair sorts met with strong competition. There waa nothing of any special quality yarded, so we will therefore content ourselves with quoting prices realised. For sheep, only a few pens of medium merino wethers and halfbred light weights were yarded, barely sufficient to supply local trade, all of which were dis posed of at full market rates. In the butphers' pens crossbred mixed sexes sold at 10a 5d to lis lid, _»few heavy sheep realising 13s and 14s ; merino wethers, 9s to 9s 4d j hoggets sold at from 3. 9.1 to 6s lid for inferior sorts, and from 8a 8d to 9a lOd for fair sorts % crossbred ewes in lamb, 8s 4d to 10s 9d for mixed ages, and 10s 5d for a line of halfbred two-tootha. The small pens of forward sheep sold at 12s 6d to 12s lid. Our sales for the day were 11 merino ewes at 3a; 122 cull hoggets at 3s 6d % 103 at 6s 11; 117 crossbred ewes in lamb, mixed ages, 9s 2d ; 111 two tooth halfbred ewes in lamb, 10s 5d ; 274 three-quarterbred ewes, a portion in lamb, 10a 9d; besides several email lines at prices above quoted. In cattle there was a fair entry of medium qaality beef, which sold at full market rates. Store cattle—Only a small entry, which did not meet with strong competi tion, although good young storo cattle are enquired for. SpriUger. met with lair gale* •■ :

By Mr Purneil—asked defendant for tha money three times, tha last just before summoning him, and fix months before, and before that.—Mr Purneil regretted having to appear ia a case of this kind between two brothers. It was not disputed that in 1888 the £20 was borrowed. The other date, 1889, had been apparently fixed as it, was just within the Statute of Limitations, 'ihe second £20 was got under different circumstances. Defendant did not want it at the time. He kept it for about three month', and finally put it in his bank account, and plaintiff had had in all £13 5. returned to him as he had applied for it. With regard to the set off, defendant was a working man hiirself, and did not require to employ labcr. It was true plaintiff cut some fences, but he was not required to do it If thq interest was disallowed, £58 would remain, £20 of which was barred and there were set-off?) that would leave the balance in hia clien's favcr.— James Milne, defendant, said Ivs brother had been ten years on hia place Ha came their to work.

Pickering, plaintiff, said he let Feed to defendant at 8s per 100 sheep per week. When the sheep were taken off n April Lowe told him he must take hi* (Lowe's tally and wait for payment, ex cept £5, he would pay down. Defendant allowed there were over V7O sheep De fendant never disputed the account. Defendant was satisfied with the fences, and he never complained they were n ■ t as represented. Had never let grass before, and did not know if the parson letting was responsible for the condition of the fences Agreed to pay £1 10s trespass if Lowe settled promptly. Would not allow it now. Also allowed a week off the time if tbe accounb had been sett'ed six months ago. Had also received 2i 61 in cash, Was willing to make allowances rather than come into Court — J, All-'aon lived near Pickering's, The sheep came on to his land about a mile away Pickering's fences were good. Lowe told him he had lost nine sheep on the way after he had left Pickering's.— E. S. Lowe, defendant, said plaintiff had t'»ld him his fences were all new and sheep proof. Did not insppct the fences as plaintiff had guaranteed them good Went out in consequence of a report, and found only G6 sheep on _'ickering's, and the reit-?2_—on Mr Roberts', found a gateway had not been secured.

J secure. Took 400 sheep of Bonnington'f J to Pickering's for three or four dnys. Tooli | other sheep of Bonnington's there also. j Plaintiff said he would not want to be ra<d j till July 1. Did not tell plaintiff he owed I £17 on Bonnington's sheep. Owed about £4 for them. Still kept the sheep on Pickering's after they got out, because it had been an accident through the gate being lefb open, and the fences were good. Took the sheep away after they got through the gorse fence. Did not tell Allison that if helloss s the case he had not the money to pay. Said if they spent their money in law he would have none to pay with.—Mr Wilding denied the guarantee, and said Lowe had every opportunity bo examine the fences on several occasions and need not have left them —Judgment was given for plaintiff for £7 12s 4d.
