MAGISTERIAL.

RAKAIA—FRIDAY. (Before Mr C. A, Wray, S.M.) Protection Order.—Foley v. Foley. This was an application by the wife of the defendant for an order protecting her earn ings, and for the custody of her children Mr Cuthbertson appeared for the informant, and Mr Purnell tor the defendant. After hearing the evidence of the parties and Father ODonnell, his Worship dismissed the information, remarking that both per sons were to blame and advised them to en deavor to settle the matter out of court. Civil Cases.—MoGrory y Petrie, £14. Mr Purnell for plaintiff, Mr Cuthbertson for defendant. This was an action for the re covery of the sum of £14, the price of a grey gelding sold by the plaintiff to the defen dant. Evidence was called by Mr Purnell on behalf of the plaintiff to show that the hone in question had been sold to the de fendant subject to a day's trial, and that after keeping the animal nearly a week the defendant returned him, alleging that he was not suitable for the work and was un sound. In cross-examination by Mr Cuth bertson, the plaintiff admitted that a week's trial had been mentioned, but alleged that the defendant had decided that he would not lequire so long a trial. The defence was that the horse had been purchased as sound and subject to a week's trial, and on being tried he was found to be unsound and unfit for the work for which he was purchased. After hearing the evidence of the defendant and several witnesses, and counsel having addressed the Court, the Magistrate held that the horse had been sold subject to a week's trial, and that the defendant was act ing within his rights in returning him within that time. Judgment accordingly for defen dant, with costs £1 9s.

OBITUARY.

Jir Smhm Moor* Tweed,

It is with regret we have to chronicle thedeaih of Dr John Moore Tweed, of Ashburton, which took place at his resi dence at noon on Sunday. Deceased, although a hale, hearty, athletic looking man, whose spendid physique, was Huch that the ordinary observer would have taken a long lease of his life, bad really been ailing for many months. In the early part of last winter he had a bad •attack of influenza and ought really to have done no work that took him away from home nntil he had sofficiently re dovered to face the fatigue and exposure of long journey* in bad weather. But Dr Tweed wa* ever loyal to his patients, *ndno matter what his own condition, nor whether the visit he had to make was early or late, far or near, in b«l, rain, enow, or shine, he was reaiy. Thug he never allowed himself a fair chance to folly recover, and the affection hung to him thoughout the winter, and those who knew him were aware that a bad cough, of which he made light, still clung to him. Od Thursday last he seemed father better than usual, and was in high spirits. He attended the Flower Show in the afternoon with the Kindergarten children, in which school he took a keen interest, and was at the show again in the | wening till its close, still apparent'y in Ilia usual health. On Friday, however, he folk far from well, and not getting j better tbe other medical men in town were called in They found that his lungs were badly affected, and the patient gradually sank, and in spite of the best efforts thac medical tklli could put forth in his behalf, he died at noon on Sunday M has been stated. The news spread like wildfire, and within an hour after his death there was not a home in the town ignorant of the fact, and quite a gloom was cast over the community. Dr Tweed nra« only thirty-seven yearn of age. He w«b*native ot Coieraine, in Londonderry, Ireland, and received his medical educa tion in Edinburgh, beine a licentiate of the BoyalCollegethere (1880). He wentas surgeon on seve»l of the larger passenger ships till 1886, making pretty nearly a voyage round the world. In 1886 he took up the practice in Aehburton carried on by Dr Ross, who was then leaving for America, and shortly afterwards Dr Tweed was married. During his residence among us he was popular everywhere He was open-handed in his hospitality, eau»lly so in his charity, and there are many homes in which he will be as much missed perhaps as the bread-wumer would be. Much sympathy is felt f<fr Mrs Tweed and her three little ones, and doubtless the funeral afc three o'clock to* jnortow will be very largely attended, j

European and Other Foreign Items

London. Feruwy 22 A. young man nimed Tasker, who has just come into a fortune of £700,000, is suing Messrs Streeter and Co., the well-known jewellers, for £17,000 worth of jewellery bought and not delivered. During the hearing it came out that Tasker had purchased articles to the value of £87,000 in a few weeks. London. February 24 Tasker's purchases included the famous Agra diamond, for which he gave £15,000, and seven others, the cost of which was £30,000. He also gave £30,000 for the Hope diamond. Streeter and Co. deny that certain of the purchases claimed by Tasker were ever made. The Clan-ta-Gael Society threatens to institute a policy of dynamite out rage against the Irish members, alleging that they have been guilty of treachery, bo the cause. It is believed the Government will re-enact the thirteenth clause of the [rish Land Bill of .1891, introducing; the voluntary principle between the landlord and the evicted tenant. This surrender it is considered will ensure the pastage of the Bill. In reply to a question in the House of Commons, Sir E. Grey said England had no right to notify the termination of the special clauses hindering pre ferential treaties with various parts of the British Empire without the abro gation of the entire treaties. Hence no notice had been given to the Great

Powers. February 24 The Prince of Wales has gone to the Riviera district for the sake of his health. He is suffering from the effects of a severe chill. Pabis, February 23 The Marquis of Dufferin, addressing the British Chamber of Commerce in Paris, said the relations between England and France were never more friendly than they were at the present time. There was no reason for any body to quarrel about. Africa, which he considered a doubtful commercial El Dorado. St Petersburg, February 22 Serious students' riots took place in the city last night, being the outcome of exclusion from a favorite restaurant after the College festival. Many per sons were injured, and a large number of arrests were effected.

MORTALITY AMONGST SHEEP

Sydney, February 23

There is great mortality amongst the sheep in the southern districts from a disease which has completely puzzled experts. It attacks only the best and fattest animals, and never those which are thin and suffering from other diseases. The outbreak is confined to the low-lying pastures. The Gov ernment veterinary surgeon, who has made an exhaustive investigation, believes that the disease is due to various forms of bacilli bred in the swampy grounds, and recommends that strict precautions be taken to prevent its spread.

A TREACHEROUS ATTACK

Capetown, February 24. Hostile natives, under the guise of being friendly, penetrated the Portu guese lines at Lorenzo Marquez, on the north side of Delagoa Bay. An attack was made at night, and resulted in the loss of fifty men on the Portuguese side. The fatalities would have been very much heavier but for the gallantry of a lieutenant who, though transfixed by an assegai, gave the alarm and enabled the men to make some sort of defence.

BILLIARDS

London, February 24 A billiard match, in which a good deal of interest was taken, was finished yesterday, Roberts gave Mitchell 9000 out of 24,000, and after an exciting finish beat him by the narrow margin of thirty-one.

KYdnky. F hrnary 25

Mr White, one of thosd <vho re turned from Kew Australia, in the

corrie of an interview said the scheme «ras the grossest and most cruel case of deliberately misleading the people ever exposed Utterly unfounded charges of drunkenness were made by the leader, Lane, against four of the men who seemed to have given offence to him by studying the language of the' country. White was ordered by Lane to search for these men and assistin expell ing them from thesettlement He alleges that on refusing to do so Lane drew a revolver and threatened to shoot him. Quarrels were of every day occu«*ence because of the airs assumed by Lane, Money, Casey and a few others who supported him. On being told that Casey was still organising fresh batches j of emigrants White was astounded. \ He said f I think it is a great shame Government allow the thing to go on. Casey knows the- true state of affairs over there as well as I do.'

The Wires and the Floods

Adelaide, February 25 With a view to guarding against interruptions on the overland line, taller poles are being erected over the Warrina and\Peake creeks to carry the wires aboveythe floodjwaters.
