ASHBURION—THURSDAY.

(Before Mr 0. A. Wray, S.M.) Civil Case.—Johnston v. Brown, £4 10s. Mr Uuthbertaon for plaintiff, Mr Purnell for defendant. The claim was for nursing services rendered to defendant's deceased wife m her last illness. Plaintiff m evidenca said she was engaged by the late Mrs Brown to nurae her m her last illness. Mrs Brown was then living at her daughter's »t Tinwald, and plaintiff nursed defendant's wife for three weeks, Her charge waß 30* a week. Brown was not living there, but called occasionally and attended the funeral. Waß not engaged by Brown. By Mr Purnell— Was a distant relation by marriage of Mrs Brown, witness' daughter being'the wife of Mrs Brown's son by a former husband. Was aot aware that Brown and his wife were not living together,, but was "aware that Mrs Brown had summoned her huaband for maintenance. Did not go to make up a feud of some standing between witness and Mrs Brown before she died. Was not a pro fessional nurse, but would be so if she could gets enough of it to make a living. Miss Bennett, Mrs Brown's daughter, said she would be paid, but on asking Brown for payment, he said he , would not pay her a d— cent. Waa s'enb for from a neighbor's, and agreed to go to Mrs Brown's as soon as she could leave the neighbor.—Dr Bolger gave evidence as to the services rendered by Mrs Johnston. He had attended Mrs Brown m her last illness. It was at his recom mendation a nurse was obtained, and Mrs Johnston was got. She was quite competent to nurse Mrs Brown, and he saw her there towards her last illness, but could not say how long.—William Brown, defendant, said he was a farmer living at Wakanui. His wife left his home about twelve months before she died. She left against his will. He was quite willing to support her if she would have stayed. After she left and refused to come back he advertised that he would not be responsible for her debts. Mrs Johnston knew they were not living together, and when the maintenance case came on, Mrs ' Johnston offered to give evidence on his side, She had been for a long time on bad terms with his wife. His wife's family had been left money, and Alice Bennett, her daughter, waa m a position to pay for her mother's nursing, and as a matter of fact gave plaintiff 30s. Mrs Brown earned money herself, and was really independent of witness.—His Worship said he would give judgment next Court day.

VANCOUVER MAIL SERVICE.

United Press Association—Jßy Eleotri^ Telegragh--Oopynght

Beisbane, February 15 Messrs HudcUrt, Parker and Co. have again approached the Government with a view to arranging for the Canadian mail liners to call at Bris bane. The company considers the round trip, via New Zealand, occupies too much time, three days more than it would via Brisbane^, N,o.w that the company baa th.ues instead of two, and 'is, likely soon to have a loijrth, it asks for a subsidy of £7500 per annum intead of the £5000 asked tor when only two vessels were running. The Government is disposed to view the offer favorably. The Hon. J. S. Larke, agent for the Canadian Government^ arrives m Brisbane tonight to discuss the matter. It is considered probable that ■within a few weeks a contract will be signed making Brisbane the first port of"call, and the last port of departure.

Thousands ot wretched creatures, whose lives have become forfeited to the outraged laws of their country, have heard them pronounced with fee ingd of sickening terror. The man who has neglected the most simple laws of health feels that all v indeed lost, when the dread sentence is pronounced by the doctor, who has used all hts medical skill upon him, m vain. In the latter cisc, however, the 1 door of hope has been opened, through the medium of Holloway's Pilla and Ointment.
