SUNDAY TRAFFIC IN DRINK

Cbargos Against Hotellteepers.

Considerable interest was manifested by a largo number of city hotolkeepers in the Polico Court to-day, who were present to hear checharges laid against seven publicans, on the information of Sergeant Donnelly, severally charged with supplying liquors at their respective hotels during tho prohibited hours on Sunday, the 14th inst, Tho cases were taken before Messrs Clayton and Lusk, j P.'a—Hubort Oram was charged with a breach of the Licensing Act, ISBI, by selling liquor to Samuel Shaw and to Wm. Rodford respectively, at Ornm's Hotel, on Sunday, tho Hth inst.—Mi- Hoskoth appeared in do fenco, and said that tho error was committed by.Mr Oram'a barman, who was a B\vi:.s, and hud but recently boon in Mr Orum'.? employ. Tho barmen expressed lisa re^vot, but was noi awaro that law* wore different in Auckland from thoae of Berne. Hi>

(Mr Hesket'O was not desirous of uispnthif; the facts Tho barman did, in ignorance, supply the beer in Mr Oram'a temporary absence.—Sergeant Donnelly and Constable O'Brien deposed to seeing two men named Shaw and Redford, one of whom waa drink ing from a pewter pint moasure and tho other from a long glass.—Samuel Shaw deposed that he lived about five chains from the hotel. Had not been a traveller for many years. Knew he had some beor, but in respect of payment ho was at sea. He was muddled over night.—Mr Hoskoth said he would admit that both men had beer and both paid. He then ad dressed the Bench on several points of law, and submitted that there was no sale made by Mr Orara, but by the barman, in the absence of the proprietor.—FitzFarnio, barman, arrived in Auckland on tho 14th November, and Sunday, tho 14th we.a his firat Sunday <w barman". l!p was cleaning tho bar whan tho three man carno in. Ho served them with beer in ignorance of tho 'law, and whon lie saw tho policemen with their little book* and-pencils, ho waawsw alnnuod, and told MV Omni, who wiid. " JTitei you should not have done tliis." Mr Omm made a stutement, but know nothing personally of the sale. He told the barman to toll tho whole truth. Had kopt the 'hotel for 10i years. — The Bench retired to consider their decision. The Bench carefully considered the evi dence, and, without comment, dismissed the case.—Joseph Caffery, licensee of Auckland Hotel, was charged with supplying liquor to George Cook and another at his hotel on the 14th Tnst.—Sergeant Pratt opened the case for the prosecution.—Mr Cotter, for defend ant, pleaded not guilty.—Sergeant Donnelly deposed that on the day in question he entered the High-street part of the premises and saw Cook drinking beer; also another man named Lendrum.—Mr Glover was attending to them. He took their names. The men cleared at once.—By Mr Cotter: Could not swear that Mr Glover was a partner.—Constable Lamb gave similar evidence. He knew the persons, who were in' a room at the back of tho bar. Saw Mr Glover snatch one glass, and its-contents went up to the ceiling.— There was a general rush into the street. Mr Caffery came inimmediately after them. —By Mr Cotter: Mr Glover did not say the beer belonged to McGregor. There was a fearful rnah, and the gas was out in less than a minute. Ho recog nised Donharn. a svrveyor, among tho crowt!.—George Cook, cab proprietor, de posed that he was in the room, but had no beer, nor did he see any supplied. The Sergeant caught a glass out of his hand, but found it empty. The Sergeant put his nose into it and fancie 1 he smelt beer. He went down on Sunday evening to see Mr Glover on private busi ness.—Ueorge Lendrum deposed that he went to see a boarder upon money matters, »nd he left a note for the gentlemen. Did not have any beer.. Sergeant Donnelly made a mistake when he said a glass was snatched from his hand and the con tents flew over the ceiling.—By Mr Cotter: Had no liquor there that night. Mr Cotter said thero was really nothing to answer. There was no evidence of an in fringement of the Act.—The Bench dis missed the case.

David Dunningham, licensee of the Governor Browne Hotel, was charged with supplying liquor to Bavid Grubb, baker, on Sunday, the 14th inst., he not being a lion a fide traveller. —Mr Cotter pleaded not guilty. — Sergeant Pratt opened the -case.—Sergeant Donnelly deposed that he. went into the hotel and found a porson drinking beer at the table at the back of the bar. Ho gave his name aa David Grubb, Earangahapo Road. (Left Bitting.)

One of the few ammoniaphones that hare yet reached New Zealand has been for warded to Mr H. Brett.- This curious in vention, which is intended to transmit Italian air into the lungs, and give every one who uses it an Italian voice, is of much interest to the musical world. For nearly thirty years has Dr. Moffat, the inventor, experimented on all 'kinds of chemical materials to improve both the speaking and singing voice. Even when a boy, he thought that Italian air must be the cause of the beauty of Italian voices, and us he grew up and became a professor of chemistry he made the subject his constant study, and never ceased his experiments on himself. Ten years ago he went to Italy, where he grew more than ever persuaded that Italian air made Italian voices. He analysed this air, "and discovered in it certain chemical compounds not previously known. On his return to Scotland, he at once set about to produce an artificial air' exactly like the natural air of Italy. He then became so >fjril of .his invention that he resigned his professor's chair in Glasgow, and retired to work on a country farm, which he fitted up as a laboratory, and where he worked ■for nine years, sacrificing money, position, everything to his invention, which, in the opinion of scientific men, is destined to im prove the tone, power, and range of the human voice, whether for speaking or sing ing. The medical- press, strange to say, does not oppose the ammoniaphone, but wishes all kinds of success to it and to its inventor. According to Dr. Moffat, a weakened voice is restored to youthful freshness after a few weeks' use of the am rnoninpkono. Musical instruments may also be improved, he says, by being steeped in the compound used in the ammonia phone.

Those intending to be present at the Christmas breakfast in the Y.M.O.A. RoOms should procure tickecs before to-morrow after noon. Addresses will bo delivered by Revs. w. K. Rice. R. Bavin and J. S. Bell, and suitable hymns will be sung by the Evangelistic Choir.

The Mends of the Hospital chair mission for invalids acknowledge with thanks a chair with brass castors, presented by Mrs Thomas Mac&arlane, for the use of an aged inmate of the Old People's Refuge; also to Mr Robert CranweU for a chair of a similar kind, presented to Mra Gunn ot the same institution.

The Bad and Wordless.

are never imitated or counterfeited. This Is especially true of a family medicine, and it is positive proof that the remedy imitated Is of the highest value. As soon as it had been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable family medipine on eaith, many imitations sprung up, and began to steal th^, notices In which the Press and the people o! the country had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in every way trying to Induce Buffering Invalids to use their stufl instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. 8., with variously devised names, in which the word " Hop! or "Hops".were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bitten. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially thoße with the word "Hop' or "Hops " In their name, or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations oi counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none ot them. Use nothing out genuine Aiuorican Hop Bitters, with a bunch or clustor of green Hops on the white label, and Dr. Soula's uataa blown in the glass. Trust nothing else. Drugirists and-Cliemista are warned againut dealing in imitations or couaterfeita .

A Wise Deacon.—"Deacon Wilder, I want you to tell me how you kept yourself and family co well tho past season, wjien all tho rest of us have been aick 30 much, «,nd have had tlio doc torg running to us so often." "Brother Taylor, the answer is very easy. I used Hop Bitters in time, and kept my family well, aad saved large doctor's bills. Four shillings' worth of it kept na all well and able to work all the time,,andl will warrant it has cost you and most of the neighbours £10 to £100 apiece to keep sick the same time. I fancy you'll take my medicine Ireafter. See. ;/.,•; v,v .■", .: :.'.» •. ~..
