Several lawpoints were . raised, and his Hppor has expressed his opinion that if the verdict,should be against Tyrell, the ' offence does not call l for severer punishpient than a fine, and the Crown Prosecutor concurred-. The 1 ! murder case will not commence- before 1 0 -Monday. - We take the following from theJsuPo i ‘ I TI pean Mail: —“ Australian and New Zealand graziers who expect to do a large business in the future ia the frozen meat trade will be interested to learn that the Corporation of the Oity’ bf London have resolved to hold an inquiry into the o--J meat supply upon the same linos- as that on fish about two years ago. The. question oFthe supplies from our colonies will '/ be fully discussed. Meanwhile, it is sat- , ‘ isfadtbry“to note' that the sMpioiehfs arrive here in good condition are more and more sought after by the Londonbut-"

chers. The carcases of mutton by the Europa have met a ready .sale at about 7£d par lb wholesale. The . quality of the bulk of this consignment is cel lent, the mutton being thick-fleshed, " small - boned, and of saleable weight. ‘The public can now buy it from' several butchers in London on its merits as frozen meat. If the quality i« main-..,, 7 tainel on the level of that of the Kurops’s' cargo, frozen mutton will, eoonfdrm.,aa, , . important feature of our meat supply. Some frozen carca-es of Australian lamb, , ex Chimborazo, have made B£d to 9d per - lb. wholesale. The arrival of the Lady Jocelyn is eagerly looked forward to. We understand that there are no fewer than .6,000 carcases of mutton and 150 carcases of beef on board ; and if the meat is at all on a par with previous shipments from - . New Zealand, the Wellington Meat 'Bz- . port Company ought to net a considerableamount by the consignment. ” A meeting was held recently in Mel-'-bourne for the purpose of taking mea-., sures to establish a national association of wine-growers and merchants, for the pur- J pose of advancing the wine interest of /' the colony. Dr L. L. Smith, the eon* vener of the meeting, occupied the ohau% and explained that the wine industry of the colony was rapidly becoming of paramount importance, and in-a fewyaax«.-it.-. was pro oable that Australian vineyards would be the only ones in the world qnblighted by the phylloxera vastatrix. It was.therefore necessary to bring the vignb- . robs together, so that by an interchange /■ of' experience, ideas, -and those little secrets by which the best wines produced might be taken advantage oTto pro- , duce a standard Victorian wine thathronld L 1 ‘ obtain a ready market all over theworld. • He pointed out that there were 1040 vinogrowers in the colony who had nearly . 6,000 acres under cultivation, and as the T industry was an all-important one, a sabsidy might be obtained from the Govern- f ment to assist in maintaining an association which would embrace a wine hall smd ,; < a school of vino culture. ft vfaia' 'sgreW’.'X to form an association under' the ,title 'of,. the Victorian Wine-growers- ‘ on the understanding that wine and others identified with" t|»e' Interest/ should be admitted to the Association .... honorary members. • " "' "■ *’
