The weakest woman, smallest child, and sickest invalid, cap use Hop hitters with safety and great good. See.—JAJWT.] A other unfortunate.—Again we must draw the attention of our readers to the fact that a •mck of Clothing and General Dra,£2,424 ... • *- nf Dennis O’Connell, trapery, in the estate _ ’ ‘ u ’"-rh, now bankding in Lyttelton and Crisu...... '"*■»- of rupt, was purchased by H. E. Mav iS the Hal!, High street, for or only a little over one-third of its value. 11, E. M. and Co. are now selling it at half the marked price, which surely ought to seenre a speedy clearance. The Bad and Worthless

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 has been tested and proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press and the people of the country had expressed the merits of H. 8., and in • very way trying to induce suffering invalids to use their stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit ana K .„»d 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 1 they were the same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those with the word “Hop” or “HopS” in their name or in any way connected with them or their name, are imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none of them. Use nothing but genuine American Hop Bitters, with a bunch or cluster of green Hops on the white label, and Dr Soule’s name blown in the glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and chemists are warned against dealing in imita tions «■* counterfeits,

The Ashburton District School Committee will meet at 7 o’clock this evening. Residents on the Rangitata Island are happily situated in respect to County ra*es.

A cricket match will taka place to-mor-row between the Geraldine and Ashburton Cricket Clubs, Play will com ence at 11 a.m. on the ground of the latter. A meeting of the Winslow School Commiitee ’was held in the schoolroom, on Saturday last. Present—Mea rs Harris (Chairman), Lovett, Grace, Rainey, Cockle and Drenen. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read and confirmed, the usual business was transacted. It was proposed by Mr Lovett, seconded by Mr Grace Montgomery, \y. Williams and Booth be nominated to act on the Board of Education.” by Mr Grace and seconded by Mr Drenen, “ That Messrs Rainey, Cockle and Lovett act as a Visiting Oommittee for tho year 1885, and that they bring up a report of next meeting re the water supply for the school children." It was decided to hold the next meeting on *he first Saturday in Pebruary. A long sitting of the Resident Magistrate’s Court this morning was mainly occupied hearing a charge against Mr W. Bowse, of the Canterbury Hotel, Methven under the Licensing Act. The Bench expressed its regret, in view of the high character of Mr Rowae’s hotel, in being compelled to convict, and at tho request of the client’s solicitor, inflicted a fine auffinont to permit of an appea l . The following judgment was given in the Resident Magistrate’s Court this morning by Mr Baddeley, in the case Munroe v. claim L3O, the value of a horse alleged to have been poisoned through the negligence of the defendant. Mr Wilding for plaintiff, Mr Purnell for de fendant. Evidence was taken last Coart day;—This is an action brought by the bailee of a horse against a stranger for loss of the horse while in the bailee’s po-ses-sion. In this case there are two questions raised :—The first is, who is tho proper person to have brought the action, the bailee or the bai or ; and the second is, if the proper person has brought the action is he entitled to recover anything, an i, if so, what amount ? To my mind the bailee is the proper person to bring the action. Mayne on Damages, 3rd ed. p. 383, lays it down that where goods are taken from under the control of a bailee by a stranger he may sue in trover or trespass. His damage i against the stranger will be the entire value of the thing, because he is liable over to the owner, but in an action against the o wner he can only recover the amount of bis interest in it. Now this is clearly an act of trespass on the case, and defendant being a stranger his liability is not restricted to the value of the bailee’s interest, but he is liable to the full amount of damage, the bailee being liable to the bailer to that amount. The restriction has only reference to an action by the bailee against the owner, who resumes possession before right to possession is restored, and with regard to the defendant being liable to both bailee and bai'or it would be inconsistent with both law and justice that such should be the case ; and Addison on Torts, ed 5, p. 480 and 481, can only be taken to mean either bailee or owner. The bailee simply recovers the money to pay it over to the trustee, and the recovery by the bailee would oust the right of the bailor to recover. I think it is perhaps a fortunate thing that the action has been brought in the form it has, as now it cannot be said that there has been any collusion betwpen the bailee and h’B wife as to the price. Had the husband paid a large sum of money to the trustee, and then have come to the Court and sued for that sum, collusion might have been suspected. I cannot understand the trustee not taking action ; surely he should protect the property of the person whom he has undertaken a trust for. How he reconciles his action, or want of action, with having a due regard to his duties as trustee, it is for him to consider. 1 hold defendant to be liable in damages in this matter, and I assess the’amouut at L2O, and judgment will be entered up for that sum and costs. We are pleased to learn that Mr Baddeley’s appointment to the Akaroa Magistracy will not materially interfere with his other duties. He will only sit in Akaroa once a month.
