The case was got up by the Police. A detective was employed as informer to carry stone to the defendant, w r ho neglected to make the requisite entry in the register book, hence the prosecution. The Magistrate commented severely on the action of the Police in entrapping a man into the commission of a crime. The inhabitants of the Cromwell district are sometimes puzzled to know which is the best and cheapest establishment to purchase their supplies of drapery and clothing at. They should no longer remain in doubt on that score. If they will only pay one visit to W. Talkovs’ London House, they will discover for themselves that it. is not only the cheapest hut the best store at which to deal for these articles. Mr Talboys has made arrangements to import his stock direct from the Home markets, and the public can rest assured that everything will be sold by him at an advance only sufficient to repay the original cost, and return a fair percentage on the outlay. Every article in Mr Talboys’ establishment ‘is marked in plain figures, from which no abatement is ever made. A fuller description or the stock will he found in advertisement ia anotfler column.--['A pvt. ]
