Bishop, •S.M., in the course of a judgment delivered in tho Magistrate's Court this morning.

He realised the impropriety of thes'o transactions, and, while the [iractice was prevalent all over the Dominion. Mr. Bishop said ho (lid not think it was carried on to tho fame extent anywhere else as in this district. Land agents naturally benefited from such a practice, but the agents in such cases should only receive what they were entitled"'to under the law. Mr. Bishop declared that lie would always discourage these transactions.
