Mr. V M. Meredith, Crown Prosecutor, said that accimed had "boon placed on probation on NoTomper 7, 1016, in connection with a conviction for forccry, the- conditions of his order Tcijuiring him to abstain from taking intoxicating liouor nucl from ontorinpr hotels. Tho polico evidencD wns to tho effect that the prisoner had recently been drinking and had persisted in j<.*injc so after being warned by tho probation officer. His Honour said he would ttivo accused another chance. Ho would extend tho letter's term of probation for a further period of 18 months, and him to pn? 30s. towards the expenses incurred by tho Crown in bringing the charge. A PARTNERSHIP MATTER. . A friendly snit taken at tho suggestion of the' Public Trustee to wind up ft- partnership was heard by His Honour. The plaintiff wns Hamilton Oilmer and the defendant the Public Trustee, as executor in the estnte of Allan Maguire (deceased). Mr. .T. ]".. Stout nnnenred for the plaintiff and Mr. E. P. Hay for tho defendant. . ■ Mr. S'tout snid that there was only one matter in dispute, and that concern-1 ed what: was known to the parties as the Stout Street section. When that property had been sold. Magiiire hnd received half the proceeds, but it wns contended for the plaintiff thnt the letter had paid the irholo of the purchase money, and that the Mapuire Esf-itp nwpd half that amount to the plaintiff. The defence would contend that because Maguire received half tho proceeds it was to be inferred that he paid half the purchase money. It was suggested, however, that tho investiVntions of the ncconntnnte clenrly established f.ho plaintiff's clnim. . • ■ Mr. Hay rontendod that tlio imperfect records at -the disposal of the acconnt•■"lts did not warrant tho inference thnt Maguire's hnlf share, hnd not been paid. It was to bo nresumed, he continued, th"t the share had been paid. His Honour reserved his decision. CHARGE 01? ARSON. By Telegraph—Press Association. Dunedin, February 19.

BEAUTY WITHOUT ROUGE, CREAM, ... OR POWDER. A PARISIAN COMPLEXION SECRET. Contrary to tho usual belief, the most beautiful French ladies rarely use rouge, or creams or nowders containing bismuth or caustic alkali, claiming, and with very good reason, that sucli preparations not only givo a made-up appearance, but ultimately ruin the complexion. When asked what they use to preserve and. enhance their beauty, they invariably give the credit to tho regular use otf an inexpensive lotion (obtainable of any good chomist) prepared by mixing 2on. Bose Water with 2oz. "Flowors of Oxzoin and 1 dram Tiucture of Benzoin. Apply every night and morninpt .with a soft cloth or sponge. It quickly tones up the dullest skin and gives a fresh rosebloom complexion, such as is usually seen onlv in youth. Although nothing hns yet been found which' completely removes deep wrinkles, this makes them far less anparent, and . a lady using it regularly is certain never to have a badly-wrinkled face.—Advt.
