The irritation was at times almost unbearable. I tried almost every remedy known and was treated by a doctor, but all to no purpose, and I began to think I should never get relief from my constant suffering. One day 1 heard of Doan's Ointment, and it was recommended so highly that i sent for some. This wonderful preparation a I laved the irritation after a few ap|...cations, and by the time I had used one pot I was completely relieved. I shall always speak well of Doan's Ointment and trust many sufferers will benefit by my experience." iS'o one who has not felt the torture of Eczema, can for a moment imagine the marvellous sense of relief that follows the use of Doan's Ointment.

APi'LICATION FOR AX ORDER. Lily Holmes (Mr P. Thomson) applied for a proliibitiou order in respect ; . lier husband, William Holmes (Mr !! ii Jierfurd). Sergeant Dale said Holmes was a drover and was continually about the streets bid he could not say lie drank to excess. The Magistrate said in cases like the present ho always had a leaning to allow time, so he would adjourn the case till June 16. BREACH OF STAMP ACT. H. Mowbray pleaded not guilty to a breach of the Stamp Act, in that he affixed a used postage stamp to a letter. M. P. Anderson, a telegraphist in the Post Office at Stratford, said he cleared the post office box on 25vh March last and took the letter (produced in Court and addressed to liawera) to the acting postmaster. Thomas Parcel said the previous witness had given him the letter, which he enclosed in an official envelope addressed to the postmaster at Hawera asking him to deliver it to the address and find out the name of the sender.

The letter, which was responsible for tbe proceedings, was produced in Court, and Mowbray identified it as being one written by his wife, and signed with his name. The Magistrate suggested that the case should be adjourned and that tbe wife should also be charged in conjunction with Mowbray.

Constable Robertson said be served the summons on defendant, and he (defendant) told him that he had no stamps in bis possession, but had purchased the stamps to put on the letter at the Stratford Post Office. Defendant, on oath, said be did not write the letter. It was in the handwriting of his wife, as also was the envelope. He knew. nothing of the stamps. He was not positive that he posted the letter or would he deny that he had posted it. Li answer to Sergt. Dale, Mowbray said he believed that he told the Constable that he had purchased the stamps and posted the letter. The Magistrate said he would adjourn the case. He would sooner settle the case at once, but if Mowbray would not plead guilty he had no other course than to adjourn it till June 16, in the meantime the police to lay an information against the wife. Mowbray said he wished he had brought his wife with him to give evidence, and under the circumstances bis conscience would not let him plead guilty. DRINKING AND NON-MAINTEN-ANCE.
