Mr. M. J. Brookes, manager of the Dresden Piano Company, has arrived to conduct the company's annual sale of pianos and organs at the local dep6t, Devon-street. In the flour-milling case the Appeal Court held the Timaru Milling Company had no power under its articles of association to take shares in the Millers' Association, whose business was simply to fix prices and rule output; therefore it was unnecessary to decide whether there was an agreement against public policy. Costs were allowed the defendant company on the highest scale. Leave was granted to appeal to the Privy Council on terms to be fixed. Members of the Women's Ambulance Class are notified that the examinations will be held at Mrs. Dewling's residence, OourtenayI street, on Wednesday 6th, at 8 o'clock.
