Creditors Meeting.—At an adjourned meeting of Byrne Bayley's creditors held in Timaru on Wednesday, Mr Knubley, on behalf of the bankrupt, made an offer to pay £2OO cash down instead of £3OO spread over five years. The sum was not, Mr Montgomery stated, guaranteed, but Mr Knubley's instructions were to offer it. There were present Messrs Mundell, Hawkins, White, and Raymond, as creditors or representing creditors, and after a conversational discussion as to whether the offer was genuine or not, it was agreed on the motion of Mr Raymond, seconded by Mr Hawkins informed that his clients' offer of £2OO be accepted in full release and satisfaction of the creditors' claims, and that a memorial of the judgment be sent to the Bank of New South Wales, London, with the discharge to be acted upon in the event of the bankrupt's offer not being carried out; in the event of the offer being carried out the bankrupt's discharge notto be opposed." The meeting then closed. Land Bill.—The Land Bill was finally dealt with by the Waste Lands Committee on Thursday morning. The most important alteration made was in clause 189 which fixed the rental of leases in perpetuity This had been altered by the Committee previously from 4 to 5 per cent, on the cash value. It was urged that the rental under licenses to occupy which give the licensees the option of purchase after a term of year 3 having been fixed at 5 per cent, a reduction in the case of leases in perpetuity would be necessary; otherwise no leases would be applied for in the meantime. After discussion, the rental was altered to *1 per cent as originally provided. The leading features of ihe Bill as it comes from the Committee in connection with agricultural lands are as follows .-—Limitation of area to 320 acres, leases in perpetuity at a rental of 4 per cent. on the cash value, occupation licenses at a rental of 5 per cent., with the right of purchase between ten and twenty years, from occupation or exchange of. license for a lease in perpetuity ; aud compulsory residence is insisted upon except in the case of lands sold for cash. In cash lands improvements to the value of £1 per acre are re. quired before a Crown grant is issued.

A Livery Stable Case.—At the R.M. Court, Timaru, on Wednesday, His Worship C. A. Wray, Esq., E.M., gave judgment in the case of Gibson v. Searle and Searle v. Gibson, claim £lO for value of horse injured by defendant, and crossactipn, £lO 3s, for keep of horse. Searle hired a horse from Gibson to drive to Temuka, expecting to meet his brother there. Not meeting him there, he drove on and when he reached Winchester the horse by some means (not explained in the evidence) slipped its shoulder. Searle got the horse to his brother's farm, at Orari, and Gibson went outto see it. He said all that could be done was to sw jm it- Searle said he did so, and also rubbed the shoulder with a liniment. Ultimately the horse was returned to Gibson's stable, and Gibson said it was useless, and issued a summons for its value. Searle then sued Gibson for the horse's keep while on his brother's farm. His Worship said the main question was whether the injury to the horse was the result of accident for which the hirer was not accountable, or whether it was due to negligence or want of proper care and caution on his part. The injury was admitted, and the surrounding 1 circumstances and the conduct of both parties prima facie carried proof of negligence, and it was for the defendant to show that the injury was the result of inevitable accident. Defendant's whole conduct was an admission of fault on his part. Judgment must be given for plaintiff for :C : 10. and in the cross-action judgment far defendant. Mr Raymond asked far solicitor's fee in qth ca,ses, and this was allowed. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS. Coughs and influenza.—The soothing properties of these medicaments render them well worthy of trial in all diseases of the respiratory organs. In common colds and influenza the Pills taken internally and the ointment rubbed over the chest and fciu'oat, are exceedingly efficacious. When influenza is epidemic, this treatment is the easiest, safest and surest. Holloway's Pills purify the blood, remove all obstacles to its free circulation through the lungs, relieve the over-gorged air tubes, and render respiration free, without reducing the strength irritating the nerves, or depressing, spirit; such are the ready rneaiis of cscjjv I ing from suffering when afflicted with <-' coughs, bronchitis, and other '' „oids, plaints, by which the l"*""" comseripi\s]y a.ftd r>*- — t on of so many is eQUivU' 1 "- ± . injured m most
