THE HUTT TARRING CASE.

[r.\ ru-KMtvi'H. — i'iii->s \n->oci\iion 1 ■\VKUi\f.io\, TuuMhy, The Hutt tarring case advanced another stage to diy, when Walden was again placet! before the 11. M. Mcssis \V. Dawson and George Jorns, paitners in the firm of Dawson and Co., iiomnongcis, ga\e tiuiinportaiit evidence, after which the case was adjourned, in older to obtain evidence of Connor, a salcimn in the employ of Dawson and Co., who, it was alleged, had sold a pair of handculh On resuming at two o'clock Geoigc Edward Connor was sworn, and di po*i ■! that in Aiignst last he sold a pair of handcuffs to Walden. >lr Samuel Watcis. was present <it the time, and the handcuffs weie charged to the latter. Walden gave instructions to tlut effect in the presence of Wuteis. No conversation took place as to the use the handcuffs were to be put to. The firm kept brnshware, but \vitr.o?s had not sold any to the accused. Samuel Waters was recalled, and swore that he was not preseut when the handcuffs were purchased. Several sharp passages then occurred between the witness and the prosecuting counsel, Mr Travers. Witlit as continued that accused had asked the loan of a pair of handcuffs, but having none in his possession he authorised Walden to j»et them at Dawson'a. He had no conversation with Walden as to the purpose tor which they were to lie used, nor was he aware for what tin y were wanted. Hp did not ptu chase the handcuffs in the ordinary acceptation of the word. He beramc responsible for payment, but he did not rooeive doliveiy ( f them. Ho did not receive the hand cuffs nor did tho handcuffs pasi thiough Ins (witness's) hands. To the Bench : It was a Ho for the witness Amlei&on to <-ay that lie (witness) wanted to try handen tfa on him (Anderson) in tho atoio (Levin's). He did not say anything of the kind, nor did he have any handcuff in his hand at that time. Mr Travers for the piosccution, said he intended

to submit the tar brush found near the scene of the otitiaire to Mr Skej, to aseeitain, when the tar is cleaned otl it, it the makei's name was cm it, and also if the puvate milks of the sellers weie theie, in oulei to tiaee the piuchasei. He intended to call the Hon. I. A. Buckley, in whose service it was statj 1 the defendant had been just prior to the a<««anlt. Ho aho wished to ascertain w li.it the defendant was doing between the outrage and the time he was ap pointed a check taker at the Exhibition. He wished to show that the defendant was iv Mr Buckley s seivice, and was close to the spot wliue the outiage was committed. He also intended to call othui witnesses by whom lie hoped to tiacc the accused to the spot. He theie foie asked foi a further remand. Mi Scaffold objected to <i letnand. r J he other Mdc had that day shewn bid spnit in eudcavouung to diag a nasty mattei befoiP the public. The piosecution had thrown down the gauntlet, and he was quite willing to pick it up The matter, pel haps, would be heard in another place, and then the whole of the story would come betoie the public in a manner w Inch the prosecution would not, pei haps, altogether like. The prosecution had said that they wanted to obtain Walden's antecedents, but fni what object he failed to see. Counsel then icvicwed Miiii's evidence for the purpose of showing that Walden could not postibly have committed the assault, there not being sufficient time foi him to have committed the assault and get luck to town agiin, and be at the I'ost Om'ce Hotel a few- minutes after eleven o'clock that night. The only purpose in endeavouring to get a remand was to <liat? this duty case still furfchei in the mire. The prosecution was a piece of personal spite on the pait of his fnend, Mr Tavcis. His fuend had taised the ciy, and he must now take the consequence. The information was bad on the face of it ; as it set forth that the defendant put his leg across Muirs neck, with a view to comirit an indictable offence. He thought that the prosecution was not entitled to a lemand, -on the face of the evidence alicady adduced being so slight against the accused. Mr Waulell, Ix'cm dent Magistrate, said there was slight evidence to connect the accused with the outrage, and that view of the ciscwas stiengthened by the proof of the accused having put chased handcuffs. He .said that theie had been an evident intention on the part of the witnesses to screen the defendant, who might well remark, "Save ire from my friends" He thought that those holding prelimiiiaiy enquiries of this nature should allow the prosecution cveiy opportunity to collect evidence, and he would grant a further remand. Mr Ti avers said he had icceived most infamous insults fiom the witness in the box and the accused's counsel that day, but they had as much ellcct on him as water on a duck's back. Accused was fmther umandul until Tnebda} n< \t l*ul was allowed

The Bad and Worthless arencvci imi/nfn/ 01 cumiti ifutal. This is especially tine of afuinly medicine, and it is positive pi oof tli.it the lemedy imit'tti't is ot the highest value. As soon as it had bien tcbted and proved by the whole wOlw 01 Id that Hop Bitters was the purest, best and the most valuable family medicine on earth, many imitations sprung up and began to steal the notices in which the press and the people of the countty had expressed the met its of H 8., and in every way trying to induce suffering invalids to use tlieii stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H. B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H. 8., with variously doused names in which the word " Hop" or " Hops" were used in a way to induce people to believe they were the same as Hop Bittcis,. AH such pretended remedies or cuies, no matter what then style or name is and especially those with the word " Hop" 01 " Hops" in then name or in any way con nected with them or their name, aie imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them, 'louch none of them. Use no thing but genuine Ameiican Hop Bitteis, with a cluster of crccn Hops on the white label, and Dr Soulo's name blown in the glass Tinst nothing else. Diuggi-its and Chemists are warned against dealing in imitations or counter feits.
