A peculiar case came before tho R.M. this morning interesting to licensed victuallers. A Christchurch brewer supplied in September last a Timaru publican with two hogsheads of beer, for the value of which the brewer now sued. It appeared from the evidence that when the beer arrived it was seized by the Customs for non-cancellation of stamps, and lodged in bond. Subsequently it was released by an order from the Collector of Customs, who handed it to Mr Innes, but on the latter offering to send them again to Mr Moore free of charge the latter declined to receive them, on the ground that his

need for them had passed away. Evidence •was taken to-day, and the legal argument was reserved.
