The life of brewers in Dunedin has not been mado happy by the introduction of No-license in the southern parts of the province (says the Bruce Herald), and to add to their troubles it is alleged that telegrams have been received ordering liquor for certain parties (not 100 miles from Milton), and such parties have afterwards disputed tho authenticity of their signatmes — of course after the liquor had been consumed ! At least one firm ha 6 been obliged to adopt another interpretation of the famous cltuu 0. viz., "No money, no beer," and thus protact itt own intereits.
