The condition of Messrs Monk and Pilcher and Miss Tylie, who wero all injured in a recent motor crash, is reported by the Hospital authorities as being satisfactory. Mr. F. C.

Franks, draper, of Fcatherston, seized by Mrs. Herbert under a bill of sale. Costs, £6 (is, were ordered to be paid out of the estate. Franks bought the drapery business from Mrs. Herbert, giving a bill of sale over the stock and entitling her to seize tho goods upon default. She did this on April 20 and carried on the business.

By the terms of the contract she held them for sale and disposal for tho purpose of obtaining the amount due. If by any chance the chattels realised more than the debt, sho would havo to account for tho balance to the Official Assignoe. She being in the position of mortgagee in possession, it behoved her, therefore, to keep strict accounts of the disposal of all goods seized,
