SEIZURE OF STOCK. The case of Jane Kilgour, of Waikowai, and her son, Thomas Alexander Kilgour, v. Sophia Louisa Taylor, of Mount Albert, in which damages were claims! for the alleged wrongful eeizure of stock of the value of £62 10s, belonging to the female plaintiff, and of the value of £30 of the male'plaintiff's, was continued. Mr. J. R. Lund on appeared for the plaintiffs, and Dr. Bamford for the defendant. The plaintiffs claimed that the property was wrongfully seized for arrears of rent, holding that, although the leasehold on which the stock usually grazed belonged to the husband, the stock was their property. The defence contended, however, that both parties had. agreed that defendant should take a bill of sale over the chattels in question as surety for the rent owing, and that when, failing the completion of this deed, .the goods were distrained upon, the female plaintiff made no personal claim to any of the property at the time, but offered, in fact, several of the cows concerned in exchange for the horse taken, and alleged to belong to the male plaintiff. The magistrate nonsuited Mrs. Kilgour, holding that her ownership of the cattle had not been established. He awarded the male plaintiff £1 damages for wrongful seizure.

AN UNDERTAKER'S CLAIM. James Jamieson, undertaker, Auckland, sued Win. Monaghan, settler, Ellerslie, for £4 15s, balance due on funeral of defendant's son. The total bill was for £15 17s 6d, and it had been partly met. The defence -was that the charge covered more than was ordered. Judgment was given for plaintiff, for whom Mr. Pullen appeared.

MR. SHAKES' EXPERIENCE. Fob over 30 years Mr. James Shakes has been a resident of Wellington. His shop in Manners-street is well known, and his experience will be interesting to many a sufferer from Rheumatism, Gout,' Sciatica, Lumbago, Rheumatio Gout, Stone, Gravel, and kindred diseases. He writes: — " During a severe attack of Rheumatio Gout, I tried RHEUMO. All pains left mo in 20 minutes after the first close, and by, the following morning all swelling had disappeared. Hearing that a friend of mine was suffering from Rheumatio Gout, I went up to his place with a bottle of RHEUMO, and the result was, as 'in., my case, a cure. I can honestly recommend RHEUMO to sufferers from Rheumatic Gout; as a cure it is a certainty." Perhaps you have found that other socalled • remediesliniments embrocations, plasters, or pills—could not cure your Rheumatism or Gout. They did not give relief, for they could not touch the real cause of tho suffering—excess urio acid in blood. RHEUMO is the one medicine that always brings relief.
