The Magistrate, in imposing a fine, said it appeared to be merely a technical offence, and that there was no intention to break the law.

An important decision was delivered by the Native Appellate Court, at Hastings, yesterday.

The next of-kin to deceased, Hakupa te Abanga sought to set aside this adoption on the ground that the ohildren never resided with deoeased. The oase has been before two* Native Land Courts from whence it was sent to the Appeal Court which referred it to a speoial sitting of three Judges not previously engaged in the oases. After two days' argument a lengthy judgment was delivered in favour of the ohildren. The oase involves between £15,000. and £20,000. Of Queen Elizabeth we read—"Cold mads that monarch croak."

FACTS ESTABLISHED AT COURT. In an action, the cause o! which was flagrant misuse of our firm name and other gross misrepresentation by an imi / tating company, which was tried before .. his Honor, Ch'ef Justice J. Madden, K.C.M.G., L.L.D., in the Supreme Court, at Melbourne, the prosecution showed:— 1. That Sander and Sons' Pure Volatile Eucalypti Extract contains all medical constituents of the eucalypti, in a highly refined and pure form. 2. That it is much more powerfully healing (antiseptic) than ordinary eucalyptus preparations,. 3. That it does not depress the heart like ordinary eucalyptus preparations. 4. That it contains no harmful ingredients, and That it is highly commended by many authorities for the last 30 years as a safe, reliable and effective remedy. Some imitators have tried to deceive the public by simulating our get-up; others have relied on the "just as good" game. Therefore take care and oDtain the GENUINE SANDER AND EUCALYPTI EXTRACT.
