THE JEYES FLUID CASE.

(Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, November 13. In the Jeyes' fluid ease. Sir John Findlay, in opening for the defence, said that the .accused had bought a bottling business in which the nurse label had been used for a considerable time. When Mr Skerrett, on behalf of Nottingham, wrote to Moar, the latter acknowledged the use- of the label, stating that he did not know it was an infringement. After several interviews it. was agreed between himself (Sir John Findlay) and Messrs Skerrett and Williams that Moar should pay £25, submit to an injunction, and, when the case was brought into Court, Mr Skerrett was to announce thai Moar acted in good faith. Counsel asked if it was fair, afber Moar had given all information, believing he was helping to reach a settlement, that a criminal charge should be brought against him? Accused had been buying Jeyes' fluid from different firms, and counsel asked was there a company in England manufacturing a spurious fluid and shipping it to New Zealand, or was it being manufactured in New Zealand, or was it possible, owing to war conditions, that the quality of Jeyes' fluid had fallen off. The case was adjourned till to-mor-row.
