ADULTERATION OF MILK AND MARGARINE, I 1900. The n- regulations bearing on the making and sale of niargarine come into cam on January 1st, 1900. It is to be hoped that tjoy will be strictly enforced: they are none too striAgent, and Sbr their usefulness to be secured it is nomssary that they do not degenerate into a farce. The working of the Act will be mainly directed lIlY the Board of Agri- cultare, who have shown themselves keen in follow- ing up swine fever and unmuzzled dogs, so there IS reason to suppose that they will sesite close in- spection. The introduction of imprisonment as a form of punishment is 000 to be commended, and it is difficult to understand why fraudulent adultera- tors of other commoditiee escape it. Ift is a decided- ly good ste towards the prevention ef the adultera- tion of Iniy- that every public milk seller must 4ve his name and address conspicuously inscribed on his vehicle or on his receptade fcr milk; but it is a better one that reoeptacles containing condensed, separated or skimmed milk must bear a label clear- ly viBible tiD the purchaser, denoting the contents. The means for putting the Adt into force seem to be well devised-: but while the English trader in new or comparatively new milk is made liable to the extent of F,10 it seems unjust to him that the same articles preserved abroad and sent he" do not come under E.. b.. APPROACH OF LAMBING TIME. ) -1 1 Deceniber is here, and before the end of themontn the Hampshire and Oxford Downe will hwe com- the 7a! Vb. With )?e mild wea.th with which -ttc have been f. it is difficult to realise that what so often is iegarded, as a spring operation should be so close at hand. On the whole -the autum'n has been favourable for the ewes, and generally they are ir. a healthy condi- tion. The approach of lambing suggests the necessity for rather stronger food than s found necessary during the early .portion of pregnaBcy. If ewes have been well treated they ?T'IT?e ? reserve of strength to draw?on during the flatter portion of the period in which the ]am is keitfg developed, and additional food may not be required but where the ewes have been scaveng- ing and getting but a small amount of nutritious f, so that they have got low in condition, it is strongly advisable that they should receive extra food. Substances containing a fair amount of nitrogenous matter are specially useful as they give strength to the ewe without making her over fat, and they are of direct benefit in helping to make up tkfi carcase of the lamb. Where good clover or sainfoin hay can be spared it will supply just the material requii-ecl Malt culms mixed with oats straw chaff are very suitable: or, if more conven- ient, oil cake may be used with advantage. Having d experience some years ago in lambing down a flock which had got too low in condition when on grass, &nd h<? received no extra food, the lesson Z:n learned is not likely to be forgotten. In- sufficient strength-at lambing time, and a weak flow of milk subsequently, caused more loss and trouble than anything in my experience except when the ewes suffered from foot-an&mouth disease at lambing. From the latter contingency we are now preserved by careful veteriaaryarnngements; the termer one may occur at any time when the ewes are allowed to get too low during the few weeks "preoedint' lambipg. ROOT AND STEM ROT IN POTATOES. I Professor Johnson, of the Royai-College of Science, ,Dublin, has spent a considerable amount of time during the past-season in inspecting the potato crop in various parts of Ireland, notably in Con- Bemara, with the view of gaining further informa- tion as to diseases affecting the crop. He paid specie attention- for some years to the disease which has been known as the new potato disease. The fungus causing this form of disease commences its operations below ground, and was found, 1U -almost all cases, in tjuautities amasnting to hundreds, .where it was exercising a more or less injurious effect on the crop. The appearance of the plant .stricken with this disease is veiy instinct from that of one affected by.the ordinarydisease. Although the ordinary disease is sometitoss communicatcd directly to the tutor, it is.mora(i.ommon for it to be first established or; the of the plant above ,iground, where the.der.d or irymg.patches with dis- tinctive rings of mould around them, are easily rreeoenised. In the new disease tto decor s«ts up fcelow ground, and gradually few above :br destroying the means for the sap to flow; ■Notchy yellow spots are noticeable on the leaves, and later on the plant dies. Examination of the stem audi root reveals the presence of the cause of the disease. Towards the latter pa:,t of the attack the underground; pwtions of the, stem and such tubers as may have formed on tkem are covered with dark, black bodies, varying ia size and shape from that of a pin's head to that of a small grain of wheat. These bodies are called Selerotia, and although tie manner in which they act is not yet definitely ascertained, it is most prut able that they form the resting stage which intervenes between one year and another. At preseit there is no method of treatment yet devised wluch will check the disease when it has established itself on the plant. It is undoubtedly necessary, to avoid plant- inZ, from, stocks which tire affected. Those who JIläkø a change of stook should be careful that the seed eupplied has nOJæ. of the blaxik epots, or the lami-planted- with them will become infected. The pemnstency with which the disease holde the ground, once tablished, hows the absolute import- ance using every care .to. prevent itom Btfoduction. A-, present the only meads recognised for prevent- in? the disease from spreading is to burn the haulm and wch tubers as are infested. This will un- doubtedly have a. detereat effect, although the a very act,arced stage of decomposi- tion Wow ground before ??ow6 in such a marked degree "On &e upper part;; and as the &? under- d?ree..on the u p per part.- around breads are att?ed. and they m atura breat-? easily, tbis ve? serious dtseMe? one against /which all precautions should bo token to prevenhits getting on to hvgh. ground.

With a big crop in hand and diffl- cultv in selling itw? na.? ? special inte phoild be M? by the co?PM?. Mr Bell stattd that the experiments in training had been I continued, and that the German system had been discarded, and the butcber system modified in accord- ance with the lessons learned in the past. Wide planting, that is 8ft. by 8ft, was found to give better results both in respect to quality and quan- tity of the hops, than = 7ft. by 6ft. planting was followed. The wider alleys, however, required a greater outlay for string oa account of the flatter slops. H the letting in of more sunshuie in such a year as this is beneficial, it may bo inferred that there -I.d be greater benefit in cool and sunless seasons. -Against that, however, might be set The risk of too luxuriant growth in those years; and it will be interesting to see how the results of wet seasota will bear out those pf the recent hot ones. Some growers advocated broad and some narrow spMes in accordance with their experience, and there; is evidently much to be learned on this point yet., Bio slag gave good results in all cases eave at' Frant, and a special inquiry into the nature of the land would be made to show why it had not done so satisfactorily there. From analyses made to ascertain the amount of resins gtown in various districts and with different a&anures it was found that the Goldings were scarcely up to standard quality, that Bramblines were better than last year, ? ,t the Weald hco bad improd, and that the WoroestoM were 0 0 f lower quality than last year. Moderate quantities of nitrate of ssda had incrastsed the percentage of resins, but excessive dressings tended to decrease it. Dr. Bernard Dyer regarded potash as being very uncertain in its action. He thought nitrate of soda decidedly beneficial, and that much of the disappointment some growrs cx. perienced was due to its being applied too late, his experience being that it was best applied in Febru- ary or March. Professor Percival urged the careful selection of plants for the nursery; and was of opinion that there was much to be done in the way of improvement of varieties to increase the amount of resins, which is not at ell unlikely, as careful selection for this feature h&% not been extensively carried out.

THE WELSH LAND COMMISSION.I
THE WELSH LAND COMMISSION. I CLAIMI AfiAINST THE NORTE WALES I PROPERTY DEFENOH ASSOCffATIOK. At the; Bangor (luunty Thurt on Monday, be- foc-e his Honour Judgo Sir Horatio Uoyd, an action was Learl in which the plaintiff was Mr R. Hughes Pritchard, solicitor, Bangor, and the defendants the North Wales Property Defence, Association. The plaintiff claimed the sum of 927 la 6d for services rendered, etc., in oonneo- ticn with, evidence1 which he had given before the Welsh liand, Oomnnisedon when that body held their sittiag at Llangefni. Mr J. Bryn Roberts, M.P. (instructed by Mr Huw Rowland), appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr J. E. Vincent (instructed by Mr Ghaxles A. Jones) appeared for the defendants. Mr Bryn Roberts said the plaintiff vr* claamr i.ng in respect of his attendance before the Land Oomimissi on at Llangefni to give evidence at the request of the defendants. The late Mr George Owen, who was then, the secretary and solicitor for the defendant association, informed the plains tiff that some observations were likely to be made at the Llangefni sittings of the Oonnmia- sion, with reference to what was then known as the "Llyslew case." That was supposed to be a matter which might have an injurious effect so far as the interests of the aeoociatiom were con- cerned. Mr Owen asked and pressed the) plain- tiff to attend At Llangefni inasmuch as he had been oonneoted with the matter on which the proposed evidence was to be given. Llyslew was a farm in Anglesey which belonged to the trustees of the Bottwnog School, charity. It seemed that some. years ago a lease had been agreed upon-he did not say legally agreed, but there was an arrangement as to a. lease between the trustees and Mr John, Hugh-eo, the then occupier of Llyslew, for a term of 45 years. The lease was prepared by Mr Jones, of Pwllheli, who acted for the trustees, and was executed, he (Mr Roberts) thought, by all the truateee except one, Mr Bulkeley (Hughes. That lease was "ultra vire?' bemufe the trustees had no power to grant a lease for longer than 21 years without the oonsent of the Charity Cammiseiomers. Mr John Hughes died and his representatives were aeked by the trustees to give u.pt possession of the farm. When the action was defended the c-ooitenti an was raiBed) that if the leaao did not hold good for 45 years it wouldbo good for 21 years, the period far which the trustees wul iegaalv mmt it without the con- sent of the Charity Commissioners. That was over-ruled by "Mr Justice Charles anA judgment was given for the plaintiffs. He believed that the defendant association was formed) espresdy in view of the Welsh Land Comimilfeioiii, but he was not sore. It was formed with the view of protecting fue interests of landed proprietors from the threatened attack upon those interests that was iwvolved by the Land 'Cbmmisaion. Mr Vincent said that was wrong. The asso- ciation had- been in existence some time before t,he appointment of the Welsh Land Oommis- sioo. Mr Btryn Roberts, continuing, said the im- portant p-oint involved was that ft wafl import- ant in the eyes of those whom he might call the attacking T-ty to show that under the present sv&tem d tenure improvements had', to use a general term, been confiscated. From the lraid- ownera point of view it was important to show that. that was not so. Mr Vincent said they admitted that tho plain- tiffs evidence was valuable and important, and that, it was given with great courage. Mr Bryn Roberts went on to say that much, itpprovemcnte had been carried1 out at Llyslew bv the kto Mr Hughes, and hie repreeentative had been ejected without receiving any allow- ance- for such improvements. Mir Pntchaxd was invited to give evidence because he had been employed by the Bottwnog charity trustees from beginning to end. Certain offers had been made and, it was important to show that those offers were for a certain consideration. The late Mr George Owen was anxious that the plaintiff should attend before the Land Oomimission that he not only asked him himself, but he also urged Mr R. O. Jones, the agent for the Bottwnog trustees, pressing him to allow "Mr Pritchard to afckmdi to give evidence. The plaintiff plead- ed to Mr Owen, that he knew nothing about the subject of land tenure, and Mr Owen said he would essnd him a. quantity of material to assist him in preparing his evidence The plaintift i received a. quirtity of literature and went labor- iously through it and looked up documents to r('fy)¡, his BMm<wv respecting the Uyslew eject- ment Mr on to say that thi!! ?'?"t??' a oorrfd'erable time both for the plai?»«<f w> hi? clerk ift preparing b4>flb for of lerk iiii i)repanng the, pm f?f (l»aniU8<Scn 'i •'J.i'Mcefni. Th? pMntiE' was in  ?h'T"' -"t I-)M?ri for two days. It was "?'?' iJ t? plaintiff to f.tt.?d there, and it -?.M. V. unrsMSona-ble to suppose that he went his- own oocpenoe. The plaintiff, after- wards, met the- late Mr George Owen several time.s nnd, casually akoo him when he imignt ex- pect a cheque for his attendance at Llangefni, hut Mr Owen referred to a settlement at scene future time, and made no suggestion that the defendants were not liable. Now, however, when the plaintiff made application to the die- fendants the answer he had was that he must look to the trustees of the Bottwnog charity. There coctlil be no suggestion that the plaintiff should not be paid, but he (Mr Roberts) thought he could satisfy the Court that the Bottwnog trustees were not liable. He contended that there had been no, suggestion1 that the plaintiff was giving evidence in the interest of the trus- tees, ibufc rather with their permission. The old Inxly of trustees of the Bottwnog charity had becctme emerged in the Carnarvonshire Inter- mediate Education Scheme, and were defunct about five months before the plaintiff gave his evidence. The plaintiff had handled over) to the old trustees the balance due from him to them, and he (Mr Roberts) submitted that would not have been done so if the plaintiff had any claim against them. Mr R. H. Pritchard, the plaintiff, was called and said that in 1891 he was instructedl by the trustees of Bottwnog to bring am action for eject- memt against the executrix of the deceased ten- ant of Llyslew. She set up a lease which he considered invalid and he advised the trustees accordingly. The lease was for 42 years he thought. He was instructed to obtain posses- sion of the farm and there! were long negotia- tions. The executrix set up certain improve- ments upon the faun and a substantial sum was oftwied- to her if she would settle upon terms proposed. All the offers were dleclined, and she refuaed to go out of the farm. He issued a writ and recovered possession. He met the late Mr George Owen at Carnarvon, and the latter told him, he wished witness to give evidence at Llan- gefni reepootmg the Llyslew case. Some time afterwards Mr Owen, told witness that Mr David Owen, solicitor, was going to give evidence be, fore the Land Commission at Llangefni reepect- ing the Llyslew case, and he asked witness to give rebutting evidence. Mr Owen sent him a large quantity of newspaper cuttings and trans- lations referring to the land question and some of them, had reference to the Llyslew case. Wit- ness was asked to give evidence respecting the action he had taken on behalf of the Bottwnog trustees, and the late Mr Owen also told him. to attend! at Llangefni to hear the evidence that would be gived by Mr David Owen. Wit- ness did so, and on the following day attendedi to give evidence- himself. He was engaged with two shorthand clerks drawing out the proof of tho evidence that he was to give, and in this, work they were occupied1 for a considerable time. The Judge: Were you examined by anybody ? -Iwasex&mined, by Mr Vincent. I was asked to give my evidence. Evidence was given there in a very irregular fashion. Witness, continuing his evidence, said lie had no dtoubb that the proof of his evidence was hM<£- ed to th& ht& Mr Gtcrge Owen. He was not at the IAn4? Oommissi re fing the Bot- twnog trnsbeœ. Mr ;r ex never denied liability to pay witness. Mr Bryn Roberta then read correspondence which had passed between, the plaintiff and Mr Qhflfflk At Jones, solicitor, Carnarvon, the pre- sent secretary of the North Wales Property De- fftccc Association, from which generally it coxild be gathered that the defendhnte denied Mattty imd that in their opinion the plaintiff attended before the on behalf of the Bottwnog trustees. The Plaintiff was then cross-examined by Mr Vincent, and said he gave his evidence before the Land Commission on October 12th, 1893. Hehadnotsentabill to the late Mr George Owen, whom he had no reason to doubt would send him an adequate cheque for the evidence he had given. Witness said he wee one of the candi- dates for the secretaryship of the North Wales Property Defence Association, but he was not successful, Mr diaries A- Jones being appoint- ed. The Welsh Land Commissioners would not have reoognised him as & representative of the Association if he went to give evidence on their behalf. Mr Vincsmt, quoting from the official report of the Land Cbmmiasion: Did you use this ex- pression, "I claim on behalf of the umobom the right to reply in general to the case on their behalf."—No doubt; if I stated that I appeared on behalf of the association the Commissioners would not ha.ve listened to me. In your own book on the land question you say that they re- fused to aUow a representative of the association to appear. Mr Vincent remarked that both he and' the late Mr George Owen had given, very lengthy evidence oni behalf of the association. QroesMeotalminatiofi continued: Witness aakl he did not deny having used the words quoted by Mr Vincent. He had never read, 80 single line about the Land Oomniissioo nor of the evidence given before it Ho did not press his claim be- cause he thought the late Mr Owen as a pro- fessional man, would have seen that he was paad. Mr Robert Owen Jones, estate agent, Pwil- heli, said he acted as agent to the old trustees of Bottwnog charity and continued to act until that body became extinct by the charity being merged into the "Carnarvonshire Intermediate Education Scheme. He recollected receiving & communication from the late Mr George Owen in which the latter asked witness to press Mr Pritchard to give evidence respecting the Llys- lew case before the Welsh Land) Commission at Llangefni He believed the old trustees had ceased to exist 88 a body about six weeks before he received that communication. He did not recognise that Mr Pritchard would be attending before the Land Commission on behalf of the Bottwnog trustees, as, in fact, the trust was defunct at that time, and witness did not oom- ■ ader he was at that time secretary. dross-examined: Witness said that possibly the accusations that were made against the trustees with reference to Llyslew might, if not disproved, reflect upon the trustees to a body. P.e-examin,ed. Witness said thab charges were made against the corporate action of the Bot- twnog Trust in taking possession of the farm, On behalf of the defendants, Mr Cberles A. Jones, solicitor and secretary to the North Wales Property Defence Association, was called. He was asked by Mr Vincent if he knew the practice of the late Mr George Owen, with regard to evi- dence given before tie Land Commission. Wit- ness said he was well-acquainted with Mr Owoo's practice both with reference to. hianwf (witness) when he gave evidence and also with reference to other witness.. Mr Bryn Roberts objected to witness relemng to the practice with regard to other witnesses. Mr Vincent asked witness to state the practice with reference to evidence which he himself gave. The Judge said he did not think that would be evidence, and even if it was it would not affect I this case. Witness, in reply to further questions, said he gave evidence before the Land Commission. He did not send in a. bill to the association for hÍ8 attendance.. Cross-examined: He said- that not a single witness had been paid by the association for giving evidence before the Land Commissi^ on. He had been very carefully over the books and accounts and found that the association, had been most careful to avoid paying any witnesses. Mr Vincent, on behalf of the defendants, sub- mitted said that it was entirely an after- thought on the part of the plaintiff to send in a claim Against the association, and that originally he bid ho intention of charging anything. The plaintiff had not been retained by the associa- tion, and nothing had transpired between the parties which could in any way be construed into a retainer. He pointed to the time-aoout five years—which had elapsed since the Land Com- mission came to an end; it came to an end be- fore tJli) death of Mr George Owen, and yet the JÙintiff h-ad never rendered an account to Mr Owen. He referred to the fact that the plaintiff was, after the death of Mr Owen, a candidate for the secretaryship of the North Wales Property Defence Amociatim-which he now treated with such contempt as not to know the title of it- hut he was not successful, Mr Charles A. Jones, Carnarvon, being appointed. The plaintiff's solicitor apparently saw some legal difficulty, for in a letter written, to the association he said his client had not sent, in "a bill of cost -or it would be much more." Mr Vincent submitted that the plaintiff was nob entitled to anything from the pssoeiation because he had not been retained by them as solicitor, and he again submitted that the plaintiff's claim was an after-thought Mr Bryn Roberts repudiated the suggestion that the plaintiff had sent in a claim because he was not appointed secretary to the association. He maintained that the correspondence showed that plaintiff had given evidence at the request of the late Mr George Owen. In reply to the judge, Mr CJharlefl A. Tonm said he was appointed secretary to the association in I January, 1896. His Honour reserved hi.s dec.isi. on. jJ

ITHE PURCHASE OF A WELSH GOLD…
THE PURCHASE OF A WELSH GOLD AND 0DPPER mI. In the Queen's Bench Division, before Mr Justice Bruce and a speakul jury, the action of Piokersgill v. Jones came on for hearing (m Mon- day. Mr I. Tho. 6nd Mr Ah,th iil;ris? were for the plaintiff, Mr Henry Pickersgil}, builder, flareaoe ViBa, Syndenham and Mr Wallace, Q.O., Mr IQ. o. Scott, and Mr 0. B. Marriott were for the defendant, Mr John M. J-omes auctioneer, Barmouth. Plaintiff sought to recover damages for loss sustained through the alleged fraudulent misre- presentation, of the defendant on the proposed sale, of the Oadwgan gold and copper mine, in the parish of Llanfach- rttii. Tal, deftnee- was a general denial of the plaintiff's allegations. According to the opening of Mr Lewis Thoooae, tho plaintiff was cn a visit to Barmouth, where he li.&tme acquainted with the defendant, who said he was in a position to sell a gold and oopper mine named Oadwgan, and plaintiff made further inquiries of Mr Jcmes, and the latter showed him the report of Mr Thomas Evans, known as Cap- tain Evans. The report was dated October 14th, 18S5. Plaintiff was told by defendant that CWptain Evans was a mining engineer of exper- ience, and handed his report to the plaintiff. Mr Pickersgill thought the report was too old, as many things might have happened to the mine in the meantiane. Mr Jones then pro- posed to get a report from 4Japtain Evans, and, the 27th June, 1898, defendant, plaintiff, ai I others drove to the mine, picking up Captain Evans on the way. Afterwards, on the 6th July, the mining npert forwarded his report to. Mr Jones, who sent it on to the plaintiff. The lat- ter agreed to pay defendant £ 100 for the rights which he had in the mine. Plaintiff aaime to London, where he entered into negotiation which, had everything gone right, would have put him into the position of selling the right. he had acquired for £1500. But before the intending purchaser would complete the agree- ment he desired to know explicitly wha,t were the prospects of the mine with regard to copper, it being known that the amount of gold to be ob- tained was small. But apparently Mr Evanswas not inclined to make any report, and another expert. Mr Williams, from the adjoining county of Cardiganshire, was engaged with both, plaintiff and defendant. Mr Williams visirea me 011 the 9tli of August. The latter made his re- port, but afterwards cautioned plaintiff to be careful that he was using tho report in reference to the mine which he intended to sell. SulJ6ç- quemtly plaintiff found that the mine to whuai defendant took him (said Wiiliaime) was not tLo Oadwgan mine at all, but a well-known Pntch- ard-Morgan mil-to. The latter mille had foor adits, but the Cadwgan mine had no adits at all. There had been no working there, and there was no water power. The plaintiff gave evidence m support of coun- sel's opening, and his Lordship observed that it was a case which should have been tried -in Merionethshire, where the matters in dispute oowld have been decided at once. Mr Thomas, in reply to his loTdship, said the misrepresentation relied upon was that defendant had taken plaintiff to & mine which he knew was not. the Cadwgan mine. by his Lordship, -id Plaintiff, cross-examined by his Lordship, said defendant had insisted that ho had shown plains tiff the right mine. The court adjourned. The hearing oi the cuso Y,-as resumed on W -,d-- n, -,&y. Plaintiff, in renewed cross-examination by Mt" Wallace, said he was buying other mines at the time. Like others, he bought, them to make a profit. He had a building estate <it Barmoutb, and acquainted with the defendant in June, wlieu tho sole of the mine was mentioned between them. Did the defendjut give YOl the "take note" with a map attached showing the size and. position of the mine, and the position of the river in relation to itY-I did not look at it His lardsh' You have .charpt" idant with Ti,l '? give you thi; '?..? 'M the mfil)t-I do ■ t, understand. You are the only person in court who i'o s about it.—He gave me the "take note, buu I did not look at it. Plaintiff, in .further cross-cxamin tion, d.eni. ed, that Captain Evans had asked him to 30 on to the [ ground and see the mine for himscif: nor bad witness replied that he had had enough for that day, and that the quartz was good enough for him. The second, report of Captain Evans did not suit the people too, whom plaintiff was selling the m.ne, because it said nothing about copper. Did you write letter stating that you wisw you )" been there when Captain EvaM m.?de out his ivport?-Yes. Was not your whole difficulty in connection witH the mine that Captain Evans declined to report that there was copper in itY-Yell, becausa he wanted more money. The people in too city to whom I was selling wanted the mine for copper. I did not offer Captain Evans 230 and 50 shares tf he would put that there was copper into Ms repol Captain Evans refu"d to make any further repo By his Lordship: It was essential to the cant- ing out of my bargain with the people in the city that there should be something about copper in the report. By Mr Wallace: He had never paid anything to the defendant, because it had not been neces- sary. He had never borrowed money from Jones for his hotel expenses. He Itind borrowed 2s frorm him one evening when he ran short of money. There v-iim a. judgment summons out against him for L5. He was aware that Mr Cleveland, to whom lie was selling the mine, became bankrupt, but he told defendant that negotiations were being carried; on with the same people with, whom Cmv4- land had been negotiating. Probably he said to defendant that he knew a young swell in Brighton with plenty of money who might take the matter up. It was the defendant who in November took plaintiff to the Uadwgan Mine, aJla on me xom of September Captain Williams wrote to him, saying that a proper survey of the mine should be made. He did not endeavour to sell tho- Cadwgan- Mine as a copper mine, after that date. He still eltarged defendant- with deceiving and de- fl'udjn" P?rrL In F?bru&ry &f this year did you write to t:M defendant a tt, in which you said: "I know some of the best people in London, with money, and we could d<» a. lot of business together to our mutual benefit- aad advantage?" isuppnss I vrote that. His Lordship: Did you write that.—irts. P,e-examined The judgment for £ 5 was on a; summons taken out for fees by C6ptain Williams, and he had refused to pay it, bemu?-o the latter had reported on the wrong mine. 'Mr Duvid .Doug!?, muung &nd consulting en- Kin?r, stated hauth Ú.: to C:=::hi birth plaintiff and defendant stated was the Qo.dvrgan Mine. After he made his report, he dis- covered tlfflt it was not the Cadwgan Mine, and he therefore communicated with both parties. On the conclusion of the evidence for the plain- till, the Jurv, in reply to his Lordship, said they were sut-i^sd, there had been no frau-ubnt mis- representations on the part of the defeiidimt. His Lordship entered judgment for the «Mcu«a«t.
