This waa an action broua-ht by open and put the rapture up. John said he felt better, but oh, he wan be 1 tbe next day, ana died that night. The doctors said mortified. John tad that rupture yeara, and be aaid not a week tnfore he died he waa going to be cured by Dr. Sherman aa aeon ae you came to St.

Leuta, Oh, how I wish he bad gone on to Naw York about Christmas. He talked about it, but no one encouraged Ha. I was just looking over tbe letter yon wrote him in January, so I thought I bad better write you and let you know hia bad lack. He almys talked about seeing you and being cured. Respectfully yours, HENRY ADAMS.

HO HAN IS SAFB Who has rupture, no nutter hew insignificant be may con-aider it, for ev- ry man who baa died from it onoe flattered himself that it waa but a trifling ailment, and every man who now suffers from it and the injury of truss to snob an extent that life baa no enjoyments, onoe regarded it aa unworthy special attention. Ii is not a stand-still affliction it ia steadily progressive, even onto death, and he is wise who takes the necessary steps to be effectually relieved of it before the day ot suffering and gloom comes upon him. RUPTURE. Dr. Sherman's treatment ia altogether external, yet so effective that the patient is enabled to perform any kind of labour with safety from the dangers of strangulated rapture, aud without interferiug wi the care that be dies not prescribe medicine or perform any surgical operation; that his system is one of his own aoovery, wholly artiatic, and free from tbe vexation, discomfort, and injury arising from the use of trusses, whioh predispose kidney, bladder, aud other organic ailments that undermine health even more than rupture.

Those who desire to fully inform themselves and take advantage of the experience of others should send for Dr. Sherman's boek, which contains strong Indorsements from physicians, clergymen, merchants, and farmers who have been treated and cured, with aooompayiDg liken Bases of bad cases before and after care. i Remember, ly for a United period yon can see Dr. Sherman at hia London Office, 61, Chancery-lane, W.C.

The action was brought to recover damages for personal injuries oaused to plaintiff by negligence on the part of defendant. Defendant denied the negligence, and brought a counter olaim for damages against the plaintiff. Mr. Darling, Q.C., and Mr. Lawrence appeared for plaintiff Mr.

A. Young and Mr. Rea for defendant. Plaintiff, Mr. T.

H. Drew, said on the 29ch January he drove into Kidderminster in a two-wheeled dog cart, and started to return to Stourport in the same way. Going ont of Kidderminster he picked up Mr. Bagstet, and took him as far as the top of Foundry-street, where he set him down. He then continued his journey and had get about four miles ou bis way home when he saw defendant's cart at a distance of 30 yards coming towards him on the wrong side of the road at a good speed.

Witness oalled out, but directly afterwards the oart collided with him. Witness was thrown out of his trap, and did not remember anything more until he was picked up. He was taken to Dr. Mssterman's and afterwards home. He was confined to his bedroom for nearly a month, and uaabls to attend to his business for six weeks.

His sales had to be oonduoted by other persons. The repair of the dog-oart oost 11. 7s. 61. He was driving seven or eight miles an hour when the accident occurred.

Cross-examined by Mr. Toung: He had been an auctioneer a little more than twelve months, and he would not say that he had made more than 20 profit during that time. The trap he drove was hired, and he should think it was worth about 8 before the accident. He was sober at the time. Dr.

Masterman described the injuries whioh plaintiff received as having been very serious. He attended him from the 29th January till the 13th February. His face and head were dreadfully lacerated, and his right ear nearly torn off. SATURDAY. Drew t.

Pain. The hearing of thia case was resumed on Saturday morning. Mr. Toung further cross-examined the plaintiff. He said that from the place where he stopped Mr.

Bagster to where the collision occurred waa about 200 yarda. He asked Mr. Bagster to accompany him to the Swan, but he went home. When Mr. Bagster got out of the trap witness had to drive down a rather steep decline and kept on the near side, after turning an elbow in the road.

Defendant's cart was about 50 yarda off when witness saw it was on the wrong side of the road. Witness had not time to pull up, but shouted out and pulled nearer to the aide. If witness had pulled out of the way he should have avoided a collision. Just before the collision the defendant's oart came straight along the middle of the road. Mr.

Bagster came to see witness on the Sunday night following, but witness did not say to him, I cannot imagine how it was; but something came over me and I lost control of my horse." Witness was insured in the Accidental Office and received 25. In re-examination, witness aaid he had been a land agent before entering into partnership with Mr. Baynton in the autumn of last year. He was working up a connection, and the injuries be received interfered with it. Witness was not drunk at the time of the collision.

Mr. B. B. Bagster, solicitor, of Kidderminster and Stourport, said that on January 29 he met the plaintiff at Kidderminster and accepted a seat in plaintiff's dog oart. When witness got out the plaintiff drove slowly on.

Cross-examined Witness on one occasion heard a woman named Mrs- Eliza Giles telling a man what she was going to say, and witness said to her, Why, Mrs. Giles, when I called upon yon, you told me that you knew nothing whatever about it that you were in the house at the time, and you were so frightened that yon would not come out." Mrs. Giles replied that it was a counuess inventions mat eontxiDuta no our aaiiy ronjiwuwi bare emanated from the same land from whence o. mes thia specialist in a malady which ia more common than th'iee unacquainted with the snbiect would imagine.

BTJPTCap FATALITY. STAaTLDtO FACTS. From 100 oases of Strangulated Rupture, only 17 survived. Tbe unfortunate subjects ranged from children to aged persons. Eighty were naing trusses or domestio supports.

The larger number were subjected to surgical operation, from whioh only 11 recovered. Of those not opera' ed on, only six recovered. The average duration of life from thetiaeof the attack was five days. The sufferings in such cases are terrib e. This tabulated report shows the danger the ruptured are exposed to when seeking proteotion from the ordinary trass, la contrasting 100 cases treated by the Sherman Method, the result is marvellous.

N-ue aufferod from Strangulated Rupture all were relieved, and nearly all restored to a state of soDBdneas. These facts show conclusively tbe great advantages the patient has under the Sherman Treatment, and why the author is so deservedly popular iu this branch of science. In Dr. Shermau'a treatment there is no operation, no reitric'i from labour, but safety and restoration from all the ailments canned by rupture and the use trusses. Dr.

Mr. George Frederick Rennie, draper's assistant, in the employment of Messrs. Gaunt, Worcester, againet Mr.

Arnold Lewis, of the firm of Boberiaand Lewis, clothiers, Worcester, to recover .200 damages for libel The libel complained of was contained in the following letter, which was addressed to Mr. J. H. Uaunti 32. Cross.

Worcester. January 8, 1887. Dear Sir, My wife haa informed me of some scandalous behaviour of Mr. Rennie towards her before she left your employ, and of whioh she informed Mrs. Gaunt at the time.

Suoh actions cannot be stigmatised too strongly in nouses ot business, particular) under such mean oironms anoea, stud knowing she was engaged to me, although he had no chance, and was foiled. I have, in consideration of bis actions being with criminal hi tent, instructed Messrs. Allen and Beauohamp to prosecute him regardless ot expense; and thinking it right to inform you as his employer of my intention, with the view of saving the name of your firm from scandal, having given him the ohanoe of malring an am pie apology to me, otherwise proceedings will at onoe be taken. Such actions should be made publio of such men, and the rod not spared, I think. Hence my actions.

How you can keep so low a fellow In a respectable establishment 1 am at a lots to conceive, especially with respectable young ladies pardon my remark. With sinoere wishes for tbe New Tear for self, Mrs. Gaunt, and daughter, I remain yours respectfully, Arnold Lewis." Mr. R. H.

Amphlett appeared for plaintiff: Mr. Vaohell appeared for defendant. Mr. Amphett, in opening the case for plaintiff, said it was of a kind almost unexampled in this oounty. Prior to the let March, 1886, Mrs.

Lewis (then Miss Wilks) and Mr. Rennie were employed together at Messrs. Gaunt's. In March, 1886, Miss Wilks left Messrs. Gaunt's, and in the following December she was married to the defendant, Mr.

Lewis. A few days after the marriage, on January 8th, defendant wrote tbe letter which formed the subject of the action. On the same day he also wrote to the plaintiff a letter, as follows "Sir, My wife has fully informed me of your abominable oonduot towards her in the oellar before she left Foregate-street, the date of whioh I have, and you probably know, when you failed to accomplish your dastardly pirpose. Buen actions you must know are criminal and oannot be stigmatised too strongly, particularly when you knew she waa engaged to me, and under suoh abominably mean circumstances, unworthy of a dog. I hare therefore instructed Messrs.

Allen and Beanohamp to prosecute you regard la as of expense but I would fain give you a ohanoe of saving yourself from public disgrace and your employers' establishment from scandal. If you are prepared to give me an ample apology in writing and to send 1 to the funds of the infirmary I will stay proceedings otherwise I will at onoe proceed. Mind I am not ti be trifled with. Tours, Arnold Lewis. The first step plaintiff took on receiving those letters waa to go himself to Messrs.

Allen and Beauohamp, when he found that so far from having instructed Messrs. Allen and Beauohamp defendant had never directly or indirectly oommunioated with them on the matter, and that that statement in defendant's letter waa a falsehood. Thereupon Messrs. Allen and Beanohamp wrote to defendant on the 10th January, Sir, Tour letter of the 8th addressed to Mr. Q.

F. Rennie, of 57, Foregate-street, haa been handed to u-, and Mr. Gaunt haa also handed us your letter to him of the same date. We must first of all point out to you that you have never instructed us, as you allege, to take any proceedings against Mr. rLenme, and that you were in no way authorised to make nse of the name of our firm in your letters, and consequently Buch a statement on your part ia totally untrue.

The accusation against our client contained is the letters ia he instructs us false, and being of so gross a character, he will not be satisfied with any apology from you and we have therefore received his instructions to commence an action against you forthwith, and you will be good enough to inform ns of the name of yonr solicitor, who will accept service of a writ." The next step waa that defendant called on Mr. Beauchamp, and he then and there repeated the whole of the libel in detail, and stated to Mr. Beauohamp that he oould prove everything he had said to be true. After that Mr. Beauohamp at onoe on behalf of plaintiff commenced an action against defendant for substantial damages aud all defendant had to do to put plaintiff out of Court was to prove that his charges were true.

Only one construction oould be placed upon defendant's letters, and that waa that he charged plaintiff with having attempted to outrage bis vdef endant's) wife before her marriage, and threatened him with criminal proceedings. His only defence would have beeu justification but instead of that he put in the most extraordinary plea. Defendant denied that the words of his letter bore the meaning put upon them by the plaintiff hut was there any other construction they oould put upon the letter exoept that which plaintiff had put upon it Defendant's answer to the action waa this At the time the letter was written defendant was labouring under feelings of the greatest jealousy and irritation in consequence of certain statements made to bim by his wife. The said letter was net written maliciously but solely in consequence of and under the influence of such feelings. There is no foundation for any suoh charges as plaintiff alleges is contained in the said letter and the defendant unreservedly withdraws all imputations on the plaintiff's character and exceedingly regrets that he ever wrote the said letter, although he denies as aforesaid that it bears the meaning put upon it by the plaintiff," A more complete surrender of the defendant's position he (Mr.

Amphlett) oould not imagine, bearing in mind the abominable charges be had made. Defendant went on to say, "Defendant pays into Court the sum of 10, and aays that sum is sufficient to satisfy the plaintiff's olaim." The plaintiff, however, was not willing to accept suoh terms and the question of damages would have to be determined by the jury. Not only, too, was it untrue that defendant gave Messrs. Allen and Beauohamp any instructions. in this matter, but Mrs.

Gaunt would tell them that it was an entire fabrication to say that any complaint was made to her by Mrs. Lewis as to plaintiff's conduct. The learned counsel, in conclusion, submitted that such damages should be given as would not only compensate plaintiff, but as would punish defendant for the misconduct of whioh he had been guilty. The Judge dissented from that view, and said the duty of the jury was to compensate the plaintiff, and not to fine the defendant. Mr.

Vaohell said he waa instructed to make a statement whioh might have the effect of shortening the proceedings and be repeated in public the apology whioh defendant had put on the pleadings. Mr Amphlett: Is that all you propose to do Mr. Vaohell That is all I propose to do. I oannot say more than that. The Judge Tbe only issue now is as to whether the 10 is enough.

We will try it out. Mr. J. H. Gaunt was oalled, and proved the receipt of the letter of the 8th January, addressed to him by defendant.

He showed that letter to plaintiff, who had at the time been in witness's employ for five years. Before the date of the letter, defendant had complained to witness about the character of plaintiff and another young man in witness's employ. Witness had also received anonymous letters. He did not know by whom they were written. The complaint defendant made was that Mr.

Kenme went with bad women. did not mention Miss Wilks. Cross-examined Witness did not believe the charges contained in tne letter, ana aia net think tne worse of plaintiff in consequence. He kept plaintiff in his employ'. It waa partially on witness's advice that Messrs.

Allen and JSeauchamp began the action against defendant, and also that the 10 paid into Court was not accepted. Re-examined i He gave that advice because he thought the charge was a dastardly one to make. Mrs. Elizabeth Gaunt said Miss Wilks (now defend ant's wife) never complained to her of misconduct towards ner on fur. itennie a part nelore sue left to be married.

Mr. Rennie, the plaintiff, said he was a married man, having been married nine months ago. He spoke to the receipt of the letter addressed to him on the 8th January by defendant. He showed it to Mr. Gaunt, and upon his advice he took it to Messrs.

Allen and Beau-champ. Mr. A. J. Beauohamp, solicitor, said he gave defendant no permission to use the name of Allen and Beauohamp in reference to any proceedings.

When defendant called on witness he told him that he had no business to use the name of his firm, and defendant admitted that his letter in that particular was untrue, but said he could prove all his other allegations. This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. Vaohell, for the defence, did not call any witnesses, but in explanation of hia client's conduct suggested that when a man was under tbe tender influences of the honeymoon he would be likely to be unusually jealous of hearing of any attentions that had been paid to hia wife. Mrs.

Lewis mentioned some trifling attentions paid to her by the plaintiff at the time when they were in the employ of Gaunt. Defendant, who was of an unusually jealous disposition, having jumped at a most violent conclusion, sat down and wrote that letter without farther thought about it. Such an act, how-ever, waa very different from a publio announcement of the charge. His conduct had not injured plaintiff in the estimation of his employer, and it was not a case in which the jury should give heavy damages. The Judge, in summing up to the jury, said it seemed to him that defendant's pleading, so far from being extraordinary, was very sensible.

Haying made charges he oould not support, ho withdrew them, apologised, aad paid into Court a sum of money whioh he thought amply compensated plaintiff. Tbe question of damages therefore was the only one the jury had to consider. The amount paid into Court, 10, was not an inoonsiderable sum. It was not a case in whioh there was aggravation or persistent malignity. A letter was merely sent to Mr.

Gaunt, who did not believe the charges it contained, and who did not allow it to make any difference iu his treatment of the plaintiff. The jury were proceeding to deliberate, when one of their number asked the Judge if he oould give them any idea what the expenses were likely to be. The Judge Ton are not entitled to know that. If the 10 had been taken out of when it was offered, plaintiff would have been entitled to the whole of bis costs up to that time. The only question for you ia, how much compensation plaintiff should receive.

i The jury then consulted, and having arrived at a decision said, in answer to the Judge, that they considered the 10 sufSoient compensation. Mr Vaohell then asked for judgment, whioh was given for defendant, and an order waa also made that the 10 not having been taken out of Court should remain there. Action vox. Rent. McDowall T.

The kikes Bill. The debate on tho third reading of the Crimes Bill was resumed by Mr. Bryoe, who was followed by Lord Hartington. The noble Marquis argued that the opposition to tne iiiil bad doDe too nauon or not euottfrh Mr. Gladstone's proposals of last year would have entailed greater evils upon Ireland even than coercion.

He denied that the prevalence or increase of crime was the only justification for a measure of an exceptional character, and contended that ample ground was found for this legislation in the existence of an organised tyranny which attempted to administer a law of its own. Sir W. Haroourt argued that the Laud Commissioners naa been intimidated by the House of Lords into fixing exorbitant rents and as the Government offered the tenants no remedy for this, they were justified in reaort- me to their only leintimate detence namely, com bination against the organised injustioe of the land, lords. Mr. Goschen closed tbe debate, and in the course of bis speech said tbe leading statesmen of Europe had expressed to him tbe opinion that it would be suicidal for England to adopt a Home Bole policy.

Influential Colonists had told him if Parliament had made ao dis loyal a surrender they would have ceased to believe iu tbe power of England. The House divided on the motion that the Bill be now read a third time. For the third reading 349 a gainst 262 Majority for the Government 87 The result was received with cheers and oounter cheers. MONDAY. Peers and Elections.

Sir W. Lawson oalled attention to a published statement that Lord Salisbury, Lord Botbschild, and other Conservatives, had lent their carriages to convey voters to the poll in North Paddtngton, and moved that this was an infringement of the order of the House against tne mterterenoe ot reers in elections. In tbe course of the disoussion, Mr. W. H.

Smith argued that the evidence wat insufficient to warrant the House taking any proceedings. He was not prepared to lay it down as an absolute rule that it waa not permissible tor eers to lend their carnages at elections. He moved that the House should proceel to the orders of the day. Sir Wilfred's motion was ultimately defeated by 196 to 107. The Irish Land Law Bill.

Mr. Balfour moved tbe second reading of the Irish Law Bill. In the olauaes which extended the benefits of the Land Act of 1881 to leaseholders the Government bad adopted, broadly speaking, the principles of the Bill introduced by Mr. Pamell. Other clauses were designed to pnt a stop to harsh evictions, and the Bankruptcy Clauses gave relief to cases which were not covered by Mr.

Parnell's Bill. The present Bcheme was a mere interim arrangement dealing with real evils, and would be followed by a far more sweeping measure. Mr. Campbell-Bannerman moved an amendment in favour of an inclusion of leaseholders in the benefits of the Land Act of 1881, and such a revision of the judicial rents as would meet the exigencies created by the agricultural depression. Mr.

Chamberlain would support the Bill with certain reservations, which he feared no member of the Government would be prepared to accept. The right hon. gentleman was subjected to a succession, of interruptions from tbe Irish members, which ended in the Speaker telling Mr. T. M.

Healy that he would name bim if he went on with such interruptions. Mr, Chamberlain said the amendment would destroy tbe measure, and prevent the House from doing anything dnring the present year on behalf of the tenants of Ireland. He reserved to himself absolute liberty as to the revision of rents. He hoped the Government would provide some remedy for solvent' tenants who were oalled upon to pay rents whioh were notoriously unfair and unjust. He also advised that relief should be granted to the perpetuity leaseholders.

4s to the Bankruptcy Clauses he advised the Government to drop them. The debate was adjourned on the motion of Mr. Dillon. TUESDAY. Irish Land Law Bill.

Mr. Dillon resumed the debate on Mr. Campbell-Bannerman's Amendment to the motion for the second reading of the Irish Land Law Bill. He rejected the whole of the Bill with contempt, excepting the first clause, and that clause waa so hampered by restrictions and drawbacks that the grace of the concession was almost entirely destroyed. His objection to the first clause was that it shut ont a great number of tenants from the benefits of the Act of 1881.

Mr. T. W. Russell said the main question with him was whether the Government were open to reasonable amendments. The Bill, with reasonable amendments, conld be made a great boon to the people of Ireland.

The Attorney General for Ireland, in defending the Bill, invited hon. members to suggest a means by whioh tbe danger anticipated from the landlords having the power of proceeding against their tenants by fieri facias might be averted. Mr. Shaw Lefevre declared that the tenants were entitled to remissions of rent in virtue of their being co-proprietors of their holdings. Never had such foolish proposals been laid before the House of Commons as the bankruptcy clauses.

Sir J. Gorst asked Mr. Russell to frame amendments for the committee which would carry out his ideas. Mr. Childers held that it was the duty of the Government to state what they intended to do with the objection which Mr.

Chamberlain had made to the Bill. Without such a declaration the second reading would be a mockery. The debate was adjourned on the motion of Lord R. Churchill. BUYING A WIFE.

During the hearing of an action in the Sheffield County-court on Wednesday, the plaintiff, a fish dealer, named Hall, admitted in oroes-examination that, some time ago, he purchased another man's wife for the money being spent in drink at the public-house where the bargain was made. A written agreement was put in, whioh ran At the Royal Oak, Sheffield, Abraham Bootbroyd, agree to sell my wife, Clara, to William Hall, both of Sheffield, for the sum of 5s." This was signed by Bootbroyd and Hall, and witnessed by two other men. AN ALLEGED CLERICAL IMPOSTOR On Friday, at Tarporley Polioe Court, a person who has passed under the name of the Rev. P. Manuel was charged with obtaining food, money, and the hire of a horse under false pretences.

The evidence was that he had represented to a Mr. Sheen, draper, that he was a man of property, with shares in the Union Bank of Scotland, bringing in 17 per and money in the Manchester and Liverpool Distnot Bank and further, that he had the gift of a living worth 700 a year, whioh he was intending to give to a poor curate with a large family. Enquiries had been made by Mr. Sheen, the prosecutor, who had found that he had no interest in the Union Bank of Scotland, and no money iu the Manchester and Liverpool Bank. Prisoner now said that he was not actually in holy orders, bnt that he had passed all the examinations preliminary to that step, and that these proceedings would blast his prospects.

He denied the dishonest intention, or obtaining anything through false representations- He was remanded, bail being allowed, himself in 100, and two sureties in like amount. The Magistrates' Clerk stated that he had received enquiries about the prisoner from Scotland, where he seemed to be known. To Athletes. Cadbury Cocoa contains in ocentrated or. n.

POLLARD, 1C.D., OS DR. A. SHERMAN'S RUPTURE CURB. Dr. J.

A Sherman, Broadway, New York. It is a duty we owe to one another to add our testimony in favour of anything we have found from experience haa a tendency to relieve suffering, improve health, and prolong life. This duty I new feel devolves up in me. When I called upon yen 1 was an object worthy the commiseration of ail who knew me- My muscular system wsa greatly asaaciated, aad my nervous system in a condition te afford me van little aid in the performance of those functions of life for whioh they were designed to aaiat. In short I was a burden te myself, and able to render litt assistance to my fallow-men especially in my profession.

All 'his trouble resulted from inguinal hernia, from whioh I had suff red more than eight yeira. At first it was trifling, sa.il thought I would be able to cure it with a tru-s, and pro cured it, but it only seemed to aggravate and increase the trouble, I then consulted someone of my professional brethren, and through their lecommendation procured other trusses, the use of which was ali.e unaatis'aotory. Still I persevered, each different truss being recorame ded above 1 11 others, and each seemingly a greater soarce of torment. I realised mistake and that of the faculty in recommending trusses to patients, I had no conception of the discomfort they infl ct arntal I began the u-e of th-m I do wish to recount the many diffe. ent kinds I tried, do not wish to think of them, but the misery they caused me I soall rem-mber to the end of my life.

Fortunately, in looking over a newspaper, 1 noticed your advertisement, anoed over it, and then hesitated, tbinking perhaps it was a new dodge the old truss with its train of afliotions, offered under a mo -e enticing name. However, I was a vici un of rnp ore and anxious for relief, and carefully read it over again then felt somewhat encouraged and topef al, as my experience coincided with your commendation of trasses, which, together with the absence of the usual fulsome braggadooia, decided me to give your method a trial, and th ugh bving a consi erable distanci from you, I took tbe journey, saw aad conversed with you, received your treatment, and have need it with a pleasure and benefit that it is absolute ly useless for me to undertake to describe indead my improvement in every sense of the word is wonderful, and my faith greatly strengthened in a permanent cure al the final result How, in jnstioe to humanity, from my knowledge af your treatment through what it has done for me, I shall, whenever occasion offers, reoommend it. Recently I went msiderably out of my way to see a brother i hysician in an adjoining county who, if possible, has been more terribly a filiated than myself Be was glad to learn of my improvement, and said be would call ou you as aoou as he oould arrange to leave his practice long enough to do And now, in conclusion, doctor, permit me to say that I do taost devoutly thank and every other iflueuce that determined me to call on you and use your remedies. Yours, very truly. A.

His experience as a phv siciau well ver-ed in anatomy is worthy the consideration of the most sceptical. In view of the high endorsement Dr.

Sherman has received during his long practice in the treatment of rupture, sufferers shonld avail themselves of the present opportunity of consulting him during his stay in London. A RUPTURE -UFFKRER. ABOUT DR. SBEliMAN'8 TREATMENT. Ms.

My business is that of a ship's carpenter, and I have been ruptared and compe.led to wear a truss for the piat two sty rupture was small, but I found it was in--creialag, and while at work would frequently slip under my trass, ouusing me an uneasiness that kept me in of an i.tlaok of strangulated rupture, of which my brother died only at few days iu the most dreadml agony, notwithstanding; be was attended by three eminent physicians. He trae stout auid healthy, except being ruptn ed f-r seven years, and only VI years of age.

His thoughtlessness as to the danger of rupture cost him his life. I can now say of Dr. Sherman as I aee ia hia book Dr. Pollard, one of his grateful patients, says, I can thauk God and every other inflenoe that induced me to call od him and try his treatment. London, March 16, 1887.

Witness aaid to her, I suppose that it is that half-sovereign that has done it." Witness was perf eotly sober on the night in question. Frederick Hinton, Stourport, stated that on the night of the collision he waa walking towards the station when he aaw the defendant's oart in the middle of the road going towards plaintiff's trap. Plaintiff shouted out, and directly afterwards the oart and trap came in collision.

Cross-examined It was very dark at the time of the collision, and witness oould not say how far the plaintiff's trap waa from the side of the pavement. In witness's opinion there waa ao room for plaintiff's trap to pass, as the defendant's cart was in the middle of the road. William Bibb. Stourport. said he heard a crash and ran to the spot.

Defendant's oart was lying on its left side hearing to tne right hand side of tne road. The driver of defendant's cart was fresh. Cross-examined Both men in defendant's oart were considerably hnrt. Witness received 10s. oonduot money in Mr.

Bagster presence. Corroborative evi jenoe was (riven bv Henrv Morris. Arley Kings, and Albert Jones. Stourport. the latter adding that he saw the collision, and plaintiffs cart oangnt tne lamp-post.

Robert Evans, Stourport, stated that he saw the plaintiff lying about a yard from tbe gutter, Samuel Bantam corroborated. P.C. Banks said he waa present shortly after the collision. He spoke to Milman, the driver of defendant's oart, and did not think the man was quite sober. Cross-examined Witness gave Jones, who waa with Milman, some brandy.

Dr. Mantle stated that he had attended the plaintiff from the 11th to the 14th of Feburary, during the aosence oi nr. masterman. Thomas Vale, landlord of the Swan Inn, Stourport, said after the collision the plaintiff was brought to the inn. He did not appear to have been intoxicated.

Plaintiff said that some fellow had run into him, he had Deen tnrown out ana areaatniiy out about. This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. Toung, in answer to the Judge, said he had eleven witnesses to oall for the defence. The Judge, addressing the counsel, said he should like the jury to be allowed to go, as it was important tnat tiney snoma roe note to attend to their business.

After a consultation between counsel. Mr. Tonne said he waa very happy to state that they had agreed to aoopt tne course tnat nis lorasmp bad in view. The Judge told the jury he did not like to have a dis cussion in Court on the view he waa taking, but counsel on both sides knew what he meant. If one side had not accepted the suggestion it might have prejudiced his particular case before the jury.

The suggestion, whioh they perfectly understood, was that the jory should be relieved from giving any verdiat at all, and the matter should be tried out by himself. The jury would be discharged, and be should have to bring in his person the united wisdom of twelve jurymen. It was then agreed that tbe further hearing of the case snouid be adjourned until Monday. MONDAT. Tee Kidderminster Running Down Case.

Drew v. Pain. The hearing of thia action was resumed. Mr. A.

Toung, in opening the oase for the defendant, said there would be a conflict of evidence upon the material points of tbe oase. His lordship might come to tbe conclusion that both parties were to blame but he thought he would pause for a long time before deciding that defendant's driver was solely to blame for tho collision that toot place. Plaintiff was at least guilty of contributory negligence. George Milman, Kidderminster, in the employ of defendant said on the afternoon of the day in question be had his master's cart out delivering soda water. Finally be left Stourport for Kidderminster.

He had got near the tannery, and was driving between five aud six miles an hour, when he was met by the plaintiff, who was going 12 miles an hour or more. Witness was on his proper side of the road, close to the gutter. He shouted to plaintiff, but he came on. The vehioles collided, and witness and a man named Jones, who was with him, were thrown out. The off shaft and the splash board of his cart were splintered, the springs broken, and 65 dozen bottles smashed.

Cross-examined by Mr. Darling The cart witness was driving waa struck on the off side wheel, and was turned over in the middle of the road- Plaintiff's cart, when it met him, was driving in the middle of tbe road. Witness had been to 24 publio-houses that day delivering and collecting bottles but he had only had three or four glasses of ale and waa sober when the accident happened. Witness had been told that he had been reported to the police aa being drunk that night. In July last year, witness ran over and killed a ohild when driving, and was fined for being drunk when he did it: The ooroner's jury found that the child's death waa accidental.

Witness told P.C. Danks that he believed defendant's horse in the present oase was running away, and Jones said, Don't say that or you will get no compensation." Harry Jones, a fitter's assistant, said he was with Milman at the time of the aceident. He corroborated his evidence as to the occurrence. Cross-examined Plaintiff was about six yards off when witness first saw him, and he told Milman to shout. Milman did so twice, and at the same time pulled nearer the gutter but almost immediately the collision took place.

John Middlcton, Stourport, who was in the street at the time of tbe aocident, said plaintiff was driving from 11 to 12 miles an hour, and as he went towards defendant's oart he swerved from his own side into the middle of the road. Defendant's oart was on its proper side at the time it was struck by plaintiff's trap. Cross-examined Witnees did not on the night of the accident tell a man named Blotham that plaintiff was right and Milman wrong. Witness believed tnat when plaintiff swerved into the middle of the road he had lost all control of his horse. Eliza Giles, charwoman, and Eliza Rowley, shopkeeper, corroborated.

The latter said she heard some one in the street, after the accident, remark that Milman was drunk, but she did not observe any sign of intoxication in him, though shs took him into her house and gave him some tea. Harry Starkey, of the Mitre Oak Inn, Hartlebury, who saw Milman just before the accident, stated that at that time he was quite sober. William Pain, the defendant, deposed that the damage done to his oart waa estimated at 4 and to the harness 2, while 20s. worth of bottles were smashed, and his pony waa injured to the extent of 5. The harness and oart had not been used since the accident, nor repaired.

Thia was the whole of the evideaoe and Mr. Darling having summed up, Mr. Baron Huddloeton gave judgment. If he had known there would be so much conflict of testimony, he would have preferred that tbe oase should be tried by a jury. What he had to decide was whether there was cause of action by tbe plaintiff against the defendant, or whether, under the oironms fauces, either party was entitled to recover.

Although contributory negligence did not seem to be pleaded, still it would arise if it appeared that plaintiff bad contributed to the accident, or that he might by the exercise of reasonable care have prevented. The real question would be whether either of the vehicles was being driven on the proper side of the road. Aa to the condition of the persons who were driving he believed that a great injustice had beeu dons to Milman in imputing drunkenness to him at that time. The evidence by no means satisfied him (tbe Judge) that Milman was nnder the influence of drink; on the contrary it satisfied bim that he was not under the influence of drink. On the materia part of the oaseJie held that the testimony oi plaintiff and Mr.

HfMen was balanced by that of Milman and Jones and that beinar to, ht had to ask himself what was the effect of Middle-ton's evidence for the defendant. If Middletoc's version was trae it was an explanation of the whole oase and the conclusion was that it was plaintiff's own fault that ways up bill and down, rough as well as smooth places- anr venienee in the least, and have jus- returned from a similar trip wit the same hanpy results.
