He agreed to do this, and got Mr Vernon, as Manager of the Company, before he want away, to write and sign a letter of acknow- ledgement, admitting the liability.

Mr Bain had no objection whatever to this; bot he pointed out that the case had been specially set down for to-day because Mr Rollings said he intended to leave by the French mail.

The Judge asked whether Mr Rollinge would bind himself not to leave till Mr Vernon came down.

Mr Denays said they did not know when Mr Vernon might be he e: if be get other employment he would change his plans. Mr Robinge was willing to give a pro, note for $50, at one mouth, properly secured, if Mr Bain would accept this.

Mr Bain had no objection to accept this on the distinct understan ing that it did not debar him from proceeding against Vernon for the full amount of the balance.

His Lordship then entered judgment for plaintiff for $50, with time not exceedin one month to pay, costs of trial to be paid by defendant, and promissory note to be given at once, or execution to taste. This was without prejudice to any question of Vernon's liability.

His Worship said he had decided to com. mit this case for trial at the Supreme Court at the next Criminal Sessions, and, as Mr Sharp desired it, he would increase the amount of bail from $50 to $250.

In the flannel cup no construct- ed pièces of ice may be preserved many boure; all the longer if a piece of flanel from four to five inches square be used as a loose cover to the ice-cap. Cheap Ainnel with comparatively open meshes, is prefer. able, as the water easily drains through it, and the ice is thus kept dry. When good flannel with close texture is employed, a amall hole must be made in the bottom of the flannel cup, otherwise it holds the water and facilitates the melting of the ice, which is, nevertheless, preserved much longer in the naked cup or tumbler.
