BOVRIL ISN'T DEAR,

in fatt, value for value, it is one of the cheapest drinks and one of the most economical-foods that can be obtained. A cup of hot Bovril costs less than a drink of whisky, and while giving a more genuine and lasting warmth than the latter, contains, in addition, the nutritive prin- ciples of beef worth many times its cost.

Old fashioned beef teas and meat ex- tracts, whether known as stich, or disguised under

more pretentious modern names contain none of the NUTRITIVEro- perties of beef. Baron Liebig himself admitted this fact; there is not a doctor to day disputes it. Used as a nourishment. Meat Extract is probably the most ex pensive article one can buy. Bovril one of the cheapest,

TO PREVENT CROUP, EGIN in time. The first symptom is hoarseness, this is soon followed by a peculiar rough cough, which is easily recog- nized and will never be forgotton by one who has heard it. The time to act is when the child first becomes hoarse. If Cham- berlain's Cough Remedy is freely given, all tendency to croup will soon disappear. Even after the croupy cough has developed, it will prevent the attack, There is no danger in given this remedy as it contains nothing injurious. It always cures and cures quickly.

Sir H. S. Berkeley, Attorney-General, (instructed by Mr F. B. L. Bowley, Crown Solicitor) prosecuted.

VESPERATE THIEVES.

Chan Kai and Lau Sung were charged with robbery at Wongneiwa on the 28th December. Prisoners pleaded not guilty.

Sir Henry Berkeley said that the case was a very serious une, inasmuch as the robbers were armed with deadly weapons which they did not hesitate to use. A second charge of wounding with intent was preferred against Lau Sung, who had made A statement which was practically an numis- sion of the crime. He said be bad aquarrel with the complainant, and that he wont to the house to boat him, not to steal. The complainant was a gardener, and on the night in question he was lying in a matshed when he heard a suspicious poise. He believed that some people wore entering his house, so he jumped up, ran into the house and seeing two men asked, 'Brother, have you come to rob me? They answered by attacking him. First he was struck on the head with a stick. Next he was knifed in the back; and then he was thrown down un the ground, held don, and secured. Then the room n wont int his wife's room, one leing armed with a rylver.

I cannot follow Mr Osborne when he says that the goods from Europe and America would be paid for in gold, and goods from Canton in silver. He said the adjustment could be done at the rate of the day. I thought there would be no rate of the day, but that it would be a fixed thing from the 1st of January till the 31st of December. I think the issue was rather obscured, and I would like this Chamber to think over this in their votes, that if this Chamber comes to a decision which is distinctly adverse, to silver- however much that may be denied it will be to-morrow wired all over the world and give another The prisoners pleaded not guilty, and the kick to the already very much depreciated As to this being such a simple following jurors tried the case-Messrs dollar.

The prisoners were charged with baving, in the dead of night, preceding the 2nd January, burglariously entered the Diocesan Girls School, of which Miss Skipton was in charge, with Miss Hawker as her assistant; and they were further charged, or at least two of them, with having assaulted the ladies in their efforts to carry out their design of theft. Having told the story of the crime, which has been published during the magenterial investiga- tion, Sir Henry commented in a com- plimentay way upon the courageous con duct of Miss Hannah Moore, who attacked one of the robbers, and held him by the cue for a time.
