The report on the Bill was closured wiikout excitement, and the remaining amendments ware mently disposed of without division. The third reading has been fixed for Wednesday.

ASSAULT IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Mr. J. G. S. MacNeill, M.P., for Donegal South, (Nationalist) committed an assault on Mr. Harry Farnias (the well known caricaturist for Panch) in the lobby of the House of Commone an account of certain caricatures that, appeared -in-this-week's-Punch.—

THE KIND OF DOG HE WAS.

A coloured man once sued a neighbour for damages for the loss of his dog, which bis neighbour had killed. The defendant wished to prove that the dog was a worthless eur, for whore destruction no damages ought to be recovered.

Cross-examined --Witness remembered a sale of kerosene from the Feuphur to defendants through Mr. Michael, when the damaged part of the cargo was deducted from the whole, and the balance distributed proportionately among purchasers,

That was the custom always where the whole of a cargo was sold, whether the various contracts so provided or not. In this case the whole cargo was nct sold. Practi- cally it resulted that a buyer never knew get, Contracts sometimes stated that if there was not how much oil he was going to enough undamaged cargo, parchasers could take damaged goods with an allowance for damage, or take a smaller quantity. Some contracts made no meation of damaged cargo; some enforced acceptance of damaged cargo at reduced rates; some stipulated for a proportionate reduction of quantity delivered in case of damage.

By the Court:-The enforced acceptance of a reduced quantity was only asual when the quantity of sound goods was not enough to

meet contraCIS.

E. Jones-Hughes, braker, in partnership with Mr. Hough, said that his firm had done a large business in kerosene, as brokers only, In March, 1892, the firm arranged a contract between the Sal Ki Chan and Hewett and Co.
