The parties to the action were Mr. Lamparski, of Melchers & Co., for Lanman and Kemp, New York, and the Kwòng Sang firm of Des Vœux Road Central. The previous action was brought against the latter firm charging them with inflinging the trade-mark of Leaman and Kemp in respect of Florida Water. The Chief Justice held there was no infringement and gave judgment for the Kwong

To-day, the American firm applied for an

The Sugar Convention.

LONDON, 4th June. In the House of Commons, Mr. Villiers,

who raised the question of the Brussels Sugar

Convention, was followed by a number of Radical members who bitterly denounced the Government for prolonging the conven- tion contrary to the principles of free trade. Sir Edward Grey, in replying, said that we had to consider the political, as well as the 'economic effect of our action, and that our denunciation of the convention would have 're-acted prejudicially on our relations with other countries.

Later, Japan's Ambassador to Russia. Baron Motono, Japanese Ambassador at St. Petersburg, presented his credentials to the Tsar yesterday.
