The case was not pressed, but the Magistrate, as a warning to others, imposed a fiae of $30 with the instructions that the fine be not col- lected if Mr. Brace immediately procured a license for the removal of the building and thus comply with the law.

Messrs. ‘lockxetr & Son are often asked to ell their ‘Myrtle Navy’ tobacco to retail dealers. They never in any case do so, and for the best of reasons. The wholesale trade of the country have a distributing machinery which handles the ‘Myrtle Navy’ without any addition to its permanent expenses. If the marufacturers were to undertake that work they would be selling to the retail trade, it would require an independent machinery, the whole cost of which wonld have to be borne \y the proceeds of the tobacco sales, and of warse it would fall on the consumer, Selling tthe wholesale trade alone, is, therefore, for the consumer’s benefit,:.nd is a convenience to the retail trate, because every traveller who pg ie grocery line—can take orders for “Myrtle Navy.’

The Liberals and Home Rule,
Lonpon, Dec. 28.
A circular was recently sont to all liberal members of the new parliament for them to state their opinions on the Irish Home Rule question.

They are in favor of confining the legislative powers of such a parliament to matters of local government the same as in Great Britain,
