we must say, are not without fault,
however erroneous the acts or records of
the recorder may have been. We are not

original papers, and an examination Of
the witnesses involved wouM be neces-
sary to a complete understanding of the
cases. and meet the ends of justice. if
injustice has been done.
Without passing further upon the valid
ity of the proceedings. we do find, how
ever, a grave objection to the mainte-
nance of the appeal, or the writ of GER
tiorari. The claimant urges his right to
maintain both in the following language:
And now comes Joseph Dondis, of
Rockland in said county who says that
he is the agent and general manager OF
the Knox County Bottling Works, whose
business Is that of bottlers of soda, Uno
beer, and what is known as small beers.
all Notwithstanding, at said Roekland,
and specifically claims said agent and
general manager, the right, title and
possession in the items hereinafter named
as having as said agent and general
manager right to the possession there
of at the time when the same were
seized. And the foundation of said claim
is that they were collected in from va
rious sources and places in the build
ing of said Knox County Bottling Works
for storage, from which they were seized
and that-they werestbsbe shipped when
further orders were obtained out of the
State TO their real owners thereof. and
that in said capacity he had the right
to the possession thereof at the time
when the same were seized, and that
they were taken from his lawful pos
sessions on the 10Th day of March. 1912,
from the frame building, additions
thereto, outbuldings and appurtenances
thereof occupied by said Knox County
Bottling Works as a manufactory and
storehouse. stated in the libel as a store,
and situate on the north side of Sea
street. in said Roekland. by one Frank
F. Harding, City Marshal of said Rock
land, and this claimant declares that
they were not so kept or deposited for
unlawful sale as Is alleged in the libel or
said Frank F. Harding and in the mont
ton issued thereof
The claimant discloses no direct per-
sonal interest in the liquors in question.
He says he is the manager of the Knox
County Bottling Works. and as such
manager had the right to possession or
the liquors: that the liquors were in
storage awaiting the time when, aug
mented by further orders and collections,
they should be shipped to their real own
ers outside the State.
The statute establishing the right of an
owner to make claim for liquors under
seizure, and secure their release, con-
templated a case where the real owner
should appear either personally. or by
properly authorized representative. and
make claim and produce proof sufficient
to satisfy the court having jurisdiction,

1. A petition for review will be de :

toners predicament is due to his own
fault and want of reasonable dill

2. A deed by a mortgage, not hav

fer of the mortgage Indebtedness.
8. An admission that land, of which
several parties successfully held

uncultivated, that it has never beer
fenced nor built upon, that the only
use ever made of ii has been an occa-
sional cutting of wood, that it has
never been used as a wood lot belong
ing to farm, and that there is now
nothing upon it except a growth of
wood" is not evidence that any par
ticular one of the parties ever cut any
wood, or had ever been in posses
sion.
4. Where a MORTGAGE, not shown to
be in possession, gave a warranty
deed of the premises, without a trans
fer of the mortgage Indebtedness, his
grantee and all subsequent grantees
were strangers to the title. In a real
action by those holding the mort
gagor's title against such a stranger
1t is not defense that the stranger
has a claim against an heir OF the
mortgage for a breach of his war
ranty. nor that the mortgage is in ex-
istence, undischarged, and that the
mortgage debt has not been paid.
5. A review will not. be granted CT
such an action on petition of the heir
of the n1ortga gee, who is also admin
istratrix of the estate, to enable her to
offer the mortgage and Indebtedness
in defense. The evidence would be

BETTER THAN CALOMEL
Thousands Have. Discovered
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets
are a Harmless Substitute

~ DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the substi.
tute for calomel-are mild but sure laxa-
tive. and their effect on the liver Is almost
instantaneous. They are the result of DR..
Edwards determination not to treat liver
ana bowel complaints with calomel. His
efforts to Danish it brought out these little
olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the good
that calomel does but have no bad after eff
fects. They don't injure the teeth like strong
liquids or calomel. They take hold of the
trouble and quickly correct 1t. Why cure
the liver at the expense of the teethf CAL
ome1 sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids.
It Is best not to take calomei. but to let
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets take Its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and q
disordered liver. Take DR.. Edwards Olive
Tablets when you feel"loggy,' and"heavy."'
Note how they "clear" clouded brain and
how they "perk up" the spirits. At 10c and
Csc per box. All druggists.

FUR STYLES.
Low Prices in Spite Of War.

Mr.. Edward F. Kakas of Edward F.
Kakas & Sons, the old established fur
riers of 1854 Boylston ST, Boston, are
responsible for the following interest
ing style information and good news
Of low prices on furs:
The styles have changed consider
ably this year but fortunately prices
are reasonable.
Furs are one luxurious necessity
whose prices will not be soaring this
season on account of the war.
Women's fur coats will be 80 to As
inch lengths. There will be much
more sweep at the bottom and not
drawn in nor draped as last year.
Some exclusive models shown to Il
limited extent will be very full coats
with cape effects.
In the medium priced goods the
best mode this year demands the So
called Hudson Seal and Black Caracul.
These are very good wearing furs
when Of the best quality. Care must
be exercised on that point.
The higher priced coats are mainly
OF Alaskan Seal and Persian Lamb.

The very latest thing in muffs is the
new large melon shaped model which
strikes a new note. This is a decided
novelty. Large fiat muffs in a variety
of shapes also hold their popularity
with those Of conservative tastes.
There is bewildering variety of
styles in neckpieces and every taste
can be suited in one or more models.
The small fancy shapes are very
popular.
There Is a big revival in the use of
narrow fur trimmings on suits and
cloth coats. They give a very chic
touch to the costume. These fur
trimmings should be carefully selected
for fineness, color and wearing quality.
Properly used they go far toward
completing a stunning cloth suit or

land Police Court.
Hanson, j. These cases are before the

the order of the police court of the City
of Rockiand condemuing certain liquors
described in the libel, in which the
claimant attacks the validity of the
warrant, libel and monition, and the
jurisdiction of the court.
The second case is based upon errors
claimed 10 exist in the record below,
and the writ was issued upon the as
sumption that the errors assigned In the
petition, existed in fact, and that the
petitioner was entitled to relief.
The record presents two alleged records
of the Rockland Police Court in a search
and seizure process, and a libel and NOM
ton growing out of the same. The first
record is that of the recorder of that
court who issued the warrant and libel,
assuming to act under authority of the
act creating that court.
The other record is furnished by the
Judge of that court, and is Inconsistent
with and in some respects a denial OF the
truth of the record made by the recorder,
and counsel for the claimant relies to a
great extent on the record and state
ments of the Judge to sustain his conten-
tons in both cases.
While 1t is the stated purpose Of the
report to determine all matters in dispute
in these cases, and the desire of the
court as we'll to end litigation, we are con-
fronted at the outset by serious chal-
lenge of the truth Of the original record.
