The session’* statutes will fill'nearly 900 pages, and they will be published in two volumes. The consolidation measures represent a large proportion of the bulk, but do not account for the exceptional increase in size. The statutes of 1880 oooupy 279 pages, and those of 1881 take 369 pages, as against the nearly 900 of the late session. DUNEDIN, September 29.
