The mails which left Wellington on the 18th August per It.M.S. Manama, via San Francisco, and the mails which left Auckland on the 16th August per R.M.S. Niagara, via Vancouver, arrived in London on the 15th and 16tli inst respectively. Lieut Stuart Seddon, who served with the British forces in France and Italy during the Great War, is expected to return to New Zealand by the Niagara next month. Mr Seddon was oe of the earliest New Zealand volunteers for active service, and was a member of the first New Zealand army to sail for Samoa, and he participated in the capture of German Samoa. After being invalided home, he recuperated, and went to England where he entered the Royal Artillery and received his commission. He had stirring times at the front serving in an anti-aircraft corps, and his service in Europe was particularly strenuous.

Mr T. E. Y. Seddon, M.P., in speaking at a cost of food meeting at Wellington last week, said that lie had noticed in the States that requests from President Wilson or other recognised leaders had a wonderful social sanction from the nation. He instanced a time when petrol was in very short supply, and the President asked the American people to give up all use of motor-cars on Sundays, so as to save the commodity. This was promptly done, and Mr Seddon found that, as he was on a mission, and obliged to travel on the Sabbath, he was continually stopped by chains of self-appointed police, who held bands across the road. He was obliged to show bis credentials in each case. Mr Seddon urged social sanction to all means as an aid to remedying shortages and other evils in New Zealand.

Last evening’s express brought over- J land to Greymouth a party of English miners. They number about 45. They left Cornwall some months ago, and were among the large party of emi- ' grants who arrived in the Dominion recently by the liner Mamari. These men came out on an understanding to work for the Consolidated Coy at Waiuta. Since arrival it is stated they have learned that at the State Mines the wages are 19s a, day,'as against 15s at Waiuta, many of them are now disposed to prefer coal-getting to gold min- ' ing. They have refused to sign any agreement to go to Waiuta at 15s a day and it is quite likely that some of them will go to the coal mines. As many as half of them speak of going to the State mines, and more to Blackball. A number, however, are likely to go to Waiuta. I

Some very scathing remarks about whisky sent into the King Country were made at the Te Kuiti Court (the “Chronicle” reports). “They had a taste of the whisky,” said counsel, “and apparently a taste was sufficient. The bulk of it was tipped out and the other bottle sent back.” “What did you do with the liquor?” a witness was asked. “We put some in a saucer to see if it would burn, njniT we tipped the rest out,” was the reply. “And what did the other mail say about the liquor?” another witness was asked. “He said he wouldn’t put it in his hoots.” Another witness said that it was “sheet lightning,” and the-Magis-trate said that apparently the liquor had been tried and found wanting. Just landed, 150 cases of choice desert and cooking apples (401 b eases, 8s to 10s, according to variety.
