We have been asked by Mr Wilfred Badger to say that, in consequence of the New Bankruptcy, Land, Labour, and other Acts having just become law, and, in order to meet the times, he has decided to give the purch isers of his

‘ Statutes ’ such of the 1892 Acts as are applicable to each book. Purchasers of the Four Books will therefore have all the General Laws of 1892 Session just closed. This being so, we think that all persons interested—and they are legion—should by their patronage and support demonstrate to Mr Badger that his enterprise shall not go unnoticed ot entail loss to him.

Some mad brained fellow, thought to be a monomaniac who has been reading 1 penny dreadfuls, ami is enacting the role of Dick Turpin, is causing a mild sensation at New Plymouth. Not long since he stuck up a toll-gate-keeper, and got several pounds in .silver from him, and subsequently bailed up a man on a country road. He has since grown bolder. Last Saturday a man, supposed to be the same one, on horseback, dressed tn an officer’s uniform, with a sword and revolver, rode up to a man, leading a horse, within 10 minutes walk of the centre of the town, and demanded his money and valuables. A watch and some small silver were surrendered. The robber rode on towards town, and a few minutes after bailed up another man, who said he was a poor man and hud no money. The highwayman said, “ Pass on ; I don’t want to rob a poor man.’’ Growing bolder,he rode right into town and stuck up another man in front ; pf a grocer’s shop, with 20 or 30 people around. This money, and was not molested. The robber remained for about a minute coolly looking at the people, and then rode off. He was pursued by a man on horseback, but escaped. The police also went in pursuit, some time after. No trace of the fellow, however, could be found. The police are puzzled over the affair. Formerly they treated the matter has a hoax, but now it is beyond dispute that some person makes periodical raids in order to gain booty.
