The Minister of Justice has introduced a Bill with a grant! new oath, viz., " I swear by Almighty God, as I shall answer to God at the great day of judgment, that I will speak the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." This, if the Bill passes into law can be used by one and all instead of the customary oath, but the user will have to hold up his right hand when repeating it. Oaths should be abolished, everyone's simple statement should be taken, and punished aa for perjury if false.

The Hon. Major Steward, may his shadow never grow les?, makes another attempt to get tke poor Coroner's jury some payment for the loss of time they got put to. It is unlikely however that well paid M's.H.H. will think the poor men need remuneration, and the Bill will get shelved.

An old Wanganuite, Mr William Hutchison, an M.H. X., has during the recess, been looking into the second hnud dealer's business aud the result is a Bill to licen c e these good people. To get a license the applicant must have a character satisfactory to the local authority granting the same, much like the Sergeant at Arms must have to satisfy the House of Representatives. Then the person must have a book in which each article bought or sold must be entered. Evidently the opinion held of this class of tradespeople is not high, yet he voted straight with the Government about the Sergeant-atArms.

Messrs Gorton & Son hold a stock sale at Awahuri on Tuesday. Entries are advertised.

The N.Z. Time* getd oft' the following rebuke on the Premier for the attacks he made last week on the lute Mr Ballanco. Writing about Mr Launch's election the Times says : — As lie was cordially accepted as the Government candidate on the present occasion, and as his victory is the occ.\ ij:i of Ministerial rejoicings, we presume we shall hear no more about the evil done to the Liberal Party by that fptnous combination, of which the late Mrßallnnce was a member, and for which tin Hon John Maekeuzie did such efficient service as whip.

Last year (says the Sydney Daily Telegraph) the Victorian people paid £84 000 duty on woollen goods for the protoe'ion of seven woollen mills, employing Oi>i) hands. This means a subsidy of £'153 per annum for each woollen mill employ^, taken out of the pockets of the taxpayers who use woollen goods. These fucts are taken from the official statement of the President of the Melbourne Master Tailors.

The beef eateu in Wellington, so far as we can make out, says the Press, and in the district supplied by the Wellington butchers, is about 12,000 head per annum.

Whilst the great depression existing at Sydney at the present time, has caused a deplorable amount of misery, yet the people of Wellington and the surrounding districts will reap a gigantic benefit. During his visit to Sydney recently, Mr James Smith purchased at absurdly low prices a large stock which is now being sold at the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington.

With a view of making this sale . the event of the year, two special buyers were despatched from Te Aro House, one to ftf'ond the great sale of Edwards, Bennett & Cj\s. wholesale stock, and the other to pick out bargains from the manufactures of the welllcnown Kaiapoi Woollen Co. Both these gentlemen have returned after a most successful trip, and the total result of their efforts is to bo seen in the astonishing bargains now being sold at the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington.

With all these advantages in purchasing, _it would be strange indeed if the sale was not one to be remembered. Any attempt to enumerate eveu a tithe of the cheap lines now at the disposal of customers, would bo worse than useless in the space at our command, but a price list which has been printed will be sent, post free, to the address of any person applying to the Wholesale Drapery Warehouse, Te Aro House, Wellington.
