It was elicited from the individual in question, whose name is Scobic, that he was engaged to come to the colony fifteen months ago as coachman to a lady, by whom he was nominated. He was engaged at 30s a Aveek, Avith a house to live in, but left the situation some time since because he Avas required to draw coals and do other Avork, AAdiich he did not think a coachman should be called upon to perform. “Dear me,” said the Premier, “ I carted coals and other things Avhen I came to the colony, and I Avas never the Averse off for it. When you come to a ncAv country you should not be particular about dmving coals. I should have been no better off than you if I had been particular about such matters.
