It is not true that Mr William G-arrett, of the firm of Garrett Bros., Wakefield-street, is in training to emulate the celebrated fasting man, Dr Tanner. Mr Garrett is merely hunting up the pedigree of the wonderful man as he believes he is distantly related to the family. Well,a Tanner is near akin to a shoema7i:er. His researches so far have resulted in discovering that his fcinsman is mentioned in Holy Writ in' 43rd verse, chapter 9, Acts of the Apostles. He reads " and it come to pass that he tarried many days with one Simon A. Tanner." The tannery of this large firm is at the Whau, but the boot and shoe factory is in Wafcefield-street.
