A Napier exchange thus writes upon the sale of adulterated intoxicating drinks : —-" We maintain that the Government is as much bound to protect the public in the matter of alcoholic drinks as it is in the weights and measures of groceries and bread ; and this being granted, so long as the Government neglects taking measures to ensure the retailing of harmlessly adulterated alcohol, so long is it responsible for the disastrous consequences resulting from the sale of poisonous drink." The report of the directors of the Perseverance Groldmining Company, Collingwood, states that although tenders for taking the mine on tribute were called for at the Thames-, and on the West Coast no offer has been received It is said that Mr BrOgden may be expected in New Zealand again before and that the firm will propose a scheme for working all his railways in the colony through the agency of English capitalists.
