TAKING STOCK.—THE ARMS ACT.
During the week just ended, one of the detective officers connected with the Arms i Act Department of the Colonial Constabulary has been engaged taking stock of the warlike stores imported by Auckland mfrchants, so far as the present supplies on hand are concerned. The annual examination of such matters, we believe, is in accordance with the Arms Act and its amendments, and to act as a check after the contents of the different invoices is passed, as is generally the case through the books of the Atms office, in the firrft instance, and as a record in the future. The officer entrusted with the duty, we learn, has found everything satisfactory. There are other places in the province where dealers and importers in gunpowder, &c , carry on businesH, and it is, we understand, the officer's intention to make a similar examination. For the benefit of our readers and new arrivals, we may state that the Arms Act office is in tha upper offices of the late Post-office buildings, Shortland-street, adjoining Mr Halyday's upholstery show rooms.
