WELLINGTON NOTES.

(By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.)

WELLINGTON, this day.

Owing- to the difficulty of securing ! the services of competent veterinary surgeous for the colony, the Government have in contemplation the establishment of a college for the training of candidates. After six months in the institution they would go through a course at the medical school to be followed by a course of bacteriology and another term in the laboratory under the chief veterinarian, concluding with a course of field training outside. THE PIERARD CASE. The local papers are demanding the immolation of a victim in connection with the miscarriage of justice in the Pierard case, which is just now occupying a good deal of space in the dailies.. The "Post"' thinks the wrath of the public should fall upon the Crown law officers, while the "Times" suggests that as a pre~ . liminary step Mr Bell, the Crown Prosecutor, should be gibbetted. MINISTERS MOVEMENTS. The Hon. C. H. Mills will be absent from Wellington for a few days . while attending the marriage of his eldest son. The Premier left for Christchureh • this evening to attend the agricul- j viral show and to make arrangements as Defence Minister for the grand volunteer parade at Haglejr Park, which he desires to eclipse the Commonwealtli muster at Fleming •ton. , ■ ■ :
