CURSE OF LICENSES.
FIJI SUFFERS GREATLY. (from Our Own Corresponflent.) SUVA, December 28. the ™*f V UBg C6Untr y Euffere d from bush where no man liveth. It is a goblin this license business. The latent is one which introduces a form of license which is resented muchly i n old Britain ■ it is a license to fish, which has become law, under the new Game, Fish and Fowl Ordinance. It is quite certain that this new form of taxation will be more honoured in the breach. Talking of this, there is a law here which makes it compulsory for all Chinese and other alien firms to keep their books in English. In a. recent case it appeared that a Chinese bankrupt storekeeper had not kept any such books as were required by law; and the counsel for the creditors said that the law had been more observed in the breach.
