TIMBER, TIMBER. HPHE undersigned begs to inform the Public of -*- Auckland, that having received from the Bush a good supply of the very best Kauri Logs, he will be happy to receive any orders at the Pits formerly occupied by Canty and Bishop, in Freemans Bay, where he will, with dispatch and punctuality, cut any description of Botrds^ Scantlings, or Timber required, at the cheapest pos. sible price. He need not remind Builders of the great advantages of Timber thus cut and free from the sand and dirt, the necessary concomitant of that brought in vessels and rafted from the Coast. James McLeod.
