Through a telegraphic error, yesterday General Chaytor was stated to have said that 70,000 to 80,000 men could be raised if the occasion required them. What General Chaytor actually said was that 7000 or 8000 men could be raised. Mr T. W.

In most of these cases the man is the bigamist and the woman married unknowing that the man is an offender. At a gathering of business men at the Napier Chamber of Commerce rooms last evening Mr. F. V. Sanderson, late Inspector of Factories and Awards in Napier, was farewelled and made a presentation of a wallet of notes. The presentation was made by Mr. B. B.
