We observe that in the Land Transfer office the charges are further reduced by a proclamation of the Governor. They now stand as follows:—For application of grantee to bring land under the Act, ss; certificate of title where the same is issued in name of the applicant, Nil; certificate of title where the same is issued in the name of any person or persons other than the applicant, £l. This is cheap conveyancing. The great success of the Act is the probable cause of these reductions. Fiji now boasts of a Government Gazette, which is headed "Cakohau Rex." It was stated the other day at Newcastle (N. S. W.) by the Rev. Mr. Fison, a Wesleyan Missionary to Fiji, that out of a total population in the group of abont 200,000, about 105,000 are cannibals.
