FATE OF THE LICENSING BILL

STILL IN DOUBT. (Bx TnjKUtiPH.) (From Odb Pablumknxabi Repostib.) WELLINGTON. July 24. One prominent No-license member of the House states that his party, encouraged by the success in carrying the second reading, will make an endeavour to pass it into law. Much, of course, depends upon the nature of the amendments to be moved. Even if the Bill should get through Committee it still has to face the ordeal of the third reading stage. Responsible members of the No-license party, on this account, will deprecate any attempt to secure an amendment providing for the bare majority, as if passed it would probably lead to the rejection of the Bill on the third reading. They state that if the Bill is carried in its present form they think it is about as much as can be expected from the present Parliament. It appears that two members who bad been expected to vote against the Bill on the second reading voted for the Bill, but one member who was expected to support it unexpectedly went into the "nfes" lobby. It is rumoured that two or three members who supported the Bill on second reading will not give it further support

ss-ss-aesssv A Sumner fisherman has had exceptional luck during the last fortnight. On four days (the Lyttelton Times says) be went out with crayfish pots. On June 29 he caught sacks full, on June 30 one and a-quart-er sacks, on July 1 two sacks, and on July 3 he brought in two sacks, making a total of ninety-four dozen crayfish for the week. On July 5 he went out early with his lines to the favourite fishing ground, about three miles off the coast. By midday he had caught nothing, and, after shifting his ground three times he came close in shore. Here he found the cod plentiful, and in three-quarters of an hour he had secured six and a-half dozen fine fish. On Tuesday, in company with two other boats, from the same spot, eighteen dosen cod were brought ashore; he himself caught five and a-half dozen in an hour and a-half. The chief com-1 Elaint among.the fishermen is that, though sh of all sorts are so expensive to buy, the price offered the fishermen hardly pays for transport. And.yet the consumer has to pay a very high price indeed for fish. Fortunes have been lost, to ingenious men simply because they did not adequately protect their ideas. But no inventor in New Zealand need suffer loss if he reads carefully the "Guide" published by Messrs Baldwin and Rayward, Patent Attorneys.
