ALIEN TRADERS.
[BY TELEGRAPH.— CORRESPONDENT.] Wellington, Sunday. One interesting feature of the Small Shops and Offices Bill, which was passed by the House yesterday, lias special reference to Chinese traders. Hitherto Chinamen not naturalised in New Zealand have not been subject to the provisions of the Shops and Offices Act in regard to the legal hours of trading and so forth, and it is reported that some Celestials havetaken advantage of the fact. The Bill makes all Chinese traders subject to the law. whether they have been naturalised or not.
