TRAMP THROUGH COUNTRY A. middle-aged man, whose name is believed to ho Hurst, died suddenly, at a To Ivuiti boarding house on Monday. Little is known of him except that he tramped from Hamilton to To Ivuiti on Sunday. Deceased is believed to be identical with a mail named Hurst who passed through Hamilton on Saturday. Hurst stated lie was a. Yorkshireman, ami had come to New Zealand for health reasons. He said ho was a chartered accountant and had 'been employed in this capacity at Sheffield. He was at one tinio a prominent cricketer. Hurst is believed to have been an officer in tho Durham Light Infantry.

lie is acting as agent of any company, firm or person and produces written authority to offer shares; and, secondly, in the case of shares offered for subscription if he delivers a prospectus complying with the requirements' of the Act. Replying to points raised during the discussion on the short title of the bill, .the Rt. lion. J. G. Coates said that ho thought it would bo dangerous to attempt to amend the bill without a most careful scrutiny of what they were doing. lie had received a large amount of correspondence on the bill and representations had also been made to him by members. lie had sent all these proposals on to the law draughtsman, who, in turn, was submitting them to the committee which had drawn, up the bill. The committee would give the various suggestions careful consideration, and, if it thought amendments were desired, the bill could be re-committed. It was obvious that the legislation would require further amendments during the next year or so in order to make it as workable .as possible. On the question of qualification of auditors, various societies concerned, including the Certified Accountants’ Association, had come to an agreement and the amendments he was introducing followed the lines of that agreement. Progress was reported on the bill alter 53 out of a total of 584 clauses had been passed. ■ ■
