Two adjudicators were appointed to examine tho matter, namely Messrs. W. J. B. Trewin, barrister and ex-Mayor, and H. Mclntyre, M.A., LL.B.

It is also stated that practically all the members of the Ministry will be returned, and some without a second ballot, tho Hon 11. McKenzie being among the latter. But of course there is always a diversity of opinion on those matters. Wo are pleased, however, to say that there is no doubt whatever that Lock, the Universal Provider, has far and away the largest and most up-to-date stock in tho Nelson district, and one of the best furniture displays in the Dominion. An inspection of his extensive warehouse will prove this.. Everybody is also unanimons that Lock offers the best value iv genoral house furnituro, pianos, organs, sewing machines, ranges, go-carts, prams, linos—in fact everything to completely equip the .home. "Go tn Lock's' 1 has become ahousehold word.
