Towards the end of last week, Mr Shannon accompanied by the Collector of Custom's, Mr, T. Hil', paid a visit of inspection to the Broweries in and around Auckland; This appears to be part of a plan, for on Sunday (Jo -stables Russell and Donovan each took a oab, and in company wfth a Chstoms official visited all the hotels in tho city and suburbs, Donovan and his company taking one side, and Russell the other.
