The Attorney General's Law Practitioners Act Amendment.Bill propose* to repeal the existing leg'station, ■ which provides that- a ; solicitor may be admitted without further examination to practise as a barrister aft,er he had practised five years as a solicitor, or as the managing clerk of a solicitor. The repeal has been' requested not, only by the Law Society, but also by the University of New Zealand, on account of the detrimental effect upon the standard of legal education in the Dominion. A clause is included in the Bill to save the rights of solicitors ■who have been admitted as such since the passing of the Act of 1898.

Coltman, watchmaker . and jeweller, of Waimate, returned yesterday from a visit, to Auckland. - As a'result of his visit Mr Coltman has determined .to shift his quarters, and open a business in the northern city. Mr Coltman is; much impressed -with the present condition and the futnre prospects of Auckland. A Wellington paper says that- on Wednesday the Hon. W. Hall-Jones (who was looking remarkably well) made life first speech of the session, and consequently his first parliamentary speech since, his return. His remarks were in reply to members who had expressed " dissatisfaction at his replies to theirrequSss for railwav and public works concessions and improvements, and were generally, a defence of the Department's policy. He . came sharply into conflict with Mr Baume (Auckland), taking exception to some remarks of that - member regarding Auckland's neglect. He said Mr Baume had stacked him in an " uninanner'.y" way. Mr Baume expressed' himself -at a less to understand how lie had been unmannerly. He hoped he would always conduct- himself, as he always had done, in a proper manner in the House. Yet he would not fail to do his duty to'his constituents. Mr Massey also complained that the Minister, had misrepresented him during his speech.

Does this not show wonderful speed and relia,bility for a 6mall runabout car. As . for good wear the first 10 h.p. Darraoq which was sold 2 years ago to a /well known Waimate farmer .was overhauled lately, and the owner will prove that not a 6d part was replaced, as not a sign of wear was found anywhere. Again we repeat that the Darracq and De Dion stand alone *nd are unsurpassed. ...
