Our readers will notice that on page 5 there appears an advertisement by Mr. Henry Wilding, of Auckland, who has a reputation for finding lost friends, and sometimes foes. He can be relied upon to procure any information that may be required, and as to collecting money from unwilling or rettiring debtors, he holds the record.
