FOLLOWING HIM UP.

The strange story of a publican who has had his license taken from him three imes, through no fault of his own, is told by a gentleman who recently visited the South Island. The hotelkeeper in question was in business in Ashburton, when he was closed up by the carrying of no-license. He moved to Invercargill and started again; but once again was deprived of his license in the same way. Woodlands was the next town he took a hotel in, and here for a time all went well. The Representation Commission got to work, however, and altered the boundaries down there, and now he finds himself in the Mataura district, another no-license region. This means that he will be closed up again as soon as the present license expires.
