Those Petitions.
We have received enquiries re the Petitions for the Removal of Women’s Disabilities. When are they to be sent in ? To whom are they to be sent ? We can give no information on the subject. We understand that Mrs Sheppard sent in her resignation as superintendent of the Legal and Parliamentary depaitment to our New Zealand President some two months since, and no notification has reached us of a fresh appointment having lieen made. Pending the appointment, the matter is of course at a standstill, save
that those in possession of petition forms may se * that they are filled with signatures, and ready for use as soon as the superintendent’s name is announced. The session of Parliament is close at hand, and if the pledge made at Convention is to be carried out, work in its behalf should now be in full
operation.
