But no sooner were the volumes issued than they were recalled from circulation, and Mr. Alabaster, with a public spirit which we ean rarely expect to find in a practising barrister, has done the work alf over again at the solicitation of the Govern- ment with the prospect of u other reward than the certain, but intangible, appreciation of all whose business makes possession of the Ordinances, in con. venient form, indispensable. The Hon. Mr. Hewitt on Thursday hinted at a future possibility of some remuneration, but the hesitation to make further payments on this account can be well understood-when we recollect how much the Government has already apent on this undertaking.
