shocks than the admission this week hy a Minister of the Government that in order to deal with the tor mendous illicit traffic in diamonds found in Namaqualand, it had been decided to appoint busers of illicit stones and to protect them from prosecution in order that these stones might be bought back by the Government and the diamond mar ket prevented from clumping.

Time and time again diamonds which could have been found in no other place than Namaqualand have appeared among those offered for sale at Lichtenburg and other of the numerous alluvial diggings.
