notes and' COMMENTS.
During the past week we have been endeavouring to find out what authority Mr. Huon McCallum, Secretary to the remains of the Sanitary Board, had for is uing the subjoined hair-raising order to the Inspectors of Naisances employed by the Sanitary Board:-
"It has been decided that every Inspec- tors of Nulsances has to study the Chinese language, providing their own teachers. The Regulations for members of the Police Force are to apply to the Inspectors of the Sanitary Board"
When it is known that this decree was Issued early this month and that several of the Inspectors in question have been upwards of a decade in the service, are well up in years, and draw beggarly salaries, the unreasonabless of this precious mandate becomes apparent. By what authority, un- der the provisions of what laws of the Medes and Persians or any other laws, has Mr. McCALLUM to enforce such an irksome and manifestly harsh decrea? Presumably he has received authority from some one, but we doubt very much whether it has yet been brought to the notice of his Excellency the Governor. If not, we sincerely hope that Sir WILLIAM ROBINSON will cause a searching Investigation to be made into the whole matter.
The members of the Police Force are, wo belleve, provided with teachers. Then, in heaven's name, why not, if it is really necessary to put this order into force, provide teachers for the Sanitary Inspectors? What is sauce for the goose Is sauce for the gander, and there can be no justification for making fish of one branch of the Service and flesh of another.

THE Peak chair-coolies seem to be acqolding a bad reputation lately. Some days ago a mót, of private conlies assaulted a lot of pubile coolles, and were arrested and taken before the Police Magistrate. Upon their first appearance they were remanded, and released on ball. On their way to their employer's house they were set upon by the public coolles, wip probably imagined they had got off, and severely beaten. Several of these coolies were arrested, and they la tura remanded. The fear private cooles, upon the were brought up at the Police Court, and case being brought up for heating, were sentenced to terms of imprisonment."'This morning the public coolies were before the Maglairate agale, but the hearing of their case was remanded In order to allow counsel, who had just been engaged on both sides, to master the details of
the affair.

A VERY unfortunate error was made in the Summary Court list of Extares published in our last Issue under the head-line "Legal. Intel- ligence." In that list the name of S. A. Seth appears as defendant In
salt brought to recover $300 odd. All who have the pleasure of Mr. 9. A, Seth's"acquaintance know only too woll that this could not possibly be so. As a matter of fact the case refers simply to an inter- pleadas summons in which Mr. A. Seth is con- cerned as Official Receiver. That, however, is no reason why Mr. Seth's name should have appeared in the list, for as his connection with the sult is solely of an official nature the delen. dant in the suit should have been set down as Official Receiver. We avall ourselves of this opportunity to make this correction, and at the same time apologies to the two gentlemen whom the error may not unreasonably have annoyed | to no small extent.

As you land and mines near the Rockland River, N.S.W. The plan of the property, particularly referred to is before you. I have personally spected the property in company with a
log expert whom I have known 40 years and in whom I have the greatest rellaace. I am sure that you have a splendid property from the start, and that it will be best for you to develop it. I may say that I have already engaged the services of reliable mea, one of whom has been proved by myself in this past 40 years, and another whom I shall secure office, another whom I have known for the for myself as soon as his present engagement is completed. With this staff at my disposa! I am Toro I shall be able to develop your property to the best advantage, and | you can decide what you are going to do with

The a. property at the present moment, without the machinery one very valuable, but it has machinery it which is worth nearly the amount paid for it, and this is let so that we have no trouble with it and receive profit. This is let for sum which returns a good interest on the present small capital, say about 12 per cent. so that even on the present lines you have à fally good forestment without doing any more. should think that when this land comes to be worked by people who understand how to do it, without wasting any money and without losing their heads, you will find you have one of the most valuable mining properties in New South Wales. If you then carn to selit you can secare s very good sum. I think at present the best way will be to develop it economically, in the way any miser who expected to earn his ilving off it would go to work on it. Condacted to this way think we shall before long realise good thing from eur purchase. A large amount of gold has been taken off the land some ad years ago, close to the surface, but requires capital to work when you go some little distance below the surface, because there is so much water leakage from the Rockland River, as soon as you sink shafts below its level. - I may conclude by saying that you have a very good water supply; I may say almost too con- derable supply. I shall be pleased to answer any questions if it is in my power.
