abundant la Sydney harbor th&t several boat loads were taken with one haul of the seine, and tbe fish could be purchased on the gpot for 6d a bußhel. Captain Fairohlld states that they are particularly abundant about Oook Strait, in New Zealand. In Dunedin waters they are most plentiful daring the months of October and November, large ehoala being teen in the lower harbour for several days together, when, of courss, large number* are t;ken with the S3!na net. When cooked the flesh is whi c as snow and of tbe most delicicua flavor. Towards the end of February, 1888, it was our privilege to witneeß an immense shoal^ of garfish pureuad by mutton birds in Wa'kawa Bay. It was blowing a fair breeze from the ■oath at the thus, and tbe tide waa hJ£ ebb. From a distance of about half a mile, as they first o >me ioto eight, the mutton birds could be eeeu sweeping »onnd in eddying flight, hovering ovet the harraased garfish, while the barracoota itlrred them up from below. With a grand sweep the giddy, wheeling flight < f mutton birds came on, roon^ tbe long point wbich forma 1 a good breakwater at the southern end of tbe bay, and drove the terrified shoal of fish close in to the be«oh. At a d stance of scarcely SOOjds we could see the splash, splash of the birds as they Parted down upon the fish, and hear the rush of their winge aa they swept round and .round. At times there was difficulty In dietiogutshing the general surroundings of the tesDe of btttle, bo grest waa the con fuston earned by the wheeling flight of birdstn the air, the struggling mass on the water swallowing the fish they had captured, and tbe splashing of the leaping fish In their attempt to e«oape the com bined attaok of barracoota and muttou birds. Daring ODe great rash the shoal wti driven quite (n shorn, and numbers were stranded among the rocks Tbe movements of the pursuing bfr U indicated the corresponding movements of the gar fiib, and the euormons body of mutton birds, whloh In all likelihood followed the ihoal op from the straight, gave some oonoeptlon of the size of the shoal, numbering In all probability millions of theae fioe fiih. The fish strnoded were of all tit 31, from that of a whitebait to the fall grown garfish. After about an boil's time tbe shoal left the bay and disappeared round the north head, ■till pursued by the mutton birds. Not enough Is known of the occurrence of this delicate fiih on our ooasts to indlcite how or when It oould be most sucoeßifaUv •aptnred. Oould some of the off-ooast ■hoali be encountered with boats and large drift nets, tons of the fish could be •eoored at a single haul.

A GUDE CONCEIT O' HIMSEL.

Cicis Bays that a leading artiole in. the tfetton '•Golmist" backing up Bishop fcntar's claim to the Primacy is bo theo logloal. fofccriptaral, so ;a v. In its quota, tlon of tezta and its refeeoces to 'the original Greek," »B to raise the auapic'on that It mast have betn "inspired," if not actually indited, by Biatiop Buter himself. He gives the followiog extract from the article as a gem in the way of tix example of episcopal modesty :— 11 If people w'll persist io laying undue atrets upon a aynodlcat election to the primacy, it may be remarked that the 10 apoatfes one 3 met in courcil to elect to a vacant apostleehlp. The ten apostles appointed two, and prayed that God might uhow which of thesa two He had ohoien. The lot fell upon Matthias and he was numbered with the 11 apost'es. Never in Boly Bcipturea do we r ad of him again. We read of one, howover, who by the Providence of God was called iothe apoßtolio office. Was tt Paul or St Matthias the more akuodaot in labors ? Let sacred Btory, and the thoughts and doctrine,of the Churoh for 19 cmtnrieo, answer. Therefore, Lord Bishopa, Doaos, Arcbdeaconß, and olhera have got to learn that ia God's eoDomy there may be aomethiog higher and better than even an eccleaiaßtical election."

Bishop Snter, obaerve (remarks tbe •ritic), corresponds to H Paal, who was called directly by Providence, aad so became the very ohiaf of the apoatles. Bishop finter'a opponent, on the o'her hand, answers to tit Matthia3, who, being merely elected by mert, sinks into obscurity, and is Beyer heerd of s^ain. Bee what it is to "hae a gade concsit o' ouißaVe" 1

ALLEGED PERJCBY, Alex. Turner was charged with having commit led perjary, iaasmnoh as on the 16th day of Augmt, 1889, in the course of his examination ou oath before the Deputy Official Assignee for the Ashbur ton District, he swore that " the same dray aod same McCormiok reapar and binder that he (referr;ng to Mr David Thomas) valued are now in Mr Thomas* yard," well knowing that the dray in Mr Thomas's yard on the 16 h August, 1889, was not the dray that bad bean valued by Mr Thomas. —Mr Corr appea e3 for Turner, and asked for a remand for t. faw days, aa he had only been consulted a few mine tes before the oase had been called. Mrßasiell, for tin prosecution, was unwilling to tie the hands of his learned friend In any way, bat the oase wib a very simple one, and an hour's ad journment he thought "hould be somalent for Mr Corr's purpoie. A number of witnesses had appeared, and an adjourn | meat for a few days would put them to tbe inconvenience of again b a vine to come |to Ashbarton. The Bench did not think tbe going on with the oase would prejudice the caae against the accused, and deoided to proceed. Mr Rassell after opening the case c»lled—J. O. Ball, Deputy Official Aiaignse, nho produced bis ap pointment. Held an examination of A 1 ex. Turner on the 16th August, as Offiolal Assignee* Acoosed was sworn by wtmees apon tbeß ble. Th 9 o«th wee as foil-we: — •'The evidenoe you shall give in th I examlnatloo shall be tbe truth, tbe whole t'U'h v and nothing but the truth, go belp your God," The evidence given by Turner was pat in writing. (Witness read the whole of the evidence taken by him •t the examination, and Mr Russell put in tbe minute book as evidence,—J. B, Colje: tJlerk to the Ooatt. gave formal evidence with referenoe to Tamer's fiing a petition in bankruptcy.—David Tor rma, auctioneer, deposed that io October 1887, Tamer called on him severnl times, iorner then had a farm at the Spread eagle, and another at Tlnwald lie called upon witness to get a valuation m»de of bis live aod dead stoolr, ac he wanted to raise money on it. Witness made th* valuation during tbe latver end of the month of Ootcbar 1887- The bulk of the things were at the Tinwtld farm, Tamer himself pointed tbe things out to witness. There wero uaveral drays In the jard. There was a new oray standing under the fence close to the houao, Turner took htm to this d?ay. Tbe dray was a Held tnd.G.-ay, and Tamer said be bad pu chaßed tbe dray from that tltu Turner took wiine^s to this dray aud afterwards oacceedod in ge.ttiog gome money on Us (witneße) valuation We apeat, for the Finance Comp&ny, who advanced tbe mocey.

Th) new Reid and Gray dray wh'ch wltnes? valued waa iiot brought In but another one came in Its ateid. The dray brought In was au old ram ebaokle tbl g, about 15 years eld, and was not even of tbe same make. It was by Bold end Grsy, Timarn, and of an old style,-- The old dray was brought In with the other goods abou v > three weeks before the sale wbloh took p'aoe on the 19th August. Declined to sell tbe dray, which bad been in wltneeß'a yard eve? sloce, acd was In his yard on 16 h Aaguat. The dtay now io the yard was the one Turner swore witness bad valued, When the <?ray was brought In had a convarsat^on with Tornar. Told him it was not the dray that witness bad valued, but a dray that was at least 15 yean old. Acoassd s'uok to It tbet it was. flad several sub sequent talks with Tamer about the dray, telling him always that he might get Into trouble If he did not bring the proper dray btok. Told him he had found out where the dray was—that It was la Tait's possession at Westerfield. Tomer said " Weil, I did pay ior that driy," «nd confessed that Taitjbad the dray he valued. Ha 3no doubt whatever about the dray fn witneee' yard not btlng thu one he valued.-Albert W. Wblaker, law clerk la Mr Eestell's office, knew accused.
