The Convict Chemist.

PER TRESS ASSOCIATION.

Wellington, September 18. A deputation, composed of eighteen members of the House of Representatives and six Italian residence of Wellington, waited on the Premier this afternoon with reference 1 to the case of the convict Louis Ohemia. Mr 0. H. Mills introduced the deputa tion, one of whom read a statement containing an analysis of the evidence submitted at Ohemiß'trial. They urged that Government should carefully con sider the petitioner's case, and contended that the Crown had never proved Chemis guilty, and a gross miscarriage of justice had occurred, which might have been obviated if a criminal Court of Appeal had been established ia New Zealand. An apology was made for the absence of Mr G. F. Richardson, who, it was pointed out, felt very strongly that Chemis was an innocent man, ' Mr Fish declared that the verdict was not justified by the evidence, and the prosecution had been carried out on extraordinary lines. Mr Thompson said he had carefully and closely studied Chemia' demeanour^, while the latter was in Auckland gaol, and he now had grave doubts as to his guilt. Mr McLean thought the man should get the benefit of the doubt. Messrs J. W. Kelly and E. M. Smith, as members j of the A. to L. Petitions Committee, which considered Chemis case last year, were thoroughly convinced of the con vict's innocence. Messrs Hall-Jones, Tanner, W. Hut chison, Houston, Hogg, W. Kelly, Laury, Pratt and Taylor also spoke. They asked not for mercy or clemency, but urged that a complete and exhaustive enquiry should be made into the whole case. Me George Fisher, Italian Consul, pointed out that the case was so surrounded with doubts that che late Governor had no difficulty in deciding to commute the death sentence. The Premier, in reply, said the matter was one of serious moment. The petition reflected credit on those concerned in its preparation, and Government would deal with it in Cabinet, Government would fully prove the matter, He'pointed out that if an Appeal Court for criminal cases had existed in the colony there would have been no cause for the dissatisfaction which had arisen in connection with this case, and he felt that the sooner the law was altered in this respect the better it would be. Mr Seddon remarked that Government would be hampered in this matter, in that it would be sail that poli tical pressure had been brought to bear on th^m, and for thai: he rather regretted the deputation had included so many members of the House. He would have preferred to have met the Italian resident* alone. Referring to the trial cf Chemis, he denied the Crown Prosecutor had departed from hfs usual course in connec? tion with the case,

Be wise and purchase a House and Section by instalment of payment that you will not feel the loss of. Saving leads to wealth ; yet many people go on paying house rent all their lives, and are either unaware how easily thej may become house owners instead of rent payers, or singularly neglectful of such opportunities as F.

Anyone la active employmet of any kind can save enough to pay the instalment by cutting down expenses. Wha many spend in cigars and beer, horse-racing and cards, would buy a House anu Section. Don't hesitate because your earnings are small; make your expenses onl a little less than now. Many will be ready to take It off your hauds at a profit.
