Ov< r one hundred men goto Lyttelton to work in stores and Anderson's foundry and other places every morning. Surely authori ties here must be making mistake in refusing tickets to thoa men. Sixty men goto Islington. 'I hese tire also refused.

As an example—A honae for which a tenant pays 7s per week could in all probabil ty be purchased for £160. This, by keeping the weekly rental paid for 14 years, would leave the properly fully paid for; while if a tenant remains in the name house for the same time without acquiring the fie - hold, and continues to pay tbe 7s per week rental, at the end of that time he will not own one foot of the timber ot which the house is bnilb. The following are a few of the Proper ties I have on try books for sale : — A comfortable Dwelling, sitnate in Burnett Street, the property of Mr Juhn Newman, together with J acre ot laud, planted with fruk trees.
