It was re solved : " That as the debtor had incurred debts in Wellington without any hope of paying them, his discharge bo opposed."

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The totalisator has at last found its way into tho Supreme Couit,and Mr Justice Johnston has ruled that any private person acting pre cisely as the totalisator acts is guilty of a breach of the Gaming and Lotteries Act, and is punishable under the law. The matter came beforo His Honor in an appeal from a decision of the Christchurch Resident Magistrate, who had fined a bookmaker named Porter the Eum of £25 for offering the totalisator edds on the racecourse. Air Justice John ston, in sustaining the conviction, pointed out that the totaiit-ator itself is declared by the 85th section of the Gaming Act within the meaning of the Act, unless used in. conformity with the Act. He had no doubt whatever tbat tbe appellant's scheme, which had all the elements of chance which the totalisator bad, was a scheme for gaining a prize by a mode of cfiance, and the license to use the totalisator game could not be invoked as legalising the scheme referred to. This is a clear declaration by the Supreme Court that the totalisator is a gambling instrument which the law tolerates under certain specified conditions, and that for anyone else to do what the keeper of the totalisator does' exposes him to fines and imprison: ment In the face of such a decision it is difficult to see how the totalisator can be upheld. To declare anything immoral and illegal, when done by.one member of the community, to be perfectly' legal when done by another, is too violent an outrage on the first principles of English law and justice to be defended.

Sir William Fitzherbert has obtained the: coveted honour of being permitted to Bit iri the Imperial Conference as a representative of New Zealand, but it is accorded in euch a back handed way that he, hardly relishes it. However, i c ia prepared to swallow., dignity and go "without-prejudice" to others who naay.be formally appointed to represent New Zealand in conjunction with tho Agent-General, , The "Post;" which first pressed " the Sturdy Beggar." claimß to this particular office, gives forth the foil"'_ing wail. ':■ — ""Thank yon for nothing,'' was what -ie Wm. Fitzherbert probably though!, if he did not say it, when the .overnment in formed him that if he should cbance to. be in London ' promiscuous like' while the Cot-ioreiice is sitting, they would be glad if ' he would act as a New Zealand ropieseota- * tive thereat. If the Government did not see their way to sending Sir Wm. Fitzherbert to England officially they would have done better to have said noth ing to him about the Conferenco. The oiler they have made is an exceed n^tyin.a.one and can certainly not- be regarded as a compliment, if indeed, it might not ba taken as exactly the reverse. If in Loudon, Sir W. Fitzher bert's position would undoubtedly entitle him to a place amongst, any assemblage cf colonial -.t-te.tutii, and it the Govurment of New Zealand hed neglected to ask him-to..till that p.'ace, we have veiy little doubt' that the Secretary of ttale for the Colonies would have invited ;' him to give tho colonies the benefit of his wisdom and experience. As jwe have said, however, Sir William Fitz | heibert, although he has no ieasim i to be grateful for the mean and paltry pro j posal now made to him, will probably, I under sense of public duty, accept it." i Really, Sir William might have -spared I bitiiself any tortuie to bis feelings ou the j ground ot "public duty" in this matter. i The public recognise no duty at all so far ias he i< cjticoinid. Sir William, it ap pear.., meditated a trip to the 0!d Country, and thought it would be a, good it ing to go Homo aM he accredited representative .of f._w.Z«a!and.. He got the; "Post" to throw, out.tboh.nt.. The Ministry bad no • wuh to offend him, nor to alienate the support of his sonin the House, and there-, i fore tho Government gave him a sort of ! credential, for which he ought to feel very grateful. Sir William Fitssherbert is not, and never was, anything moro than a purely Wellington man. To put him forward as a representative of New Zealand is rather more than the colonial stomach could stand, and the Government have acted wisely io not trying it on.
