I sent my statement showing my real and personal belongings, which inchded my Bhare in a partnership with bj brother. My brother also sent one -ring his share in partnership. We «_ claimed the LSOO exemption, but after saw time had elapsed we received a letter fata Wellington stating that a separate ton should have been sent for partner iip account; also a bill charging us on the TWe of our partnership account. On Kceiptiofthislwrote explaining that they fed not allowed the LSOO on partnership icmunt,and in reply was informed that the -owanoe was made on each private account mi that partnership accounts were charged in ML However, I wrote again, stating -tourunited private accounts (as they anddsee) did not amount to LSOO, and com bined of the treatment ; but to no effect. ite consequence was wo had to pay on our partnership account in full, simply because n considered that unity was strength, Miiot bargaining to pay taxes that we *w nofc entitled to pay, and should .ht saved had we not been partners. Surely such hardships as these should be ?*b known, and I would thank you for a little eilightenment as to how the returns staid Ie made out so that we partners (in merer small a concern) may be fairly treatd-Yours, etc., One of the Victims.

Inteligent Tests

The Principal of the College of Science and Arts, Glasgow, Prof. Jamison, A.M., Inst. C.E , F.R.S.E., writes :—" Five weeks ago I got fFom you a Waterbury Watch, and having been previously annoyed by my lever watch stopping and keeping bad time whenever I went near dynamo machines, I inserted the Waterbury Watch between the magnetic poles of a ten horse power dynamo. Of course the watch in stantly stopped, but on being started again I regulated it only twice within two days, and have found that for one whole month it did not vary two minutes from correct Greenwich time. I now prefer it to my former and much more expensive watch, and consider it an excellent timekeeper." " 'Eton House,' Biley-street. " The Waterbury Watch. Co. " Gentlemen, —I have great pleasure in bearing testimony to the exceptionally good qualities of the Waterbury Watch. For the last few weeks I have carried one of these Watches, and am now thoroughly convinced of its value as a reliable time keeper. It is not a mere toy, as the price would seem to indicate, but a strong, dur able article. As a proof of this I may state that a day or two ago I was out riding, when my horse took fright and threw me heavily against the saddle, which came in contact with the ' Waterbury' in my pocket. The violence of the concussion would h -ye broken an ordinary gold or silver watch, and of course I expected to find it smashed, but was surprised to find it had not sustained any derangement whatever. I can with confidence recommend it to all re quiring a strong, accurate watch for a little

money. " Yours faithfully, " WALTER DENGATE."

" I have carried a ' Waterbury ' for the last three weeks, and have compared it with other timepieces with the most satisfactory results. It has kept excellent time. In fact, had I given four or five pounds for an ordinary silver watch, it could not have been more accurate. In appearance it is all that can be desired, and any one ignorant of its cosfc might mistake it for an article costing 10 times as much. I would advise all those in search of a cheap, strong time keeper to purchase a Waterbury Watch. " Yours faithfully, "J. STRINGFELLOW, " Granville." " Vassar College, N. Y. " Waterbury Watch Co. "Gentlemen, — Allow me to take this opportunity of expressing my admiration for the excellence of this simple and inex pensive watch. It keeps better time than a silver watch in our house, which cost seven times as much. Each of my boys carry one of these watches with great satisfaction. — Yours very truly, " WM. B. DWIGHT, " Professor of Natural History, "Vassar College." ; Price, 13s 6d ; Post Free, 14s 3d. E. PORTER & CO., AUCKLAND.

Business Notices. mHE FOLLOWING TESTIMONIALS JL Show the Utility of LAMB'S PATENT PORRIDGE MEAL. Auckland, June U, 1887. John Lamb, Esq. Dear Sir,—lt has been on my mind for some time now to drop you a line about your Patent Porridge Meal. I believe you are aware I havo suffered considerably from injury to the stomach from tea-tasting, and having consulted my. medical adviser, he strongly renommendod Porridge for breakfast, whioh I have taken' until I heard of your Patent Porridge Meal. I may here say the Oatmtal soon caused unplea santness, sourness of the stomach, and pimples and spots, with irritation, on the surface of the body. From this I was glad to get away, and at once took to your Patent Porridge Meal. With it I find none of the irregularities com plained of above, but a most palatable Porridge, and the whole system free from unpleasantness or irritation. I can strongly recommend it. and certainly think you should do a large trade in such an excellent article.—Yours very truly, (Signed) FREDK. VTHITEHEAD. Industrial School, Kohimarama, Auckland, June 2,1887. Mr John Lamb. Sir,—We have now been using your Patent Porridge Meal at this school for two months, and I consider it but right to inform you that we all (staff as well as boys) like it so well that I would find it a difficult matter to get them to ■return to using oatmeal. It is without a cioubf, a splendid article of diet. I may add on my representing to the Education Department in Wellington that I was using your Patent Por ridge Meal instead of Oatmeal, I received authority from Rev. Mr Habons, Secretary for Education, to continue its use in the school. —Yours faithfully, (Signed) GEORGE P. HOGAN, Manager. Ponsonby, Auckland, May 30, 1887. Mr John Lamb. Dear Sir,—l think it a duty to lot you know results of your Patent Porridge Mai on our younicesj; boy. Ho was weakly, and refined every food preparation that cou d bo got, but upon yetting some of yours he took to it at once, and afterwards nothing would satisfy nirn but this porridge. Five or six times a day is not too much for him, and seeing it being1 prepared cried until he got it. Ho is now strong and healthy, and can eat anything. Wishing you success,—l remain, yours, &c, (Signed) W. CARDER. Orphan Home. Parnell, May 25,1857. Mr John Lamb: Dear Sir,—We aro greatly pleased with your Patent Porridge Meal, having usert it for some time. The children all like the Patent Porridge Meal better than anything they have had before. We thank you for supplying a long-felt want—a pure Porridge Meal, prepared so as to keep all the most valuable properties of the wheat.—l am, sir, yours truly, (Signed) E.
