The name of Theodore Brown is to be added to the list of defaulting consulta tionists. Our Auckland agent wires us as follows: “Theodore Brown bad mark; stop his consultation advertisement.” It is not our business to refuse advertisements whether from consnltationists or other per sons, but we connot too strongly caution in vestors in the little game against parting with their money before they are satisfied of the bona tides of the promoter. The Tuapeka County Council, at its last meeting, resolved to write to the Govern ment, asking them to undertake tie con struction of the Beaumont bridge, on ac count of the county being deprived of revenue depended upon for this and other important works. We scarcely expect Tuapeka to receive a favorable reply when Vincent County was refused assistance in aid of the Alexandra bridge. However, we shall see.
