TO THE EDITOR. Sir, —Through your columns might I, on behalf of the Irish Scripture Text Book Association of Dunedin, intimate that peti tions largely signed by all ranks, classes, and creeds are now coming in freely, in addition to those which are being sent to Parliament direct. And would you allow me further 10 add the following hints to those who are interested in this business : 1. It was agreed by the sub-committee of our Association that all persons (male and female) over sixteen might sign. 2. All signatures should be written in ink. 3. There ahould be no " Miss" or " Mrs" as part of a woman's signature, and no mile person should spoil the petition by " Mr " or "Esq." 4. Petitions may be sent direct through the members of the House or to the under signed. 5. In all eases petitions should receive immediate attention.—l am, etc., D. Wright, Secretary, Dunedin, July 31.
