pensions for retired Government employees.

Minister of Finance Eugene Cox will present two draft orders aimed at boosting the payout to pensioners who used to work for Government by between 0.5 and four percent.

Also on the cards today is a new bill aimed at taking away the power of coroner's juries to identify the person considered to be responsible in cases of murder, manslaughter and the killing of children.

The new Act -- to be presented by Legislative Affairs Minister Lois Browne Evans -- was drawn up to give accused persons a fairer deal.

Under the current system, prosecutors can bypass preliminary hearings in court if a coroner's jury named names, although the standard of proof in Coroner's Court is not as high as that required under the Criminal Code.

GRAMMARIAN WANTED GVT Grammarian wanted Wanted: one avid, bilingual, grammar-loving, high-speed reader willing to work a few thousand miles from home.

The International Labour Organisation -- based in Geneva, Switzerland -- is scouring the world for an English language proofreader.

Basic skills include a university degree in linguistics or other relevant field.

But for candidates to really show they have the right stuff they must have a "profound knowledge of English grammar'' and "complete mastery of typographical terms and rules''.

Duties involve the spell-checking, grammar-checking, syntax-checking, and terminology-checking of manuscripts, proofs, print-outs, documents, tables, illustrations, and publications.

In short -- lots and lots of reading.

Interested persons should contact the Department of Labour and Industrial Relations at 297-7654 or 297-7817.

SPEEDER BANNED AGAIN CTS Speeder banned again A 29-year-old man with 12 previous convictions for driving while disqualified was banned from driving -- again.

Carlos Rogers, of Sinky Bay Road, Southampton pleaded guilty in Magistrates' Court to giving false statements to Police, riding while disqualified, and speeding at 67 kph on January 13.

Rogers was last banned from driving in January, 1997 and was scheduled to return to the road this September.

But Senior Magistrate Will Francis banned the painter from all vehicles for one year and from motorcycles for two years.

Mr. Francis also ordered him to pay $280 for speeding at 67 kph, $500 for speeding at 75 kph, $300 for giving false information, and two fines of $300 for twice driving while disqualified.

And he imposed two suspended prison sentences of three months.

PROWLER INTERRRUPTED CRM Prowler interrupted A prowler fled empty handed after being spotted by an eagle-eyed resident in the Underhill Lane area of Pembroke on Wednesday night.
