The Impeachment of the Prime Minis ter, the Minister of Lands, and Messrs. Saunders and Moorehouse, M.H.E.’s.

A petition, said. to -be- signed by 500 people, has been pi’eis‘erited‘to Parliament. It is a most extraordinary indictment, and contains ‘‘ articles of ifiipeachment against William Seftoii 'Moorehouse, John’ Hall, William Rolleston, and Alfred Saunders, being Members’ of the 'House of-Represen tatives of ; ,New, Zealand. ” . The first article, inter alia,” says—“ Yet it happened that the said Governor Gore Bib wri—being corruptly instigated thereto by one Sefton ,Moorehouse, as member of the Canterbury ‘ -Provincial .Council and

Superintendant of, Canterbury ; also by one John Hall, as a runholder arid member of the aforesaid Provincial Council—did break r theJJEtpya.l .' Instructions,, and; the ConstitUtioiP J Aet ; -for the 1 -personal and

indirect profit of the said instigators in the following* mariner, - 'viz i— Without authority of Parliament they did procure an advertiSifiSnt called - d Waste Lands

Regulations,’ to be brought into force by inserfidn in/the ’.Gazette: on ; the < 9th. February, 1853, whereby they and their friendsandi irelatives^o. directly and in directly, were enabled to appropriate without payment the waste lands of the Crown, to sell the said lands without a law passed in Parliament, and in flat violation of Her Majesty Queen Victoria’s Royal Instruction, No. 6. Article No. 2 ‘inter alia’ declares that William Rolleston,-as Superintendant of Canterbury, did allow the trustees of certain foreign land jobbing and money lending companies to be appointed on the Wastelands Board, arid,;did allow them to manipulate the land laws to the profit of their own companies, and of their friends more particularly, in a system of landivplunderi known.; as j‘gridironing;’ and that William Rolleston did all this in full and guilty j knowledge; . and in. breach of his oath to God, Crown and country.” Article No. : 3,-. “ inter alia,” declares that “ one, Alfred Saunders, as Superintendant of Nelson Province, did wilfully and corruptly concur iri andi make no efforts to disturb the wrongful possession of hundreds of thousands of acres of free and sacred soil, the heritage of his brothers, the common people of New Zealand, which illegal possession to the full and guilty knowledge of the said Alfred Saunders, had corruptly obtained; in flat violatiou of the Royal Instructions.” We

pass on to Article. No, 6, which “inter alia” declares-':—‘^Whereas-the'passing of most illegal ordinances was procured in the Provincial Council by runholders and their mortgagers, .notably John Hall and Isaac Thomas Cookson, his mortgager, voting upon questions in which they had direct interest, and were signed corruptly and wickedly. by -William Sefton Moor house he being interested for his two brothers, Benjamin Moorhouse and Thomas C Moorhouse,;:-and.-. also his brother-in-law John Studholme. ” Article No. 7 is as follows Therefore being moved by these six articles, we, your humble petitioners, Jo-ever pray that you will take these facts into full consideration. That you will specially remember the similar, . . but : not.so wicked, case of Michael De La Bole, Earl of Suffolk, Lord High Chancellor, who, for being foo greedy in buying land, was impeached, degraded--forfeited, and punished by our ever glorious fathers before the corruption of Parliament, by the 40s franchise of the' Sixth Hemy, 1429, and by the mock ‘ Reformation ’ which disgraces England and Ireland to this day. That you will also bear in mind clause 6 of our Act of; Settlement, 1700 12 and 13 William, the third cap. 2, whereby no person having profit under the Crown can be a Parlia ment man, and under which clause the aforesaid William.,, Sefton Moorhouse, John Hall, William Rolleston, and Alfred Saunders, have -committed treason against God, Crown /and Country in procuring a profit to themselves or to their friends and to their relatives in fiat defiance of solemn oath or in allowing these thing Mir. some of them to be wrong fully dolie, 1 5 That c: you c wilF aWo notice clause Bof the Act of Settlement, which shuts out ,all r ppwer .either Crown, or of T the Governor, or of the Legislative Coun cil, to inteyfep. with or to ..plead pardon—- &’;pardW to an impeachment by the Com mons of New Zealand, and that you are a'free Parliament under the said Act of Settlement. That you will guard saqi ed oOr 1 /; Common Law Right, “ that no man may justify__himself of his wrong, which right has been trampled under foot by A §VA’W: Mb W.

PBQPEgTY ASSESSMENT' BILL-

On Thursday afternoon a meeting was /held in the Chertsey school-room, to con sider the proposed property tax. There was only a moderate attendance, but those present -were all residents. Mr. W. A. Brown was called to the

chair. In introducing the subject lie ex plained' away the small attendance by stating that some misapprehension regard ing tiio hour of meeting had existed, soiiie peopie believing the meeting was to have been held in the evening. After ex-

plaining the provisions of the Bill very exhaustively, he pointed out that a result of it would be that we should now be. taxed some 355. or 40s. per head more than we ; were at present. He, expressed

sympathy with the Government in having to resort to such heavy taxation, but con sidered that to tax improvements and industry was most iniquitous and inquisi torial. A person striving to make his place homely and comfortable, or even decent, was called upon to be taxed for

what ‘ might be considered 1 only neces sary. He then quoted from “Hansard” the’ reply of Mr. Reader Wood to Sir George Grey, to show that the Land Tax was to be quadrupled, besides extra, taxa tion, even on beds, chairs, and the very household furniture. Mr. Brown claimed that the people ought not to quietly submit to be.taxed, simply for the reason that they did not raise their voice against the measure. Stich, in fact, was the argument used by Major Atkinson in sup-

port of the measure—viz., that the people had assented to it by not raising their voice against it. If no one else did, he felt sure that the people of the Chertsey district would make their voice heard.

The people had great power in resisting undue and unfair taxation, and he referred to the success of- the licensed victuallers in opposing the Beer Tax of the late Go vernment. That measure would have brought in a large revenue, and the tax could have been well borne. Did Govern ment suppose that the people would tamely submit to any taxation, even to the taxing of machinery and everything that

Was necessary for the produce of the country. Such a measure as that pro posed would retard local industry, and by it all toilers were to be taxed to the far thest extent, while buyers were exempt. He , considered that the Land As sessment Tax and an Income Tax would amply meet the deficiency. There wris ; no ; cloubt the money must be

raised/butfit-was imperative that it should be - raised liptlie' manner proposed. If such heavy''taSaiiOn'were necessary, an econo mical. movement could be. made in the direction of reducing'Hie cost of maintain ing an Agent-General arid his staff. They did not represent, but rinsrepresented the colony by ; their , extraordinary pro mises to intending immigrants.

Mr. R. Edwards proposed—“ That this meeting strongly disapproves of the pro cess of the Property Tax Assessment Bill now before the House, as it believes it is calculated to cripple the industry of the colony and retard -the settlement of' the . country ; and that the measure is of too oppressive and inquisitorial a character. ”

. The resolution was carried unani mously. Mr. Fowler said he thought the tax would only effect the wealthy and not the poorer classes, and he considered they Were the right persons to bear the tax. As .the money must, he presumed,,be raised>io save the credit of the colony, would the Chairman lay before,the meet ing some other more tangible scheme for raising it... . vm.fc •//•• •• • - The Chairman said lie was not an authority- as to how finances of the country should be guided, but he fully agreed with the speaker that the money must be raised.

In reply to Mr. Dollamore, the Chair man said the water race was expected to be remunerative.

Mr. Iveas spoke at some length in sup port of the resolution, and complimented the Chairman and the district on raising their voice against such an obnoxious mea sure. ' ;

Mr. Wilkinson proposed—“ That a copy. ,of, the foregoing resolution be sent to the member for Coleridge,” and a vote of thanks having been passed for the energy displayed by Sir George Grey in opposing the measure, iri its early stages in the House, it was resolved that a copy of both motions be forwarded to Sir G. Grey. “ A rote of thanks to the Chairman was passed and the meeting adjourned.
