had been formed, and fast steamers, he ! thought that one Government was suf- : ficent. (Cries of " yes" ; and hear, hear), j He thought there should be no inter mediate institutions between the local j institutions and the "Government of the country, and greater advantages would accrue to those who found the expenses of the Government. He very much regretted to say that the members of Auckland had not done their duty towards their con- j stituents. He thought it was their duty to have submitted their views to the people of Auckland before they left. They had no great question to decide, and that was—"Do they require Provincial institutions or not P" (Cries of " no,") Mr Eastwood seconded the motion, and pointed out various acts in the Provincial Government as specimens of provincial >sfr9SsM£- . He nad keen opposed to Mr vogjs&yout it was not his duty to be opposed to him now because it was a constitutional question. The Superintendents had too much power, and it was time things were altered. He had groat pleasure in sup porting the resolution of his friend behind. (Great laughter.) They had met there to-day to support the Ministry of the country in the matter. (Loud cheers, and signs of approval.) Mr Allan O'Niell thought it was a question of pounds shillings and pence, and spoke against the General Govern ment for having deceived the people of Auckland. They had promised to hold the Government in Auckland ; they had also deprived the provinceof largepaddocks of land, and also the poor washerwoman of Auckland (langhter) of an acre of ground ■whore they dried their clothes. Are we the people they proposed to hand over their provincial institutions to (laughter). The speaker was proceeding to denounce the General Government, but was met with derision and laughter (cries of how about tho Busby claims). The Mayor hoped that the meeting would give the speaker a fair hearing. Mr O'Neill then said that the General Government would waste the money, and hoped that every respectable man who had a stake in the place would help to oppose any alteration. Mr Ellis was glad to see the question discussed and settled in a proper manner. The principle for which they had met there to-day was to support the General Government against Provincialism. It •was well known that that the movement now on by the Provincialists was tho last kick from an old worn out hack. The development of local government in country districts had done much, and showed the necessity of doing away alto gether with provincialism. (Cheers.) The policy which, had been supported in the Parliament during the past two sessions, whether it was a right or wrong policy, had been forced upon the country by pro vincial institutions. The whole of the provinces have been in a state of incipient insolvency, and a great many were so still through their own ruinous policy, It was well they had a colonial government equal to the emergency at the end of 18G9, and well they had succeeded. Now that the Colonial Government had comparatively speaking succeeded in pilot ing the ship through the political storm toa^vVlna o*^? °Ut throu Sh the credit rfcnS i *«bed to take some of the Tjitins t o t}ip T3WI-- 1- papers in the way tney tiad. These parties who had not six months ago said that it was absolute treason to borrow the money they did now came forward and wished to partici pate in the proceeds. The effect of their success in carrying out their provincial soheme would be to ruin the colony on the Stock Exchange in London by an immediate depreciation of stock. No money could be obtained on Provincial ■ecurity. He would like to know what Provincial Governments had done for the province. [A voice: The poll-tax. (Laugh ter.] If he was to go into the whole history of provincial institutions for the past three years he might excite an amount of feeling that he perhaps wished to avoid (Cries of "go on, go on,") The speaker then proceeded to give details of past events in connection with provincialism. Mr Carr was surprised to hear Mr Ellis gpeak of political consistency when he turned twice in one session for the pur pose of getting into office. (Loud laughter.) He would suggest that they content them selves in passing the motion, and wait until they knew more from Wellington as to what their members were doing. Mr Shaaagan supposed that the motion meant, by referring to public works, to include water works (laughter). He wanted to know whether the City Council thought the General Government could con struct the water -works better than them selves. The City Council had been to inspect thedistrict in the matter of the waterworks. With regard to Mr Ellis it wa3 he that had saddled the province with the debt. [Great uproar, during which Mr Ellis mounted the platform, buc the meeting refused to hear him,] Mr Shanagan again stepped forward and Raid that on looking to the requisition he saw the name of J. S. Maefarlane, who had last session declared the General Go vernment to be corrupt, and yet he pro posed that the public works should be handed over to that Government which he considered corrupt. (Laughter.) He had seen men button - holeing members to get particular work done. (Cheers.) ! He was not Sphere to support I provincialism, but he intended to express his opinion as. to whether they could conduct their own works in Auckland, or get it done in Wellington. The Drury railway had been condemned as a movement of provincial folly; but yet the engineers of the General Go vernment had adopted the very route tnat the Provincial Government had pr^Dosed because they could not find any t_ ffiSSheers.) He would ask the meet ing irctmaider that the Mayor was about gTI { 0W* t0 Wellington to transact, a little business (laughter), and that was wny he had supported this movement, because he wanted to get something out ?ofM + Deral Goverament. There was Gov^ g t(\getoit of the Provincial, feS that ™why h0 spoke taJv r wI; a H" 1 V slc 'tlle Secre- ' wt Ti z\:ti sr* the meetin * -heQ

POLICE COURT.

ng young mao, was brought up on a

warrant in custody of Detective Ternahan, charging him that he, being a clerk in the Chief Post Office, Auckland, did,, on the 24th July last, embezzle and secrete a post letter addressed to Mrs John Stokes, at Swanston street, Melbourne i containing a half-sovereign. Mr Brookfield prosecuted on behalf of Mr S. B. Biss, the chief postmaster. j Mr Hesketh appeared on behalf of the ! accused. j Mr Brookfield, in opening the case, ■ stated that the charge was brought under '' the 40th section of the Post Office Act, whereby any person employed in the i Post-office stealing a letter shall be ' guilty of felony; and further said i that suspicion being rested on the ! prisoner a test letter was sent through the I post containing a marked half-sovereign ; with insufficient postage. After this I letter had been missed the prisoner was j brought into the presence of the Post master, when after denying his guilt sub sequently acknowledged having taken the ; letter, and produced it out of his pocket. He called James Schradcr, who deposed, I am a clerk in the Post Office. I remember having been present when the envelope produced was addressed. I placed a marked half sovereign inside the letter, and posted it. (The letter was here cut i open.) The half-sovereign that I now find in the letter is the same as I put in. ; Before the letter was posted I put two penny stamp, which is insufficient postage. A threepenny stamp is required. I i sealed the letter in presence of Mr Coney i and he posted it. It is prisoner's duty to i clear the receiving boxes every hour and to pass the letters over to the sorter. To Mr Heskcth : A stranger addressed the letter, T decline to give his name. Mr Brookfield: You can answer the question. Witness : Mr Williams was the person. There is no writing on the paper con taining the money. James Coney, chief clerk, Post Office, proved posting the test letter on the 24th ult., and corroborated the evidence of the previous witness. He further said that it was the duty of the sorter to place any letter insufficiently stamped upon his table. In this instance it was not done, and a search was made for the letter, and the fact reported to the Postmaster. Mr. Lodge was first called in, and interrogated, and afterwards the pri soner, witness beingpresent. The prisoner was asked if he had cleared the boxes He replied that he had, but not the foreign boxes. Witness told him that he had, and Mr Morrow was called in, who asserted that he had seen him do so. Prisoner still denied it, Witness then asked Mr Morrow what he saw prisoner do with this particular letter. He said he saw him take it out of the box and bend the letter, to try it, and then put it down by his side. Witness afterwards left the room to search prisoner's drawer. On returning, the prisoner requested that he might have a private conversation with Mr Biss, which was accorded. The letter was sent through the office in consequence of certain suspicions attached to the prisoner, and his actions we™» closely watched. Witness posted the letter from inside the Post-ofoce. In reply to Mr Heaketh, witnef** said that_ in the ordinary %c p OJ V master, and afterwards sent to tL v Inspenfcnn oP x^oo.a Letters. He did not know what became of it then, or the half sovereign. George Morrow, clerk in the Post office, corroborated the previous witness. Mr S. B Biss, chief post-master, proved nterogating the prisoner in reference to the letter, and to his denying having taken it. He afterwards admitted when they were alone that he had the letter, and produced it out of his pocket. He also made a general confession, alleging that bad company had been the cause of his acting as he had done. He w*as then suspended, and left Auckland. To Mr Hesketh : Tho witness stated that the Post-office would never have delivered the letter as addressed in its present state. It would have been sent to the Dead Letter Office, and returned to the writer. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr Hesketh submitted that upon the charge the prisoner should be discharged, as according to the evidence the letter did not come into his possession in the ordinary course of posting, the same hav ing been put into the box from inside of the office, and not from the outside, as usual; he based his argument on legal authority in a previous case, similar to the one at issue, in which the Court decided that it was a wrongful conviction. He also submitted that it was not a post letter, as it was not intended by the authorities to send it to its destination ; that it had no writer simply because it contained no writing ; it was a blank sheet of paper with a half-sovereign wrapped in it. He therefore urged that it did not come within the meaning of the Post-office Act as a post letter. The Court declined in so important a matter to decide the ease, and intimated its intention of sending the case for trial, where any question of law could be argured before the Chief Justice. The depositions were then read over, and the prisoner (who appeared to feel his position very acutely) was fully committed to take his trial at the next criminal sessions of the Supreme Court,the prisoner reserving his defence by the advice of his counsel. Bail was accepted, himself in £200, and two sureties of £100 each, This concluded the business.
