BARNEY GEOGHEGAN THE IRISH MEMBER.

(Concluded.)

On that word I stepped back two paces an' with a whirra an' a shout, I sazed me shillelagh, which was in me han' at the time, an' I screeched out— " I'm a mimber for Eashkillen to the House ov Commons ov the United King dom ov Great • Britain an' Ireland. I'm for Civil and Religious Liberty, Home Rule, an' Denominashunal Education; an' by the powers, if you two little skulking blagaurds don't let go ov the doore an' let me intil the house I'll brake ivery bone ov Ji3ol&P dies-" . jTrorti^uy wan in the lobby turned round an' $ited " Silence !." —it's more partikler *-atey are about silence outside than they " are inside the house — and three peelers came forward. There was about to be a gineral shindy, for Tully O'More's nevvy stood to me with a soda-wather bottle, when a pleasant-looking jintleman stepped up to me an' said, " Are you Mr Barney Geoghegan, the new mimber for Eash killen ?" "Thrue for ye," says I, "I'm the very man. An, me refused enthrance to the Tery place I was sent to by me consthitu ents." " Oh ! it's all right," says he, winkin to the constables. " I've heard heard ov you from Father O'Swill. I'm a Counthry xnan ov yer own ——" 11 I'd know it by yer spache," says I " An though I'm not. ov yer way of thmkin, I'll take ye in an' inthrojuce ye, aa' put ye up till the ways ov the house." " Would ye mind givin me yer name ?" says I. " Maguire," says he. "What!" says I; "the pathriot ov Cork P" " The same," says he: "Well." says I, " yer well known to be the gratest man in the House ov Com mons, an' the lader of the pathriotic par ty ; and I'm proud ov yer acquaintance. Mister Maguire. Will ye join me in a dhrap for the sake of ould Ireland ?" It's about the worst whisky that ever I tasted they sell at the counther. It's too near the officers of excise to be a natheral element. Says I when wee collogued— " I'm goin to give notis of a mo9hun in favor ov Home Kule, an' if ye'U show me the Spaker, it's till him his riverence towld me to addhress/' .... .

"Allright," says Mister Maguire, wid a twinkle in his eye ; " but ye must ov all take the oaths an' yer sate, an' for that purpos I'll get Sir Xilmoy O'Clocker to accompany us to the table. They're at prayers now," sayshe. Then he inthrojuced me to Sir Kilmoy, an' when prayers was over they took me till the bar ov the house as they called it but sorra a gill ov spirits isiver to be found there as I have lamed to.me disgust. The House was lit widout lamps and was crowded wid jintlemen all wearin their Hats, an' not a faymale to be seen. There was an duld gintleman wid a wig on, sittin directly opposite the doore in a sate wid grate thing like an umbrlla over it; and other jintlemen in the same costume at a table in front ov him ; an before the tha ble a grate goulden mace in a gun-rack qv the same metal. Whin the ceremony was completed Mis ter Maguire whispered in me ear, " Yell now follow me to a sate, an' whin ye sit down put yer hat on," I sat down next him on a sate.'which was butifully cushioned, an' as soft as the moss on Drumcarn, an' thin as directhed I put on me,hat. There was abuzz o; con versashun in the House at the time an' somelaughin. Thinks I, if they're laughin at me, they're mighty misthaken, and I'll give them a touch of Irish assurance, so I stood up an' said loud enough to be heard all over the place— " Misthe Spaker !"—but the words was not well out ov me mouth whin the whole company roared at me like a herd ov mad bulls — " Ordher ! Ordher !" The Spaker stood up too. Says I, " Ye cowardly spalpeens-; — but they drowned me remarks inthirely hy shoutin' " Ordher, ordher . Chair, chair!" I began to get angry, for thinks I to meself, this is a thrick of the Sassen ache blagaurds to shut me mouth, they well know what I'm about to say. I gave a flourish ov me shillelagh and shouted at the top ov me voice— - "It is ordher ye want,' says I, " lorlll soon interjuce it to ye !" but again the whole place was filled with shoutms to that extint you couldn't hear yer own words. " Ordher, ordher ! Chair, chair; Me frind at me side sazed me coat tails an' pulled me down on the sate, an' afthef possessin himself ov me shillelagh, which I was alout to bring down on the headov a jintleman who was shoutin "Chair, phair!" and who had mighty little hair for the size ov his brains, named the mem ber for Waterford, says to me— " Kape still, I tell ye. Ye've made a misthake. Ye must always ot risin to_ ad dhicss the Spakertake offyer hat. Ye 11 have to apologize." The Spaker said in a low, clear voice— " I Must inform the Honorable Mem ber that he is not in order in addressing the chair with his hat on.'; and I hope be will not consider it one of his duties as a rcpresentitive to bring a shillelagh into this House and emphasize his remarks with flourishes not strictly rbectorical. ( At that there was a roar of laughter, an bein willin to adhere to the ways of the place, I took off me hat, an' got up again on me legs, an' says I— " Misther Spaker, I axe yer pardin, but I'm. unbeknownst to the rules ov the

House. I hereby give nbtis that at an air hr. day I shall call the attenshun ov the f.Mfase to the subjec of the relashuns oflre '.^ f^d to the Grate Brittan an' move resol *eSmnß iSverdon." Ye see I'd got it as %Htt'a9 could be from Father O'Swill. The laughter was ten times worse than before, an' the little Spaker nearly fowled off the chair. I wai beginnin to feel for me shillelagh whin up jumps a man right forenenst the Spaker, an' standin' at the table, looks roun the house, wid his eyes yery angry and very wild, an' says he, pointin at me with his right ear— " And I beg to give notice on behalf of the Government that if that motion is brought forward by the Honorable Gentle man, the Government will consider it its duty to treat it as one involving a question of confidence in the Ministry." (Here there were loud cries of "Oh! oh !") " Yes, I repeat it, as involving confidence in the Ministry, and we shall be governed by the yesult accordingly."

Misther Maguire explained to me that the jintleman was in the habit ov given these notises aftber any moshun he didn't like, an' 'twas a sign of the importance at tached to me weight an' standin' to have me proposal made a critical question. So afthir doin me duty, I went out to ex change congratulashuns with Tully O'- More's nevvy, who, betwane you an' me, is the only honest pathriot, barriu meself, in the Parliament Houses.

POLICE COURT.

THIS DAY. [Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., R.M.] DRUKNENNESS.

Three drunkards were fined ten shillings each, and another for having being drunk and disorderly was fined twenty shillings and costs or the usual alternative.

VAGRANCY. ■.. An old woman named Ellen McLean pleaded guilty to having no lawful means of support. She said she was homeless, friendless, and destitute, for which offences the Court at once sentenced her to three months' imprisonment in Mount Eden Gaol, to be kept to hard labour.

Catherine Regan, an old offender was charged under the Vagrant Act with being a rogue and a vagabond, and with having been oftimes convicted of drunkenness, and also with having been previously convicted of being an idle and disorderly person. In reply to his Worship she said she was a single woman, and her husband was dead. The Court asked her where she would go to if discharged. The prisoner replied that she would go to the Bay of Islands directly. His Worship was willing to give her another chance, and discharged her, which made the old woman cry with joy. ASSAULT. Joseph Read, a seaman on board the barque" Coronilla, was charged with assaulting the mate of the vessel. He pleaded, in extenua tion of the offence, that he was the worse for liquor. The Court sentenced him to 14 days' hard labour. This concluded the business.

COLONISTS' PROTECTION LEAGUE.

Tiie members of the Colonists' Protection League held their usual meeting this after noon at Sceats' hotel —Mr Albyn Martin in the chair. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. Major Walmesley spoke favourably of an article in the Evening Star, and thought that the treasurer should apply for the sum of 4s 6d, kindly offered by the Editor of that journal to their funds when they •were not in the most flourishing condition. The treasurer had no objection to wait . upon the Editor under the wing of the ' Major. The . chainnain said the" League, in a certain sense, was in a more hopeful 'condition than it was, as they now had Mr ."VVjel and Mr Bathgate on its dde. Mr Woodward thought that the League should make an effort to populailze it. elf by cabling a public meeting to dksipate the ignorance which prevailed on the great question of protection. Mr An drews called attention to a pamphlet—"A Bone to Pick,"—which they should have circulated by hundreds.'- :

Late Advertisements. THE HOKIANGA GROG CASE. HPHE following correspondence is JL published for public information :— Hokianja, 25th Oct., 1872. J. S. Macfarlane, Esq. Mv Dear Sir,—l take the liberty of enclosing two letters addressed to yourself, bearing on the Hokianga Grog Case. . These statements from Mr Campbell and Capt. McKenzie, coupled with the evidence of Mr Wood (Offord's assistant) and Otford himself, who both swore in Court that "they had never sold spirits in less quantities than two gallons at any time, or to any person since they had b«en storekeeping in Hokianga," go far to prove that respectability which Mr-MacCormack seems so anxious to claim for his injured client (Offord), and which no one else seems to believe in. Mr * * * bought glasses and bottles of Offord, so I am informed. Had we had this knowledge sooner an appeal would moot certainly have been asked for. As it is, the information has, I ; much fear, came too late. I am sure Williams and myself have great cause to thank you for your kind sympathy, and it is only our positions, as officers of the Government, that has prevented our answering some of the false statements which have appeared in the papers from time to time on our misfortune. Yours, very truly, SPENCER Yon STURMER. Pakaraka, Bay of Islands, October 28,1872. J. S. Macfarlane, Esq. _■ Sir,—Having noticed a letter signed by J. C. Mac- Cormick, barrister, etc., in which, referring to the case, Offord v. Williams and Yon Stunner, he says, " The magistrates made no offer of amends, not even returning.the money illegally received by them from the sale of the goods." I herewith enclose copy of a letter I have obtained from Mr E. M. Williams, one of the magistrates in question, and which was read in Court, by which it will be seen that immediately on the conviction being quashed the magistrates did tender to Mr Offord the money obtained under, the quashed conviction, but which, for reasons best known to himself, he never applied. Mr MacCormick forgets -to state that he himself received the sum of £56, which was the amount with costs illegally received by the magistrates from the sale of the goods, and was paid to him through Messrs Jackson and Russell. ■ I am, &c, JOHN W. WILLIAMS. Ps —You are at liberty to make what use you like of this letter.—J.W.W. Pukehua, Bay of Islands, • : . September 19,1870. . ; In the case Smith v. Offord. To Mr Walter C. Offord/ at Mr Courtayne'a, Princes-street, Auckland.. .-.. ---gxn i hereby tender you the sum of Fifty-six Pounds (£56), being the amount of penalty and costs received under a certain conviction in. the above case, which conviction has been lately quashed by "rule absolute " issued from the Supreme Court of New Zealand,' Northern District, and besr to state that lam ready to pay the same to you whenever you may please to receive it. I have further to sta.te that, having furnished Messrs Jackson and Russell with particulars of sale, I beg to refer you to these gentlemen for any information you may require. „,,.., I am, Sir, ■ • Your obedient Servant; (Signed) BDWD. M. WILLIAMS, j Hokianga, Oct. 19,1872.. J. S. Macfarlanb, Esq. '' ■ -•„ • • , Dear Sir,—l see Mr MacCormick is much annoyed that Mr Offord, late a storekeeper h>re, should, .have been spoken of as a "sly grog seller." For your in formation I may state that Mr Offord himself served mv boat's crew with glasses of spirits, for which I pai< him sixpence per glass ; and also that I have purchased spirits by the glass from Mr Offord on several other | occasions in Hokianga. . ' Master of the Schooner Herald, i Mongonui, October 23,1872.. Dear Siß,-Having seen in the Weekly Herald;W the 12th inst. a letter from yourself to Mr McCornnck, ; of Auckland, on the subject of the Hokianga Grog Selling Case. I take the liberty of fnorming you that I am prepared to prove that upon two occasions; JL purchased spirituous liquors &2/ tlie bottle at Mrj Offord's stores at Hokianga; that is to gay,from.Mr, Offord himself one bottle of rum, for whioh I paid, him five shillings, and one bottle from Mr Offord s assistant. ■ - ..'.' -■ <r' *I am, yours faithfully, S. CAMPBELL, . : Licensed Surveyor, j J. S, MAcyARi/AN£, Esq., Merchant; Auckland.
