profits of the best lines would about pay for the losses of others. The policy of the Government in v ;rowing so recklessly was monstrous and. ; it was political suicide, in seconding the resolution of Mr Firth he trusted the press of the colony would make a proper demonstration against the ministerial policy, at least that portion of the press which was not controlled by the thumb of the great centre. He advocated the formation at once of a New Zealand Association. If that did its work properly, although the resolutions had been passed to-night, they would soon fade away and vanish. Mr Eees concluded an excellent speech and sat down amid loud applause, which was renewed several times.

Mr Alexander Black asked what were the promises made by Mr Vogel when he went to England. Mr Kees said he did not know what he promised in England, but he had in the Assembly promised the security of the land fund.

[An excited individual here ventured him self on the platform, and inad,e a very funny speech, in which, among other statements, he said he meant when he had time to write to Mr Vojel, and say be had heard of the resolutions being passed, but didn't take no more notice of them than nothing at all.] (Loud laughter.) Mr Staines moved as an amendment, "That in consequence of the bungling legislation of the General and Provincial Governments New Zealand would bo better governed by the British House of Commons under the care of our Queen." In his experience in the Pro vincial Council and the City Board (laughter) he had found out that Provincial Councils were always making laws that could not be carried out. A great proportion of the j)ro vincial councillors only went into the Council for the 15s. per day, and hadn't a shilling of their own to jingle on a tomb stone. (Laughter and interruption.) The amendment was seconded by Mr Watkins but on being put was seconded by its mover and seconder only. The original resolution was then put, and carried with only two dissentient voices.

Captain Daldy next addressed tlie meet ing. He was one who had seen the progress of the colony nearly from it commencement. He was of opinion that provincial institutions had had their day. Party government was the pride of England, but it was not party Go vernment that existed here ; it was selfish Government. (Hear.) In the General As sembly the first fortnight was always wasted in balancing votes. He was one of those concerned in the so-called compact of 1850. The speaker here gave a detailed account of the passing of that measure, which exactly corroborated Mr Kees' explanation of it given in our report of that gentleman's speech at the Mechanics'. It was by the desertion of one member that the compact had been carried. It was no mutual agreement, It was only a temporary arrangement entered into on the strength of a majority of one for the carrying on of the business of the colony. Auckland had no reason to be ashamed of her own career. She had fought her way through manifold difficulties to a position when she could pay a quarter of a million into the colonial chest. And then Mr Vogel could come into the House and insult the Province of Auckland by offering a paltry dole of £25,000, while on the other hand Canterbury, a smaller province with less inhabitants, had last year over half a million lying idle in her treasury. (Groans.) This fact alone ought to show that Bomething was fundamentally wrong. He begged to move—"That in the opinion of this meeting the time has arrived when for the good government and financial credit of the colony the provincial Bystem should be altogether abolished, and the land revenue become colonial revenue." (Cheers.) Mr Macmillan seconded the resolution. He alluded to the test of the candidates in England when Mr Gladstone went in with a majority of 120 pledged to.abolish the Irish Church. In the same way he thought the question which should be asked the nexb candidates for their suffrages was—Will you or will you not go in for doing away with the compact of 1856 ? (Hear, hear.) On the resolution being pat to the meeting it was carried unanimously, the dissentient voices having, according to a wag in the meeting, " gone out." Mt Ireland was the next to speak. He advocated Government from the centre. He begged to submit the following resolution : — " That copies of these resolutions be sent to the Auckland representatives with a reg vest that they will support these views." Mr Holdahip simply seconded the motion, which was carried nem. con.

Mr liees moved a vote of thanks to the Chairman. In doing so he would urge one more facb against the unjust retention of the land revenue by Canterbury and Otago: that was that the Middle Island had been purchased by public money from the natives. It was purchased for the Colony, not for any particslar part of it. (Hear, hear). A gentleman corroborated Mr Rees' asser tion, after which the vote of thanks to Mayor Isaacs was carried by acclamation, and the Beparated with three cheers for Mr Rees. It is estimated that nearly 1000 persons were present.

RESIDENT MAGISTRATES COURT.— This Day.

JAMES LOGGIE V. N. IRELAND. Claim, £6 13s lOd. Mr J. B. Russell for plaintiff. This was a claim for goods which plaintiff had delivered, but for which he had not been paid. Judgment for plaintiff.

(Before Thomas Beckham, Esq., R.M.)

ALEXANDER DIKUAYELL V. EDWAKD DIXOI\ Claim, £7 4s 6d. Mr Brock for plaintiff, and Mr Laishley for defendant. This was a claim for rent. The defence was that defendant was unemployed at the pre- Bent time, .and unable to pay more than 2s 6d a week. Mr Brock said he would rather wait until defendant got something to do and in a posi tion to pay a larger weekly instalment. His Worship suggested that Mr Brock Bhouldi take half-a-crown a week at present, which 'was accepted. £Hi 2

JOHN WHITE V. JOHK MILLS. Claim, £20. Mr Laishley for plaintiff. John White deposed that defendant took his yacht, the Foam, to Wangarei, where she was wrecked. Defendant sold the wreck, and kept the money. He had seen the receipt for the same. Defendant did not deny receiving the proceeds. Judgment for plaintiff with costs. W. JAMIESON V. W. K. HAYWARD. Claim, £6 12s. Mr Joy for plaintiff, and Mr J. B. Russell for defendant.

Mr Jamieson deposed that he was an undertaker in Wellesley-street, and he claimed for supplying a grave and coffin for the late Mr Blackall, according to an order signed by defendant, for the sum of £G 10s. He had made several applications for the money without success. John Jamieson, a bootmaker, and son of the preceding witness, remembered defen dant calling at his father's shop and saying 11 Have you got a job to make a coffin for a

man who died in the hospital ?" He replied "yes," when Mr Bay ward said "So have I. You had better go on with it then, arid I will pay you ; you got the stuff in the house and I have not,"

Mr Eussell submitted that his client was not responsible, and that plaintiff had no case. Hayward had simply allowed plaintiff to do the job on the consideration of giving defendant a bonus of 30s. The money was lying in Auckland for payment, but Mr Jamieson had sued the wrong person. Mr Joy submitted that although the contract was made on a Sunday, Mr Jamie son had done the work for defendant and was therefore entitled to a verdict. He was not willing to take a nonsuit on the ground of Sunday trading; it was a work of necessity, which was sanctioned by law. His Worship went over the evidence and considered that plaintiff had made a mistake. It seemed clear beyond a doubt that defen dant had fulfilled his part in receiving the bonus of thirty shillings for handing over the job upon the order which he (defendant) had received from Mr Binney, who was agent in the matter. Judgment, therefore, must be for defendant, with costs, £2 11s. His Worship expressed his regret that such matters in connection with the buiial of the dead should come into Court. W. L. ROTH. V. TUOMAS ALDRIDGE. Claim, £6 8s 6d. Mr Joy for plaintiff, and Mr Thorne for defendant. This was a claim for goods for which a judgment snmmons had been obtained on a previous occasion. Mr Thorne informed the Court that defen dant was unable to attend in consequence of indisposition ; and asked that the case might be adjourned fora fortnight, when, accord ing to instructions, defendant would meet the claim. Adjourned accordingly.
