eeefl such accommodation before. The nsual length as far as his experience went ff au 6ft and the width 2ft. It was berawse of the smallness of the berths that they .did not want to go to sea. They had told the captain so. The ship was also one W«d short. No entry of their offence in the log had been read to theEe men. To the Court—They asked for their dis charge first on Wednesday. It was on Saturday that they refused to go to sea, because of the smallness of the bunks. They had been in port a week last Wednes day. After some further arguments from jf r Laishley his Worship said that he must hold that the charge was made out inasmuch as the men had been in port a week without finding any foul* according to their own showing. Directly they were told to " heave gjjort" and get ready for sea they bring up this excuse of the bunks being too small. ]Je must allow that the bunks were very small, aDd no doubt the captain would see the propriety of having some alteration made before he proceeded to sea. Mr Barstow then asked Captain Stephenson whether he wished the men to be sent back to the ship, ortogaol. .....,_ The captain said the boy Lawrence might go hack to the ship, but the others he would rather be rid of. The Magistrate then sentenced the older prisoners to four weeks imprisonment each, with hard labour, and ordered the boy Lawrence to be sent back to the vessel. This was all the business.

TO - THE ELECTORS OF NEWTON Gentlemen, —Having reason to believe that I fairly represented your opinions in Parliament, and knowing that I did my best to do so, I offer myself as a Candidate for re-election. There is nothing I can say that will enable you to know more of me than you do now, as I am and have been personally known for many years to nearly all of you. As to what is to be done now, I say let us, as far as possible, manage our own affairs. Surely we who know and are interested, can do so better than those who neither know nor care, and whose interests are often opposed to ours. ; If you see fit to elect me, my conduct will be the same in the future as it has been in the past—an endeavour, as far as possible, to get unity of action among our Members; to reduce wasteful expenditure ; to put power into the hands of the people, not to deprive them of it; and that all great questions should be submitted to them. WM, SWANSON,
