HONORABLE DEALINGS OF HONOR ABLE MEMBERS.

MrT.uaroa, M.H.R., it is said, made the only truthful speech in the House on the Hawke's Bay laud purchase, when he quoted King David, and exclaimed All men are liars." But if there be any truth in the accusation brought by Mr Sheehan a-ainst the " honorable " Mr Ormond and others who have the confidence and the pence of the Hawke's Bay land ring then it may with equal truth be asserted that a few men arc a good deal worse than " liars," as will be admitted after a perusal of the 'following extracts :— MB SHEEHAX'S SKETCH OF A FEW "__o_-OI.AI.LE" TRANSACTIONS. We have heard a great deal to-day about lawyers, and it has been put to tiie House that, while the honorable gentleman may have as many lawyers as he pleases, the natives must have none. The man who takes up the natives' case is a low-class practitioner—a Pakeha-Maori lawyer—be cause he exposes the honorable gentleman's transactions to view, throws daylight upon them, and shows that things have been going on which ought not to have been. If a man who gives up a good profession, as I did, to what he believes to be a good fight, is to be called a low class practitioner by a gentleman whose conduct I do not like to characterise in this House as it ought to be characterised, I say the natives can expect to have no justice done to them. If persons are to be charged as I have been to-day, then you had better tell the natives at once that "they need expect no more justice. The honorable gentleman did not tell us us that these transactions had grown so enormously — they had become so palpableand so notorious—that the Govern ment interpreter, in his own office and in his own employment, wrote to him a formal official letter of 12 or 13 pages in length, accusing several Maori interpreters by name of actually gross and deliberate fraud upon the natives. Was it not so ? I wait for a denial. Mr Ormond : He did not write to me. Mr Siieehan :He wrote to the Govern ment Agent; and I have seen the original document, with the honorable gentleman's own official minute and signature on the back of it. What happened ? When they were buying this block there were only four interpreters iv Hawke's Bay through whom a legal bargain could be made. The Government interpreter was one, and his brother, who was in private practice, was another ; and they were retained for £300 to do all that the Heretauuga people re quired—l mean the " twelve apostles." A person came up from another part of the colony prepared to give nearly 50 per cent, more for the block than they were going to give. He went to one of these interpreters, and asked him to act in the capacity of interpreter for him. That interpreter told me himself, in reply to questions put to him in Court, that he concealed from the intending purchaser the fact that he was engaged by the "twelve apostles." He absolutely acknowledged that he went to this man's house, dined with him, drank his wine, and sucked his brains, and then went back and informed his employers ef what lie had done, and they, no doubt, just patted him on the back. That is case one ; and now for case two. Mr Grir.dell —a name fami liar to us as household words, a man well known throughout the colony, and who is even now backed up with Government money—got a fee of £50 from this purchaser and went out and inspected the land, inter viewed the natives, and absolutely got the deed prepared, and then threw his em ployer ove_-. Certainly his present friends were unkind enough to give evidence before the Commissioners that he and the natives got so drunk that no business could be done. But what did happen ? It has not been contradicted that a friend of the honourable gentleman went to Mr Griudell aud squared him, telling him he ought not to go against his friends; that although he had got £50 from his pur chas ir. he would get another £50 and more from his own friends. Then there was a fourth man to be got to do the work, and he was asked to take it in hand and get the deeds prepared ; and in regard to him the letter to which I have referred was written by the Government interpreter to the Government Agent, accusing him of the most infamous transactions. Can the House imagine what was done upon that ? He threw tip the negotiations that he had commenced for this purchaser, did not in terfere any longer with the "twelve apos _les ;" and then no evidence was taken as to the charges brought against him, and no further notice was taken of the matter. I do not want to import too much of person ality into this debate. The honourable member for Clive has led the way, with signal success, in that direction. But I must point out that this interpreter has been dismissed from the irabiic service for embezzlement; that he was employed in these Hawke's Bay transactions ; and when that was done be was sent to the West Coast with the highest character, and put into the responsible position of Resident Magistrate or Civil Commissioner. He is well known to the members for Wanga nui. and his character wa 1' well described in this House in the year 1873 or 1874. In that way the honourable gentleman and his colleagues built a barrier round the Heretaunga Block, so that no one could approach it, and, if anyone wanted to buy it, he could not even get an interpreter to conduct the negotiations. The first case was the Heretaunga Block, in which a Maori woman named Alice is concerned. And what happened in this case '? It was hardly under w_.y when what do you think happened ? Why, the Go vernment officers, persons under the honor able gentleman's control, went to this woman privately, and asked her, without my knowledge, to come into town and settle the whole thing ! Is that the sort of conduct which should be indulged in by "'gentlemen of irreproachable character?" Why, sir, no solicitor of good repute would think of going to the client of another to make offers of settlement behind his back. If any European went to a lawyer to settle a case in which a professional man was engaged on the other side, the lawyer would at once tell him to bring his solicitor. Well, sir, the honourable gentleman, to cover his own title, asked his own officers to go behind my back and " square" the transaction with the woman Alice. They first offered her £500, then they raised it to £1000, then to £1500, then to £3000, and at last to £1)000, £1000 of which, I believe, was intended for myself. That is why the action has not been followed up; because my client was continually kept in communica tion by Government officers, who tried to induce her to stop the action being brought, , The statement which the honourable gen tleman made about the woman coming to my office and asking for £600 is another of those which the Standing Orders prevent me from characterising properly. I main tain the principle that, when you have an action on foot and you have your own legal adviser, you should not communicate with your opponent except through your own solicitor. But what do these virtuous people do ? They pay a Government inter preter, and get the ignorant natives, in my absence, by means of a few pounds or some clothing, and probably a little grog, to sign a paper saying that they have never given authority to anybody to bring actions for their laud. I have no doubt that the natives will by-and-bye admit that the Government agents got them to sign the papers.

The honourable gentleman (Mr Ormond) talks about his constituents. He knows very well, sir, that every Maori vote on the roll is a vote against himself. They can not forget that the honourable gentleman is rolling in luxury and wealth, and that they themselves are in poverty. They can not forget how these two opposite states have come about.

So much for Hawke's Ray justice. I could

I give other samples of this kind. I will j mention one. At the Commission an mi i terpreter was put into the box—l shall not mention his name ; I have referred to him already. He admitted upon oath in open Court that he had knowingly and wilfully made a false declaration on the back of the deed to the effect that he saw certain native people sign a deed when he had not seen them sign it. Ido not know -whether anyone is present now who was then in Court, but I never beheld a more painful spectacle. The perspiration came out in cold drops upon that man's forehead. He was unable to speak, and was on the point of fainting, and he begged the Court to allow him'to go outside to recover his self possession. The Court, being of a tender dis position, allowed him to go, but stipulated that he should be accompanied by a police man. He came back and repeated the admis sion. Anyone would imagine that a man of that kind, who had committed a misde meanour, would have been sent to trial. No, he was suspended for 12 months, and let loose at the end of that time to repeat tlio same offence in other parts of the country. .Let me tell the House the reason they dare not touch him—h_ would have turned King's evidence. That is sample No. 2. I will give you sample No. 3 of these transactions that are said to be so strictly moral and I virtuous, and on the strength of which the honourable gentleman and his friends are said to be the soul of humour. You can imagine what a European girl of eight years of age is. Ido not suppose she is well up in the law relating to property, or in a posi tiontO'Settle herjestates by way of mortgage. Well, she knows the English language [ and if her father is a landed proprietor or J she may have hoard something about the subject even at that age. But imagine a native girl of eight years of age signing a deed of mortgage to secure payment of certain sums of money, with an endorse ment by an interpreter on the back solemnly declaring that he had explained the deed, and that the child fully under stood its meaning and effect. That is another Hawke's Bay transaction. It is only one of scores—absolute scores. This very person whom I have just referred as a perjured interpreter applied, not two years ago to another Government interpreter to witness the signature to a deed for him. This other person to whom he applied had not been through Hawke's Bay mill, aud still preserved a little decency and honesty. When he saw the deed, which was blank both as to the names, description of pro perty, and plans, lie refused to sign it as a witness. The other gentleman said to him, " Oh, I hare been accustomed to this sort or things always. I have done tin's in Hawke's Bay." And that is a positive fact. These deeds are, many of them, signed absolutely blank as to the plans and descriptions. What happens? An inter preter takes three orfourdeeds in his pocket, roundsupamobof natives, aud,iftheywilliiot sign one deed, he gets them to sign another. It is not four or five months ago since, in the honourable gentleman's own room, a person, who may be termed his man Friday, and who, in Hawke's Bay, .since the Abolition, is ordinarily termed "The Government"—l refer to his late clerk— accosted me, and pointed out the evil of my ways, and suggested that I was doing myself harm by going against Mr Ormond and the Government; that this action was injuring me in various ways, and would be bound to prove unproductive in the long run ; and then came the mild suggestion that he had no doubt, if I was disposed to repeat, a locus pienitentia' would be found for me on the District Court Bench, or some suitable place. The honourable gentleman is making a note of that point. I hope he will reply to it. I will give him another case. I am now speaking, of course, publicly. What I say is being taken down. 1 have not got command of the wires like my honourable friends on the Government benches, and I suppose I shall get a very short report so far as the telegraph is con cerned. But, in the course of a few days, "Hansard" will be published, and my remarks will go forth to the country. I shall now speak of the settlement of £17,509, to which the honourable gentle man has referred, and in respect to which he has told the House that I aud another person bagged tbe proceeds, and .sold the native owners. What happened about that? lam quite Avilling to take an oath ns to the truth of every statement I make-, and I challenge anyone to contradict them. That land was originally acquired, with the exception of two or three shares, by means of mortgages for £2250. In 1574, I was offered £3000 to settle; it—not f r myself, but for the natives. I was offereu., in DS7S, £7000 to settle it ; and now comes the particular point. Iv tiie early part of IS7G, I was invited to meet the persons with whom I was negotiating in respect to this very block of land. There was a very long interview. I could see there was .something on the mind of the person to whom I was talking—it appeared to be a question as to who -would speak iirst. After some coughing and hesitation, at last the pro posal was made to me that if I would take £10,000 for the natives and £2000 for myself the tiling would be settled. Well, if 1 were a plunderer, and a robber, as tiie honour able gentleman tried to make me out to-night—the " low-class practitioner and Pakeha-Maori lawyer" of whom lie lias spoken this evening—l would have done, of course, exactly what, if he had been brought up iv the same profession, pos sibly he might have been content to do, and have taken the £200 0; and I should have done a very nice thing indeed. Now, what did I do . I refused the amount absolutely. I refused £15,000 for Hie natives, and ultimately made tho pur chasers pay £17,500, with about £12 L.OOO worth of laud for what originally only cost £■2500. Audi charged them—how much? Being a " low-class practitioner, and a Pakeha-Maori lawyer," I charged them £250. I doubt very much if the honourable gentleman renders his services at that figure ; I do not think he can say he does. All I can say is, that if he has no more to answer for in regard to his business trans actions than I have in mine, he stands very well indeed. As I have said already, I would not have spoken if I had not been so grossly attacked. Although I was not mentioned by name, or reierred to as to my speeches in this House, yet I think honour able members on aU sides will admit that I was the persod mainly pointed out in the course of the honourable gentleman's re marks. If you tread upon a worm it will turn. I do not happen to be exactly a worm, and I inherit from my Celtic ancestors a disposition, if I get a blow, to give one back; and if lam struck a coward's blow, if I am stabbed from be hind, as was done to-day, I take my assail ant by the scruff of the neck. The honour able gentleman dares to apply to me the lan guage he used to-day. The Superintendent of Hawke's Bay for manyyears, the member of the Provincial Council, the Justice of the Peace, the member of this House, and the Government Agent — the man who ought to have acquired these lands for the public, and for the public estate—what has he done ? Talk about prostituting one's position ! Talk about Sir George Grey employiug his influence as Governor to get a block of land ! Why, sir, I would hesitate to own a single acre of the honoura ble gentleman's land upon the same tenure.

The foregoing are only a few extracts from the long list of Mr Sheehan's charges, mainly against the hon. the Native Minis ter, and in the face of such charges Minis ters absolutely allowed their hon. colleague to shirk an inquiry.

SINGULAR STORY OF AN ACTRESS.

The following biography of Miss Ada Ward, who was to have been engaged by Mr DeLias, appears in the " Tasnianian Mail" :•' Miss Ward has acheived for her self a fame in the dramatic world that has made her immensely popular wherever she has appeared, and lier delineations in the characters of Lady Isabel Caiiyle,Rosalind, Julia, Rudiga, Lady Teazle, Leah, i.e.,

Prom that time she lias been an ictress, lirst as an amateur, and then as a .rofessional, aud performed with great suc ;ess at the Globe and Standard Theatres, London, her principal representation being L_;.dy Isabel in ' East Lynue,' which she ilayed for 200 nights. Failing health nduccd lier to visit the colonies, and she dayed with great success in Sydney, Mel )OUrue, and Adelaide.
