DECLARATION OF POLLS.

Etlcn. The declaration of the poll for the electoral district of Eden took place at four o'clock yosterduy afternoon in the Excelsior Hull. Thore wcro about twenty persons present. j[r .T. A. Benle, Returning Olficor, presided, and announced the result of tho poll as follows :—For Mr Tole—Excelsior Hall, 387 ; Valloy Road, 0; Mount Albert, 29 ; Eden iloll, 183; total, UOB. For Mr O'Neill, —Excelsior Hall, 108; Valley Road, (j; Mount Albert, S; Eden Hall, 92: total, 214. Majority for Tole, 394. Mr Joseph Augustus Tolo was thoroforo declared did/ elected a representative of Eden in the forthcoming Parliament. Mr Tole came forward and thanked thos-o who had as sisted him, and also those who, by tho exerciso of their votes, had choson him as their representative. Ho claimed credit for consistency in tho past, and pro mised that for the future he would do all in his power for tho colony generally, and the district which ho represented in particular. Ho was fully alive to tho fact that ho was tho recipient oi tho highest prize that the constituency could givo, and ho thanked them from tho bottom of his heart. Mr A. W. O'Neill in his speech attacked Mr Tolo for tho remarks said to have been used in reference to him on Tuesday night. That a gentleman and a member of the House should havo permitted himself to make use of such languago, ovon in the heat of contest, was, ho considered, something quite unknown in Parliamentary warfare. Ho would ongage to say that out of the 92 electorates this was the only member who thought it necessary to mako use of such languago, and especially to one who, like himself, wa9 a yonng^ colonial. It was moat ungenerous and unhandsome. Ho blushed for Mr Tolo when ho repeated those words, and ho blushed for those elec tors who applauded him. Ho thought Mr Tolo would havo seen fit to apologiso, but he had not. If he had compared Mr Tolo with either Mr Fitzgerald or Mr tiarrard, ho would havo been ready to sink into tho ground for shame. It was tho custom of tho victorious candidate rather to sootho tho wounded feelings of tho defeated, and not to kick him whon ho was down. Public opinion had, however, condomnod Mr Tolo, and ho (tho speakor) felt satisfied that when noxt ho appeared beforo the many who had now voted against him would then rally round him, and that ho would he a gainer rather than a loser.—Mr Tolo briefly replied. He paid it would have been more manly for his friend if, whon speaking from the top of his cab, ho had spoken to him, and then they could havo had it out fully. That was the time when they wore at boil ing point. He ha.d said things in tho heat of the conflict which ho would not make use of now, but still ho maintained that Mi- O'Neill had no more right than tho law allowed to come forward and contest this seat. Tho voices of 400 people had declared against Mr O'Neill, and they would not go further boyond this. He might say, in the words of Sir Maurice O'Korke, " forewarned is forearmed," and ho knew now who ho had to contend n<*ainßt. It would bo more manly of Mr O^Neill to go to some other constituency where he could pick a hole in tho coat of tho member. He had tried Waitemata, and had tried down South, and then came to Eden, where he was defeated. Thoothor two people had some claim on tho district. They claimed to represent tho working man, while Mr O'Neill represented no ono but himself. He said ho would regenerate tho colony and regenerate Eden if they would thrust out the man who had acted consistently in their best interests. It was a monstrous thing the way in which MrO'Neill had come into this district. Ho did not claim this as a pocket borough, and did not say these things whon Sir F. \\ hit aker and Mr Reader Wood came out to fight him, but Mr O'Noil had not thol recommen dation!' to consideration that thoso gen tlemen possessed. In conclusion, Mr Tole remarked that professionally he might say that he reciprocated tho lovo cxpresed for himself by Mr O'Neill, but personally ho could not lovo that gentleman. If Mr O'Neill had blushed, it must have been in ternally, as they had soon no exterior sign of a blush on his countenance. A vote of thanks, proposed by Mr Tole and seconded by Mr O'Neill, was passed to tho Returning Officer, and the proceecdings terminated.

Waitemata.

The formal declaration of tho poll for tho Waitemato electorate waa rcado today in the Devonport Hall, Mr Thos. Seaman, Chief Returning Officer presiding. Besides him, the candidates, and the rep resentatives of the press, there were only three persona present. Mr Seaman, in opening the proceedings, said that it was now his duty to perform the last act in the electoral drama in con nection with the Waitemata election. He then read out the numbers of votes re corded at the various polling places for the respective candidates, and gave tho totals as follow: — Votes. Mr W. J. Hurst ••• G46 MrH. Farnall I'jj Informal votes 8 Majority for Mr Hurst, 474. He there fore declared Mr William John Hurst the duly-elected representative of Waitemata in the General Assembly. Mr Farnail drew attention to the tact that the Returning Officer had omitted to state the Kumeu returns. Mr Seam an. replied that ho was quite aware of hia omission. Guided by the advice under which he was acting, he was perfectly satisfied that ho was pursuing a correct course in announcing tho result of this election, and in declaring Mr Hurst as the duly-elected candidate. Ho had a sufficient explanation, and he believed the Government would be perfectly satiseod with the action he had taken. If it were neoes3ary to enter into details, ho was pre pared to do so. In the meantime the can didates could now mako any remarks they P jsx°HrasT said that he felt himself quite unequal to the task oi expressing the sense of gratitude that he felt towards tho elec tors of Waitemata for the high honour they had conferred upon him in re-electing him as their representative. He had scarcely hoped that such a return would have been made under the circumstance that from an unfortunate illness he had been prevented from going round and asking the various localities to bestow upon him their confidence. It showed that he had friends throughout the district, and that without any exertion on his part their con fidence in him was such as he should ever feel deoply grateful for. Ho could only say that all his best exertions would be put forth for the_ benefit of the colony as a whole, and for Waitemata —his own especial district—in particular. He trusted that the result of them would be such as never to forfeit the esteem in which, for the present at least, he was held by the Waitemata constituency. He did not know that there was any need t» prolong his ob servations. He believed that the electors would give him credit for sincerity when he said that he regretted that he had not had the opportunity of meeting them face to face. After next session, how ever, he would endeavour to go through the various districts and expound his views upon the politics of the country. Mr Fabmau. said that he had in the first place to thank those electors who were kind enough to come forward p> record thejr votes in his favour. He thought if extremely unfortunate that a littie contretemps should have occurred to preclude a large number of electors froni exercising the franchise. No doubt the Returning Officer had done his best under the circumstances, but still it was impossiblo for anyone to calculate the reßiiltif the Kumeu polling place had been open. A contest of this sort might bo com pared to a horse race, wherein it was abso lutely necessary that the competing horses should start fair. If they did not do so, and one ran away with a long start, and eventually won, it was of no use for kis supporters to say that in any' case his winning would have been inevit able. Tho horses had to bo called back.arid a fresh start made. Another ob jection he had to make was as to the manner in which the election contest had been'conducted; He made no allusions to Mr Hurst. So far as he know, that gentle man had comported himself in a fair and honourable way. He merely referred to the view taken of tho two candidates by the papers. It was altogether unfair and one- Bided. On Friday night week he had tho pleasure of addressing the electors, and on the following Tuesday the poll was taken. As that was tho first time ho had spoken, ij; was naturally supposed that a report of the speech would appear in the fol lowing night's paper. But such was pot the case. Npt only was the roport omitted altogether from the Star of that night, but there was inserted a leading article which, to say the least of it, was brimful of misstatements. Every sentence in it was an lnascuracy. He proposed to take that opportunity of criticising it. In the first place, he denied its opening assertion. He had never, oven from the very farst^ declared himself a Greyite. In fact, he had

a strong objection to the term. He had always been a Liberal, and ho looked upoa fair George Grey as tho Liberal loader. Ho was notopposod by the Greyitesin Rodney, but he withdrew thoro in favour ef Mr > heehan, upon it boing pointed out to him that tho presenco of that gentle man in Parliament was absolutely necs sary to the Liberal party. He was not ousted from Newton by the Trades and Labour Council. They first put him for ward there, but when it was found neces sary in the interests of tho Liberal party to find Mr Do Lautour n seat, then the Trades and Labour Council withdrew him, as they wore perfectly justified in doing. He had not used his influenco in Parliament to secure a billet as Immigration Agent. On tho contrary, he went home on private busi ness. Sir Julius Vogel never had anything whatever to do with his appointment as Im migration Ollieer, and thoro was no salary attached to the oflico. It was also ab solutely untruo that in London Dr. Fcathcrstone refused to accept him. So far from this boing true, Dr. Feathorstone sent him to the North of Ireland. He had never asked the House of Representatives for compensation, but only for tho money that ho had spent on tho Government's account. Tho publication of this article and the holding over of tho report of his speech had injured his candidature in Helensville particularly; where previously ho had strong {support. It was utterly im possible for anyone to say what the result of the election would have been, had the Kumea polling place beed. opened at tho propor time. As the Returning Officer was aware he had entered a formal protest against the declaratfon of.the result which had just been given. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Returning Ollieer, and in the course of his reply, Mr Seaman conclusively showed thut the oponing of the Kumou polling place could not have in any way affected the issue of the contest.

Rodney.

The poll was officially declared to day as follows : Moat, 54S ; Wilson, 244 ; majority for Moat: 304. Tho Returning Officer de clared Mr William Pollock Moat duly electod. Neither Mr Moat nor Mr Wilson was prosont.

To Whit! has .not yet made any^statement as to what lino of action ho will take, but Tohu says ovory thing is now coining all right, and ho will get back the land for tho natives. As tho planting season is now approaching, it is considered likoly that the natives now as sembled at Parihaka will remain to put in tho crops, and as there are sure to bo some turbulent natives among tho assemblage it is thought that troublo may arise in their attempting to occupy tho laud of the settlers. It is understood that no stops will bo taken to disporso the natives from Parihaka unless they commit a lawless action, and one which might lead to blood shed. Tho total number of natives now at Parihaka is about 1,500.

Attempts were made to restore him from apparent uncon sc:ousness but without effect. Captain Millman immediately sent for a medical man, Dr. Wilkins, who pronounced life to be extinct, expressing hi 3 belief that the immediate cause of death was apoplexy.

Judgment entered for £50 with costs, £6 12s. vr J D. COLEISROOK V. GPNS.QN AND Maß tin —Claim, £100, damages for breach of contract.—Mr Alexander for plaintiff, Mr JB. Russell for defendant.—The facts, according to the evidence, were as follow :— The plaintiff is a storekeeper, residing at Ccromandel. In April last he sentan order to the defendants to forward to him 40 bushels of cocksfoot grass seed. He received a parcel of seed by the Coromandel steamer,

which (according to the plaintiffs case) was warranted to be cocksfoot. Captain Swind ley, master of the Coromandel steamer, de poßed to the identity of tho bags delivered on board his vessel and those delivered to the plaintiff, Tho seed was sown by the plaintiff. It appeared to him to be not cocksfoot, but seed of another kind. There was some cocksfoot soed mixed with it. It was an inferior seed. The cattle would not oat it. The result was that the plaintiff (according to his evidence) was put to great expense, and the land upon which the seed was sown was decreased in value. It was a soft meadow grass, and would cost £15 per acre to clear tho land. 'Bho defence waa that tho seed sent to the plaintiff was cocksfoot. Tho evidence of Messrs G. S. Jakina and C. Uesketh showed that commercial cocks foot contains a percentage ef soft meadow grass. Tho farmer who grow the seed and the person from whom defendants pur chased it deposed that the seed in question was true cocksfoot. It required three years to make that description of grass remunera tive. —His Honor reserved judgment. judgment summons casks. McLaugklan axd Anotherv Mukrav.— The claim was for £48 work and labour on building a house. Mr Napier for plaintiffs, and Mr E. Cooper for defentant. It appeared that defendant had failed to satisfy the judgment, and it was alleged that ho had fraudulently conveyed to his daughter the land and building. Tho evidence of tho defendant was that the sale to his daughter was a bona fido one, tho consideration being £'20, which money ho had spent on paying witness's and professional services. The daughter and her husband were not present. Mr Napier applied for a warrant for their arrest.—His Honor said that though thoro Was no provision in tho District Court Act for tho issue of a warrant, there was for a fine. Ho would reserve his decision on tho point. Court adjourned. This Dny. MuLauuiilin and Stanwsu v. Mitkbay and Wife.—Claim, £4S Bd.—Mr Napier ap peared for plaintiffs, and Mr E. Cooper for defendants —This was a judgmont summons brought by the plaintiffs (Builders) for the amount of a judgment rocovorod for erect ing a cottngo for tho defendants at Arch Hill. It appeared that three days after the judgmont was given tho defendants convoyed tho land on which the house was built to their daughtor, Catherine Weston, for £20.—Mr Napier oxamined Mrs Murray, Catherine Woaton, and hor husband with a view to show that done for tho purpose of dopriving plaintiffs of the means of enforcing thoir judgment.— Alexander MeLaughliu, ono of tho plaintiffs, deposed that tho land was worth £3 10s per foot.—Mr Napier said that if the defendants wore made bankrupts they would bo soveroly punished undor tho summary clausos of tho Act.—His Honor said the transaction was very discreditable to all tho parties, and ho had no doubt tho defendants intended to ovado payment. He would order that £10 bo paid within one month, and the balance in weekly instal ments of 7s 6d, or one month's, imprison ment.
