The particulars of this m_+ "** as follows :—Some seven or eight % ago two Americans, named lh«l'^_!

In accordance with in_f custom, tho Chief Magistrali _ Arthur Quintal, took theifil Mr A. Buffet, first councillor'^ a letter from the private secretary 'of T Governor explanatory of Mr Wilkin , presence there. Mr Wilkinson St' dressed the meeting at some length pressing his regret that matters hadattlj such a position, and hoped that the 2 would take steps to remove the causeofu! dissension which existed amongst tl otherwise they might lapse into the stS the ruins they saw around them. MrM Adams said that never before in their mt had there been euch a crisis, such "'-fl such disturbance amongst their peopHl this he attributed entirely to the w£, here and teachingof certain strangers ___ therefore moved the following resoioS —"That the following regulation or &j_ added to the laws and regulations of _% folk Island, and that it at once beooMS under clause 16 of the laws and regulaUnl of tho island, namely: If it shall beta at a public meeting of the colony WH majority of two-thirds of the adults members there present at such meetfaoH the presence of any person residing oafS island is prejudicial to the interests of m community, it shall bo competent for* n! meeting to pass a resolution excelling ksd person from the island, and he shallnccwjj ingly be expelled inthefirstvesselconre-jiit for that purpose.'" After somo ditcnaU a hallot was taken, when the motion'it. carried by CG votes against 16,"* Hi summary method of dealing with heretia or Nonconformists will doubtless comme^ itself to thoso who believe in the pra'cMi of local option. It will beseen ttntaj method of decision is the same, - and _f underlying principle identical in which temperance advocates put forintj with regard to the drink curse.. Acectth thing is specified as being " prejndiciil(( the interests of the community," and atij. thirds majority is assumed to fotf.% requisite wisdom and is olothed nwM power to order the suppression of tie A jectionable thing. The Norfolk Itlandn have set the whole world a noble eapi; of how evil is to be wiped out!
