* 'ToMr Neave s Did not see Simeon onelectiondaynor for Borne time before—probably the last sale day before the"election. Hever bad any conversationwhatever with Mr Sim«on. about theelection. Did not come down to vote.Hugh Stewart bad told him his namewtson theroll.

Mr Neave said Hugh Stewart washeadcanvasser for>Mr Dolamore and nodbubt thoughthehad secured the vote,and,was now boasting of paving ledMarshall intoa trap. .

To MrFletcher: Stewart did not askhim toaomeand vote..Did not see MrAitkenexcept on election day. Eefusedtoanswer furtherquestions.

Andrew Aitken deposed that he was atenant of 'Mibb Gilchrist, paying 4s ayearrates. Had other qualifications aswell Wasnominator piMr Simsouandhad 'conversations with him during theprogress of thecanvass. Did not touchJm the subject of securing Marshall sTote— didnot know tillafter that he hadavote. Was talking to him then— about6o'clock. Hadcanvassed forSimson in

aquiet way. Spoke to Mrs Henderson,anddidnot get any warning from MrHunter. Saw Mr Hunter among hisC*MrgFletcher asked what Mr Aitkenmeantbycongratulating Mr Simson onbeinginstalled in office, no matter howshort his termmight beP ,

Mr Aitken:Iknew you were buzzingjonnd with summonses.

Mr Weave: And thought there wasjust a possible chance Mr- Simsonaight'ntbe there long.'

Mr Fletcher askedMr Aitken to detailthe conversation with MrMarshall alterthe latterhadvoted.

Mr Aitken was advisednot to answer,and the Magistrate said he need not ifthe reply woali tend to criminate him.

Mr Aitkendeclined to reply, and MrFletcher said he could leave the box.He was apossible criminal.— (Laughter.),3. S. Millar, farmer, Chatton, knew

Marshall andasked him the day beforetheelection whether he intended to vo;e

MessrsNeaveandO'Eeillyobjected tothis line olevidence,and alter a deal ofwrangling the E.M. asked MrMillar ifhe saw Marshall vote,and witness replied.that be-did not; farther that Marshallhad told himhehad no propertyinGoreor Gordon.

Mr Fletcher said this was the case.He wouldask theMagistrate toopen thepacket lodged by the EeturningOfficer,and ifas supposed the threevoles men-tioned were recorded in Mr Simson'sfaror that they be struck off his total,which would reduce it to onebelow hisopponent, who would therefore bedeclared elected.

Mr O'Eeilly said no case had beenmade out. There was no proof of theappointment of the Town Olerkor Ite-turniogOfficer. Suchresolutionsshouldbe properly proposed and carried andentered in the minutes of the Council.The roll, too, should have beeninitialledand signed by theMayorand councillors,and there should,be acertificate statingthatit was a correctroll. It wasnot inthe formprescribed by the Act or any-thing like it. Then again these votescomplainedof wereallinEast Gore, andthere was no evidence,toshow that theGordon TownDistricthad been joined toGore. It was to be made a wardofGforp on proclamationof theGovernor.Where was theproclamationP The caseanUßt fail— absolutely nothing had beenproved fromstart to finish, and it wbbbsating theair to talk further about it.He could only congratulatehis Wowhipon getting ridofthematter *o easily.

Mr Fletcher said Mr O'Eeilly hadbeen talking absolute folly. It wasamatter of public history thathad been annexed to Crore. He hadnever heard of anything somonstrouslyab«urd. - They could take "Stone'sDirectory,"orany publication.

HisWorship thought seotions llyand127 ofthe Municipal Corporations Actmet the case of the Town Clerk's ap-pointment. He directed the Clerk ofCourt toopen the sealedpacketof votingpapers. This was done and the votesfound tobe as allegedin thepetition.

Mr O'Eeilly pointedto the rollsealedop with the votingpapersas providedbythe Act, which wassimplyaJut of namesand was utterlyillegal. It should be acorrect copy ot the roll. ,

Mr Fletcher-saidthecopy wassufficientand could be checked, and MessrsO'Eeillv and Neave proceed"d toquotea number of seotions of the Aot, whichthe E.M. said he was quite familiarW1

Tbe B.M. would reserve his decision,and lake the other petition atter theluncheon adjournment.

On resuming, Mr O'Eeilly said hewould not call rebutting evidence norwouldhe proceed with the otherpetition.

The petition of Tfaos. Buchanan andOthers was then formally called andwithdrawn. . .

Mr Fletchers application for costs"<Jrew fortha lotof personalities whichthe E.M.hadeventually to put a stop toperemptorily. His Worship continuing,laid there were a great many points,Borne of them what Mr Neave termed'" fine

" points"; and inorder to considerthe matterthoroughly he wouldnot givehis decision till10 o'clocknextmorning.Further, he commented on the person-alities of counsel andsaid he regrettedto saT that inallhis experienceofiocalelections he had met with none so slip,shodas that of Gore. He would not sayanythingabontcosts inthemeantime.

Thubspat,29th December.Onresuming thismorning,His Worship said that mrelation to

the inquiry, it was one of those casesWhich wereentirely in his aunsdiotion,but which were unpleasant toall partiesconcerned. With reference to the ob-jectionsraised against the roll,the wardrolls and other matters, no doub* theywouldbe upheld in another Court, butunfortunatelysection 51of the Eegula-tion of Local Elections Act precludedhim frominquiringinto them:he couldonly inquire into <he allegationsset outinthepetition. He believed it not onlypossible^ but probable, that a court ofcompetent jurisdiction would npaet theproceedings. Hehad compared the rollmade out with the list of names filedwith"the voting papers m Court, andfound that theyagreed;hehadno juris-diction tosayor gobeyond that, as undersection 51he could onlymqiure into theallegations in the petition and thepeti-tionfollowed the Act (section^O). Hewould take the latter part of the firstallegation to begin with, and so.far asMr Simson was concerned there was nota tittle of evidence to connect him withMarshall. The only evidence was thatMarshall did vote, and that W had norightto vote. There was sufficientfrimafade evidence to warranthim toorder thetrial of .Tames Marshall before a jury.Onthe second allegation,so far as Mar-shallwasconcerned, it was proved thathehad no right to vote, he was not onthe roll,and had not voted before;hisTOte wouldbestruck^ut. EeginaldDayadmitted, and his father and motherstated, that he was onlynineteenpast,

S^|pi^^^^||i||niinpr,oader section 61of

the Municipal Oofrporations Acthe mustbe twenty-one ye&rs of age toentitlehimtogeton the roll.VHe therefore had noright to voteandhityvote also would bestruck off. Mrs Hessderson, it was al-

,leged,"presentedherßel|*£a**tfte> -but wasrefuseduntil sheproduceVl a papershow-ing that she was entitled! to the vote,and sne didbring apaper.\Therollborethe name

"representatives of CharlesHenderson,",and the probate producedshowed there were two e^flcutors, andtheright to vote wasinroe onfcfcem, andnot inMrs Henderson/ That Vote alsowouldbestruck out. He wbund^-np byasking the Clerk of the Court to coofitthepapers. /

Mr O'Eeilly objected to the courseIhis Worship was taking. . This was ajudicialinquiry,! andhe enteredhispro-test: the ordinary rules of evidencewerenot being followed. '.

His Worship went by the ordinary jrules of evidence. !

Mr O'Eeilly said surely he would,but.ithad not been proved that Gordon waspartof theborough, and the threevotes !disallowed were inGordon.

' IThere ensued a long discussion, two !

andthree sometimesspeakingat theone!time.

—Mr O'Eeilly aliened that the i

B.M.s decisionwasa shock to thepub- jHe feeliDg, and asked him to reconsider;the matter. Ho would submit his repu-tation as a lawyer of some 20 years'practice that the petition could not besustained.

— M"r Neaveoffered to haveafresh election, and argued that MrDolamore hadnot been dulynominated, j—

Mr Fletcher saidthe other side had imade a mistake in withdrawing theirpetition,and werenowmaking anappealadmisericordiam.

His Worship was sorryhehadnot the"equityand good conscience"

clause togo on. There wasa heavypowerplacedinhishands and he would execute it.He could see there werestrongpoliticalfeelhigs in the case.

Mr Neave only asked for justice,:and

His Worship said he would got that. ;"

He would take the points raised intoconsideration,and give his decision at 3p.m.next Wednesday. |

CONCERT AT WAIKAKA.♥

(Prom our own Correspondent).For the first time on record the

Waikakft sports bad to he postponedowing to the continuous rain throughthe day (Monday), and up to a Jatehour it seemed as if the concert wouldi\lpo be a failure. It wasnot, however,ruch an eiißy matter to postpone thefjonciu-fc, m certainperformers bad been(iogagcd,and of course were availableonly on that ni«hfc. It was thereforedecided toput on the show-.for thosethathad already turned up. A Btrongcontingent had been promised fromKeteo,but it washardly to be expectedthat these would venture out. TheKelso performers, however, werenot tobe daunted by wind nor rain, andarrived at the appointed hour, andby the time fixed for opening a goodhouse was seated. In spifco ofall the drawbacks that militatedagainst a good attendance, a crowdedhouse (about 150 all told) listened^ tothe best concert without exception,that haß everbeen got up in the hall.The, attendance unmistakeably showstheconfidence the public place in theentertainments given here. Mr A.Harvey waschairman for the occasion,and filled the position perfectly. Theconcert was opened by the K>lsoStringBand, Messrs Paton, Grurick,Halcrow, and Master Riddell (violins).Hansen (cornet), and Mias Paton(pimno). This item, was rendered insplendid style, and indicated bothcareful training and ability. Thepleasure of the audience was un;;bounded,and they would noc be deniedan encore.

— -— . _> The committeeof the Farmers' Clubmet onThursday,22ucTinst.,toconsideranalyst's report on limestone, whichwaß as follows :"Mr Wilkmaoa rnports result of analysis of

Btonesubmitsd per Mr Holms :—

35-0 per cent ganyne (silica, clay,etc)54-65 pur cent carbonate of lime (whichin-

Balance water.Drawings of an American lime kilnwere shewn by Mr Crosbie, and by MrNoble after the system in Scotland ofwhich he had experience. Mr Noblegaits approved of the plan advocatedby Mr Crosbie if for permanent use,but his idea would suit bettor fortemporary works and experimenting ifit was purposed to doso.

Mr Croßbie held that evenif only fortemporary übo, the design shown byhim would bemost serviceable in thatit wouldbe necessary to be able toaddto the fuel so as to thoroughlyburnthe stone, whereas in Mr Noble's thestone and fuel werebuiltup in alternatelayers, firedand closedup, and with thefuel at command it would not wotk.It was doubtful if the lignite wouldfire right up through the kilu.

After consideration, Mr Orosbiemoved that it be a recommendation tothe Club that Mr Spratt be subsidisedtoan amountnot exceedingL5for thepurpose af burningakiln.

—Carried.

The Club did notmeet tillafter fiveo'clock, it being hard to geta quorumtogether. Ultimatelyfive membersputin an appearance,And it was decided totake up the business. The secretarynot being present the reading of theminutes was dispensed with.

The President (Mr T. Ayson) ten-dered his resignation, giving as a reasonthat he had beeninformed outside thathis position was injurious to the Club,and judgingby what the meetings hadbeen lately he had come to believethere was sometruth init.

Mr CarpenterhopedMr Aysonwouldwithdraw his resignation.

Mr Cushniehoped thatas they wereat the 11th month the president wouldcontinue in his position. The annualmeeting would take place in Febiuary.

Mr Noble could not believe therewas a feeling against the president.The smallattendance at their meetingswas merely from the fact that therewere very few interesting subjects laidbefore the members for discussion.

Mr Cushnie moved that the resig-nationbe not accepted, and felt greatlydispleased with the president atresigning office in the last month ofhis term and trustedhe would recon-sider his decision. Every public manhad toput up with rebuffs of this sort.They could not escape it, it beingimpossible topleaße everyone.

Mr Beange said previous chairmenhad had to contend with similardifficulties.

Mr Ayson agreed to withdraw hisresignation, on condition that air theannual meeting it be part of the busi-ness to ascertain whether the clubshould carryon ornot.

The recommendation of the com-mittee on limewas then read.

The Chairman stated that thecarbonate of limewas simply chalk andhehad heardit saidthat inBorne landsit was a good fertiliser— equal in facttopurelime.

Mr Cußhnie said'if the committeewho were in the majority at themeetinghad formedan opinionon thissubject, it wouldbe hardlyworth whilehis movingacounter motion. (No,no.jWell, he would move that the Clubbefore doing anything further firstascertain fromProfessor Black the truevalue of carbonate of lime.— MrBeangeseconded.

Mr Ayson thought they should alsoascertain at the name time the value oflimestone found by Mr Noble in theWyndhamValley, wherethereappearedto be a very fine crop.

— Agreed to andmotion carried.

The President moved the secessionof theClub from the Farmers' Union,not considering the advantage ofmembership sufficient to continue con-nection withUnion. Steps werebeingtaken to form in Invercargill aFarmers' Union for Southand, and'■hese weremeeting withhearty supportin the Western district. He wasactingaa secretary, and it was purposedholdingthe first meeting on the secondSaturday in January. The DunedinUnion was practically defunct. TheGore Club had lately been trying toresuscitate it but it waß appareptly ahop'ess case. The South'and Unionvouldbe formedby individualmember-ship, annual fee epph member 5",instead of by deleg t\

Mr Ciuhnie w*s of opinion thatthisClub had already severedits con-nection,and it was useless bringing itup. The annual meeting 12 monthsago was advised to take place on »certain date", and 'he advice was onlyreceived by the Club on their right ofmeeting— which was came date a3 thatof theUnion. TheClub thereforetookncvaction and did cot recognise theUnionthereafter. Therefore it wouldbe best to drop the subject.— MrCarpenterseconded. "

The present age is essentially one ofCo-operation, and any syßtem whichenablesthe lender andborrower to jointly share theprofits al'ising from the employment ofcapital most commend itself to thepublic,

Building Societies pursue auch a system,and whencarefully managedhaveinvariabhproduoedpood result*.

The Promoters are satisfied that the timv.has arrived whena Building SocietyforGoreand tbe Matanra Valley should bo success-ful, and now invite the public vo becomeShareholders.

The smallness of the monthly yistalm-intplaces itwithin the meansof all but&sei&'totake up Shares, and thepromoters hope thatthe Besident9 in tbeTown andDiutricfc willdo their utmost to make the venture asucceßs.

Many advantages will suggest thenußemsas certain to flow from thts establishment ofa local Building Society, but the promoterswould especially deßire to point out thefollowing:

—Ist. Every^erson desireus of obtaining a

homo will be enabled to do so at amonthly cost of little more than anordinarylent,

2nd. The comfort and happiness of thecommunity will in consequence beincreased, and habits of thrift en-couraged,

3rd. Good and safe investments formonthly savings will b.e available to.every person in receipt of a regularsalary.

4th. The value o? property will be en-hanced by means being provided forcheaply utilising viic*nt buildingsites,

As the results produced by these Societiesdepeud upon tbe economy and efficiencyof their management, the fact thut everyShareholder will havea voice in the controlof the affaiis o£ the local institution mustinspira confidence.

This Company has been formed to acquireand further develop the well-known andhighly profitable Milling Business of MessrsFleming and Gilkison, including- theirthoroughly equipped and fully employedMills at Invercargill,G-ore and Winton.

The extraordinary development that hasta&enpiace duc'ag the last few ye&c<sia theagricultural resources of this district ie sogreatas tojustify the anticipation that atnodistant date Southland mill rankas oneoftbemost prosperous districts in the colony.The promoters of this- 'Company are aostrongly impressed with, this visw of affairsthat they consider the present time to bemoßt favorable for starting a milling busi-ness, tobe owned,by the settlers ofthe sur-rounding distriofc, and to be workedon practi-cally co operative principles. Tho trendofthe age is manifestly in favorof combinationand co-operation, and therefore the pro-moters have determined to give the pro*dnccrs and consumers of this district anopportunityof becoming interestedincarry-ing on a busineßß on whioh their own pro-sperity so largely depends.

With this object an agreement has beenentered into between Mr G. C,Tothill, In-vercargill, and Messrs Fleming andGilki-son (which, may be seen at the office of thesolicitor) for thepurchaseof their extensiveand well-appointed premisesatItvtrcargill,Gore and Winton, together with the good-will of their well establishedand thrivingbusinesses in these centres. The termsuponwhioh the right to purchase these has beensecured are considered by competent judgesto be highly tatietaotory,ard tbe face thatthe vendors are prepared to retain a largeinterest in the concern, and that theirservices as Managershavebeen secured for atermof five years, are a sufficient guaranteeto intending shareholders as to thebona fidecharacter of the undertaking, aswellas anassurame that the Management will leavenostone unturned tomake theconcernas sue*cessful in the future as it has been in the

EXIT 1832.Eheanother issue, of the Ensign _is inour readers' hand? theyear of grace1892willhave been gathered to its predeces-sors. The year which is nowdying willhare brought the usual vicissitudes.Some whoenteredupon it with renewedhopes hove had these hopes frustrated.Others who were lowlyat thebeginningare now at the top. Some goodresolu-tions havebeen kept;many others have,alas, been broken. Freeh resolutionswill no doubt be made, and these willshare thesame fate.

The dawn of 1892 was obscured bythe sombrepinionof theAngelofDeath.The influenza, another debt which therest of Europe owes to Russia,laid lowmany whose names were householdwords. The Duke of Clarence andAvondale,heir-presumptiveto theBritishthrone, was cut off on the -eve of hiswedding;Cardinal Manning, that wiseCatholic prelate, whose big heart wasfull of Christian charity regardless ofsect, died on the same day; Spurgeon,whosehomely eloquence won for him apulpitat theage of nineteen and a placein thehearts of his congregation, whichwas the civilized world, which can neverbe filled, followed, and the death ofTewfik Pasha,KhediveofEgypt, threat-ened toopen a way for fresh Easterncomplications. Professor Freeman,great-est of modern historical wordpainters,and Walt Whitman, the rugged butndblc-minded Americanpoet,followed inthe gloomy procession to the darkbeyond. Lord Sherbrooke,betterknownasRobert JLowe, who bore anamewellknown in colonialand English politics,diedin July,andinOctober thegreatestof them all, TeDnysou, bade adieu to asorrowing world after a life spent inennobling humanity. In the colony welamentthe death of Sir HarryAtkinson,wornout at the age of 61in theserviceof .his f^untry, and at his death, asduj^fog-iils life,not aspeck was foundon■Sis spotlessshield. The Old World hasseen therise anddecline of another epi-demic of cholera, which arose inCash-mere, and swiftly sped across Asia,through Russia into Europe, and ex-hausted its fury at Hamburg. Like aseoond Attila, the scourge of God, it laidwaste the plains of Asia, but not likehim, it met Mr John of Sobieski tocheck its career under the walls ofVienna. The choleraandthe influeDza—almost all epidemics— arecalledNature'sscavengers. They bring swift retribu-tion to the guilty, but, alas, they punishtheinnocentas well.

The year has seen the fate of theSalisbury Government.and the rise ofGladstone to power,

"The hearts of

Gladstonecannot go with the Parnellites ; he can-Dofc even grant what the Redmonditesask, buthe willdevise something. Whatthat is is known to one man besideshimself, and that man is a compositornow setting up;.,the Bill,and locked up insolitary .cpnfinement, lest the precioustruth eßdajje toosoon. Meanwhiledyna-miting goes on as merrily as in thedays of coercion. London public officesare auarded night andday,DublinCastlehas been attacked; so thateven thepre-mise of HomeHulehas not placated theextreme section. Too many make alivingout of agitation toallow it todiequietly.

The Tzarhas as usual been threatenedbyNihilists, and has had his peace ofmind disturbed by a famine in thesoutherndistricts. The light of civiliza-tion knocks in vain for admission toRussia. The censor shuts out Westerninformation, and the knout and Siberia

APPOINTMENT OF JUSTICES.

TO 'JHB EDll'OB.

Slß,— My attention was drawn theotherday to a paragraph that appeared in thecolumns of yoar contemporary (written Iunderstandby oneof theappointee*), whichpays in referring to the appointments:

—!'Messrs Baj^er and Martin's appointmentswill eqaaUae masters in Qpre, fleretoforethehoiiois werenearly all on the othersideThey, wiih MrJ Beattie (who m an exper-ienced J.P.)» will worthily represent theLiberal Juterests." My first impulse onreading the abore was to cut it out andsend it to the Minister of Justice, but itstruck me it was he who made the ap-pointments, Ithas alwaysbean the boastof.a Britisher that the Magistrate's bench'' wasfree from allpartyfeeling, and this attemptfco introduce it iaan iosuic to the Ja.P. andthe public generally,apd ifallowed to goonwill seriously interfere with the administra-tion of justice, and the result of the casssthat comebefore the Court willdependonaperson's politics.

Gore Mayoral Election.Tuesday, Dec. 27.

MrJ.S. ClendoD, K.M., heldaCourtat7 p.m. tohear a petitionpresentedbysixelectors of the borough prayingthataninquirymight bemade into the elec-tionof MayorofGore, andthat the elec-tionofMrI.S. Simsonas Mayorshouldbe declared void, and that Mr AlfredDolamore should be declared dulyelected,on the following grounds:—

1. That some person, to wit, JamesMarshall,of Chatton, nearGore,farmer,voted for the said I. S. Simson byfraudulently impersonating anotherper-son, to wit, James -Marshall, ofWinton,laborer,with the privity and consent ofthe saidI.S. Simson.

2. That several peraons voted whowerenob entitledto vote, qigongst othersbeing (1) the said Marshall; (2)ReginaldPay,ofGore, clerk, a minor;and (3). Emma Henderson, o£ Gore,widow, whosename was not on the elec-toralrollfor theborough.

Messrs Henderson and Fletcher ap-peared for the petitioners,and MessrsQ'Jieilly andNeave for Me Simson, theMayorelect. S

Proceedingswere opened by th© olerkof the Court reading the advertisementsnotifying thepetitionanda counter peti-tion by six other electors, who askldthat the whole election be declared voidon theground that thepoll wasnot openwithin the hours reqnired by the"Regulation of liocal Elections Act,1376," namelyfrom 9i a.m. to 6. p.a.oftheday appointedv whereby twoor worevoters were prevented from exercisingtheir"votes, ""

':'-^'y. ". .;': -■ ■.:'■■:- ::..:

His Worship said he would hear thefirst petition and; take;the other after-wards, and proposed that the Courtshould adjourn until next morning, towliiohMr Fletcher agreed, but Messrs:d'Eeilly and S>ay purged,that thenaseshouldatMsil^c^mi v9i9S9^M***

M Fletcher commented oof the fact n>:that both set& ,of petitioners\wanted f\Mr Simson ousted* and if the first peti- --r\tioa succeeded therewas no necessity,to \go on*with the second; He did! net vthink it was neoess'ary to open his^oase.andasked for- ah adjournment until the'morning; , .I <

Messrs O'Beillyrand Neave thought'the case shouldBe opened before any ad«journmeritwas granted,and '

raisedanobjection.to the fit., fpetition.onthe ground thatit'was not accordingtothe form in the schedule to the Act. ,There was an additional prayer in tfaepetition presented, asking that MrDolamore mightbe /declared to bo duly

'elected. \ >

His Worship ruled that the objectionwould not hold:the meaning was the ,same andthe wording of the Act hadbeen fallowed, and the objection raisedwouldnot make the petition bad.

Mr O'Eeillyurged that thelawshouldbe strictly.- administered however defec-tiveitmight be, and submitted that iftheprayerof the petition were grantedit wouldcause an extraordinary,vacancy.Mr Henderson :. That's what youwant.

His Worship referredtosec. 6(J of theRegulation of Local Elections Act andafter some further argument . .

Mr Fletcher opened the case for thepetitioners;* AsSo theformof thepetition,,he'maintained it was quiteright and in;-suppj^rt of his contention quoted from-Maxwell on the interpretation ofStatutes.; The petition was presentedunder seotion 48 of the KegulationoLocal Elections Act by.six electors onthe twogrouuds mentioned; He referredto each of the three rotesobjected to,seriatim, and if the first objection wasestablished, then Simson's election wasvoid and the other candidatemust bedeclaredduly elected. The burgevs rollwouldshow therewas noEmma Hender-sonentitled to vote and evidence wouldbe giventhatBeginaldDay waa aminorand>could not vote. He read the sectionsof the MunicipalCorporationsAct underwhich therollwas preparedand pointedout that- the returning officer was 'altogether independent of the boroughcouucil. Going bark to the questionof tbe right of Emma Hendersonto vote he said that it was notin thepower of the ReturningOfficer todecide who therepresentative of thelate0.Henderson was; that would be shownby the probateof his will. Thenif thesethree votes werestruck off therewouldbe a majority for the other/owdidate(Dclamore),andbe asked thatDolamoreshould be declaredelected. Referring tothe questionoffrand in the first allega-tion,it was well-known that the district,was remarkable forhard swearing,and if "he opened up his case too much thatnight it washard to say whatfraudulentcombinations there.might be before nextmorning. .

MrNeave took exceptionto theselastremarks which were tantamount tocharging himself andMr O'Reilly withpossibly concocting or conniving at afraud.'

Mr Henderson interjectedthat if theoap fitted, MrNeave mightWear it.His Worship threw oilon the troubledwaters, and adjourned the Court-untiil10 a.m.next morning. ;

,Wednesday,28th Decbmbbe. l -

On resuming at 10 a.m., witnesses.were orderedout of Court.George Brett deposed that he wasTown Clerk of Gore. Produced minute. 'bpok showing that "on resuming (from

committee), it was reported that Mr & -\Brett had beenappointed Town Clerk."Mr O'Reilly objected to Mr Brett'sappointmentas noib being byresolution' tj

oi the Councilorunder its seal. '-.JaWitness hadacted as Town Clerk andHReturning Officer, and made up the'

Vburgess roll for the current year,whichheproduced.Mr O'Reilly objected to the burgessroll: alterations madehad not been in-itialled,by theMayor as providedby theAct, nor was the roll certifiedtoby theMayor and twoCouncillors. The Courtcouldonly receive judicialevidence,and,thatadduoed wasclearlynot legal. Theymight as well put in anylist of namesfrom Lunedin or Invercargill, for if theroll produced was evidence, anythingwas. The roll might have been alteredandfalsified; there wasnothing to showit was not.

-Mr Fletcher said these points couldnot be raised at thi* stage, but werematter for furtherargument. Theymust

tam

ed

bp-'&esß rollas 'fc existed.% Tjie-S..M. took a nute of the two ob-jections.

Witness, continuing, deposed to thenames of the petitioners being on theroll,and to the personsmentionedin thepetition (Marshall, Day, andMrsHen-derson) voting. Mrs Henderson camein themorning,but was not permittedtovote. The sc utineers, however,agreedthat she was entitled to voteafter shehad brought a note fromMrE.MacGi-bbon, giving particularsof the transfer ofa section inEast Ward from himself toher. AndrewAitken was uponthe rolland was thenominator ofMr Sirason.The lastquestionwasput>aftor agreat \deal of recrimination between counsel.Witness,in answer to Mr O'Reilly, fur-ther deposedthathehad takenMr Dola-more's cheque for the deposit of LlO.On one occasion he had got gold, buthad often taken cheques. . ■'
