PER OREVHLE’S TELEGRAM COMPANY, REUTER’S ACESTS
DUNEDIN, Tuesday, 1.10 p.m. At the Civil Sittings of Supreme Court, the Bendigo breaoh-of-promise case resulted in the defendant agreeing to marry plaintiff. In the House of Representatives on Saturday, Mr Shepherd (member for the Dans tan) called Mr Mervyn “ a laughing jackass.” Mr Stafford, in a conciliatory speech, has moved for a Committee of Inquiry into the management of the Telegraph Department. The Government acceded to the motion, on condition that their private telegrams were not examined.
Ministerial explanations wore well received. Some alarm was created at Napier, in consequence of a report that TeKooti was within fourteen miles of the town. Sentries were speedily posted, and reconuoltering began. The cause of alarm proved to be a party of children pic-nic-ing. Another Maori prisoner has died in the Gaol. The Government intend to nominate Maoris to seats in the Legislative Council.
