EX-CAPTAIN KNYVETT.

HIS COMMITTEE NOT TIRED. STREET COLLECTIONS MOOTED. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) Auckland, March 24. Mr. Dickson, chairman- of the Knyvett Defence Committee, in an interview to-day said that Cabinet evidently considered that the Knyvett' case had been disposed of once and for all. In thinking that, however,' a very great mistake was being made. Representations were made to the Eons. G. Fowlds. and Dr. Findlay on February 14 last relative to further action, but Cabinet did not bother to consider the question until yesterday. "We now know where we are," declared Mr. Dickson, "and it remains for the people to say whether justice shall be done. 'Tho Ministry refuses to give us satisfaction, and so wo have no alternative but to carry on our campaign, and demand justice through our representatives in Parliament. The Knyvett Defence Committee will redouble its activity, and arrangements will be made straightway for holding another mass indignation' meeting in one of the theatres. It is likely, also, that the committee 'will undertake a Knyvett Saturday_ collection in tho Streets. Many ladies have already signified their willingness to assist in such an undertaking, and at a meeting to bo held this afternoon, we will discuss a proposal to organise Street collections on some specified Saturday; and so enablo the committeo to secure possibly a couple-of hundred pounds to form tho nucleus of a fighting fund, and thus carry on a campaign throughout tho Dominion."
