ONEHUNGA BOUGHS
A very considerable section of the inhabitants of Onehunga have succeeded in earning for themselves the reputation of being— far and away — the greatest blackguards in the colony, by their disgusting and cowardly treatment of the lady who was elected by tbe burgesses to preside over the Borough Council as Mayor. Whatever their excuses may be, or whatever reasons may be attempted to be found and set forth in justification of their shameful conduct, they will utterly fail to justify them or their conduct in the eyes of their fellow colonists. Their offence is one which is beyoud palliation. Fortunately for Mrs Yates she has tbe protection of the law, and what is even better now under the particular circumstances of her case, she is securing the warm sympathy of every man iv the more orderly parts of the colony, who has the slightest chivalry iv his disposition.
