The. Auckland Observer gives tho following description of the Premier’s Auckland meeting :—“ William Biohardson was there, and there on mischief beDt. He had a seat at one of the proas tables, but as he had no reporting to do, it was obvious that he had got to the front for some , -*»r purpose. When the vote of thanks *nd P "'cnnu. J ' r,OB was moved the purpose was Plain-a hostnC William sprang for the platfoi.— A score of other people wore before *.* r> crowded in to prevent him from getting there. Under some kind of misapprehension, a couple of police officers also barred his way, and for ten minutes there was uproar. Then the Mayor had him admitted to the platform, but for another quarter of an hour the audience hooted and yelled. Obviously William wasn’t wanted, and he did not get a hearing. The Mayor at length took his amendment as read, and through the tumult declared it negatived, and the meeting ended with the carrying of the confidence motion and another quarter of on hour of hilarious cheering from King Dick’s faithful followers.”
