[FROM THE CORRESPONDENT OF THE PRESS.] Auckland, October 16. Dr. Campbell lias declined to stand for the Mayoralty. Mr Broomhall’s son takes up tbe cudgels for his father in to-day’s “ Herald.” He says if there is any breach of faith, it is on the part of the colony, who. engaged tluough the Government, to transmit to his father a title to the property within three months while ho was prepared at the same time to carry out his agreement in its original integrity. Eighteen months had now elapsed and he had no title yet. It should not therefore be wondered at that there might be some alteration in the scheme, although the writer doubts if there is any intended. He should like to ask Sir G. Grey, Messrs Sheehan, Moss, and other hon. members if they expect English capitalists to keep their money laid by month after month until it suited the colony to say “yes” or “no” to a plain bargain. William Johnston, charged with forgery, was remanded. Inspector Goldie has seized a quantity of rotten fruit exposed for sale in various shops.
