At the Dunstan two public meetings have lately been held. One was for the purpose of hearing from Mr. Brodie, M.P.C. aud M.U.R., an account of his proceedings at the recent session of the Provincial Council, and of organising a testimonial to that gentleman expressive of the approval of his constituents of the manner in which he had represented them. The other meeting was a complimentary one to Jackson Keddell, Esq., late Warden and Resident Magistrate at the Dunstan, who has accepted a captaincy in the Auckland Militia. The inhabitants had subscribed a purse of 100 sovereigns, and the cost of a handsome sword, which latter had, however, not arrived from Sydney in time for presentation. The proceedings were of the most enthusiastic character, and indicated the high position in the regard of the inhabitants Mr. Keddell has earned by his faithful and painstaking discharge of the onerous duties of Warden of that important district.
