[Advt.J STATUTORY DECLARATION. The following is published by authority of Mr Pitt's Committee. W. C. HABtEY, Chairman. New Zealand to wit. I, Bernard Condell, of Stoke, in the County of Waimea, farmer, do solemnly and sincerely declare — 1. About a month ago Mr Acton Adams came to my house at Stoke and asked for my vote for the forthcoming election. We then had a conversatiou, amongst other things, about Curtis' Bill. I said. this should be sufficient for anyone, and I clearly understood and thoroughly believed from the conversation with him that he would support this Bill. He told me that other toman Catholics had promised him their votes, and I pledged him my own and undertook to canvass for him, and I did so, and stated to others that Mr Adams was in favor of Curtis' Bill. These facts I mentioned before service on Sunday morning last, and, as I am informed and believe, it was from the statements I then made> that Mr Frank wrote his letter of the 27th instant. 2. On Sunday last I met Mr Adams when the congregation came out of St. Mary's Church, aod he asked me what Father Garin had said with reference to the election. I told him, and be said that was fair enough. I then told him that I was very sorry, but that he had gone too far on the education questiou iu bia speech, and I could not, for this reason vote for him. He said, " Yes," that he had gone further in his speech on that questiou than he intended, but that his Con mittee urged him into it. And I make this solemn declaration, conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of an Act of the General Assembly of New Zealand, entituled •• The Justices of the Peace Act, 1866."
