[Advt.J STATUTORY DECLARATION. The following is published by authority of Mr Pitt's Committee. W. C. llarley, Chairman. New Zealand to wit. I, Bernard Cosdell, 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 bad a conversation, 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 £oman Catholics had promised htm their votes, and I pledged him my own and undeitook to canvass for him, and I did so, and stated to others that Mr Adams waa in favor o.f 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, and he asked me what Father Garin had said with reference to the election. I told him, and he said that was fair enough. I then told him that I was very sorry, but that he had gone too far on the education question in his speech, and I could not, for this reason vote for him. He said, " Yes," that he had gone further in his speech on that question than he intended, but that his Committee urged him into it. And I make tbis 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." Bernabd Condell. Declared at the Citj of Nelson this thirtieth day of January, 1879, before me, Alfred Greenfield, a Justice of the Peace for the Colony of New Zealand. [Advt.] STATUTORY DECLARATION. I, William Acton Blakeway Adams, of the City of Nelson, Solicitor, do solemnly and sincerely declare : — 1 . That I have read Bernard Condell's Declaration (printed by Mr Pitt's Committee daily in the Mail) with surprise, though I notice that he does not pretend to state what / said, but what he understood. Now, I am positive that I told him that Father Garin was opposed to me on the Education question, and that my reason for seeing him (Condell) was, to ascertain how far Father Garin could compel the Catholics to vote in a block against me ; and he told me that he did not entirely agree with Father Garin on education, and that he was content to send his children to the Government School at Stoke at first, and to the Sisters in town to finish their education. He told me that several Catholics would vote with him, and he promised to see them for me. 2. I am quite certain that I never told Mr Condell that I was in favor of Curtis's Bill. And I was always distinctly opposed to making any exception at the public expense, in favor of a class. 3. 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, intituled " The Justices of the Peace Act, 1866." • W. ACTON B. ADAMS. Declared at the City of Nelson, aforesaid, this 3rd day of February, 1879, before me, A. J. Richmond, a Justice of the Peace of the Colony of New Zealand. 388 Hoiloway's Pilis.— Pure Blood. — When tbe Blood is pure, its circulation perfect, and the nerves in good order, we are well.
