Poverty Bay Standard. SATURDAY, JUNE 24 1882.
The Committee of the Cook County ‘Council appointed to consider Mr. McDonald’s “ Native Land Court Act, 1880, Amendment,” met yesterday in the Council Chambers, and framed a set of resolutions to be placed before the Government, requesting their support to this Act, or some Act whose purpose should be similar. We think Mr. McDonald’s Act to the point, well framed, and •exactly what is required. It is to be hoped the Government will assist in passing this measure.
Mb. Price, our Resident Magistrate, ■possesses an equanimity of -temper few give him credit for. Yesterday morning he was, by the prisoner Dixon, most grossly insulted in terms ■which very few wielding the power lie possesses would have permitted to have passed unnoticed. The most offensive epithet, to our mind, that one man can have applied to him from another, was loudly, in open Court, hurled at him ; and yet Mr. Price never once lost his temper, but calmly treated the objectionable remarks with the contempt they deserved. Messrs. Bennett and Fisher adjudicated on Dixon’s case, and to our great disappointment, let him off ■with four months’ imprisonment with hard labor.
