A meeting was held at Grahamstown last night to discuss the advisability of adopting a memorial for presentation to the new Governor, praying that the proclamation be not withdrawn from the Patetere block. The meeting was numerously attended, and the proceedings were most orderly. The following resolutions were carried: — That a respectful address be presented to Sir A. Gordon, asking him to retain the proclamation over Patetere “ That the address be presented by Sir George Grey.” Mr Speight, M.H.R.. referred to Mr John Sheehan in connection with the transaction, and also to the telegram published in the “ Star ” of last evening from Mr Sheehan, asking the public to withhold their condemnation till he addressed his •constituents. Mr Speight said the fact of a man defending himself before he was attacked led to the impression he had something to defend.
