DUNEDIN.
Monday.
It is stated that Mr Boss intends to petition against Mr Driver's return for Boslyn, on the ground of bribery and corruption. At the official declaration of the poll to-day he said that if the electors had been left to vote as they pleased, Mr Driver would not have been returned. Mr Driver replied that this statement was an insult to the 335 electors who voted for him. Mr Ross said he would have insulted them had he kept a publichouse open for their convenience. Mr Driver replied, "It is a lie." Other personalities were also indulged in.
A telegram has been received from Government that, in reference to the site for the goods station/ they cannot act contrary to the opinion of Sir John Coode. Should the Government persist in adopting Mr Macandrew's plan, the local representative bodies will probably appeal to Parliament. ; Several members of the police force have resigned within tho last two months, in consequence of the low rate of pay.
