CHRISTCHURCH.
Yesterday. A cablegram has been received from Sir Julius Yogel stating that he cannot leave Melbourne for a fortnight^. Another lively meeting was held in a portion of the Stanmore electorate tonight, at which resolutions condemnatory of Mr Pilliet's conduct were carried. The Lower Heathcote School Inquiry. Dr Giles, the Commissioner appointed by the Government to enquire into the circumstances attending the dismissal of the Eev. G. Wilkes from the head mastership of the Lower Heathcote School, gave it as his opinion that Mr Dayies might sometimes, in the exercise of his duties as chairman, have remained in the school room for a longer time than was desirable. Mr Wilkes, however, had not remonstrated as he should have done, but had gone to one of the pupil teachers and spoken against Mr Davies in a manner he should not have done. Dr Giles' opinion was that the'matter mentioned in Mr Wilkes' letter of May 2 did not justify his letter of March 29th. It was almost incredible that the head master of a public school should act as Mr Wilkes had done. The report stated that the charges were not substantiated, and that Mr Wilkes' conduct was totally unjustifiable.
