AUCKLAND.
This day.
Mr Seymour George, M.H.E., addressed the electors of Eodcey at Mahurangi yesterday, and received a unanimous vote of confidence. He anDounced his intention of again standing for the district.
Mr J. 0. E. Ellis, of Newcastle, owner of the barque Gazelle, which was recently forfeited by the Customs Department, and one of the largest ship owners in New South Wales, has instructed Mr Speed, solicitor, to take step 3to apply to have the recent decision of the Supreme Court reversed by the Court of Appeal. Mr Ellis is a member of the Legislative Assembly of New South Wales, and feels hurt by the imputation of smuggling, which he considers attaches itself to him so long as the ship is held by the New Zealand Government, and he intends to apply to the Privy Council before he will acknowledge the right of the colony to take forcible possession of the property belonging to an innocent owner, for an act which that owner cannot possibly either prevent or guard against. Mr Speed has been instructed to retain Mr Hesketh, of this city, who will be assisted by Mr Stout, of Dunedin.
The s.s. Doric's passengers were released from quarantine to-day.
