THE CASE OF MR DIXON.
AUCKLAND, May 11. A deputation from the Drury indignation meeting waited on the Hon. J. McGowan concerning the casr: of Mr Dixon, who was imprisoned for failure to obey an order of the Court to pay back wages of an employee. The deputation considered that no punishment should be indicted because Mr Dixon employed a man who was an apprentice and not a journeyman. The sentence of two months' imprisonment was, they considered, too severe. Mr McG( wan promised to give due consideration to the arguments advanced by the deputation. Mr Dixon had received every consideration. He admitted that he had the means to pay the fine, but declared that it was his intention not to do so. Mr McGowan did not think, he had either the power or l ight to interfere, but promised to reply as early as possible to the deputation.
