There is hot work m the A ssembly over the telegrams ordered to he produced by the Government, Sir George Grey being ..very indignant at the action of the Government m the matter. This indignation comes strangely after the McDonned correspondence affair of 1875. The Auckland Star's correspondent under the heading of "Those Telegrams" says:— " Among the telegrams laid on the table an electioneering agent, stating : ( l cannot .work the eleotion unless you give me free use of the wires.' In another, one Minister telegraphs to another : ' If the telegram is embarassinsy, throw the whole responsibility on me. Do not hesitate to sacrifice me. Put me out of the Cabinet if neoossacy to save yourselves..' " At the Board of Education on Friday, an application for the enlargement of the school at East Hamilton was made.
