The pn.'.ition <•! tho several parties intorested in this matter is referred to in the leading columns of the New Zealaud Times of Thursday last. Tno writer says the Speaker has no ollicial cognisance that p'tiiion suit is pending. He uny issue hi> ; writ, wlvch may he iutarcoiited by a snpei seding writ of tin: Court held to try the petition. If the Court gives the seat to Colonel Fracer, then the Speaker will have to decide the 'joint- as to whether the Colonel's absence without leavu makes the
