Resolutions were carried unanimously declaring (1) the necessity of the Government, as trustees of the people of New Zealand, insisting, as a matter of principle, that the oontract deliberately entered into by the Midland Railway Company after due and oaroful consideration should be carried out in is entirety ; and (2) respectfully inviting every member of the Legislature to oppose tho commission of a breach of oontract that must inevitably form a most dangerous precedent and inflict a grievous wrong on this district, which has waited so long end made so many sacrifices in order to be included in the arterial railway system of the colony.
