SIR GEORGE GREY AT AUCKLAND.
[Psb Pbesb Association.J AUCKLAND, Nor. 25. Sir Qeorge Grey addressed the City East electors in the Lome street Hull. He reviewed the Premier’s speech, and said the effect of an elective Upper House would be to doable the representation of wealth and property. He intended to devote his life to obtaining for the people their rights politically, and in the public estate, of which they had been robbed. In answer to a question, he said he did attend the Irish Land League meeting at Wellington, as he would a meeting respecting the land question in England and Scotland. He did not hear a speaker say he wished all landlords in Ireland were shot, as he left the meeting owing to indisposition before it was over. Had he heard such language he would have interfered and repudiated it. A vote of confidence was carried enthusiastically.
