SI K. —Seeing that you offer your services to represent the City West, in the' Provincial Council, I hej- to submit to you the following-: — Your are doubtless a ware that on the Bth of July, ISIiS, the whole ot tlie Militia and Volunteers wore ordered out. on " Actual Service," and that they have been out on yhrtinn tor periods Hxtending from one week to two month.'., from the 18th July,'lS6:». when one hundred and sixty of the First-class Militia, under Uapt. Mcintosh, mid about one hundred of the Auckland liitle Volunteers under ('apt. Dorrom, inarched to I >t.ihuhu. till the :ilst. March, !S(i t, when tlie shattered remnant of t tie First-class Militia, under Major Tighe, arrived in town, alter two "months' hard service at llrury; the Second-class and others doing duty here in town. You cannot but bo aware that the men havo sullen-il severe!v, both in health and ill pocket-: some of them being still on sick beds, some have died, and others, the ghosts of their former selves, ure just able to crawl about, the .scareolv living evidences of tho neglect of those whose fiat sent them from their homes. It ;s needless to point out to you the recognition by tbe iVovincial Council of the services of those who served in the " War of the North," by tho passing of the Naval and Military Scrip Act, 18,56. Tt is, therefore, submitted to you, if tlie Militia and Volunteers are not equally entitled to some consideration at th- lunula of tho Provincial (Journal, %iul it* »o, whether yon *ro to slronunusly and push forward thoir claims in the Provinciivl Ciiuiicil, bo that, tho CJoncnil A«ttotnhlv may fad coinpolleti to moto out to them tardy justice.

In reply to your enquiry eon-taiiH-ir thorein, I only say that having, with tho irtt*:it hulk of tho Auckland community, fully recognised the importance of the invaluable services which the Volunteers and Militia have, under pvat discouragement and much rendcicd to this I'rovincein the time of its need, it will indeed be verv ffnitifviiij* to me if, by any means. 1 can be made the humble instrument in obtaining for them that substantial proof of the public gratitude to which I consider them so fully entitled, I do not hesitate to express my own conviction that the Kepro'ent/stives of the people of this Province will only ufive effect to their constituents* wishes by employing legitimate irteans for placing the members of our own Loca*l Forces upon the same footing as that of tlie " Naval and Military Settlers," provided for in tho "Auckland Waste Lands Act."
