The meetings further resolved that the matter should not be allowed to rest, without an endeavour being made to obtain fairplay for the Chinese. London, August 9. In the House of Commons to-day SIC John Gorst, replying to Sir George Campbell, said that the New South Wales Chinese Restriction Act provided for the legal redress of grievances, and indemnified the Ministry for the action taken by the Government in the matter? of refusing to allow Chinese to land inthat colony.
