A PROTEST.
TO TUB EDITOR. Friend, —I have Seen some words spoken by Mr Bell, the lawyer member in Parliament, which are printed in'Hansard, No. 37, page 1090. Those words are as follows: —“He (Mr Bell) had been acting for Warena at one time until he found that the only people who had any real interest in the block were the Muaopoko tribe, and he then refused to act any longer for aarnn who was simply robbing the other owners." Listen all ye* people, he never acted for me in the Horowhenna case, but he acted on the other side for Kemp. My solicitor, for Horowhenua is Mr Bamicoat, who has acted for me from the, beginning to the present day. Had Mr Bell not been speaking these words in Parliament I would have instructed my solicitor to bring him into the presence of a judge. Harken ye people, it is not the conduct of a gentleman to speak falsely, but what is to be done under the circumstances, as it is he alone who has degraded himself. This is my request to Mr Bell: Can he reply to'these, my words, which refer to him?—Prom your friend Warena Hunia Tb Hakbkb. Parawanui, 15th January, 1893.^
