allowed both Ida feeUngs and prejudices to influence his judgment in issuing such a document as Ms appeal to you. I know well that an honourable man's private affairs may be temporarily or even seriously'embarassed, but I also know that no honourable man, -no man with a single spark of honour in him, would resort to the unutterably mean and disreputable modes to which he has 'resorted to evade hia embarrassments. No honourable man ' Would have resorted to the public fundsto relieve his private necessities for a single hour ; no honourable man would have granted post-dated cheques to public officers upon -an account where he knew he had no funds. . • " -His -Honor appeals to his past character and conduct : his public conduct, I presume, though where the commercial man ends and the Superintendent begins is not in his transactions very clearly defined. Part of his public conduct is now before you. You remember his statements at the Southern separation meeting, which have been so clearly proved untrue, and wfiich have given such an impetus to separation in the South.. These -are "specimens— favourable specimens of bis conduct in his mixed character. His conduct, both, public and commercial, has been the one 'blot on Ifeme of Otago, and has caused'her to 'be pointed al with the finger of BCd'rb throughout the neighbouring provinces and colonies. Instead of building, he has endeavoured to sap the foundations of public morality in the Province of OtagQi. and it is only the prompt, 'unanimous, land decided step of your Provincial Council which has saved the Province from the disgrace -of conniving at -his Honor's nefarious conduct. If you endorse his Honor's conduct, you utterly blast-and rtiin ihe character of Otago forpublic'feith,:public honesty, and public morality i antj render it * "spot which all honourable tnen will avoid as tainted with a moral pestilence.
