APPROVAL OF HIS ACTION. Auckland, to-day. Mr Rees addressed the electors lasb night. There was a crowded meeting. Ho related in detail the circumstances of the Cadman-Rees episode. The meeting was orderly, and he had au attentive hearing.

That the omission of Mr Cad man to apply for a committee of the House for inquiry into the whole matter gives grounds for very strong suspicion that he fears to face a tribunal which is under the circumstances the only body able to clear hia character." The resolution was carried by about two* thirds of the meeting. A few held up their hands against it, and about one-third refrained from taking any part in the
