LIONEL TERRY
THE PETITION POR RELEASE. (Per United Press Association.) WELLINGTON, July 14. As fresh requests for copies of th« petition for the release of Lionel Terry are still arriving, the promoter, Mr J. L. Kelly, of Ashburton, has decided to extend the time for returning them until the end of the month, instead of the 15th. Hr Kelly states that the petition is being very largely signed, more especially in the South Island. Three sheets have been returned from Dunedin with 400 names attached, and ten other sheets are in circulation there. Most of the sheets, lying at the newspaper offices all over the Dominion, are signed without solicitation; but a few voluntary workers are canvassing. A Dunedin lady took a copy of the petition to a meeting of the Highland Society, and out of 70 people present 63 signed. She claims from this that 90 per cent, of the population are favourable to Terry’* release.
