REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON HAWERA PETITION.
COMMITTEE PvEFUSES TO ENTERTAIN THE PETITION.
Wellington, Auguat », 3.30 p.m.-The Chairman of the Petitions Committee brought up the report of the Committee on the Hawera petition against the New Plymouth Harbour Board's alleged illegal expenditure. It is as follows :—: — "The Committee has taken the allegations of the petitioners into consideration, and obtained the advice of the Law Officers of the Crown ; and it appears that if the New Plymouth Harbour Board is expending its funds contrary to the provisions of the " Harbour Act, 1878," or any special Act affecting the Board, the petitioners can obtain redress in the Supreme Court. "As the law provides a remedy for the grievance complained of by the petitioners, the Committee cannot recommend the House to take any special action in the matter of the petition." The report of the Committee of the Legislative Council on a similar petition is in the same direction, but in somewhat different language.
