We cannot forget that you have always acted towards everyone, poor, rich, simple and gentle, as an upright gentleman Bhould ; and that while doing your duty impartially and honestly—all in kindly considerate feeling — you have always tried to ameliorate the condition of those over whom you have been placed in authority. You have al\yays aimed to promote good feeling as between "all sorts and conditions of men," and the people of the Bay of Islands District are unanimous in their praise of you for this " golden conduct." In bidding you farewell, we thank you for your good offices, your friendship, and splendid example. — Sincerely yours, T. Pearson M,oody, J.P. J. Ddnoan Harris, J.P.
