DUNEDIN.
This day. Mr Bathgate, E.M., has stated his intention to bring an action for libel against the Times and Witness Companies for comments made on his judgment re striking out £5 19s for whiskey in a case which a grocer brought before him. He refused to allow the item for spirits as shopkeepers should not sell liquor on credit.
Mr Stout, M.H.E. for the Caversham district, addressed a large meeting of his constituents last evening. In the course of a long speech he sketched out what he conceived should be the future form of Government for the Colony, namely, four new provinces for both: Islands as formed; an Upper House, consisting of members elected by the Provincial Councils; the General Assembly only meeting at long intervals ; and the functions of the General and Provincial Legislatures to be clearly defined. The speech was very favorably received, and the meeting passed a resolution approving of Mr Stout's past action and requesting him to again come forward as a candidate to represent the districts.
