The Westport Times AND CHARLESTON ARGUS. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 26, 1868. THE KYNKERSLEY REPORT.

The Commission appointed to enquire into Mr Kynnersley's conduct, have lost no time in sending in their report, and aa every one knew it would be, it is satisfactory to the chief, and indeed, we may say, the only person really interested in it. 'We extract the following from the Colonist of Friday last:—'" In the House on Tuesday lust, Mr Curtis asked the Colonial Secretary, if anyjreport had been received from the gentlemen appointed as a commission to enquire into the conduct of Mr Coumiissioner Kynnersley, in reference to the late disturbances on the West Coast, to which Mr Stafford replied that the commission had brought up their report which he had that morning^perused; and he was pleased to state that such report entirely exonerated Mr Kynnersley from any blame in the matter; and the action taken by that gentleman at the time, showed a coolness of decision and good judgment under the circumstances. Mr Stafford complimented Mr Kynnersley, at whose desire the commission was appointed, and agreed with the commissioners' report, which said that the course taken by that gentleman assisted materially in checking what otherwise might have proved a serious disturbance, and was the means of establishing a better feeling among all classes in those districts, as well as saving a large expense to the Grovernment. The report, he added, spoke somewhat rebukingly of the unofficial terms in which Mr Kynnersley's reports to the Grovernment on the mibjoct were couched, and with which opinion the Goverument also were agreed; but beyond that, he had to inform the House that the result of the commission showed no blame attachable to Mr Kynnersley, and he had given instructions to communicate with that gentleman in accordance therewith.
