The want of it, however, need not preclude any relief to Mr. Jones in the way of legislation, if any such be possible. We do not suppose that any evidence given by Mr. Bryce would be essentially different from that given by him before the Public Petitions Committee on the 15th July, 1885, the minutes of which have been put in evidence before us. Given under our hands and seals at Wellington this 20th day of August, 1888. (1.5.) G. B. Davy. (1.5.) J. M. Eobeets. (1.5.) Hamueea Mahupuku.
