PAYMENT OF MEMBERS' FUND.

TO THE EDITOR N.Z. TABLET. Sib,— At the solicitation of many patriotic Irishmen of this district I beg to bring under the notice of your readers the necessity of redeeming the pledge given by the New Zealand delegates at the Melbourne Convention, relative to the " Payment of Members' Fund " Now, that the general elections are drawing near, it is incumbent upon all who have the interests of tbe National policy at heart to bestir themselves in this matter. By the Melbourne Advocate may be seen the activity that prevails in the other colonies, and it would ill become the Irishmen of New Zealand, who have been ever foremost in supporting any movement that aimed at the amelioration of their kindred s condition in Ireland, to be wanting at this important crisis. *

v i j"f ™ eetin g of tbe Kumara Branch of the Irish National League held last Sunday, the following resolution was unanimously agreed to :— -"That a committee' consisting of 'seven members, with the President and Secretary, be appointed from this meeting for the purP oß e °f canvassing for subscriptions towards the Payment of Members' Fund. The following members were then chosen — Messrs. Gilbert 'President), Moran, Hayes, Tansey, Burke, Murphy. Clune, Wall, and Duggan (Secretary). They intend to hold their first meeting, next Sunday, after which energetic action will be taken, and, from past experiences, they have every hope that: a generous response will reward their efforts.— l am, etc., Patrick Duggan, Kumara, Oct. 7, 1884 .
