The Resolution TO the Queen and
the Sieners of the Same.

the Queen, several native policemen
stated last night that the sigma.
tures were not voluntary The peti-
ZION was kept by Police Captain
Robert Parker, in the Station, and
each policeman was requested To sign
Ii by that official. The natives were
aware that if they did not accede TO
Parker's wishes out they would 60"
The foregoing paragraph APP
peared in Yesterdays issue of the
ADVERTISER, and was printed as an
absolute fact. Further inquiry
makes it doubly certain, notwith-
standing the very late after
noon papers statement that a re-
porter of this journal was inter-
viewed by Parker, and that he (the
reporter) made a retraction and
said other things too numerous to
mention.
The fact of the matter is that
Parker did not see the editor, or
any reporter, of the ADVERTISER
nc interview took place and no re-
traction was made.
Speaking of the police petition,
the same was fully discussed about
town yesterday, many people COM
pairing it to a farce comedy, while
a few friends of Wilson's pro-
claimed it diplomatic stroke (?l
worthy of the empty brain that
conceived it.
CABINET MAKING.
Cabinet making was decidedly
quiet yesterday, and if it had not
been for the proceedings at the
House in the morning, the gossips
would not have had anything in
teresting to talk about.
During the debate Ashford gave
"Billy" Cornwell a dressing down
that made the little majors hair
curl; the remarks referred to the
part Cornwell took in regard TO the
"Sam Parker petition to the
Queen"
1t will be remembered that the
Lawmakers who met in caucus
on Monday evening appointed a
committee of three to present the
appended resolution, and Rep.
Bush was placed on the committee.
1t is understood that the Queen re-
fused to receive Mr.. Bush as
member of the committee, on &C
count of his alleged utilization with
Garibaldi Wilcox, SO another gen.
tleman was substituted.
The following is a copy of the
resolution passed in caucus, and
presented to the Queen yesterday
morning. The names of the
signers are appended.
RESOLUTION.
Be it resolved that whereas a reso-
luton of Want of Confidence in the
Cabinet was passed by the Legisla-
ture on August 80, last, such resolu-
ton being passed by a vote OF 81
to 10;
And, whereas. by reason of the
adoption of such resolution the con-
stitutional necessity has arisen of
selecting a new Cabinet;
Now, therefore, we, members of
the Legislature, feeling this to be a
fit occasion to more firmly establish
the constitutional principles upon
which our system of government is
based, do hereby, regardless of pre-
vious party utilization, declare that
under the principles of responsible
representative Government estab-
lished in this Kingdom, Her Majesty
should summon a leading member of
the Legislature who voted in favor Of
such resolution of Want of Conf
dence, to form the new Cabinet,
thereby recognizing the constitu-
tional principle that the Cabinet
should possess the support and con-
tidence of, and represent the MAORI
ty of the Legislature, the elected
representatives of the people;
And, resolved, further that we do
hereby pledge ourselves to govern
our future action as members of this
Legislature in support of this consti
tutional principle.
