The language used by Mr Hayllar, QC, in his admirably, temperate ad dress on this point, is well worthy of attention. He said:"It seemed to him to be an excessively grave question which he now laid before them, and one of very grave importance in a Colony like this, whether any man was to take part in public life according to his so- lemn convictions, whatever they might ue, at the risk of his public character being assailed. But as it soenfed to him that seemed to be the point they came to within the four corners of this do cument. It was a very solemn question and one that came home to all of thom:
