The executive of the Ne\y^Zealand Alliance to-dav resolved “That this meeting enters a strong protest againstthe granting of wholesale licenses for the sale of liquor in the King Country. It.regards such action as a gross -violation of the campact made by the Government with the Maori chiefs of the Kino- Country, namely, that the sale ot liquor should be prohibited throughout the district. As these licenses were oranted on the deliberate and casting, vote of the presiding magistrate against the- majority of the elected members, this executive resolves to bring the matter under the notice of the .At-torney-General, 'as it is clearly a breach of the spirit and intention of the Government proclamation. ’
