numbered fourteen, show the claim of your Suppliants in respect of the said sum of two thousand and twenty-seven pounds seventeen shillings and twopence. 10. That all conditions were fulfilled and all times elapsed and all things happened to entitle your Suppliants to payment of the_ said sum of two thousand and seven pounds seventeen shillings and twopence as aforesaid, and to maintain their claim thereto. 11. That during the progress of the works in the said contract mentioned, and before the completion of the same as aforesaid, your Suppliants, at the request of your Majesty, supplied to your Majesty, for the purposes of the said works, certain plant and materials, for the use of which your Majesty agreed to pay to your Suppliants, on demand, a reasonable price. 12. That the sum of one hundred and thirty-five pounds is a reasonable price to be paid by your Majesty to your Suppliants for the use of the said plant and materials, but, although your Suppliants have frequently demanded payment of the, said sum of one hundred and thirty-five pounds from your Majesty, your Majesty has hitherto wholly failed and neglected to pay the same, and the same is still due and owing from your Majesty to your Suppliants. 13. That the particulars hereunto annexed, and marked C, and written on the sheet of paper numbered fourteen, show the claim of your Suppliants in respect of the said sum of one hundred and thirty-five pounds. 14. That all conditions were fulfilled, and all times elapsed, and all things happened to entitle your Suppliants to payment of the said sum of one hundred and thirty-five pounds as aforesaid, and to maintain their claim thereto. 15. That during the progress of the said works, and extra works as aforesaid, it became, and was the duty of your Majesty, according to the provisions of the said contract, to do, or cause to be done, with all reasonable speed, divers acts and things to be done and performed by or on behalf of your Majesty, in order to enable your Suppliants to carry on and complete the said works and extra works with all convenient speed on their part within the time in the said contract in that behalf mentioned ; and particularly to furnish to your Suppliants certain rolling-stock, plant, and materials suitable for the works in the said contract mentioned; and, as provided thereby, and to give to your Suppliants all necessary orders for alterations, deviations, additions, or extra works which might, during the progress of the said works, be required by your Majesty to be done, and to give to your Suppliants the possession of lands required for the purposes of the said works; and to make progress payments to your Suppliants in accordance with the provisions of the said contract, and to cause the amounts from time to time payable to your Suppliants to be duly certified to them, and otherwise to do, or cause to be done, other things necessary for enabling your Suppliants to carry on and complete the said works within the time mentioned in the said contract, or within a reasonable time thereafter, and otherwise so as not to impede or hinder your Suppliants from carrying on the said works to profit. 16. That your Majesty, in breach of your Majesty's said contract in that behalf and to the great damage of your Suppliants, wholly neglected and refused to do, or cause to be done, with reasonable and convenient speed in that behalf, the several acts and things by your Majesty agreed to be done as aforesaid, in order to enable your Suppliants to carry on and complete the said works, and extra works, with all reasonable speed on their part, and within the time in the said contract mentioned, or within a reasonable time thereafter, whereby your Suppliants were greatly hindered and impeded in the execution of the said works, and extra works, and were compelled to expend large sums of money, which they would not otherwise have been compelled to expend, and otherwise suffered great loss and damage to the damage of your Suppliants of seven thousand nine hundred and forty pounds seventeen shillings and eightpence. 17. That the particulars hereunto annexed and marked D, and written on the sheet of paper numbered fifteen, show the claim of your Suppliants in respect of the said sum of seven thousand nine hundred and forty pounds seventeen shillings and eightpence. 18. That although your Suppliants have, frequently requested your Majesty to pay to them the said sum of seven thousand nine hundred and forty pounds seventeen shillings and eightpence, your Majesty has hitherto wholly failed and neglected so to do, or to pa} r to them any part of the same. 19. That all conditions were fulfilled and all times elapsed, and all things happened to entitle your Suppliants to payment of the said sum of seven thousand nine hundred and forty pounds seventeen shillings and eightpence, and to maintain their claim thereto. 20. That your Suppliants also claim interest on the several sums payable to them as aforesaid from the several dates on which the same, or any part of the same, became payable until payment. Tour suppliants therefore most humbly pray that your Majesty will be most graciously pleased to order that right may be done in the several matters aforesaid, and that your Majesty's AttorneyGeneral in New Zealand may be required to answer the same, and that your Suppliants may henceforth prosecute their complaint in the said Court, and take such other proceedings as may be necessary. And your Suppliants, as in duty bound, will ever pray, &c. John Broqdek- and Sons.
