.. The suspension of Mr. M'Cullough does ■ not appear to have created tho same excitement amongst the railway, officials in Auckland that it baa in tho south. Inquiries!have elicited the information that-tho rules dealing with tho question were hard and fast, and they wore pretty generally observed. The. regulation occasionally was over-ridden to some extent. In tho case of Mr. M'Cttllowgh the view was held that ho had overstepped tho murk, and that his suspension was only n warning or a threat, whatover people liked to call it, to the railway service, generally that the regulations .must he observed. It was also considered that he would be reinstated very shortly. Opinion was divided as to the action of the Government, many saying that tho railway_ servants should havo tho same privileges as other workers, while, on the other hand, it was pointed out that those who joined tho servico knew of tho regulation.
