He also asked, whether it would not be better to sell the meat in New Zealand at cheap rates rather than let it go bad in store. Mr. Mtisssy said that ho had not been able to procure details of what had happened in this matter. The Mimsler of Agriculture lmd instructed tho Director of tho Department to telegraph to Canterbury for full particulars When theI}*1}* arrived no doubt tho Minister would be glad to furnish the information to tho House.
