Those allocated to the South Island are oorrect as ■wired yesterday, and this leaves one to be allotted to the North Island, probably to Hawke's Bay. The Controller and Auditor-General yesterday reported for the information of the House of Representatives that the sum of £300 paid to Mr Rees, which was the subject of an investigation by the Public Accounts Committee last yeai», still remains to the debit of the cashier to the Treasury, no steps having been as yet taken for the rsoovery or discharge of the same. Last night, on the estimates being brought down, and on going into Committee of Supply, it wa3 proposed that the estimates relating to the Postal and Telegraph Departments be taken as being the least liable to controversy. A good deal of discussion was caused through the estimates not being in members' hands earlier in the day. Suggestions were made by members that the accounts had been " cooked," and the Government were trying to rush them through this year. The House was asked to vote a gross amount for all services in one sum. i The Speaker stated that he would consult the Chairman of Committees as the alteration made in the form the estimates, and took the opportunity of saying that he would be loth if understood him to sanction any de- " * from the mode in which the estimates had generally been heretofore brought downy Of course the new form in which they tabulated this year would have tended\to their being more rapidly passed
