DUNEDIN.
December 14
At a public meeting at Milton on Tuesday the following resolution was carried : —" That the local shareholders in the Milton Pottery Company express their willingness, if required, to pay up at once the unpaid calls on their shares so as to assist the directors in re-instating the works, and to take up further shares if tbe company should require the issue of additional capital."
An enquiry as to tbe origin of the recent fire at the Milton pottery was begun on Tuesday, but nothing of interest or tending to throw light on the origin was elicited. The fire began in the packing shed, and could have been confined to that portion _had proper appliances been at hand. An adjournment was made to allow of the presence of the last person on the premises. Sir Julius Vogel arrived here by express train last night, but it was only upon the publication of the evening papers that it was known he was coming. No preparation could therefore be made by his friends to receive him. However, the Mayor (Mr Gore), Mr Bracken, M.H.R., and one or two other gentlemen met him and gave him a cordial welcome, to which Sir Julius fittingly responded.
