THE GOVERNMENT AND THE CONFISCATION OF RESERVES.
■Wellington, This day. Tho Government have replied to the remonstrances of the AVellington Harbor Board about the Government resuming possession of their reclaimed endowment for the purposes of a Printing Office site. The Premier says the " Government arc not able as the lavv" stands to give to the Board any compensation for the land in question, nor to assure them that an equivalent, whether in land or money, shall be given, but they believe that as a matter of policy an endowment once given to a public body such as a Harbor Board should not bo taken away without reasonable compensation. The Government will, therefore, recommend Parliament next session to amend tho law on the subject, so as to enable this or any similar case to be dealt with on its merits."
