A DEPUTATION OF WOMEN. THE MINISTER GETS A LIVELY TIME OF IT. (per press association.") Melbousne, This Day. The Minister of Lands bad a lively time of it at the hands of a deputation of women who waited on him to protest against treatment of Robertson, secretary of the Struaurobertson (?) village settlement. The Minister told the deputation that Robertson had accused him of being intoxicated when he vteited the settlement. "So you were " cooly replied one lady while another coaxingly added " But its not so very dreadful to get tipsy.'' The Minister denied that he was intoxi eated on the occasion mentioned.
