The New Hebrides.
A CLERGYMAN'S CHARACTER VINDICATED.
[ (PER PRESS ASSOCIATION/. Sydney, This Day. The charges brought by Sir Samuel Griffiths, of Queensland, against the missionaries in the New Hebrides have been investigated by the Presbyterian Synod. The charges were in ! connection with illegal trading and other unfair practices. The Rev. Mr Milne, missionary, who is under con trol of the New Zealand Church, and who had been accused of keeping grog and buying arrowroot with ammunition, disproved the charges brought against him, and the Synod held the whole of the charges to be groundless, and deprecated the action of a high officer of state making such accusations without enquiry. Sir J. B. Thurston, High Commissioner of the Western Pacific, has also enquired into the matter with satisfactory results to the missionaries.
