Deputation to the Colonial Treasurer.
(Per Press Association.) Dunedin, Nov. 29. • To a deputation from the Law Society, urging the purchase of the Colonial Bank Buildings as a Courthouse, the Colonial Treasurer said he was disposed to purchase the building for postal, telegraphic, and telephone business if price was not too high, and leave the whole of the present building for the Courts. The revenue at present from tenants of the Colonial Bank building was £900 a year, which would be considered as that would not be dispensed so long as tenancy did not interfere with public debts. It was all a matter of price assuming the Bank was prepared to sell.
