THE NEWTOWN PARK SCANDAL.
(OUH OWN COREESPONDENT.) Wellington, This Day. The Private Commission set up to enquire into a public scandal, to wit, the march of the skeleton brigade from Newtown Park, held another cold and lonely sitting yesterday. It appears that by a judicious system of cross-examining those witnesses who have already been examined, the Commission has possessed itself of the names of some of the volunteers who took part in the proceedings arising out of the military mismanagement of the camp at Newtown, but as some of these young gentlemen are away back in the kopjes and bushlands of Wanganui and Hawke’s Bay, beyond reach of telegrams and subpoenas, it is suggestsi that the Commission should quit the draughty drill shed at Wellington, and set out after them.
