SCENE AT A MEETING.
A CONSTABFK SENT FOR
Gisborne, October 11
A “ breeze ” occurred at a meeting of the Land Board on Saturday. The Commissioner ruled that Mr Eustace Lane, a member of the board, could not refer to some Napier case when a discussion was proceeding regarding the question of the board’s power to grant a transfer. Mr Lane refused to submit to the Commissioner’s ruling, except a majority said that he should do so. A constable was sent for, and on his arrival the board’s secretary touched Mr Lane on the shoulder, and conducted him out of the room, the latter remarking that an assault had been committed, and that he had acted as he had done for the good of the country.
