We have been requested to give the following explanation as to statements which have been made respecting the action of the Hon. the Minister of Lauds in relation to the removal of a ranger in the employ of the Southland Waste Lands Board. A commission was appointed to inquire into the matter of the compliance with the conditions, settlement, &0., as recommended last session by the House of Representatives. The Hon. Mr. Macaudrew did not address the Southland Waste Lands Board until the commission had reported, and in transmitting a copy of the report to the Board the Minister wrote in complimentary terms of the notion they had taken. Sir John Richardson tendered his resignation to the Board in consequence of the alleged dismissal of the ranger ; but that officer was not dismissed, he being removed to another district, to which he was a stranger. When Sir John Richardson became aware of the real position of affairs, he withdrew his resignation, and is now a member of the Southland Waste Lands Board.
