THE MEIKLE COMMISSION.
Per Press Association. Wellington, January 7. When the Meikle Commission resumed to-day a discussion took place as to whether it would be necessary to call Mr McNab, Minister of Lands. Eventually counsel for Meikle admitted as correct a letter selling out the terms upon which the grant of £3OO was made by Government to Meikle on Mr McNab’s solicitation, Meikle undertaking that if the grant was made he would not trouble Government again. Counsel contended it was a private undertaking and in no way binding on Meikle. Counsel for the Crown submitted that on receiving the money Meikle signed a discharge in full of all claims against the colony. Counsel's address is how proceeding.
