-By Telegrash — Copyright).
SYDNEY, Friday. Unless Mjr. J. T. Lang apologjse? to the Prernier, Mr B. S. Stevens, for'having made a certain statement, he will be proneejled against for slander. The Premier, speaking at Ryde, made the following statement: Mr. Lang is reported to have said that I promised to restore buses so as to serve the interests of a wealthy bus-owner, and in pursuance of his vile accusation he declared that this wealthy bus-owner provided me with a private car for my personal use." "There is not a shadow of truth in what Mr. Lang says, and the only way to mak-e men like Mr. Lang sit up is to bring them before the courts of the land. If Mr. Lang will not apologise and admit that he told an untruth, I will issue a writ for slander and bring him before the court and compel him to take his medicine."
