THE DISMISSAL OF DR SKAE.
The following is from the Wellington Correspondent of the “ Lyttelton Times”: —The decision that Dr Skae should get six months’ notice was only arrived at after very strong pressure had been brought to bear and amongst those behind the scenes it is known to be a reversal of the first intention. Strong Scotch and clerical pressure was in the first instance brought to bear on behalf of Dr Skae, to which Ministers showed every indication of yielding, but within the last few days some of their strongest supporters have intimated that they must expect strong opposition from them when the item of Dr Skae’s salary came up on the estimates. One of the supporters especially gave it to be understood that he would not wait for the estimates but would table an adverse motion. It is thought that Dr Skae will accept six months’ salary and retire immediately.
