THE MACARTHY BEQUEST. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Friday. Mr. Justice Chapman to-day granted an application for a judge's certificate under the Legislative Act, 1908, that the objects of the Maearthy Trust Bill are unattainable except by legislation.

The Bill will also make provision for the acting of successors of the trustees and for the appointment of one or more advisory committees. AN EDUCATIONAL INJUSTICE. ■Wellington, Friday.

One side of the ease had been taken off, all the goods stolen, and the ease neatly repacked. LAKE COLERIDGE STRIKE. Christchurch, Friday. The strikers at Lake Coleridge declare that the official report by the Minister for Public Works is incorrect in several particulars.
