THOSE COAL AREAS. Per Press , Association. Wellington, Last Night. Opposition critics have expressed a good deal of curiosity as to the legal authorities upon which the Government relies in the position it has taken up regarding a coal-hearing lease in a perpetuity area in Southland, and the Prime Minister to-day made the following statement on the subject: "The position .taken up' by the Government is founded upon an opinion furnished by the Attorney For obvious reasons I don't, at the present time, propose to make public the contents of the opinion, but' I may say that I have this morning received from the Hon. Mr. Bell, K.C., an opinion in which he supports in a most positive way the view taken by the Attorney-General."
