THE DAVIES-MILLEDGE CASE.

Melbourne, May 24. The Solicitor-Genei’al has decided to file a presentment against Sir M. Davies and Mr Milledge, but Sir Bryan O’ Loghlan, Attorney-General, has instructed the Crown Solicitor to ignore Mr Isaacs in the matter The latter replies to this action by throwing the responsibility on the Government of deciding which Minister it will support, May 25. The Premier has called upui Mr Isaacs Solicitor-General, to resign, and he has willingly complied. Mr Isaacs, the late Solicitor-General, has also resigned his seat in the House, and challenges the Government to contest the constituency with him, to show in what light the electors regard the policy of the Government. It is probable that an application will yet be made to have the Grand Jury enquire into the cases. Both Davies and Milledge are prostrated with anxiety consequent on the proceedings of the last few days, the former being confined to his bed. London, May 25.. The Financial Times expresses astonishment at the failure to put Sir M. Davies on his trial. The recent fiasco was a mere burlesque of legal procedure. Full inquiry is imperative for the honour of the colony. The Westminister Gazette commends the Victorian Solicitor-General for his action.
