VERY SENSITIVE.
MEMBER REFUSES INCREASED PAY. (Received Last Night, 9.35 o clock.) SYDNEY, November 13. While the Assembly was dismissing the estimates, Mr Wood protested against the Treasury paying into the Bank his share of the increased salary which members had recently voted themselves. He characterised as a. piece of unwarrantable impertinence the attempt to phioe him in a false position by making him accept :tn increase against which he had voted. He had returned the fust instalment, and would not draw the increased pay in future. (The above incident had a. panllel in New Zealand, when Mr Fred. Pirani refused, for a time, to draw what was known as the -10 steal.'")
