Tin: Hon, the Minister for Lands has received direct from Mr A. W. Hogg, J?gg,U., a valuable testimonial to his administrative incapacity, which vimls up in the following graphic terms;— "But excessive rent, extra burdens for roads that exist onlvon paper, evil reports and , tlirciitoiiijig circulars and memos from the Land Office, the neglect to answer > letters, or, issuo leases enabling settlers in their hour of need to borrow, and the maintenance of a goncrnlly unfeeling attitude towards tlic men whose dangerous and nriluous toils ontitle them to solicitude rather than oppression, is just the way to keep the bone and. sinew-ijjitiof tlic bush, which under better auspices would quickly be convci'tod into smiling homesteads."
