NEW AUSTRALIA.
Svdxky, Ecbruary 25th. White, one of those returned from New Australia, in the course of an interview, said the scheme was the grossest and most cruel case of deliberately misleading people ever exposed, Utterly unfounded charges of drunkenness were made by the loader, Lane, agaiust four of the men, who scorned to give offence to him by studying the language of the country. White was ordered by Lane to search for these men and assist in expelling them from the settlement. He alleged that on his refusing to do so Lane drew a revolver and threatened to shoot him. Quarrels were of every-day occurrence, because of the airs assumed by *L;uie> Casey, Mooney and a few others who supported them. On being told that Casey was still organising fresh batches of emigrants, White was astounded, He said, "I think it is a great shame for the Government to allow the thing to go on. Casey knows the true state of affairs over there as well as 1. do."
