LATEST WELLINGTON NEWS.
(BT TELKGU.U'H — I'KKHS ASSOCIATION.)
Wkllikcto.v, List Night. Thk following appointments to commissions of the Peace have been gazetted : —William Moon, Cambridge; JohnCnultas, Mercer.
With reference to the recent telegram from Wellington, stating that New Zealand is now free from scab, and in all probability the whole of the colony would have a clean certificate in a few weeks, the Minister of Lands says, that although practically the colony is clear, yet technically it is not, as there must be a period of probation from the last dipping of the flocks infected. The last clean certificate was granted in Canterbury some three months ago, and at present there are only three flocks in the colony not holding clean certificates, one small farm lot in Auckland and two flocks in the Nelson district. Tho Minister of Lands thinks that the North Island will be declared technically clean in about a month, and the South Island in two months. It has been resolved, however, not to commit the error made on a previous occasion of declaring the colony clean even after the granting of the last certificate, but it is intended to allow a considerable period of probation to first elapse. Hon. E. Mitchelson, Minister of Native Affairs leaves for Auckland to-morrow.
