TRUST BUILDING CASE
APOLOGY TO THE JUDGE.
EXPLANATION OF CABLEGRAM
(Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, August 26,
In explanation of the cablegram received by Mr Justice Long-Innes, and signed with his name, Mr H. P. Richmond, of Auckland, has sent the following cablegram to Mr D. Maughan, K.C., Sydney: “Please express my regret and- apologies to Mr Justice Long-Innes in respect of the cablegram sent to liis associate concerning the Trust Building. The cablegram was sent in my absence from Auckland through a misunderstanding arising out of a long-distance telephone conversation between myself and my office in which, on instructions from the debenture-holders, I gave authority to send a cablegram to the Sydney solicitors or counsel. My clerk was faced with practical difficulties in instructing the solicitors or counsel; and the matter being regarded by the debenture-holders as of extreme wgency, be thought my authority was wide enough to cover communications to his Honor’s associate, and chut this would not be objectionable.
