BILLS OF LADING.
Wellington, this day. A deputation' from thfl Chamber of Commerce interviewed the Premier on the subject of bills of lading, pointing out that so many exemptions were inserted. It was almost impossible in the case of damage to obtain redress. Mr Ballance thought it ■was a matter for the Imperial Government to legislate upon, as the colony could not pass an Acb which would aSect the bills of lading issued ab Home. He promised, however, to consult the law officers of the Crown and see whether anything could be done. The deputation also asked whether the Companies Act could not be amended so that articles of association might be altered in the direction of allowing an expansion of trade of a company. The Premier said he would lay bho matter before the Cabinet.
