THE AUDITOR-GENERAL.
TALK OF A SUCCESSOE. (By Telegraph.—Own Correaponaeot.) WELLINGTON, this day. On Monday I intimated the probable relinquishment by Mr. Gavin of his position in the public service on the score of ill-health. The question of his successor and the attendant promotion of other officers is now made somewhat compli-' cated by reason e£ the desire of the Controller and Auditor-General, Mr. Warburton, to seek a respite lrom his official duties, as the extra strain of work brought about by Mr. Gavin's absence from the colony has had a deterrent effect upon his health. Rumour says that Mr. Warburton would throw up his high office to-niorrow were it not for the possibility of a prominent official of the Treasury stepping into his shoesFrom this it may be inferred that the official relations of these gentlemen are not of the most harmonious character. Mr. Warburton is 3aid to favour the appointment of Mr. P. E, Webb, Lhief Audit Inspector, as his deputy, whLe on leave, and competent authorities are understood to have expressed the opiniop that such a course could be adopted.
