MIDLAND RAILWAY ARBITRATION.
iPKESS ASSOCIATION TELEGJRAM.) WELLINGTON, November 30. Mr Blake intends to try and get the arbitration finished by Christmas. The Company's witnesses are expected to take ten days, and the Crown's a fortnight. Mr Gully applied for further particulars as to the Company's claims in respect of mining reserves, clause 33 of the contract (dealing with applications for land), timber claims and generally as to the various matters claimed.
For the Company, it was contended that further particulars as to clause 33 were handed in yesterday, and this was admitted. The Company then agreed to give as many particulars as possible regarding the mining reserves on Monday.
Mr Gully announced that the Government was willing to accept Mr BJake'a suggestion to treat the notice of the appointment o! arbitration given by the Company to the Crown, as giving notice of the other matters mentioned in the second statement of claim, in addition to the seizure of the line, (The effect of this will be to now bring within the scope of the arbitration all the objections held by the Company since the ssizure of the line on the 14th January, 1895). - ■ .
