JUDGE BARTON AND THE GOVERNMENT.
(PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) WELLINGTON, March 11. With reference to Judge Barton's statement at Gisborne, the Timet officially states that the payment stopped was not salary but merely » proportion of the travelling expenses while the Judge was absent from the colony. This is following the regular rule. Mr Carroll's statement that he would resign had reference to Judge Barton being appointed to administer the Act, and nothing else. The Judge wrote that unless the money was forwarded be would not open the Court, and the Government informed him that if he persisted they would take legal steps. Judge Gudgeon has been acting in Judge Barton's place, and if the latter maintains his attitude the former will be asked to continue.
