Midland Railway.
(Per Press Association). Wellington, May 28. The Post says :— " The Midland Railway Company's representatives in the colony have, pending instructions from Home, given notice to all their employees on the line not to pay any attention to the seizure by the Government, They are preparing a formal protest against the action taken by Ministers in seizing the line. If the seizure is persisted in, the company, after protesting, will probably allow the question of right to remain in abeyance until the Arbitration Court is properly constituted and able to deal with the whole case on its merits. It wiil not permit itself to be pinned down to a narrow legal point irrespective of the broad equities involved in the case. Mr Harris, of Christchurch, solicitor of the Company, arrived here from Christchurch to-day to confer with Mr Geo. Hutchison, the Company's counsel."
