The Banking Inquiry.
THE DISSOLUTION OF THE COMMITTEE. ■TO BE MOVED BY IJICCABTON RUSSELL. [By Tele(;uu-h.] i Fnvn our Special Corrc^jumdcnt.) Wellington, tbis day. The experience of the past fortnight on the Banking Committee has unmistakeably tended to show that the Premier has not forgotten how to stonewall, and it is evident that no result is likely to be arrived at before the Committee is dissolved. Day after day the examinations of witnesses have been conducted exclusively by Mr Seddon, save on Monday last, when he declined to go on with Mr Booth's examination, and Mr Montgomery took np the role for a few minutes, liven those who clamored loudest for the setting-up of the Committee are now convinced that no good can arise from it, and Mr "Riccarkm " Russell has given notice to move for their disbandment with a view to having them replaced by a Committee elected by the House by bailot. The lions Messrs Seddon, Larnach, and Downie Stewart have been summoned to give evidence before the Banking Committee of the Upper House. The Council Committee on the Banking question will report in a week's time, and their report is expected to be a valuable one. The feature of the proceedings has been the legal acumen displayed by the Hon Mr Ormond, whose examination of witnesses has been most searching.
