ROYAL COMMISSION.
SALE OF MEAT WORKS
( By Telegraph. —Special to Star.) WELLINGTON, Jan. 28. The Royal Commission appointed to investigate charges made by the member for Gisborne in respect to the sale of the Poverty Bay meat works to Vestey Bros, will deal only with this subject-, and not with the claim of the Woolston Tanneries Company against the Crown. The latter was the subject of a report by a Parliamentary select committee, which recommended to the Government that the whole question he submitted to an inquiry by a judge of the Supreme Court. The correspondence between the Chief Justice and the Attorney-General, recently published, shows that the judges are disinclined to deal with a question involving political matters. The present position therefore, is that the Government has taken no action in connection with the Woolston Company’s claim.
