LAND VALUES IN WELLINGTON.
mm A CLERICAL INDICTMENT. [press association.] AUCKLAND, October 15. Some interesting addresses were delivered to a meeting of men in the Baptist Tabernacle last night upon the attitude of the Church towards presentday labor problems. The Rev. North, of Wellington, referred to the high price of land in Wellington and the little back yards no bigger than a blanket, which workers had to be contented with. He was as certain as he lived that Wellington was one of the scandals of the universe. The working men's children were forced to play in the streets, hotbeds of corruption; his own children were also obliged to play there, because he could not afford a bigger rent. There was a Kelly gang in the form of a land syndicate, and land-grabbers going round Wellington, arid the sooner they did away with them the better. His definition of the rights of man was that every man should get a fair whack.
