THE RAILWAY INQUIRY.
NO ILL-FEELING SHOWN.
Per Press Association. WELLINGTON, June 25,
"I think we may say that when we started we had some qualms as to what might happen," remarked Mr Justice Frazer at the concluding stages of the Railway Inquiry Board's sitting this morning. "So fur as lam concerned, and I think so far as members of the board are concerned, wo have been surprised because tho case has been conducted without any ill-feeling at all. I was satisfied the department's case would he well presented bv Mr Sterling, and I have been agreeably" surprised with the ability and care with which Mr Connelly has placed his side before the Court. We have had less difficult cases that have extended over several 'week-." His Honour remarked that the most difficult work of.the board had yet to he done. The Arbitration Court members had other nppointmnets to go to. but they were putting those aside, and they would go into this case and get out their report as soon ar- possible, not only because tho case was important, but because their other v. ork was getting behind. The order of reference gave them until July 31 to present their report, but they expected that it would be in the hands of the .Minister much earlier than that.
