MR CORRIGAN’S CHARGES.
DEFINITE DETAILS WANTED. (Per Press Association.) WELLINGTON, July 15.. During the course of bis remarks in the House of Representatives this evening in the Address-in-Reply debate, Mr Corrigan made reference to some members of the Cabinet owning land in the vicinity of the new railway station on the Henderson line, and accused the Minister of Justice with appointing Reformers as Justices of the Peace and rejecting Liberals. This drew from Sir James Parr an emphatic denial that Liberals had been rejected as Justices of the Peace because of their politics. The appointments in question were made on the recommendation of the late Uo-der-Sccretary for Justice and for no other reason. £>ir James Parr also denied that he was in any way interested in land on the Henderson railway line.
When Mr Coates rose to speak in the debate, he at once challenged Mr Corrigan to say to which Minister he referred when he suggested that one member of Cabinet had benefited by the building of a' railway station on the Henderson line. This was a serious charge and he demanded definite information on the point.
