CABLE TO SYDNEY. Per Press Association. AUCKLAND, Aug. 26. With reference to the cablegram from Sydney regarding the Trust buildling, in' which Mr Justice Long-Innes referred to a message sent by Mr H. IP. Richmond, of Auckland, Mr Richmond has sent the following cablegram to Mr D Maughan, K.C., Sydney:— “Please express my regret and apologies to Mr Justice Long-Innes in respect to the cable sent to his associate concerning the Trust Building. Tho cable was sent in my absence from Auckland as a result of a misunderstanding arising out of a long-distance telephone conversation between myself and mv office in which, on instructions from the debenture-holders, I gave authority to send the cable to Sydney solicitors or counsel. My clerk _ was faced with practical difficulties in instructing solicitors or counsel, and, tho matter being regarding by the deben-ture-holders as of extreme urgency, he thought my authority was wide enough to cover communications to His Honour’s associate and that this would be unobjectionable.”
