THE IMPERIAL INSTITUTE.
SUBSCRIPTION OF £1000. [BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Wellington, Thursday. , The Hon. George McLean has subscribed £1000 to the Imperial Institute Fund, and there is every reason to believe that another gentleman will give a similar donation. Several others will give hundreds and fifties. THE DISMISSAL OF MAJOR GARNER. | BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] Wellington', Thursday. The dismissal of Major Garner, Commanding Officer in the Napier volunteer district, is gazetted. Napier, Thursday. Major Garner announces his intention of proceeding for libel against the Wellington Post and the Press Association for a telegram published by the former and telegraphed throughout the colony by the latter, to the effect that the Defence Minister, after enquiry, had determined to dismiss Garner, one of the alleged grounds being an assault by him on a volunteer in uniform. He denies that there was any inquiry into this charge, and states that the first he heard of this affair was from the paragraph in question. He was never asked lor any explanation or defence, although the regulations provide for inquiries into all such charges.
