THE BRYCE-RUSDEN CASE.
THE GOVERNMENT SENDS A PLAIN
MEMO RE SIR ARTHUR GORDON. [by telegraph.—special cobbespondent.]
Wellington, Saturday. I understand that this business is not nearly terminated. Further correspondence has taken place between Mr. Bryce and the Government and the Home authorities through the medium of His Excellency the Governor. Mr. Bryce, I learn, points out to Lord Knutsford in reply tohislordship's letter that he saw no reason to interfere ; that if Governors like Sir Arthur Gordon met in executive council with ministers of the crown, while at the same time engaged in undermining their political and personal reputation, and such conduct received condonation at the hands of the Imperial Government, it would be impossible to get colonists to respect the Queen's representative. I understand that the Government have also forwarded a Cabinet memo reviewing Sir Arthur Gordon's official conduct, and vindicating Mr. Bryce's reputation as a minister of the crown and a representative in tho General Assembly. It is understood that the memo is about the straightest bit of plain speech that the Colonial Office have received for many a long day.
