MR. LANG'S CABINET.

RESIGNATION OF MINISTER. FURTHER CHANGES PROBABLE. SYDNEY. Juno 10. Although the Attorney-General, Mr. A. A. Lysaght, has resigned from tho New South Wales Ministry, bo remains a member of the Labour Party. The Premier, Mr. J. T. Lang, stated that the resignation was consequent upon an incident which occurred in the Legislative Assembly on Wednesday last, when the name of the Chief Justice, Sir Philip Street, was brought into controversy. Tho Premier declined to offer any further explanation or comment. The Minister of Justice, Mr. J. Larnaro, will probably be given the portfolio of Attorney-General. This will necessitate a reshuffle of tho portfolios. In political circles it is stated that the Law Reform Bill, which was introduced by Mr. Lysaght, will probably now be jettisoned.
