THE HANDLING OF MEAT.

(Per Press Association.) Wellington,. October 16. In reference to the London cable challenging .- his remarks concerning the handling of New Zealand meat in London,. Dr Chappie, M.P. for Stirlingshire, hvlio is now in Wellington, states: "I do not describe what I do not see, and I do not exaggerate what I do see. I went there and saw for myself ■ what I" described J*' and the evidence of one man who sees a thing is worth the evidence of a dozen who do not .see. Accompanied by Mr W. D. Lysnar (Mayor of Gisbornc) and Mr J. C. Field (of Gisbornc).! visited the barges at the. Albert''Docks, and saw w,hat I described. I reiterate ■ that the condition of the barges-was bad, and the barges are entirely unsuitable from' their condition and from the delay in transit up the river, which varies from 24 hours on ordinary days to 48 hours when Sunday intervenes."
