Thompson, stationmaster at Greytown, against his position on the classification list on the ground that the general manager had .not given a certificate, which was a necessary prelude to any promotion." Dr. McArthur held that there was no power to compel the general manager to give a certificate that might mean that classification was hot worth the paper it was written on.

The decisions will be forwarded to the Minister. Tlie Board dismissed the avppeals of G. Bennefield, cadet, Wanganui ; A. J. McPherson, cadet, Wellington ; P. McKewan, clerk, Aramoho.
