He, however,- exercised the power given under the contract to nominate a substitute to receive the service, and he nominated the Hon. R. J. Seddon, Minister of Public Works, as his substitute. Notice of arbitration has, therefore, been personally served on Mr Seddon, together with a farther notice warning the Government not to alienate
any of thedand included in Map B attached, to the contract, and over which the company claims a lien. The, claim for damages to be preferred by the company against the colony on the points oh which- arbitration is demanded will, it is said, amount to about £1,500,000.
