ANOTHER SHIPPING GRAB. AN M.P. PROTESTS MILLION LOSS TO SHEEPFARMERS THE GOVERNMENT QUESTIONED (Received 11.40) WANGANUI, This day. Mr Pearee, member of Parliament for Patea, wired to the Hon. James Allen: "No doubt you; have noticed the disgraceful grab by the shipping monopoly of a penny per lb. on wool, which means one million pounds sterlin to sheep farmers in New Zealand. Would you urge the Government buying or chartering ships to break down this monopoly, as wool can easily se held in New Zealand for some time." STRUCK OFF THE ROLLS. AN AUCKLAND SOLICITOR. WELLINGTON, This day. The Appeal Court made an order absolute, striking Charles Edward Harden, of Auckland, off the rolls of barristers and solicitors.
