ARSEVTO AND SALT TO3KTHER. Wellington', November If). The N.Z. Times this morning says that bags of salt were landed yesterday from the Rakaia, broken and gaping. At the same time tins of arsenic were put out from the ship, one of which also was broken and gaping. The two had been lying close together, and corrugated iron near by. The limes soundly rates those responsible for this caielestness, and hints they will be liable to fifteen years' penal servitude if anyone is poisoned, and advises the firm owning the salt to throw it all into the sea, under a penalty of having their name published. It concludes :— " A more murderously careless, disgraceful, criminal abomination has not been discovered here since the first ship arrived in Wellington.*'
