The Evening Star. PUBLISHED DAILY AT FOUR P.M. Resurrexi. THURSDAY, MAY 12, 1892
With reference to the telegram which we published in our last issue from the Hon. E. J. Seddon, Minister of Mines, we might explain that we have good reason for believing that when he wrote, " I have no power to interfere with Warden in his judicial capacity, and cannot ask him to hold over eases until after my visit to the Thames," Mr Seddon was under the impression that the miners' right cases were actually before the Warden's Court. It is difficult to see how he could have made such a mistake in the face of the wording of the messages for* warded to him by the Hod. A. J. Cadman and the Committee of the Miners' Union, but nevertheless such a misunderstanding has arisen, and Mr Seddon does not seem to have been aware that he was merely requested to have the matter of the enforcement of the miners' right clauses of the Mining Act, 1891, deferred until his visit to the Thames. As we stated in a former issue, however, it is not* the iofeniian of the Mining Inspector to use any unnecessary haste in taking proceedings regarding miners' rights, so that the misunderstanding on Mr Seddon'a part cannot in any way affect the miners.
