DUNEDIN.
[.SPECIAL TO THE STAR.]
Jan. 10.
A deputation from the Otago Harbour Board waited on the Hon. the AttorneyGeneral this morning in order to learn the Government's intention respecting reclamation privileges. Mr Stout aaid the question was whether the Government could legally give effect to a proposal to exchange eighty acres for forty elsewhere in the Bay. If the exchange could be made under the present statute, he promised that a Crown grant should issue, and if not he would have a clause for the purpose inserted in the Special Powers and Contracts Bill.
Adam Gordon Seymore, traveller for a book importing firm, wus remanded till Monday, by the Bench, on two charges of embezzlement. The police intimated that an additional charge of larceny and forgery would be brought against him. Great dissatisfaction is cxpi-essed at the management of the Athenaeum, the library of which was lately locked up because the subscribers delayed returning their books. The extension of tramway* to the suburbs on the hill tops is being agitated. If the project is carried out, it will increase enormously the value of suburban lands.
