MIDLAND RAILWAY.
THE SEIZURE OF THE LINE.
[Feb Pbess Association.,
WELLINGTON, May 28.
The Post says:— "The Midland Railway J Company's representatives in the colony have, pending instructions from Home, given notice to all their emploj.s on the line not to pay any attention to the seizure by the Govornment. They are preparing a formal protest against the action taken by Ministers in seizing the line. If the seizure is persisted in, the company, after protesting, will probably allow the question of right to remain in abeyance until the Arbitration Court is properly constituted and able to deal with the whole case on its merits. It will not permit itself to be pinned down to a narrow legal point irrespective of the broad equities involved in the case."
Mr Harris, of Christchurch, the solicitor of the company, arrived here from Chri.tchuroh to-day to confer with Mr George Hutchison, the company's counsel.
