EXPLANATORY CABLE
RESULT OF MISUNDERSTANDING. [ Per Press Awociation. ] AUCKLAND, Aug. 26. Regarding the cablegram from Sydned relating to the trust building, Air. H. P. Richmond, of Auckland, has sent the following cable to Air. D. Alaughan, K.C., of Sydney: “Please express my regret and apologies to Air. Justice Long-Innes in respect of the cable sent to his associate concerning the trust building. The cable was sent in my absence from Auckland as a result of a misunderstanding arising out of a longdistance telephone conversation between myself and my office in which, on instructions from the debenture-hold-ers, I gave authority to send a cable to Sydney solicitors or counsel. My clerk was faced with practical difficulties in instructing solicitors or counsel, and the matter being regarded by the debenture-holders as of extreme urgency, he thought my authority was wide enough to cover communications to His Honour’s associate, and that this would not be objectionable.”
