THE MYSTERIOUS VOUCHER.

Is It a MythP

(From Our Parliamentary Special). (By Telegraph.) WELLINGTON, August 2i.

The three Christchurch civil servants, Messrs West, Wilis, and Larcombe, gave evidenco on Saturday before the- AuditorGeneral on the subject of the affidavits sworn by them in . regard to the alleged improper payment to Captain Seddon. All three stuck to the story contained in those much discussed documents, and declared that they "had seen, and handled, and commented on the voucher, and were positive that it had no connection with the Sneddon voucher, similar documents to which .they see almost weekly. It is understood that the Audtior-General has instructed Willis to search for the voucher, and all the Treasury vouchers for the past four years have been placed at his disposal. It is pointed out that if the voucher ever existed, it must still -exist, or the- absence of its particular ' number would indicate its disappearance, and enable the other two records which are kept, to lie easily discovered.
