TRUST BUILDINGS
COUNSEL EXPRESSES REGRET.
RESULT OF MISUNDERSTANDING. AUCKLAND, Tuesday. Mr H. P. Richmond, of Auckland, yesterday sent the following cablegram to Mr D. Maughan, K.C., Sydney : “ Please express my regret and apologies to Mr Justice Long-Innes if. respect of the cablegram sent to his associate concerning the Trust Building. The cablegram was sent in my absence from Auckland as the result of a misunderstanding arising out of a long-distance telephone conversation between myself and my office, in which, on instructions from the debenture - holders, I gave authority to send a cablegram 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.”
