Charges by Mr John Norton.

Mr Reid's Explanation

Uniced Press Association—By Electric Telegraph —Copyright)

' Sydney, Jaly 19 In the debate on the Address-in- Reply Mr "Norton made a fierce attack on the Premier's action in correction with *he negotiations with the Bank of New Zealand over the purchase of the Roaehill railway for £22,500 when Parliament authorised £20,000. Mr Norton alleged, from information he had received from a discharged official of the Bank that Mr Reid had received accommodation from the Bank to the extent of £2000, the only security being a life policy for £100 (? £1000), with no surrender value. He charged the Premier with corruption in the matter, as well as in connection ; with the transaction relating to the sale of a colliery, another of the Bank of Now Zealand's properties. Mr Norton further stated that be was prepared fco place press copies of letters and shorthand notes relating to the j ! whole business at the dispos&l of the

House, Mr Rfid, replying with sfcrone emo'ion, said Mr r< orton's statements were infamous lies. He admitted that ho had an account with the Bank, which he had traisferred to it as an outside institution in preference to dealing with a Bank with a local directorate. He also admitted having ' overdrawn his account, but he had yet to leirn this was a criminal proceeding. He had candidly informed the Oibinet of his financial relations with the Bank, so that there could be no suspicion in the matter in coming to torms with the Bank. He had the report of the Rail way Commissioners, dated 1896, advis ing the puichase of the railway at £25 000. The final negotiations were conducted by the Railway Com missioners and a representative of the

Bank. (Received Wakapnaka July 20, 9-45 a.m, Guahdian Office 10.11 v.m) Sydney, July 20 In the As^mbly Mr lleid showed that in every step of the negotiations with the B-ink of New Zealand, he consulted and had the sanction of the highest and most trusti d officers. ISo far from bring a secret under-standing it was known to every officr of tho department. Ultimately it was agreed that the difference should ba split, and the Bank be paid £22 500. He challenged anyone to say he ever obtained a penny from the Bink without paying interest. He ropndhted the least insinua'ion that a let'er of credit he obtained on London had been given him by way of a favor from the Bank Mr Barton, in the name of the Opposition, strongly condemned the attack on Mr Reid, who, he said, had easily repelled all tlie charges. The debate was adjourned, and before separating the house gave three cheers for Mr Reid.

These crude oils, or so called Eucalypti Extracts, are discernible :— 1 By their deficiency in pungent odour — which our product, the only genuine Eucalypti Extracb develops most froely through its surplus oxygen.
