The Premier received a deputation this morning with regard to a prop leal to establish a depot of Boer prisoners ab the Ohathams. la reply, he stated that he did not look on the proposal with favour, and said he thouehb the JBoera were quite near enough. He did not think the proposal would be received with favour by the Imperial Government. His own Idea was that New Galnea would be a suitable place to satabliab a depot. It was true the Imperial Government had asked the New Zealand Government if it woald favourably entertain the proposal to send the Boer prisoner? to Stewarb Island, but the Government, taking local matters into consideration, came to the conclusion that It was not advisable. He undertook to place the subject brought up by the deputation before the Cabinet),
