The Tapscott Inquiry.

Dedwood Seat at the Harbour Board

A Painful Necessity

WELLINGTON. This day. A written opinion from the Minister of Justice has been obtained by Mr Swanson as to the right of the Chairman of the Ponsonby Highway District to sit at the Harbour Board. He says :—" lam of opinion that as there is no change in the boundaries, and the name only is changed by lawful procla mation, the power of the Chairman of the Ponsonby Board to sit at the Harbour Board as the actual chairman of the Highway Dedwood Board is not affected." The law officer of the Crown on the other hand is of opinion that the question is not free from doubt. The Minister recommends the Chairman to try it by mandamus in the Supreme Court, or promote a short act in the Provincial Council removing all doubt. No order in Council would avail, and the matter was not one for the General Assemby. The Captain of the William Tapscott ex pressed extreme gratification at the impartial manner in which his case has been treated in Wellington. The gale is still blowing, and people generally are holding on by the whiskers. The enquiry into the grounding of the Ladybird opened to-day at eleven o'clock, in the Court, before Captain Sharp, Major Paul, and Lieutenant Bluett, nautical assessors. The prosecution was conducted by Mr Izard, and the defence by Mr CHlivier. The evidence of Mr Seymour, the chief officer, is proceed ing. A heavy gale is blowing. The Wellington left for the North at one o'clock.
