Sir P. Buckley will take the Judge ship, and Mr Montgomery has resigned his seat in the Cabinet. The same ! apathy re the appointments from the Lower House are shown re a successor to Sir P. Buckley and Mr Montgomery, and unless representations are made to the Hon. Mr Seddon from the Auck land provincial district by members of the House and others with influence, no. Auckland man will be appointed to the Cabinet. The Ministry is practi cally a Southern one now, and it will be more so in future. If Mr Cadman wouldinsist on havinganothercolleague he could carry his point.
