to get it and, in addition, are being charged 30s. per case per month rent for the same and are running the risk of the wine going bad; and what steps he intends to take in the matter?

Colonel WILSON

I have been asked to answer this question. The s.s. "B. Balholm" completed discharge July 29th, 1919, the cargo consisting chiefly of wine. No accommodation being available, and no application being made at the time by the consignees, to the s.s. "B. Balholm," the wine was discharged into barges under "Captain's Entry." according to the terms of the Bill of Lading. The 30s per case has reference to the charges for craft, which are naturally heavy. This particular consignment was landed at South West India Dock, 12th November, 1919, to await turn for gauging by Customs, and it is expected that it will be dealt with by them in about three weeks' time.
