The amendment \ did not go far enough. It excepted “ a - qow Ministry.” He saw no reason for J- such an exception, and while supporting C i; the principle of the amendment, he would move that the exception be struck out rr Mr George said that ho wouW gladly v % accept the amendment, but for the fact

it* 3- (hat great inconvenience would be occa -1 atoned. Were a new Ministry not to be - < accepted when the House was m session, ■ - Parliament would, in the want of a J ' change of Ministry, have to adjourn - . while the new Ministers went back for re

el Mr°Monigomeiy preferred Mr George’s • - amendments* it stood, but, rather than lose it, would take it without exception. The debste was adjourned at o.du, ana resumed at :7.30 p.m. Mr Reeves spoke m favor of the amend -r. r: Mr Collins opposed the amendment, on . tfas ground that a provision of the kind . w had not been asked for by the country. *lt wpuldbe. derogatory to the position of a - : : representative to contend that they should , (ask the opinion of their constituents in a ?jdatter of this kind. Their duty to their > country clearly over-shadowed their duty >• .ih a matter of this sort to their con ;.stitaents. Mr Weston opposed the amendment. With triennial Parliaments it would be wrong to do anything that would necessi , taietelections more frequently than those provided, for-by law. Ho could see no ■vi 'reason for the amendment. They had been told that the Government had a vacant portfolio at present. Now the fact that a proposal like that contained in the amendment should he brought forward at moll fetime went far to convince him that there was no real necessity for a provision .of- the. nature proposed by the amend aaenk .! The Hon. J. Hall demurred to the in f.- lerencetkat a constituency had a right to say;whether a manwaa to take office as a Minister or not. It was the Government that had a /right to decide upon that ques tion.' It would deter good men from entering into the House, inasmuch as that ' it would subject them to the possibility of t' <i more expense in standing a re-election IBarithey were at present subjected to. He hoped they would not entertain the ■ ■ notion.-"' -■■ ■ . -, - Mr Levistam also opposed the motion. . It was not asked for by the country, and he felt convinced -.that members would not sell themselves, as was implied, to the highest bidder. ■ As long_ as they had • ; the remnants'offProvincialism there was no fear of a constituency objecting to its representative going into the Ministry. Constituencies were only too glad to got a good .share of the loaves and fishes, and no better way could exist'for such share than by having their member in the Government. Mr Wood’s amendment that the words * r excepting a now Ministry form the ne cessity for re-election ” was then put and negatived on the voices. The original amendment, moved by Mr George, was , .then put and the House divided — ‘ Ayes, Ballance, DeLautour, Ji T. Fisher (Heathcote), George, Mont- S "emery, Moss,.

The following correspondence was read: —From the Hon, the Colonial Secretary, stating that the district had been divided into five wards, the proclamation appear ing in the Gazette published on the 9th of June last.—The letter was ordered to be

acknowledged, and the Clerk was directed to obtain full written instructions from the Board’s solicitor as to how the affairs of the district should now be managed.— From Mr David Evans, complaining that, owing to a dam existing in the County Council's new gone fence drain, the water during the late heavy rainfall had been turned out of the drain on to a road line adjoining his land, much damage to which had resulted ; there was upwards of twelve thousand cubic yards of road line and private land washed out to sea. The Clerk was instructed to write to the County Council, asking that this defect in the drain may be remedied, and also that the bridges over the drain may be made larger.—From five ratepayers, petitioning that about two miles of the Coldstream road may be formed. The Surveyor was ordered to inspect the road line and report at next meeting. The Surveyor reported that the shingl ing of Dobson’s and the Twenty-one Drain roads, also the re-formation of Islesworth road had been satisfactorily completed. A number of minor matters were also reported upon, and instructions given in each case. On the motion of Messrs Carter and Chapman it was decided “ That in order that small repairs of an urgent character may be at once attended to the Surveyor may, on his own responsibility, have any piece of work done the cost of which does not exceed three pounds, and the Surveyor and Chairman, or acting Chairman, to gether, to the value of five pounds. ” The Surveyor was instructed, on the motion of Messrs Carter and Chapman, to have certain footpaths and side-channels formed at Tinwald. Tenders wore opened for the re-forma tion of part of the Waterton road and side channelling of the Great South road, and that of Mr John Black accepted. Tenders were also received for clearing watercresses out of the side drain of Boundary road, but none of them were accepted, pending a further report in the matter.
