Mr Turnbull complained that a Bill of ■ ■ sb much importance should not have come i down at an earlier date of the session. He . • ■ moved the adjournment of the debate. Mr'J. W. Thomson supported the ad journment. The Hon Mr Betce said that Sir G. Grey had made a speech with which he 1 sympathised as illustrative of the landed transactions of the date to which he re ferred. The agreement having been made at that time, the Government was in a manner pledged to it. So recently as . 1878 and 1879 these agreements were re cognised by the Government. Ho ad mitted the system was bad, but it had prevailed as late as the dates he men tioned. .Mr Sheehan said allusions had been made to the transactions of 1878-1879, of , the Government of which he was a mem ber. The transactions referred to were quite different from the one now under ; notice. What were the facts of the pre seht case? The man by whom the ar rangement was made was a man in the employment of Russell himself. The position was a most anomalous one. The Government got through a Bill which re i fused to acknowledge a transaction of this kind as a whele. By and by comes round a person like Russell, with sufficient p- —e: and iv.fltsenne, and down comes this Bill ic -Tsce n a position in which no other man omrily deserving was to be placed, Mr Mor," com .«T spoke in support of the propcya?

Mr DbLautoca thought that as the Native Reserves Bill only applied to the property of certain natives at Greymouth it was clearly a private Bill, and could not he treated as a public one- The Hon Mr Bryce said the land was vested in the Crmn.
