Mr Moss on a motion 'or adjourn ment, protested against the wa.der. eihg ' oompellM to do this work. If it was necessary to administer snoh chastisement .be would suggest that the Judge, Magis ■ • irate, or even the Minister of Justice, was -the proper person to do it. It was mon strous to say that a warder should chastise a prisoner in that way, and afterwards be entrusted with the charge of him. Mr Feld wick- and Mr Daniel de nounced the infliction of such punish ment. The Hon. Mr Conolly said this was not a question as to whether or nut such punishments should be inflicted. The only question was as to who should inflict tiie punishment. In England, and in this colony .too, the punishment was in variably administered by warders The alternative proposition was as to the pro priety of appointing a public fUgellator, and he confessed that a proposition of that kind had never entered his head. The punishment was only inflicted in the case of brutal or disgusting offences, and he did not see his way to have it abolished altogether. Sir Q. Grey inveighed against the injustice done to warders in this matter. It appeared to him the height of injustice. It was only reasonable to ask that a person should be got upon whom this as well as other duties might devolve. The Hon Mr RollejTon denied a state ment made by Sir ,G. Grey that Mr Oonolly was mainly responsible for the measures under which this punishment was provided lor THE GPU LEASES. Mr Rollesion explained that upon en quiry he found that no proclamation' had ] been issued in the name of Sir G. Grey as i Superintendent of Auckland re gnmfields leases. He found, however, that all the correspondence on the subject had passed through theoffice of the Superintendent, i In reply tea question, the Hon Mr Rollesion said he would withdraw the statement made, that the leases were pro vided for by Sir G. Grey as Superinten dent of Auckland. Still, he held to the fact that they were so provided for by an officer under his immediate control. 1 On the motion of Sir G. Grey the de- 1 bate was adjourned. , i HEW MEMBER, 1 Mr Locke (East Coast) was introduced < by Colonel Trimble and Dr Newman, i sworn in, apd took his seat. 1 TIMBER 808 RAILWAYS- A long discussion took place on the relative merits of the Australian and New Zealand timber for railway purposes. Mr McDonald produced samples of tottra and jarrah submerge i for the dif- _ ferent periods, showing?the former was much more durable. . Mr HursTHQUSB said this was the case where -timber was submerged, but not for railway sleepers. Aua.ralia took ten times as much timber from ns as we took from them. I -Ur Tawhai said-that an unlimited sup- h ply of pnriri was available in bis district. h Mr Mitchelson promised to make en- a qniries, and lifter further discussion the 8 matter dropped. C ORDERS IN COUNCIL. ' A motion by Mr Turnbull, to have all - Orders in Council gazetted, was with drawn after discussion. [Left sitting.}
