LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

[i'ee, press Association. Wellington, July 2. The Council met at 2.30 p.m. PIKECTOKS LIABILITY BILL. The Revisions Committee I'ecotmnended that the Promoters' and Directors' Liability Bill be allowed to proceed. LEGISLATIVE COVNCIL BILL. The Legislative Council Bill was recommitted, reported after amendment, read a third time, and passed. CFIMINAL CODE BILL. The Criminal Code Bill passed through Committee with verbal amendments. The Council rose at 3.30 p.m.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

The House met at 2.30 p.m. KEI'IIES TO QUESTIONS. Heplying to Mr Mills (Waimea-Picton), Mr MeKenzie saitl that he should refer to the Stock Committee the question of taking steps to prevent the further importation of stoats and weasels into the colony • Replying to Mr Houston, Mr Seddon •aid that it was the practice now on the N#W Zealand Railways to give the preference m tendering to New Zealand woods, and he should endeavor to see that the practice was carried out as much as possible. Mr Houston moved the adjournment of the House, as he considered the Minister's reply unsatisfactory. He thought that puriri sleepers would be one of the most valuable assets a railway company could have, and he thought that, considering the large amount of money that we a setit out of the colony for sleepers, puriri should be more generally used. It was to his mind very injurious to the small settlers that £50,000 should be sent out of the colony m one year for sleepers, especially as puriri timber was much more durable. A long debate ensued, during which a, strong attack was made upon the Railway Commissioners by Mr Fish, Mr Hogg, and Mr Re'es. The two former declared that the Commissioners were an ignomi nious and absolute failure. Mr Seddon said that he would convey to the Commissioners what he regarded as the unanimous opinion of the House, that New Zealand timber should be used for sleepers m future. If a resolution to that effect were passed by the House he felt sure that the Commissioners would pay attention to it. NOTICE OK REPEAL BII.L. Mr Jackson Palmer gave notice to in troduce the Government Railways Act, 1887, Repeal Bill, 1891. DUNKDIN CEMETERY BILL. Mi" Fish moved the second reading of the North Dunedin Cemetery Reserve Bill, to enable the Corporation to extend the present cemetery m that city. The motion wag agreed to after a long debate by 31 to 17. " The House rose at 5.30 p. m. The House resumed at 7.30. THE FINANCIAL DEBATE. Mr Meredith resumed the debate on the Financial /Statement, He spoke m favor of the property tox. saying that, it was the administration of the tnx, and not th<) principle of it, that had grown into dis favour. As to the Government proposal with reference to the graduated land U*., bethought they were manifestly unfair as the absentee and the industrial man who had his farm, were placed on fcke same footing. Speaking on the land question and of Land settlement, he s-ticl that he bettered that the Minister of Lands was looked upon by the majority of people m the colony as a thoroughly hone&t man, and he warmly praised the Minister's action m connection with villiage settle ment m his (Mr Meredeth's) district. He announced that he would give a general support to the Government, but would vote agaijist them on their taxation proposals. Mr Thompson (Marsden) alluded to the ■peeck made by Mr Earnshaw on the. pre vious night, m which he stated that land owners were social pests, and that their estates must be burst up by some means or other. He was not aware whom Mr Earnshaw represented m the House, bub he was certain that he did not represent the working classes, and he might tell that honorable gentleman that by using language of that kind, cither m the House or out of it, he.would pimply de feat the cause he professed to champion. He strongly defended the action of the Minister of Lands m removing the Crown Lands Commissioner at Auckland. It was his intention to support the graduated tax, but he held that the tax should be imposed on the land value only, not on improvements. Speaking as an inde pendent member, he said that he was prepared to assist the Government m making the taxation Bills acceptable to all classes of the community, Dr Newman thought that the Budget was, on the whole, surprising to the country, inasmuch as the Premier had not included m it all the wild schemes which he had advocated when m opposi tion The Budget was original m its contents, but was not at all a satisfactory Statement. He had intended to move an amendment when going into Supply, to the effect that absentees should- be taxed, but the fact of Mr Fish having moved his amendment prevented him from 'loing so. He should, however, more it later on m the session. Mr Buick would give the Government a general and intelligent support, but lie did not believe m all the proposals con tained m the Statement, Holding, m he did, strong Radical opinions, he could not expect to get everything he wanted, Mr Swan distinctly opposed to party Government, and trusted that the Select Committee, which had been appointed to consider this subject, would make Koine practical recommendation to the House. Though he would not support the Govern* ment he would not be a factious opponent »o them. ■ Mr G. Tanner moved the adjournment of the debate. The Hoase rose at 12.20.
