The Contractors' and Workmen's Lien Bill passed its final stages. The Council rose at 4.2) p.m.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

The following ia the conclusion of the report of Thursday's sitting : — LAND BILL. A debate extending over several hours ensued, Mr Rolleston urged that clause 191 should be postponed for future considera tion, and the undisputed ones gone on with. Mr McKenzie refused to adopt this course. At 4 o'clock a compromise was proposed by Mr Richardson agreeing to reduce the number of sheep the land could carry to 10,000. The Minister wanted it reduced to 5000, but Mr Uichardson would not agree to this. At 5.45 Mr Rolleston said he saw it was no use endeavouring to instruct the Committee further with regard to this clause, and his side of the House had done their best to enter a protest againstit. The House then divided on Mr Richard son's amendment which was lost by 25 to 10. Mr Allan moved an amendment to the clause that the limit of one run should be defined as the area capable of carrying not more than 20,000 sheep.—Lost by 26 to 8. The third proviso was amended to allow licensees to held any number of runs provided the aggregate carrying capacity did not exceed five thousand sheep. Mr Rolleston said that amendment was a perfect mockery. Mr Fergus said it was a cruel injustice to small settlers m the interior of Otago, •nd if he bad had any idea it would be ac cepted he would have stayed there till the 31sfc of December to prevent its passing. The clause was then passed as amended. At 6.35 Mr Rollestan appealed to the Minister m charge to report progress, stating that if the Committee decided to go on with the Bill they would be abdicating their position entirely m work ing m the interests of the country. He moved that progress be reported. Mr Seddon said the remaining portion of the measure could be put through m a very few minutes now that the main points of the bill had been fairly dis cussed and settled. He thought the remaining clauses might be disposed of at the present sitting. Sir George Grey supported the stand taken by the Opposition, and said the Bill was the most iniquitous and inhuman he ever heard of • Mr Seddon urged that further progress should be made with the measure, and Asked whether it was fair that twenty five members should give m to eight. The Government had made a fair offer of a compromise to the Opposition, but their leader had refused to accept it. At eight; o'clock an adjournment was taken till 9.30 and on reaumiug at that hour Mr T?olle«ton once more protested against the House going on with the Bill. "Mr Seddon alluded to the waste of time on the bill while m committee. The principle of the measure had been dis cussed m deal'ng with each clause m a manner he had never before heard of m regard to any bill. Sir George Grey had said that he would obstruct the bill l»y every form of the House and Mr Fergus and Mr Harkness had threatened clearly that they would stonewall the bill, word by word, and line byline. Mr Seddon proceeded to refer to the whole question, and when alluding to one of bis statements Mr Fergus was understood to turn to Mr Harkness and ejaculate, "Hear how he! lies. Mr Seddon retorted that if any member had used suoh words to him out side the House he would take such steps as would prevent him ever u*ing them Sir George Grey moved that these v> ords be taken down. After some discussion progress was re ported and the wor^s were reported to the Speaker. . ■ . Mr Seddon said he had nothing to say by way of extenuation or apology. Mr Fergus within hearing of the chairman and himself had, m reference to his state ment, used the words " Hear how he lies. Mr Seddon then retired from the Cham ber • Mr Fergus denied having used the words attributed to him. After a long discussion the motion to adjourn the debateVas lost on voices. Mr Reeves' motion, that Mr Seddon s explanation be accepted as fully satis factory, was carried by 3o to U. An amendment by Mr G. Hutchison, that the last three words be omitted, having previously been rejected. Mr Seddon was then re-admitted to the House. He said that the House by passing the resolution had reflected credit on the Parliament of New Zealand. As a politician and private individual he had always been careful ot his honour, and he contended that under sross provocation he had exhibited great forbearance. Mr Fergus said he was fcxceedinEciy aorrvfortfae remark he had made, and he offered a most humble apology for having hurt the feelings ef any member of the House. This ended the incident and the House resumed m committee on the Land Bill- Mr Rolleston at 12.15 p.m. asked whether Mr Seddon would consent to an adjournment of the House till 7.30. He pointed oufc that members had been ( sitting there for newly 24 hours, and xt was impossible for the House to consider an important measure like the Land Bill under those conditions. He denied that there had been anything like obstruction on the part of the Opposition. Mr Seddon said if the committee passed clause 192 he should consent fco.an ad ■ -journment till 2.30 p.m., but not till 7.00. After further discussion Mr beddon at/reed to report progress till 7.30. Clause 192 was then passed and the House adjourned till 7.30 p.m. The House resumed at 7.30 p.m., m Committee on the Land Bill. Clause 213— Penalty on an occupier m arrear of rent, was altered so as to enforce » penalty for the i oi-paymenfc of rent within thirty days instead of fourteen. Clause 227—License for flax cutting. It was decided that a license be granted for seven years instead of three. _ _ Clause 246—Native lands on acquisition may be declared Crown lands. On the motion of Captain Russell Jfc wans decided thnt nothing m this clause should affect the laud for the North Island trunk railway. The schedules were passed without material alteration. The new clauses were dealt with, and among those agreed to was one clause pro- f yiding that no person could, become a I

p holder of land exceeding 320 acres within ' a special settlement except m case of swamp lands. The bill was then reported. The House rose at 1.15 a.m.

BROKEN HILL Sydney, September 9. Mr Fergusson, Labor leader, m ad dressing the miners, said that there was a feeling steadily growing among the men which must be subdued. If it broke out, then God help those who engendered it. If bloodshed ensued it would be on the heads of the police. Stdnev, September 10. Baxter, a contractor, lias taken an extensive contract from the Proprietory mine, and has notified the miners that he is willing to engage a thousand men at ten shillings per day. He doea not recognise the Onion, and asserts if local men decline to take up his offer, he can obtain practical men at a moment's notice. A large mob as sembled at 2.30 this morniag to meet a train conveying police and free laborers. The train dashed through the station and made for the town station. As it passed through it was assailed with stones, and several pistol shots were fired. Notwithstanding their alacrity the policemen were severely assaulted as they marched to the Town Hall, though they had their bayonets fixed. Several men were injured, and one arrest was made.
