HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Wellington, September 29. A NATIVE LAND SCANDAL. The Native Affairs Committee brought up a report on the petition of Here Nini Te Toko and two others, who complained that John Lundon had wrongfully detained part of the purchase money for Katti block, north of Auckland, and the peti tioners prayed for redress. The report of the Committee was to the effect that the evidence showed that the petitioners personally received from the Government officer the full amount of the purchase money agreed to by the Government to be paid for the land, and that therefore the Government are m no way responsible for what is alleged m the petition. The Committee are further of opinion that if the petitioners considered that Mr Lundon had not acted m accordance with any agreement entered into with him they should have appealed to the law courts before applying to Parliament; and that the Government be recommended to take the petitioners' case into special con sideration with a view of affording the natives assistance to enable them to bring the matter before a court of law. Mr Mitchelson moved that the report and evidence be printed. He spoke at, great length on Mr Lundon's conduct over this transaction, and said that a j grosser scandal had never been perpe- i frated on the native race than the sale of this land by Mr Lundon to the Govern ment on behalf of the natives. It was agreed, on the motion of Colonel Fraser, to adjourn the debate, on the understanding that it will be resumed not later than Monday. LOCAL BILLS. Local Bills occupied the attention of the House during the rest of the afternoon. The House rose at 5.30 p.m. The House resumed at 7.30 p.m. NATIVE LAND TITLES BILL. Mr Cadman moved the second reading of the Native Land Validation of Titles Bill, to provide for an enquiry into in complete dealings with native lands. He said that attempts had b«en made for years past to deal wsth this question, and the Bill was another attempt to settle long standing disputes. A long debate ensued, among those who spoke being Mr Taipua and Mr Kapa, who opposed the Bill, as they did not think it contained anything to benefit the natives. Several members supported the Bill, and the second reading was agreed to on he foices. LAND AND INCOME ASSESSMENT BILL. The Land and Income Assessment Act Amendment Bill was committed. Clause 3—Additional exemptions from liability to tax. Mr Moore moved to add to the list of exemptions mortgages held by societies registered under the Building Societies Act m New Zealand. Mr Ward, who was m charge of the Bill, said that he could not accept the amendment, but would be prepared to move an amendment m clause 17 which he thought would meet the case. After a lengthy discussion Mr Moore's amendment was lost by 30 t« 19, Mr Joyce moved to strike out Savings Banks from the exemptions. Mr Ward regretted that he could not accept the amendment, as the Govern ment had received information that a number of small depositors m these banks required relief. The amendment was lost by 32 to 22. Mr Houston moved to exempt standing timber, provided it does not exempt from taxation revenue derived from such timber. Lost by 39 to 11. Mr T. McKerzie moved that incomes derived from money advanced on land by way of mortgage, be treated subject to Income Tax. Lost by 26 to 16. Mr T. McKenzie moved to exempt incomes to the extent of £1, derived from investments, on mortgage, provided the person enjoys no land exemption. Lost by 26 to 13. Clause 3, was then agreed to with rerbal amendment. Clause 4, relating to mode of making assessment and returns, having been passed unaltered, progress was reported. A motion for adjournment of the House was lost by 26 to 20, and the Speaker left the chair at 3.30 a.m.

The meeting of the Rakaia Sports Com mittee it to be held next Thursday evening —not Friday as stated m report m yester day's Guardian. Intending exhibitors at the show of the Agricultural and Pastoral Association on Friday, October 28, m class 136—" for the best keg of salted butter, fit for exportation, not less than 281bs, butter to have been deposited with the Secretary not less than twenty-eight days previous to the show—" are reminded that, to comply with the con ditions, exhibits must be m the hands of the Secretary to-morrow. The office of the Secretary, Mr J. J, 0. Quane, is m Mr David Thomas' buildings, West street. There jwill be on view m the arcade to morrow one of the Massey-Harris new open track binders. This harvester claims to be a combination of the good qualities of the Brantford and Massey machines, with impor tant improvements not hitherto used m this country, and from its repeated victories m the recent competitions m i ranee and now m South Australia, its claims seem to be recognised by the judges. I Holloway's Pills.—Teaching of Exper ence. —The united testimony of thousands, extending over forty years, must strongly recommend these pills as the best purifiers, the mildest aperients, and the surest restora tives. They never prove delusive, or give merely temporary relief, but attack all ail ments of the stomach, lungs, heart, and bowels m the only safe and legitimate way, by depurating the "blood, and so eradicating those impurities which are the source and constituents of almost every disease. Their medicinal efficacy is wonderful m renovating enfeebled constitutions. Their action em braces all that is desirable m a household medicine. They expel every noxious and effete matter; and thus the strength is nutured and the energies stimulated. The " Family Doctor " of July 16 says:— We have seen hosts of letters from all sorts and conditions of people, m which the writers acknowledge the benefit they have received from the wonderful mixture, which as a curative agent cannot be too highly estimated, since it cleanses and clears the blood from all impurities and restores it to its normal condition. If the blood is diseased, the body is diseased, and the patient languishes. Clarke's Blood Mixture is a medicine of the greatest possible value, and it has attained a popularity almost unprecedented.
