(from our parliamentary correspondent.)

Wjslunotom, July 13, Mr Scobie McKenzie or Mr Wright will move that every elector shall vote for onecandidate only, and.not give £ore than one vote to such candidate, ballot capers recording more than one vote to fee rejected. Had the Premier not agreed to adjourn at 2 o'clock the one months residence clause would have been stane- THBKAKAIA VIIA^GK SETTLEMENT THIRDS. Replying to Sir John Hall, Mr McKen , zie said the payment of moneydue to the South Rakaia Road Boards (thirds from village settlers payments) had not been yjtmade because of l^.^cukies. "these were being enquired into, and if equitably due the money would be paid. ROAD BOARDS. A good deal of the evening was taken up with Mr Wright's Road Board Act Zendmentßill and Fish Oons«rvaUon Bill. The second reading of the former was carried, but many members pointed out that clause six opened the door for too much subdivision of districts, and it is certain the clause will be remodelled in Committee. It provides for the constitu- j tion of a new district on petition. IXOtJNDBKS. The same member introduced the Fish Conservation BUI, making it penal to take immature flounders from Lake Elksmere. The Native members op posed it as-interfering with the Maori fish supply. Some members hoped no attempt would be mado to extend the provision of the Bill to any other place. The second reading Was earned. QUESTIONS. Mr Q. Hutchison to-morrow is to ask (1) the Colonial Treasurer—'- If he will arrange that members of the police force, on whom are thrown the duties and res possibilities of agenta of the .Fataho- Trustee, have a special remuneration i (2) the Minister of Labor-"If any amendment is contemplated in the Truck Act to remedy the hardship inflicted on working men desirous of taking up bush felling and other contracts requiring pro visions and tools to be provided over a considerable timer (3) the Minister of Education—" If further effort cannot be made to insure uniformity in the books in use in State schools." THE RAILWAY COMMISSIONEKS. Most of the afternoon was taken up in discussion arising out of a question by Mr O'ConoT, whether Government will pro vide employees' twins to and irom the chief centres to suburbs, mornirg and evening, at 2d for five miles, 4d for ten. and 6d for fifteen miles (return). Mr j Seddon read the reply from the Com missioners to the effect that it was im practicable and would not pay. The Minister said the reply was almost inso lent Several speakers abused the Com *&ssioners. Mr fish defended, but was jeered at by Mr Earnshaw, and Mr W. P. Reeves for his change of front, he having been once a bitten enemy of the Commissioners. Mr Meredith besought the House to drop these reiterated attacks, "which were degrading, and bring down a Bill dealing with the Commissioners in stead.

SECOND EDITION

MAGISTERIAL.

ASBBURTON-THURSDAY.

(Before Mr C. A. Wray R.M.) Civil Cases.—Flora Black v Andrew Orr, £19 17a 3d. For Pontiff, Mr Postletfcwaite; for defendant, MrPurnell. This was a claim made by plaintift for £10 damages for wrongful distraint, and £10 7s 3d alleged to be owing by de fendant to plaintiff. The case arose out of % tenancy by plaintiff, as represented by her hnaband, of a shop in East Street of which plaintiff held a lease from Mr John Oix, the landlord. The evidence for plaintiff was to the effect that Andrew Black, watchmaker, had been burned out of a nhop in East Street, and subsequently became bankrupt. He said that Mr Andrew Orr came to him about taking the shop, of which he held a lease from John Orr, and which H. Bairatow, cabinetmaker was then the tenant. Bair stow was paying only £1 a week rent. Orr suggested to Black that he should see Bairatow and offer him £5 to remove in favour of Black. This Black did, but Baifstow declined to remove. Eventually Bairstow received notice to quit. The shop was ultimately taken by Black at £2 a week, and Black's evidence was to the effect that Orr had undertaken to pay for a partition that Baivstow had bern employed to erect—£6 ss—and for tit putting in of a pane in the shop window —£4 15a. Plaintiff had paid one instal ment of the rert, and on finding that plaintiff was charging these owo items as alleged to have been agreed upon, defendant distrained,and platof ff satisfied the bailiff's claim under protest. Plain tiff had been twelve months in the shop, and had riven defendant notice to quit. The amount paid to the bailiff was 4,1b 17s, and plaintiff* now claimed £10 damages fcr wrongful distraint, and £10 ?g 3d contra account. The defendant denied that any arrangement had been entered into to bear the cost of either the pane of class er the partition, and the Lnorins of an order given by plaintiff «pon defendant jn favor of Bfttratow for work done on $he partition TV* only an arrangement, agreed to by Black, to facilitate a squaring up of accounts between Orr and Bairstow, the under standing b<un<? tliafc Black would refund tlie money. Distraint had taken place in consequence of Black nofc paying. A contra for goods supplied was recognised "and allowed for. Evidence for plaintiff was given by A. Black, H, Bairstow, and R. Dorm, and for defendant by A. Orr, John Orr, A. X Williamson, W. Spence, and R. M. Cuthbertson. Counsel for defendant argued thafc the case was merely one of accounts, and that no damage had been sustained. Counsel for plaintiff raised the legal point that a W»e of 21 days was necessary before dis traint took place. His Worship reserved judgment., The following cases were un-1 deflnded-R. Patton, v B. Bde jun. £6 lls 6d ; Drug Company v Smith, &i <s 6d ; Same v Moriarty, £117s 6d ; bame v McKee, £1 Is (id, I
