LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

Wellington, August 29 The Council met at 2.30 p.m. THE LEGITIMATION BILL. In Committee on the Legitimation Bill a new clause was inserted provid ing that the claims of l«RitoiMtooh£ drfn m regard to property shall take precedence of claims of legitimahsed children, and that no child ran can be leeitimatised if any impediment existed at its birth to intermarriage of its parents, SECOND HEADINGS. The Invercargill Racecourse Em powering Bill, the Animals Protection Act Amendment Bill, to preventj the introduction into the colony of objec tionable birds or animals, and the Oaths Act Amendment Bill were all read a second time. PASSED. The Wellington City Drainage Em powering Bill and the Timaru Harbor Reclamation Bill pessed through Com mittee with amendment, and were [put through their final stages. DIVORCE BILL. In Committee on the Divorce Bill an amendment was inserted to the effect that divorce cannot be granted for desertion that has taken place prior to the passing of the Bill. At 5,30 the Council adjourned till 7.30 p*tn. . The Council resumed at/.30 p.m. THE DIVORCE BILL. In Committee on the Divorce Bill, m clause 3 the term of desertion necessary to form aground for divorce was increased from three to four years. Subsection 3 of the sam* clause pro viding that divorce may be granted on grounds of habitual drunkenness for three years was struck out by 15 to 11 A motion to strike out sub section 4 which provides that divorce may be granted on the grounds that husband or wife has been committed to prison for a period of not ess than three years *as negatived by 15 to 13, and the clause retained. A clause to strike out the provision that divorce may be granted for repeated assaults was lost on the casting vote of the Chairman. Progress was then re ported and the Council rose at 915 p.m.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

*w WELiiNGrasr, August 29 The House met at 2.30. LEAVE OF ABSENCE. Leave of absence for a week was granted to Mr Duthie on account of ill health. '." \ QUESTIONS j In reply to questions, it was stated that Government had not yet decided on increasing the import duties on wheat and flour, but when they had decided they would not pubhsh it on the house tops. That an offer had been made to engage Colonel Fox as military adviser to the Government but not at £700 a year, but Colonel lox had not yet replied accepting the pro position of the Government. THE MIDLAND RAILWAY. Captain Russell brought up a report on the Midland Railway. THE VAILLE SYSTEM. Mr Pirani moved that it is desirable that effect should be given to the report presented ,te the House m WJ 6-^. a trial of the Vaille system should be made on some section of the railways, under the direct supervision of Mr Samuel Vaille. The motion provoked a long debate, m which a large number of members said there was no doubt Mr Vaille had given great;*tte^lon^° this Btibiect, but it would be very diffl t&> Select a particular portion of a railway line to be operated upon. He rauway uu himself wished held that£^ system could not be given effecttojut &* they had a very large PJP«^*wj to work on. The fact was the people m this country travelled only-when they had business to attend to, and they would not travel, however cheap the fares, if their business did not ne cessitate it. It would take five_yea s to give » thorough trial to the Vaille, iystem, and there would be a loss for | the first three or four years. Mr Ward admired the plucky way m which Mr Vaille had so persistently advocated the trial of bi ß system, and he Mr Wardthoughtit was on the right lines- At the same time he could not help thinking the proposal was inop nortwe, and if the syßt«» was to to

I given effect to, the district m which it j was tried should be called on to make up any loss that might result. He could not support the motion. Mr Reeves agreed thnt it would be inexpedient to hand over the manage ment of the railways to Mr Vaille, mid he could not support the motion, espe cially if do guarantee were given against loss. Several other members spoke, and the motion was put and lost by 27 to 20, the House adjourning at 5.30. The House resumed at 7.30 p.m. THE GAMIKG BILL Mr Bell moved thai the amend ments made by the Legislative Oouncil i m the Gaming Bill be agreed to. Mr Lawry moved an amendment that they be agreed to with the ex ception of a new clause inserted by the Council to the effect that the president of the representative racing club maj issue totalisator licenses. After some discussion Mr Lawry's amendment was carried, aud a com mittee consisting of Mr George Hut chison, Mr Bell, and Mr Lawry, were appointed to draw up reasons for dis agreeing with the amendment made by the Oouncil. * i REFERENDUM BILL. Mr O'Regaa moved the second read ing of the Referendum Bill to refer to the electors of the colony certain ques tions or Bills for their decision. He explained that the Bill was m most respects the same as that introduced by Mr O'Connor, the late member for Buller, and embodied the great princi ple of government of the people by the people. Amoagst other things the Bill provided that whenever the House shall have passed a resolution m favor of referring any measure which has been twice passed by the House and twice rejected by the Council to the vote of the electors, then such reference to the electors shall be made. He said that at present the colony had not representative government at all, and they never would have it until they had proportional representation on the Hare system. _ j Mr Saunters thought that the Bill 1 did not go nearly far enough, but he hoped that the House would not reject it on the ground that it contained a dangerous prinsiple. The Bill merely proposed to give the people rights which should be possessed by them m every democratic country. Dr Newman supported the Bill and hoped that it would some' day become law, though not m its present shape. Mr Allen spoke strongly against the Bill, and pointed out that the refer endum under present circumstances •was as complete as that existing m Switzerland. Mr W. P. Reeves said that under some circumstances he might be found voting for this Bill, but those circum stances had not yet arisen. He be lieved himself to be a JL)emocrat, but he did not think he would forfeit his right to the title by opposing this i Bill. He heJd that they had sufficient checks already, and it was not advisable to burden them selves with another check m the shape of the referendum. If the people of New Zealand had not complete control over their representatives he would support a proposal of this kind, but as they bad such control the Bill was not required. In theory it was a. backward step, because it took from Parliament the right of legislating and gave it back to the people, who had not studied the measures m the way Parliament had done. If the Upper House persisted m thwarting the will of the people, and it was found necessary to abolish that branch of the legislature some such check as a referendum would be necessary, and he would support it, but as long as they had a revising chamber he did not think that the Bill was at all necessary. Mr Russell (Riccarton) supported the Bill, but preferred the Swiss system of referendum to that of the proposed system. The Premier opposed the Bi'i, and held that it would be very unwise lo make any such change as that proposed. He agreed with Mr Reeves that this was a Conservative measure, and he would not be surprised to see the majority of the Conservative press of the colony supporting it. This chamber really reflected the opinion of the people containing, as it did, the people's representatives. If the mea sures passed this session were referred to the people the vote of the House would be endorsed by largely increased majorities. New Zealand had a peace- j ful and happy people, and m spite of j adverse circumstances was m a fairly prosperous condition, and the people had every safeguard m their free con stitution. He asked the House not to take a leap m the dark by voting for the Bill. _. v , Mr Pirani supported the Bill, and objected to the Premier's assumption that this measure and the Elective Executive Bill were directed at himself and the Ministry. In thinking thus the Premier was making a mountain of a molehill. Mr McKenzie (Buller) supported the Bill. Mr Collins, M* Hogg, Mr Wipere, and Mr Stevens opposed the Bill, and Mr Hone Heke would support it if purely native legislation was referred to the natives alone. In replying, Mr O'Regan said that he did not believe m a second chamber, and under the referendum it would be a superfluity. In the Old Country the second chamber instead of checking hasty legislation had its foot at the throat of the people, and the same thing happened m all parts of the world. As to the point raised by the native members, he said that he was quite willing to insert a clause m the Bill providing that questions affecting the natives alone should be decided by the natives themselves. The re ferendum would be one of the burning questions before the next election. The motion for the second reading was lost by 24 to 19. The House rose at 12.40 a.m.

Mr Octavius Digby.

By Norfolk, Neither the older residents of Ashburton —who wilt remember the superior manner m which Mr Oct&viua Digby conducted his butchering business some twelve years ago™ i nor the residents of the present day, who ere this must have noted the thorough cleanliness and completeness of the appoint* ments of the shop recently opened m East Street—stocked with goods the superior quality of which must catch the eye of the ioit inexperienced housekeeper-will Be

-much surprised to learn that every detail of the business, from the paddocks where the stock is grazed to the shop where the meat is exhibited for sale, is carried out with the same scrupulous attention to cleanliness. Returning from the country on Wednesday .afternoon I turned into Mr Digby'B yard, and came upon the slaughterman cutting through the chine of a splendid four-year old steer, which had just previously been slaughtered, and for all there was to be seen m the covered slaughter pen or adjacent yards, except the body of beef and a freah hide with the horns attached, the man might have killed a rooster instead of a bullock. I was informed that everything m the shape of offal had been carted away to the paddocks as soon as removed from the circase, and the blood, which, running along a groove m the concrete floor into an iron well outside the building, was similarly disposed of, and a few buckets of clean water thrown over tshe concrete floor left the kill ing pen m the condition I found it. Entirely new premises, sixty feet by twenty-four, and Borne sixteen feet high, have been erected, comprising two slaughter pens, one for large cattle and another for sheep and pigs; several oommodious store rooms, well ventilated with large apertures m the partitions, covered with perforated zinc, and running along the back of all a cool »nd airy cooling shed, where the carcases are hung until set and firm. The live stock are driven from the pad docks into perfectly clean paved stockyards, and thence through a race to the concrete floor of the slaughter pen, where they are despatched, and the rest of the process is as described above, and m Btriking contrast to places I have seen where, after floundering through yards ia mud and filth over their hocks, the cattle have been drafted into sheds m keeping with the outside surround ings, and the meat kept there, absorbing the horrible malarid from decomposing animal matter, until wanted for the shop. The buildings under notice have been erected on Mr Digby's design by Mr George Lea, who has executed the work m the most thorough and workmanlike manner, and the premises which present more the ap pearance of a gentleman's stables and coach house than a slaughterhouse, fully support his well known reputation as a builder.

MAGISTERIAL.

ASHBURTON—THURSDAY.

(Before Mr 0 A, Wray, S.M. Licensing Act.—Police v Joseph Fletcher, of Fletcher Bros.—Mr Cuth- i benscn. who appeared for defendant, pleaded guilty, and said, m explanation, that his client, m common with other grocers m Christchurch and other places, had been selling quinine and ginger wine, quite innocent offny knowledge that the liquor was of an iutoxicating character. However, the liquor m question had been analysed by Professor Bickerton and de clared to be intoxicating, and he would ask the S.M. under the circumstances to deal aa leniently as possible with the case. The S.M. said that attention hav ing been drawn to the matter, he should iv futura have to inflict; a more severe penalty, but m the present instance defendant would be fined 10a and 12s costs. Runaway Hoesks-Sydney Worner and Greorgb Palmer were fined ss, with out costs for allowing their horses to run away m town. Grazing on Roads.—B. Kane was fined 53 per head and costs for allowing three cjws to graze on the Wakanui Road. , Crai Oases—Thomas Leahy v Alfred Jones, £1 8a for medical attendance; Friftdlander Bros, v John M. Reid, £2 7a lid ; Mitchell and Turner v James Quinn. £9 5s 61 ; K. Gates v D. Oliver, £74 ; Thomss Stone vJ. M. Reid. £6 9 i Bd—judgment m each case by default;. Trustees of R. Alcnm v D. O'Connor, £2 4s 4d~judgment for £1 Od-Id ; Same v F Clayton, £1 Oa Id-judgment for plaintiff. Arthur Frisby v Edward Corbett, £11 for balance of harvest wages. A set off was pub m for goods supplied and rent paid for plainti•> s, family, 5s only of which was admitted as a liability. Mr Wilding, for plaintiff, contended that the set off could not, under the Truck Act, be allowed, and the i S.M., taking this view, judgment was given for plaintiff for £5 ard costs. William Doherty v Robert Thompson, £5 damages for non delivery cf a cow. ! It appeared that when Doherty bought i the cow she was grazing at Mr Corbett's, who refused to let plaintiff have her until 6i was paid for grazing incurred since the data of the sale. Mr Purnell. for plain tiff, claimed that as Doherty h*d paid for the cow at the time he bought her, and Corbetb was keeping her for her milk by agreement with Thompson, Doherty must look to the seller for delivery, and he now sued for £4, the price paid for the cow, and £1 damages. In reply to Mr Cuth hertuon, for defendant, W. Doherty ad mitted seeing Oorbett, and passing his door frequently after buying the cow from Thompson, and not having told Corbett he had bought the cow.—James Corbett —Told Doherty he would have ta pay for the grass from the date he had bought h fi r ( —By Mr Purnell—Had the cow four days before Doherty bought her. Had no arrangement with Thompson to keep her for the milk. Did not ask Doherty to sell him the cow or let him keep her a while There was an account on her now for grazing.—Robert Thompson, defend ant, said Doherty knew the qow was »t Corbett's when he bought her and said nothing to witness about delivery till four weeks after. The S.M. said that if Doherly had fetched his cow at once there would have been no trouble, and there was no liability on defendant q part. The real question was who was to pay for the few weeks' grazing. Plaintiff would be non-suited with costa. The Murphy Case Again— John Murphy was charged with using threaten ing language towards his wife, Catherine Murphy. Mr Purnell for complainant stated defendant had been once sent to gaol for ill-using his wife, and had recently threatened her with an axe and threatened to burn the house down.-^Catherine Murphy said that her husbanl had de. manded money from her, and she gave him all she bad, after which Murphy threatened her with an axe and she went away to a neighbour's house and stayed two ay three days as she was afraid to return home. Murphy rammed the axe handle into her mouth. He also caught her by the throat and left the marks of his fingers for two or three days. He had continually threatened her life and to burn her m the house. Had been home since laying the information. Murphy was away. By Mr Cuthbertson -threw a cup of tea m defendant s fape when he caught her by the throat. Was afraid for her life. Had been married aix years did no work ; the boys did it By the S.M.—Murphy drinks, but is more violent when he is sober.— Philip Dolan, accused's step-son, said Murphy said he would bang for some of them. Hehadeaid so often. Murphy threatened to kill witness when they had had some words He got a stone and said he would knock witness's brains out. Witness work on my mother's place. Saw accused pub the axe handle m Mrs Murphy's mouth and catch her by the Xroit By Mr Cuthbertson-Accused had never actually struck witness Did «uT said no doubt h}B chant was of a violent temper, but the aasault was not of Iserbus nature, and the parties having lived together for six years proved that complainant had not run much that wbj g M wQuld raake " Jrf* to? t*° «»•$* o£ £25 'each and himself m £5.0 to keep the neace which would carry costs ; but the oX might be held over to see if accused toft the district as ftomuwl.

Primitive Methodist Church

The celebration of the Jubilee of, VrlmUive Methodism m New Zealand was commenced m the Primitive Metno disfc Church yesterday, and the enthusiasm with which the proceedings were characterised was a flitting example of tne manner m which the work of this church is carried on. and which is certainly accountable for its success of l»te years. In the afternoon and evening tea was provided by the ladies of the congregation, and the very excellent tables were done full justice to by the numerous viators.. The tables cleared, at eight o clock a pubic meeting was held m the ch"r.^J* There was a large attendance, the build ing being packed. The chair was occupied by Mr Bourne, and addresses were given by the Revs. Dawson, Guy, Jan"! Cocker, and Mr Hall. These speakers gave interesting reminiscenses m con* nection wich the foundation and B""8®" quent work of the connexion, i-he various speakers were attentively li&fc^d to, and frequently applauded, and the audience did not disperse tilt well towards eleven o'clock. The choir u»°elt the leadership of Mr John Jones, and Mrs Davis at the organ, contributed several items. Special meetings m connection with the Jubilee are to be held on Sun day. '

The farther hearing of the case the Returning Officer, Rangitata, against the County Council, for expenses of conduct ing the licensing election, was adjourned till Thursday next. A full report is held over. ._

I F FERRIMAN, BONE MILLS, Wakanui Eoad. iKD he gave it tor his opinion that whoever would make two c«» of corn or two blades of grass to grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before, would deserve better of mankind, and do more essential aervjfea to his country, than the whole race of politicians put together.—-«S##fc TURNIPS. UNLIKE the mangold, this crop will not stand much forcing. When over fed, the roots are spongy and don't keep well. They have also a tendency to dry rot. This is particularly the case when forced to a great degree. Excessive forcing increases the bulk, but the increase is entirely' m water, so that the value of the turnip crop is not increased, but lessened. —Goulding. JUST enough Nitrogen should be given to give the Turnip « quick start through the " fly;" and for this purpose I can recommend my Bone Dust. The crops following the turnips will also give a most wonderful in crease, and the value of my Bone Dust can be seen.for several seasons.
