The Loan and Mercantile.

\ PER PRESS ASSOCIATION. London, March 19. In delivering his judgment in the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company's case, Justice Wil liams expressed the opinion that Mr Thomas Russell had to a large extent been benefited by his not bona tide dealings with land and loan companies. While leferrinsj to the Judge's de cision in the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company's _ case, the " Times " says that the public are astonished at the directors' appealing to their innocence, and adds that their ( public position ought to render them impatient to meet enquiry. ( Melbourne, March 20. The representatives of the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Oompany here have received no advices from London, and judge from this that the proceedings reported in the press cablegrams refer to the old debenture issue of the company, and has no con nection with the reconstruction scheme which the English Court has been asked 4© confirm on Wednesday next. Mr Brassell left Australia on the first of the month, and should mive about Satur day week. (Received March 21, 10 45 a.m.) London, March 21.

New South Wales Parlia ment

« CHEAP MONEY."

{Reoeived March 21,10.30 a.m.) Sydney, March 21. In the Legislative Assembly last night the Mortgages Suspension Bill, which was designed to afford concessions to mortgagors during the present period of depression, came on for second reading. Several speakers justified the Bill on the ground that the leniency shown to banks should be extend«d to their customers. Sir George R. Dibbs said if such a Bill were carried, it meant farther reconstruction of the banks or liquidation. The measure, in his opinion, was a highly dangerous one. The motion for the second read ing was carried by 39 to 31. When the Bill got into committee the pro ceedings degenerated into a burlesque. A scene occurred through Mr Eden accusing the Premier of receiving three thousand pounds from the banks for passing the Bank Bills. Sir George Dibbs immediately jumped up and characterised the statement as "an infamous lie." Mr Cook became in volved in the wrangle, which eventually ended in both Mr Eden and Mr Oook apologising and withdrawing the state ments to which exception had been taken. The Bill was so mutilated by the Corc nrittee that the Premier deserted it in disgust, and the House was counted taut. Sir George Dibbs, speaking at the Licensed Victuallers' dinner, said he hoped the liquor question would be settled in a manner just to the class of people who contributed something like ,£IOO,OOO annually to the revenue of the country. _____

The Licensing Election.

I There was considerable stir in the vicinity of the Courthouse and Library all day, thess buildings being the polling booths for the town and immediate vicinity. At each there were two tants used as offices, for the one party calling; itself " moderate " and the other calling itself *• temperate," and the burly clerks of th« one and the fair agents of the other were equally attentive to the electors who came to record their votes. Vehicles for the conveyance of electors to the poll were run in the interest of each side, and both sides were very bosy. The final result will be known pretty late to-night. Afc Tinwald the polling for Rangitata has been going on vigorously. Up to two o'clock 150 peraons had recorded their; votes.
