PARLIAMENTARY.

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

Wellington, August 14 Th© Council met at 2 30 p.m. CRIMINAL OOI'E ACT.

After considerable debate the second reading of the Criminal Code Act Amend ment Bill (giving the convict Louis Chemis the right to apply to the Court of Appeal for a new trial) was carried by 17 votes to 16. The Council rose at 4 p.m.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Wellington, August 14 The House met at 2 30. p.m. TABIFF KILL.

Captain Russell gave notice to move, on tl»e motion for the second reading; cf the TarifF Bill—'' That in the opinion of this House, the tariff resolutions, altering the duties of the cut-tome, t>h.>utd be rescinded on the grcunds that by them no simplification of the tariff is effected, and few of the existing anomalies are abolished; no apprecible relief ia granted to anybody, while extra burdens are im posed upon many ; and the es imated increase in the revenue—viz., £10,000 is not c mmensurate with the general disarrangement of trade which will en»ue."

Mr Seddon a»id that aftor the notice of motiiin just given he would be consulting the conscience of members by moving the adjournment of the House till 7 30. Governrat-nt had intimated that they would not take tbe tariff discussion on party lines, and members who had net already tpoken on the financial debate would therefore ba at, a disadvantage. With an amendment like tnia hanging over them, he thought that either this amendment should be withdrawn or the House should be adjourned. Captain Russell said he bad not atiacked anybody by his motion, which was exactly the same aa that he had intimated his intention of moving a few day« ago, and he aid not want to disturb the financial dtbtte. The proper time for his resolution to be taken was on the second reading of the Tariff Bill. They already had bo many changes in the tariff, that they did not know that Government would not again alter the tarifF so com pletely that his (Captain Russell's) motion ; would not be necessary. j

Mr Ward said Captain Russell wished to get the members of the Government party, after having heard their opinions, to do that which was done on former oc casions by the Atkinson party. In face of the statement of Government that they would not object to reasonable alterations, the object of Captain Russell could only be to harass Government. Hia motive was evidently to give those members of the G vernment party who had not agreed with the tariff proposals an opportunity of giving Government a slap in ths face, but tha Government supporters would noc be dragged through the mire in that manner. He asserted that the agricultural com munity by this tariff was receiving relief to the extent of £i 7,000.

Sir Robert Stout thought the coarse proposed by Government was a most ex traordinary one. After further discussion Mr Seddon, in reply, said Government would at 7 30 be prepared to say what course they would take. It was well known the Tariff Bill cou'dnot come down for some time yet, as Government had mere serious matters to consider. If Captain Russell refused to move his amendment at 7.30, Govern ment would treat it with the contempt it deserved, and would take their own course afterwards

The motion was agreed to on the voices and the House rose at 3.50 p m.

The Hou^e resumed at 7 30 p ra,

The Colotiiil Treasurer moved that the House go into Committee < £ Ways and Means. This was to give Captain Eussell an opportunity of moving his motion and to prevent those of the Government party who had expressed views opposed to the various terms of the Tariff being placed in a false position The party was deter mined that the Tariff vote should on!y be dealt with in Committee. He would move that the duty on flannelette, im'tati n fhnnels, raised cotton, and soft spun piece goods, except flannelete 6hh tings, be 10 per cent, ad valorem as from August 15, 1895 ; that the duty imposed by resolution from 31sc July last cease on August 15th, and the differed pa of duty since 31st July b^ refunded, This meant that the duty on flannelettes would be the same as before July 31, and that the duty on fluineletie shirtings be removed, they being admitted free. The loss of revenue would be £3000, but, the self-respect of the Government and the Government pasty was of greater value, Tha Government would not amend the tariff at the dictation oi their opponents, but by the direction of their friends. Mr McKenzie: Why could you not bring it down sooner. (Lnughtfr) Mr Ward : Captain Russell's motion amounted to a motion of want of con fidence,

Captain Russell said that it was contrary »o practice to debete a tariff amendment, and. therefore, he c"*uld not debate this, and neither would his friends. (Laughter.) N«ither would he bring down the motion ef which he had given notica, till the time forVhiph ho had (jjlven notfce was due, namejv, when the Government brought down its Bill. This mak;ng of every motion a want of confidence motion was! becoming farcical. Three times within a| fortnight had the Premier treated motions J as want of confidence motions. He J reminded him of Cox and Box, when Cox j shaping up to a small man, said ' C*n you J fight V the sin dl man saying lno v; Cox said * Then come on ' The Premier with a big party majority following him closely on the various questions was alw^yp crying to J;ha numerically email Opposition to fc'jjqma on/" The tariff motion of which he bad given notice was merely to record the general feeling of dissatisfaction at the tariff proposals. The Premier said that Captain Russell reminded him of the adage 'He who fights and runs away, will live to fight another day.' ( fOh, no, will meet you bye and bye,' and laughter ) The Govern ment could not permit such a notice to remain on the Order Paper without the loati of their self'respect. The Gr°vern" had theresppct and confidence of t|ie country, and those who voted for going into ways and means would be passing a vote of confidence in the Cfovern- Kipnfc. Sir Robert Stoat said that the adjourn ment of the afternoon was allowed the Government so that they could hold a caucus of their supporters ; therefore, the business of the country was interrupted, and his prediction verified that those members who had criticised the tariff so freely had met at the caucus and swallowed it whole. Those members who talked so independently had been rounded up by the Premier, and they would vo'.e for everything they/had ob jScted to. Captain Russell Had done wha6he had never seen any other leader of the Opposition do. Be had made Ministeis run away from their own tariff, which they had taken two years to prepare, and spent £1101 o^ _ and no less 3 then £317 in printing* Captain Russell had done what all the Government supporters had failed fco do : he had saved the working men of the colony from a duty which would have directly affected them to tho extent of thousands of pounds. The Minuter of L<*bor denied that they had run away from Captain Russell. The GoverDmetjt's oiiiangfl of froo-i was itisfaed ' :by the'opirifons r-f their'party and.'hecountry at large. They had said that they would take the opinions of their friends. The Gove'rnrr.ent was fpllowing the precedent set tldwn by "tha late Sir

freedom for atiuudment on the tariff. They were pr< par.d to receive reasonable amendments and improvements. They declined to g > on wbh the business of ths country with a motion of uo-confidence over their heads. V Thy did Captain Russell give notice of thia motion before the Bill came down 'I

Mr T. Mackenzie: "To force reduc tions."

Mr Reeves : It was absmd to say that a handful of Opposition could force reductions.

Mr Ea nshaw : "They h t yedone so." Mr^ Reeves: The Liberal party could do this hut not the Opposition. The Government desired the opinion of thtir friends, for the collective wisdom of the House was greater than the wisdom of any one Minister.

Dr Newman said that the Opposition had at last secured reductions, and (that the Government was already backing down on a number of other items.

Un the motion to go into Committee of Supply being put, the only voice against was chat of Mr Mill", seuior Government whip, who calltd for a division to ensure the votes owing recorded. The only teller who could be procured to act with him was Major Harris, the other Government whip. The motion was carried by 60 to 5, the only votes against beiug Messrs Willis, Kelly, Harris, Mills and McNab

The House then went into Committee of Ways and Means.

The Treasurer moved his resolution.

Mr McKenzie moved an amendment that all fhnnelotfcea be frae. The pro posed distinction only accentuated the difficulties and anomalies of the tariff, and no customs officer could define the difference proposed. This was the item which the Tariff Commission said had caused the greatest confusion in New Zealand daring the past six or seven years. The Colonial Treasurer said thai in that night's Evening Post a leading firm advo cated the very thing the Government proposed. They intended to admit shirtings free, but it would be practically impossible 10 remove all anomalies till there- whb a thorough revision of the tariff.

Mr Button thought that tbe whole duty should be taken off flannelette.

The Premier a?ked of the House to negative the amendment and when they wore discussing the schedules of the B.li they would have an opportunity of recon sidering the matter.

Dr Newman suggested that aa flmnel ette was pure cotton and not flannel at all they should enact that it should not b^ sold under a name suggesting flinnel.

Mr Duthie said that flannelette was almost wholly used by poor paople. Those who could afford it used flannel, and they should abolish the duty on it.

Mr G. J Smith said that the duty to which it was proposed to revert had caused great friction throughout the colony. They should make a uniform duty or abolish it altogether.

The Treasurer and Premier said that if the amendment were withdrawn an oppor tunity would be given to effect a reduc tion.

Major Stewird said that he would have a good deal to say on flannelette when the proper time came. A great deal could be s lid on both sides

Mr Cr<>wther said that the voice of the country would compel both the Tariff Commission and the Government to climb down on flannelette.

The amendment was withdrawn, and the motion carried without dissent.

Mr Mills explained that he and Major Harris called for a division at the request of the Government to test the sincerity of the Opposition. Captain Russell protested against the whips stating that they had called for a bogus division to call into question the sincerity of any section of the House. The resolutions were then confirmed. THE FINANCIAL DEBATE.

Mr Mills at 9 20. p.m resumed the financial debate. He could not wholly approve of the proposed treaties, but otherwise he commended the Budget.

Mr fiuchanui said that the position was serious, as the customs and railway revenues were steadily falling,

Mr Carncros supported a policy of rest. -The House rcse at 12.20 a.m., Mr McNab moving the adjournment of the debate.

The Christchurch Perjury Case

Ho* Guilty,

Ab the Chrlsichureh Supreme Court yesterday, George James Bruce was charged with perjury in the evidence given by him before the Licensing Com mittee at the hearing of the application for the renewal of the license of Cocker's hotel, by swearing that from the window of his room in Manchester Street he could seethe entrance cf tie bar in George Street, and that he saw men and women come tumbling out of the bar. The g tilery was packed, and a few ladies well known in connection with the prohibition movement occupied seats in the front row. A number of ministers and prohi bitionist leaders were among those pre sent. Mr Russell defended the accused, who pleaded not guilty. Both hig counsel and Mr Stringer, who conducted the case for the freely extrcjsed their powers of selection when tbe Jury I was chosen, Mr Russell exhausting his I power of challenging by objecting to I twelve of those whose names were drawn, 1 while seven others were ordered to stand j aside by the Crown.

Tho evidence for the prosecation was the same as that given in the lower court. For tha defence it was stated that tha alleged perjury had arisen through the manner in whic\ at the Licencing Com mi .tee, the qu^s ion had been pub to ac pnsed. Counsel, it was &vorn, first asked Bruce how far he could see down George Stree, and he, it was stated, replied that he could see the upper part. Counsel then remarked, paraphrasing the answer, " Exactly ; as far as the bar," and almost in the same breath asked "Do you know Coker's hotel," Bruce, think ing he was replying to the latter question said "Yes," The j|Ury, after the- retire ment of fifty minutes, found the accused not guilty-

MAGISTERIAL.

ASHBURTON—THURSDAY.

(BtforeMr H. S. Wardell, S.M )

! Alleged Assault.—William Suther land, farmer, was charged on the infor mation of Rudolf Friedlander, with

i having assaulted compkunant by strikii g him on the face with h's fist on July 24 It was further sought to bind over accused to keep tha peace Rudolf Friedlander, in evidence, said that his firm, acting oa the im'ructions of tbe Official Assignee, told tha goods and chattels of accustdon the latter'a farm. There was a mare put up, and sf er it had rescued £2, the accusid bid ano her 2 6J, Witness declined to take le-.s than £1 bids, and he knocked the mare down at £3 to Sutherland, who nfu«ed to take it, and the mare was passed in. Some furniture was put oub on tho lawn, but witness, under instructions, announced that the furniture was not to be sold, but was going back to the house. Suther land came up to him, and after remarking on the good sale, said the furniture had to te sold, and as he insisted on the sale witness proceeded to sell- After the stle Sutherland followed witness and asked him for the account of what the boys had ■ bought. Witness referred him to the 'clerk. Shortly after he came again to witness and asked somewhat excitedly why ho had not sold him the mare. Witness replied that if he had wanted the mare he could have had her. She had not been sold, and had not been put up again. Sutherland was in a hot temper, and used some obscene language to witness, saying also that after all he had done for witness thia was how he had used him. He made some reference to corn packs he had got for witaees's firm, to whose failure he also referred, and then stepped forward and struck witness a vicious blow in the face. Witness did not expect the blow, »nd was tak-n aback by it, but remarked to Sutherland that he w»tild make him suffer in it. Suther land said in reply that ilia? would not be the Ks> time he would attack him. By Mr Cahbertson -Friedlander Bros, held a bill uf sale over Sutherlana's property, and it was under this bill of sale that the sale was hold, under instructions fr< m tho Offi i 1 Assignee Migh; havo. told tho bai'iff to bring the furniture out to the lawn, but was not awnre Mrs Sutherland was ill in bed, nor thit she had to get up to allow of the furniture being rtmoved. O'Loghlinhsd bid £2 for Mrs Sutherland for a trap, and witness had said he h*d better bid for himself as it was a public sale. Did not refuse anyone's bid Had had no personal disagreement wi'h Sutherland during the twenty years he had known him, and did! not, know of any assault he had ever! committed. Declined to say If the same\ could be said of himself. Was certainly afraid that Sutherland would assault him, at any time By the Bench —His cheek! was bruised inside by the blow. The furniture was sold after Sutherland insisted that it should be, and the proceeds were paid into the estate in the hands of the Official Assignee.—T. M Jones corroborated the previous witness in the main, and Thomas Bennett and James Patterson gave evidence as to the bl>w. For the defence, William Su'her land gave evidence, whinh differed from that of complainant on several points Witness said the furniture was put out on tho lawn by order of Mr Friedlander Mrs Sutherland had been in bed for three days, and she had to get up to allow the bed she was lying on to ue put out for sale. In the ki ohen the last chair was removed by the bailiff. During the sale Mr O'Loghlin, on arrangement with Mr Henry Zander, bid for a trap for Mrs Sutherland, but Mr Friedlander refused tho bid, ttlling him to bid for himself. The mare in question was in foal, and she carried a debt of £5 for service. The bid vn-s £2 5i which witness gave—not £2 2-i 6d as complainant had s?id. Wh n he refused witness to let him have the mare, witness reminded h;m that he bad come to witness's phce on a Sunday morning with a statement that the bailiff-, were in every store his fi m had, and a request to get the teams ready and 1 ring away ten bales of cornSiCks from the Tinwald btorrf before the bailiffs came. When witness said he would take the mare complainant replied that he could not have it—that it was sold. Was annoyed that the trap and the mare had been put msb him in the way it had been. The blow did not shift Mr Friedlander a single inch, and was given with the open pajrn and not wi'h the clenched fist.— Michael O'LoghUn said he had bid at the auction for the trap in Mrs Sutherland's name. Mr Friedlander sharply replied that he would not take the b'd unless he bid for himself. Was in the kitchen when the bailiff came in and took the furniture, including the chair witness was sitting on.—A. M. Pearson, bailiff, gave evidence as to the moving of the furniture. Mrs Sutherland's bed was not removed by the baioffs.—His Worship said he would have to convict in this case. The assault was not of a serious character, but it was not provoked. It was merely the outcome of an angry irritated feeling, and the complainant _m,ental feelings were perhaps more hurt than his physical feelings. As Sutherland was Impecunious he would fine him 60s and costs (£9 Sh 6d in all) or fourteen days' imprisonment, but would 1 not require any sureties for the mainten-1 ance of the peaoe. j

IMPORTANT INSURANCE CASE

Mblboubsb, August 14

An important insurance case is before the Supreme Court. A n insurer sued the new Oriental Banking Cor poration for the return of a life policy for £1000, effected for the benefit of his wife and children. He claimed, £300 damages tor detention of the policy, which matured in 1893, and had been deposited with the Bank in 1889, as plaintiff alleged, for safe keeping. The defendant Corporation refused to surrender the policy on the grounds that plaintiff was largely in debted to the Bank, and it had been placed with them as security. Justice Hodges, in giving a verdict for plair tiff, said that under the Married Women's Property Act, a policy effected for the benefit of wife and children created a trust, and formed no part of the ettate or debts.
