Mr Guinness: The evidence has die-, olosed the fact that the bank is losing business. Why is that so ? Because the evidence and the proceedings of this Committee are published day by day. My opinion is that we should adjourn In order to take the opinion of the House whether the proceedings of this Com mittee should b* taken In seoreb. I have come to the conclusion that the proper course to take is to exclude bhe press from th« proceedings of this Committee. Tne chairman : That isnot the question. It is that we adjourn. I think the Committee should deliberate. Will the Premier withdraw his motion wi;h that object? " . Mr Hufchison : I objecb to its being withdrawn. . , ' The chairman put the question that the Premier ba allowed to amend his motion. Mr Hutchison— No. One vote stops it. Th« Premier— l will altar my motion, that the Committee adjourn for ten pnnutes to deliberate. Mr Hutchison- We have first to determi- c the qu scion of adj juromenb ir no adjonrnment. •Vhu chairman put ihe moti n for adjournment-, which was negatived. The Premier— l now move that; the Committee deliberate. . . . Mr Hutchison— l object. We have got to a stage which puts us m an unsatisfactory position. The chairman put' the question— Ayes 5, Woeß 5, and he gave his casting vote against adjournment. Mr Montgomery (to witness)— Haß the position taken up by Mr Wateon had any effect upon » he business of the bank ? Mr Booth : I think so. Mr Montgonery : What is the ? Witness: Favorable. Mr Monteomery: Do you think the . enquiry en the present basis, that is to Bay, the baeis for the limitations which have been made by Mr Witeon, is likely to dc die bank material injury ? Witness: Yes. Mr Montgomery : In what way ? Mr Theo. Cooper (counsel for the bank): May I interpose. The Chairman : Counsel cannot address the Committee* Mr Cooper: It is a veiy serious question with reference to the bank. The Ohaitman : I cannot give you permission to address the Committee. Mr Cooper : Then I understand that the Committee will nob bear counsel at a critical po&ition of the enquiry 1 Mr McUowan : I move that counsel be heard. Mr Guinness : I contend that the rules ns to counsel and with reference to general addresses upon evidence before 'the Committee — ' The Chairman : I am preparod to rule upon this gut B' ion. • ' Mr Guinness : I 6ay that counsel by that resolution is not precluded from raising objections. Mr Hutchison : He wishes to address the Committee. . Mr Guinness : No ; to raise an obj action. Tbe Chairman : The rule Is that counsel shall not be entitled to address the Committee. Before I can give him perniibeion that rule must be rescinded. Mr McGowan : -I move that the Ocmmittee now adjourn. Mr Hutchison: That has just been negatived. The motion for adjournment was again put and lost. Mr Hutchison : 1 move that the Committee now deliberate. Mr Guinness : As to whether Mr Cooper shall be heard ? Ihe chairman —Perhaps tbe Committee will find something to deliberate upon. Mr Guinness — This raises the quostion whether we sball rescind our rule, or give it the interpretation the chairman has put upon it. The chairman — What is the use of passing resolutions if they are not to be carried out. , 'Ibe Premier— When. I proposed that rule I did not intend that counsel should be shut out altogether. I objected tv long ppet ches at the commencement and finish. To say that counsel is to sit dumb where the interests of his clients are at stiika would put us m a false position. The chairman— l have ruled distinctly. The resolution states m so many words, that counsel shall not be allowed to ad dress the Committee. Mr Cooper— I wish ro state obj actions that could be fairly raised. Ido not wish to disobey the rales, but I must protest, m the interests of the bank. The Chairman,— You are addressing the Committee If the Committee decides that yon are at liberty to address it, I will oall upon you to do so, but I have a distinct) recollection that the Committee deoided that it- would never do to have interruptions by counsel while the busi ness was going on. Mr Hu'chison— lt is aot a question what the Premier intended, bub what he expressed m supporting his motion. I intimated the danger of counsel being allowed to got up and put questions. It was decided that counsel might pub questions through the chairman. The Premier — As mover of the motion, I had no intention such as that imputed to me by the member for Patea, who ap pears for the prosecution. Mr 'Hutchison — Is that m order, Mr Chairman ? I simply say it is disorderly. Tbe chairman put the motion that the Committee deliberate — Ayes 5, Noes 4. . The Committee again deliberated with closed doors. On resuming The chairman, addressing Mr Cooper, said — Tn reference to what we were speak ing about before the adjournment, I regret that tha Committee cannot allow you to speak to the question. The position of counsel is to privately advise their olients, and any question counsel may wish to put must be put through the chairman. Mr Cooper — When I was advising, my olient it was objeoted to and stopped. The chairman— You ought nob to have been stopped. As to answering questions you are not to put answers for him. Mr Guinness gave notice to move— * That the Committee report to the House that it is advisable that the order of reference suspending the Standing Orders, precluding the admittance of the press, be rescinded.' (This, if carried, and approved of by the House, will have the effeot of exolud ing the press and public from future meetings of the Committee.) On the motion of the Premier, the Com mittee adjourned until 10.30 a.m. on Wednesday.

Ashburton Racing Club.

The annui> 1 meeting of the ABhburton Baoing Club, bold on Saturday evening, was not as well attended as it might have been. Mr Hugo Friedlaudur was chairman, and asked the Secretary to read the annual report, which, though indicating that ths Club was perfectly solvent financially, regretted the lack of interest m it evinced by the public. The subscription had been reduced with the olject of attracting new members, but the list had not been mater ially increased thereby. The Chaiiimn moved the adoption of the report, and regretted the apathy displayed, and the existence of feelings against the Club whi. h he had hoped would have long ago been laid aside. He acknowledged the financial aid lent to the Club by the Tin wald Racing Club, and paid a tribute of praise to Mr Cresswell, the handicapper. The report and balance sheet were I adopted.
