PAELIAMENT.

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

Wellington, September 12 The Council meb at 2 30 OOMPANIE9 BILL.

In Committee on the Companies Bill clause 25, whioh provides that where a company is ordered to be wound up by tha Court, under the prinoipal Act, the Official Assignee shall without the necessity of any appointment or order, be the sole and official 1 quidator of eitah oompanyl In reply to a by Mr Orrnond, Mr W 0 Walker said he thought that com panies voluntarily wound up did not come nnder this clause.

Mr Twomey moved an smandment, pro viding that 'already In course ©f being wound up,' as well as companies ordered to be wound up, should oome under the clause.

Mr Louisson protested ugainsb the drastic nature of this amendment, whioh was carried by 16 votes to 13. Mr Bowen pointed oub the danger of legislation, and ventured the opinion that the amendmedt would not bear scrutiny H?hen the 8.11 waa looked into. Mr Twomey moved bo strike out ail the audit olauaes of the Bill, and substitute a clause providing thab the acoounts of all companies shall be audited by the Audit Office. Mr McLean and Mr Louisson opposed, and Mr Jones supported, the amendment. Mr W G Walker considered the provisions of the Aot of 1894, giving shareholders right to apply for a Government audit, met the case. Mr Lee Smith pointed out that it would be an unnecessary expense to the colony, and to the companies, ii small companies were to be all audited.

Mr Bowen thought the suggestion most impractical The Council adjourned at 5 o'c'.ook till 7.30 p.m. Tbe Counoil reFumed at 7 30 COMPANIES BILL

Clause 18, relating to audit, was Cirried without amendment by 17 votes to 1, Mr ffwomey, the mover of the amendment in favour of a State audit of all companies, being the only voter against it. MrTwomy's amendment was consequently negatived. The new clauses recommended by the Joint Statutes Revision Committee were then added to the Bill. One of these la to the following effect:— Under head of pay jneut of calls, it ie provided that it shall be obligatory on the directors to pay their calls on or before the day on which the share holders' c i,lls are payable, and that any director failing to do so shall be liable to a maximum penalty of £50 or a minimum of £5, in addition to his liability for payment of the amount of the call; also, if any director foils to pay his oalis, as provided, it is stipulated that notwithstanding the Mining Companies Acr, 1894, no shares, except those held by the directors of the company, shall b. liable to forfeiture under that Ace for non payment of calls. Com plianoe by the directors wibh the provision of this clause must also be a condition pre cedent to judgment being given against a shareholder for the amount of his calls

On (he motion of Mr Lee Smith, anew clause was addsd difqualifying from fees or remuneration any director indebted for calls, or who is an absentee from directors' meetings for three months, unless such absence is with the leave of the directors

Ib was farther carried, on Mr Lse Smith's motion, that every director co disqualified, who receives any payment contrary to thia clause, or who is party to any such payment, shall be liable to a £50 penalty for each cfifenco, and any such payment made to him may be recovered at ;vny time within three years by the liquidator in the event of the company being wound up ; also, that it shall not ba lawful for any shareholder to transfer, or for aDy crmpany to accept a transfer, of any share on which calls are due

Se oral other new clauses were added Mr Twomey wished to move a new clause prohibiting the registration of any mining company unless the warden certifies that the olaim has been thoroughly tested, and that there ie a reasonable prospect of it being payable; or unless {in areas outside mining districts) an Inspector of Miaae certifies to the game effeob.

Mr Reeves described the proposed addi tion to a warden's duties as fardel

Tho Chairman cf tho Committee rulod that he couM not accept Buoh an amendment to a Compacies Bill, and that ib could only be moved in a Mining Bill

Tha Bill was reported, and the third read' lag set down for next day. Mr Twomey draw the Speaker's attention to the Chairman's ruling, and gave nctioe that he would move the reoommiftal of the Bill, to allow bim to move his clause, The Council ro£e at 9 20 p m

Tha Limitation of Profits and Prevention of Rings and Combines Bill (Mr Horaiby), Mining Act Amendment Bill (Mr McGowan) and the Ocean Beach Public Domain Aot 1892 Amendment Bill (Mr Morrison), were intro duced, and read a first timei JEBSIDIKT MCKINLEY Mr Seddon moved, • That this House desires to express its detestation and horror ail the diabolical, wicked unprovoked attempt made to take the life of the worthy and re" vared President of the United State", Mr William MoKinley, and desires to extend to Mrs McKinley, relatives of the President, and the American people, its warm and sincere sympathy, and further shares with all good peopla the sorrow and grief that a man could be found who without cause or provocation should attempb to take the life J of a good and greab man ; that the members 1 rejoice, and are delighted, to hear that the assassin has failed in his attempt, and that the wounds inflicted are not likely to prove fatal, and hope thab the sufferer may recover speedily and be restored to health, and that he may for years to oome bo of service to his country and the world at large.' The motion was seconded by Captain Rub' sel, supported by Mr Q W Russel', Jand Sir Joseph Ward, and agreed to unanimously* FOMON_ COUNTY BILL, The Local Bills Committee recommended that the Egmonb County Bill ba nob allowed to proceed, aa the Standiog Orders had nob been complied with. ANOTHER ALLEGED BREACH OF _ RIVILEGE, Messrs Horneby, and Pirani each gave notice to move that a breach of privilege had been committed. MORNING SITTINGS. Mr Seddou moved that all other bußinepfl be postponed in order that he might bring on bis motion to rescind the resolution fisirg morning sittings of the House: Captain Russel protested against the persistent refusal of the Government to answer questions* The Premier's motion was oarried by 31 votes to 18. Mr Seddon then moved that the resolution of tho House of 10th July last fixing morning sittings of tbe House be rescinded, He said he did not wish to condemn morning ilttings, bob bhe delay bhab had been occasioned in the work of the Committees warranted him in bringing on his mobioc, besides, with a fixed hour for rising on two nights of the week, it would be a long time before they could geb the Fsbimates through, lb was hia deßire to bring the lesaion to a close by the firsb week in October, and he believed it members set their minds to it thia could be done. Ib would facilitate business if tho morning sittings were abolished. Captain Russell sympathised with what Mr Seddon had said aboub the morning sittings interfering with the work of the Committees, bub he hoped he would be merciful and fix a resonable hour for lislng on two nights of the week.

A lengthly discussion ensured, in the oourafi of which Mr Graham moved an addition to the motion. " That the House shall not sit after midnight "

The debate was Interrupted by the 530 adjournment. The House resumed at 7 30 MORNING SIITINGS.

The debate on the proposal to aholleh morning sittings of the House waa continued Mr Beddon strongly opposed Mr Graham's amendment on the ground that ib would enable a few members to effectually block the business:

On a division Mr Graham's amendment was negatiyed by 32 votes to 26, and the

i Premier's motion was oarried by 35 votes to 23. THE FINANCIAL DKBATE The financial debate was resumed at 9.15 p.m. by Mr R Thompson, and was continued by Msssrs Kaihan and Houston. Ab 12.30 a.m. the House rose till 2.30 p.m. nexb day

A Warning to New Zealand Producers.

Unibed Preßa Association—By Eieobrio Telegraph

Wellington. Sepb 13

Mr Oameror, the produce commissioner in London, in a reporb dated tho 9th August, warns New Zealand producers against the idea that because stocks of New Zealand sheep are lessened, the markets will be thereby affected, seeing that the trade can get either Australian or River Prate mutton instead. There is, he aays, no inclination of tha trade to store New Zealand meat in any other csntre than in London, but he is inclined to believe that if only an attempt was made to store in other centres and push the distribution fiom them, the trade in the New Zealand article could be greatly increased throughout the provinces.
