The motion was lost on the voices. The Hon. C. C. Bowen moved a proviso to clause 222 — "Application to outlying islands "be struck out. He contended that the clause would apply to our recently acquired islands in the Pacific, and as that indicated the first step of a new policy with regnrd to such islands, lie thought th** question should be dealt with in a separate Bill.

I On the motion of Sir Joseph Wardjdfffe p j following Bills were introdnced and read ; a first time: —Pharmacy Act Amendment, Law Societies, and Companies Act Amend- j ! ment. PETITIONS. The Public Petitions Committee reported on the petition of I). Brent, who prayed j for relief on account of his salary beingl ; reduced and his services being dispensed ' with by the Otago High School Board, j I The committee referred the petition to the ', Government for favourable consideration. j | The report was adopted. ! With regard to a petition praying for ; consideration for John Ross, of Lyttelton, i who had been for thirty-eight years a school i teacher, the Public Petitions Committee ' had no recommentation to make. j MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS . ! On the motion of Sir Joseph Ward, a select committee of twenty-two members i was set up to consider the Municipal Cor- ] porations Act Amendment Bill. ] questions ! In reply to questions, Ministers stated that there was not the slightest intention j of remitting fines imposed for the sale of j diseased stock. That at the present time there were 50,000 acres in the North Island open for selection by would-be-sefctlers. That the Government could not see its way this season to exempt from stamp duty cheques used in the service of Education j Boards. That the Government could not hold out any hope this session of providing funds for the erection of a museum for Maori antiquities, but every other step was being taken to ensure something being done ■ at an early dale. That it was not intended to place a sum on the^Supplementary Esti mates this session to enable Education Boards to defray necessary expenses of school committees. That the release of* P. T. Moore was decided upon on tho merits of the Qase, and could not in any way be re garded as a precedent. The House rose at 5.50 p.in The House resumed at 7.30 p.m. LAND TIIANSFER. The Land Transfer Act Amendment Bill passed through committee with technical amendments. TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION. In committee on tho Manual and Techni cal Instruction Act Amendment Bill there was a good deal of discussion on the pro posal which added " managers of associated classes " to the persons to whom local au thorities way contribute subsidies on voluntary contributions. Subsequently Mr Massey raised a point of order, which was discussed at length. Eventually it was referred to the Speaker,, who said he wpuld intimate his decision later on. Further consideration of fcho Bill was, therefore deferred. ACCIDENT INSURANCE. In Committee on the Accident Insurance Companies Bill, Clause 7 was amended to read as follows : —" The Colonial Treasurer is hereby empowered to ask for such addi tional explanation of any item in the state ment deposited ns he deems necessary for the purposes of this Act." LAND TITLES. The Land Titles Protection Bill was com mitted. In Clause 2, which provides that the con sent of the Governor-in-Council is necessary

before proceedings can betaken to question the validity of land titles, Mr Hone Hcke moved an amendment, to the effect that the power of allowing cases to be brought should be vested in the Chief Justice, in stead of the Governor-in-Cotmcil. The Hon. J. Corroll opposed the amend ment, as he thought it better for all con cerned that the responsibility of deciding whether a prima facie case hnd been made out should rest with the Grovernor-in-Coun cil. TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION. ( After the supper adjournment, Sir Mau rice O'Eorke ruled on a point that had been raised in Committee on the Manual and Technical Instruction Act Amendment Bill. Tie said that he had looked carefully into the Bill, and compared it with the Act of 1900, which the Bill proposed to amend. He found that the term "con-j trolling authority" covered " associated ! j classes," and it did not appear to him that 1 I the amendment to which exception had ! 1 been taken in auy way increased, the expen- t diture already authorised, or in any way 1 violated the privileges of the House. LAND TITLES. The House then resumed consideration of the Land Titles Protection Bill in Com mittee. TECHNICAL INSTRUCTION. Consideration of the Manual and Tech nical Instruction Bill, in Committee, was j resumed shortly before I a.m. ' In the course of a long discussion, it was objected that/this Bill would take the control of technical education out of the hands of school committees, and place it in those of such local bodies as Eoad Boards. The Hon. C. H. Mills said that he had no wish to exclude committees from the Bill where it was shown that their inclusion was wise and judicious, and he moved a proviso to the effect that whore a school ," committee joins with a public Association ! or a local authority to establish associated I classes, the Board of Education shall be j the controlling authority. | This was agreed to. j « Another sub-section was added, on the I j motion of the Minister, to give power to a- •■ i school committee singly to establish tech- j J nical classes, the Board of Education to be ' the controlling authority in auy case. i ! The remaing clauses were agreed to, and j the Bill passed its final stages. j ■ The Land Transfer Act Amendment Bill, j ' and the Accident Insurance Companies Bill ■ also passed their final stages. I The House rose at 2.5 a.m. j Wellington, Sept 19 ■ The House met at 2.30 p.m. * ! The Courthouse Sites Exchange Bill (Hon Mr McGowan), was introduced and read the first time. The Statutes Revision Commission re commends that the Coroner's Bill be not < proceeded with this session. j In reply to questions, Ministers stated j that the Government saw no reason for'! setting up a Commission to enquire fully j into the whole working of the co-operative j system of labour, as conducted on our j public, works and roads ; that the delay in granting discharges paying the money j due to the men of the Seventh Contingent was not the fault of the New Zealand ; Defence Department. The difficulty was . that the accounts had not yet been received from Sjuth Africa although the Defence Department had cabled twice and written twice. The Government was now consider ing whether something should not be done, j even in the absence of the accounts ; that the Government had beeu advised that the laying of the remaining portion oi' tin; Pacific cable by the steamer Colonia was expected to l>o completed at this end of October, in which case through communi cation by that routo would bo available early in November; th:it the Government proposed to take over complete control of both the liotorua and Te Aroha hot springs ' districts ; that it was intended to establish saiiatoriums for the treatment of consump tion in the South Island as soon as possible; that tenders would be invited in the colony for the building of a steamer to run on Lake Wakatipu; that full consideration would be given to the requests for a reduc tion in railway freights ou the carriage of road mt'tal and fertilisers; that the Govern ment did not intend at present to introduce legislation in regard to the Press Associa tion ; that as a result of efforts now on foot, it was hoped the colony would g«fc the kind of service to South Africa that was desired; that if the House recognised the necessity for passing legislation this session to amend tin; law relating to Licensing Committees, it could be passed if members refrained from introducing debateabie nvitter ou the whole licensing question. I The House adjourned at 5.30 p.m.
