PARLIAMENT.

— -«- - ■ Legislative Council

Wellington. September 29 The Council met at 2.30 p.m. Leave of absence was granted the Hon. W. Kelly for the remainder of tho sevssion on account of illness in his family. The following -Bills passed the final stages : Legislative Council Act Amend ment, West Coast Settlement Reserves Amendment, Accident Insurance Cam paniep.

Oil the motion that the Lands Titles Protection Bill be committed, the Hon. ./. D. Ormond spoke ia support of the measure as it afforded protection from frivolous attacks against titles to lands extended to the Crown or private persons by the natives.

The Kon. Toinoana looked upon the Hill as placing the Maoris at a disadvantage as compared with Europeans. In raising the question as to titles ob taiued for native lands, the Hon. K. Taiaroa thought some case.* brought by natives were frivolous, but there were others that required investigation. The debate was interrupted by the 5 p.m. adjournment.

The Council resumed at 8 p.m. The debate on the motion that the Land Titles Protection Bill be committed, was continued by the Hon. Colonel Pitt, who ■Bdmitted the necessity f.-r a provision such as was contained in the Bill, in the interests alike of the natives themselves and the holders of the land, whose titles might be attacked.

Tho Bill was committed, and reported without amendment.

The Solicitors' Bill of Costs, Licensing Committee and Polls.Bills were read a secondTtime, and subsequently passed their stages without amendment. The Company's Act Amendment Bill was committed.

The Hon. Lee Smith moved a new sub clause to clause 5, providing that every director who fails within fourteen days of due date to pay calls, shall cease to be a director.

The effect of this amendment will be that no shareholder will be able to evade payment of calls on account of a director having failed to do so. The motion was agreed to, and the Bill read a third time and passed.

House of Representatives.

Wellington, Sept 29 The House met at 2.30. Sir Joseph Ward introduced the Metho dist Church of Australia and Now Zealand Bill, giving statutory power to change the name of the Wesleyan Church of New Zealand, consequent on its union with the Wesleyan-Methodist Church of Australasia. The Bill was read a first time. The Assets Realisation Board's Land Bill was introduced by Sir J. G. Ward and read a first time.

The Poisons Importation and Carriage Amendment Hills were introduced by the Hon C Mills and read a first time.

The Railways Committee reported on the petition of William Cague, of Waiwakarua, who prayed for compensation for loss a^id damage by flood water, dammed up by the railway formation adjoining his property. The Committee referred the petition to Government for consideration.

Mr Thomas McKenzie urged that this was a case in which Government should grant compensation.

Mr Jackson Palmer considered that if Government gave compensation in this case it should do so in all other cases of a like character throughout the colony.

The Military Pensions Act Amendment Bill, and Railways Authorisation Bill were introduced by Governor's message and read a first time.

A new clause in the Mining Act Amend ment Bill was brought down by Governor's message. The new clause provides that where a mine ownei 1 gets protection from being fully manned, the men employed shall be wages men. The clause, Mr Mc- G-owan explained, does not affect mines worked by tributors. No clause was agreed to.

An amendment in the Stamp Act Amend ment Bill was brought down by Governor's message for the purpose of removing ambt gurty of language in clause 14, which im poses stamp duty on contracts for sale of equitable interests.- After " considerable discussion, in which objection was taken to the amendment on the ground that the proposed tax •would press heavily on the poorer classes, Mr Carroll moved to with draw it, and the House agreed to this course. The amendments made by the Legisla ture Council in the Inspection of Machinery Bill, Jind Bank Holidays were agreed to. Mr Ward moved the second reading of the Victoria College Site Bill which has passed the Legislative Council, and was agreed to.

The second reading was agreed to on the voices.

Ashburton Live Stock Market.

There was a very good attendance of farmers, dealers, and others at the Ashbur ton Yards to-day. The entry of cattle was a very good one, but in some respects the quality of the beeves on offer was not con sidered up to a high standard of merit. For butchers' requirements, the fat stock was rather small, but the majority came to hand in good condition. Not many stores came forward, and only ordinary prices were obtained for all sorts. ' RISE IN SHEEP.

However, if the cattle sale was a little dragging in nature, this was more than Compensated for in the prices for sheep. The late rains have had a beneficial effecb over the whole couufcy. Feed is springing up everywhere now that the weather has turned spring-like. Farmers who, a fort night ago had grave doubts respecting the fted prospects, have now been able to considerably alter their opinions. The rise is an all-round one, and was more par ticularly noticeable in fat sheep. On a rough estimate, it was conjectured that the advance nearly equalled Is per head all round. There were between 2500 and 3000 she-p yarded altogether, including some fine lines of hoggets, which sold well. The freezers looked well, but just now there is not a heavy demand, but it will improve as ' the season advances. The general tone of | the sale indicated an undoubted upward i tendency in prices. In this respect the - sheep sale to-day must be regarded as a ' very important one, both to buyer and seller alike. It must be noted that the fats were well-conditioned. Following are details of the sale : — i Cattle —Stores, 18 months .£3 16s and 2 1 at £2 5s ; calves 35s ; springer £3 5s ; 2 yearlings at 17s 6d. Butchers sorts.—Good steers, £6 10s, £6 12s Sd ; mixed line at £6 each ; 3 stqers at £5. 7s Gd ; do at £5 17s 6d each ;2 at £6 ; 2 at <£6 5s ; 2 at £6 17s 6d.
