LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.

Friday, October 3. PROTECTION. In the Legislative Council to-day, after the transaction of routine business, The Hon Mr Chamberlain asked if the Government intended to, introduce any measure for the protection <?f local in dustries. He said a protective policy was necessary to the prosperity of the country, (No, no.)' * * '’■y 1 " ri' •' 1 1 The Hon Colonel Whitmore said the Goveriiirient intended to refer the whole subject to a Select Committee.

, PUBLIC TRUSTEE. . ~ The Hon. Mr Holmes moved for a return fronithe"Public,Trust Office, under the Public Trustee Act. He expressed his belief that had there, been a public trustee in England, as there was here, the ruin of many persons by the failure of the Glasgow Bank would not have been caused. - - The Hon Mr Woterhouae said the ap pointment of a public trustee was outside the business of Government. Had there been a public trustee in England, Govern ment would have been responsible for the whole of the losses of the Glasgow Bank. The motion was carried.

MR. J. C. brown’s QUARREL WITH THE

4 1 IION.' JOHN HALL.

Mfr J.-C. r ßrown applied to be allowed te ask a question without notice. It was, that the-.Postmaster-General be requested to shite whether tlie Luna, on 31st Aug., left Wellington with a mail on board, contrary to what was stated by the Hon. Mr. Hall. Mr. Hall said that he had never stated any date as to when the Luna left Wel lington with a mail. Eventually the latter part of the ques tion was struck out and - the question as amended was put. Mr. Fisher said the information asked for would .be obtained. , , . ~. WASTE LANDS BOARDS.

Mi*. Hutchison -asked :r Government whether it is their intention, in connection withiltheiE' ! ipfoposed , land legislation j to introduce a measure of reform in the Waste‘Land Boards- of rthe, Colony.; .and if so, will the Minister of Lands indicate the direction‘in; v .yefonnj jwill show itself. Mr. Brown said that on the second reading ofJffialLah^BUiritipW.'bbfpy©;the House, he would state the views of the Government on the point.

THE GOVERNMENT STEAMERS. .~, , . Mr. Hutchison asked Govenherit if they ■will be prepared to call for tenders for the repairs of the Government steamers as they did for other public works arid -re pairs. The Premier agreed with the general tenor of the question, but ; they were not always able to get these repairs done by tender. 4 g PRISON ’ /LABOR. Mr. Stevens asked whether there is any foundation for statements made that a number of men have been dismissed from their employment on- the- ballast train bn the Canterbury section of the New Zea land railways, and that prison labor has since been employed on that; duty.; r /.^ Mr. Macandrew replied that having no works for the prison gang they were em ployed in the, work indicated. CUSTOMS REVENUE RETURNS. , Mr McLean asked the Premier if he would lay before this House a statement showing receipts’ ' revenue for the quarter ending 30th September, 1879 ; also receipts from land revenue for thiefsamejperipd.') APPOINTMENTS SINCE PROROGATION. Mr Bowen asked if the Premier would lay before this House a return of all per sons appointed since the prorogation of the late Parliament, to any paid office or position of emolument under Government, stating in each case the nature of the office, whether temporary or permanent, and the emolument attached to it. SIR J. VOGEL. Mr Murray asked..if .Sir J. Vogel ap plied to the Government'for leave to stand for stituency' in- the House of Commons.' If so, was such permission refused, and why? The Premier said that the Agent- General liad.made no such application, and the opinion’ of tlio 'Government was that he should not stand as representative for an English! other, constituency. EMPLOYEES ON GOVERNMENT RAILWAYS. ■Mr (AndugwA 'tasked'] 1 if /all//the r em ployees on Government Railways were treated in a uniform manner as regards hours of work and rates of pay ; if a uni form working day exists of eight hours ; if any exception exists, to whom does it apply ; if a uniform-rate of pay exists for similar services given ; if there is any fixed rate for the payment of overtime, and if so what that rule is, and is it ob served in all cases. Mr Macandrew, in reply, laid on the table a copy of the regulations under which railway employees were engaged. yfOXi.CicHB 'JURY L AWS.* - Al ,‘i d.V7 j .Mr Hutchison asked if the Government; intended r to introduce ,a, further reform in; the i iribre 1 especially (1) by the; abolition of the Grand Jury system, (2) by improvement of the./coronors’inquest t>y jury, and (3) by an increase of the pay •naent-.to.common jurors. j ‘Tile (Premier said'the whole of the ques-; tion was under consideration by the Go vernment. j

land was proclaimed an arrangement would be made for receiving applications for mining purposes. FIRST READINGS. The following Bills were introduced and read a first time For the Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt (Mr. Hutchison) ; the Debtors and Creditors Act 1876 Amendment (Mr Sheehan). The No-Confidence Debate. Mr. Bowen resumed the debate on the No-Confidence amendment. He said the grossest misrepresentation had been made against the Canterbury Members in con nection with the Land laws. Statistics would show that there were move of the yeoman class settled ,on the lands by virtue ofUhese laws than in.any other place. For the objectionable part of the Canterbury land laws he said the Premier was alone responsible. When Governor of the colony, lie had, in defiance of the prayer of the people, given effect to legis lation which actually gave away their lands to the large monopolists. What lie did was in defiance of the machinery of the Supreme Court. To those who were acquainted with all the facts of the case, it was perfectly amazing to see the Pre mier trying to shift his responsibility for these proceedings on to the shoulders of others. What disgusted Members on that side of the House was the abso lute, imposture there was in the cry set up by the Government of its Liberal interests. A good number of extracts had been made from Mr. Hall’s speeches in the Legislative Council. * Now, what were the" facts of the ' case. These very speeches were in reality the answers made to questions put by the present Colonial Secretary. The fact was that there* were ;no -fixed parties in a new country like ours. It was simply absurd. -. Parties were from time to time created as occasion arose. Any of the acts of the Government done in defiance of Parliament would in another country have been sufficient to unseat the Govern ment. Their conduct in connection with Mr Larnach was quoted as a case in point, l In Parliament it was. stated that Mr Larnach went home at his own ex pense, and now it turned out that he had been paid some thousands of pounds. Mr Bowen instanced the Triennial Parlia ments Bill, and stated that it had draw backs which had not been fully con sidered. It would do away with an appeal to the country on the occasion of some sudden emergency. In a case of that kind it would be deemed more advisable to allow it to run out. .It was not, how ever, a question which divided both sid s of the House. It only, divided'individual members.' ' He' hoped that those Bills which had -been:kept dangling before.the country would now-be; allowed to pass, and that the . Legislature would settle down to the business of the country, and not have meii! going about idle asking them for, bread and getting nothing better than a stone/ He then alluded to the Land Bill, and stated that the objection of his side of the House as to the defects of the Bills have now been fully sus tained. Hefelt convinced that this country would -be satisfied with nothing short of a more equitable distribution of taxation than was provided for. In con cluding he stated that his side of the House hoped to' see true Liberalism, end not the word made, use,of for,mere clap-trap purposes. . , t - „ . ■Mr. TainuFremarked : upon the fact of the leader of .the . Opposition * having left tlie Upper House and come into this one. He did not know all the time the lion, gentleman had been in the Government that ho had ever passed any laws for the, good of the Maoris. He. thought that Sir W. Fox ought 'to have been leader of the Opposition, and he felt convinced that he would* have ; been able to form a Go vernment. He would ask that any laws passed might "be made similar to those passed for the European. He believed the Premier, if left alone, would be able to remedy some of the evils endured by the Native race/" The natives of the Mid dle Island thought! that, nothing had been;, done for their special benefit, but they thought that legislation was now pro gressing in that direction. , i t Mr Tawhia said that the leader, of the * Opposition was a member of a-Govern-- who embarked the cplony in.a Maori war, and it was not fair'fo'f them to blame the Government now inafffico.'p He had come to the House as ; ,,a friend of Sir George. Grey and Mr ..Sheehan, and he. would cany out what he was’sent to do. ; Mr Tomoana said Hie, came there about, the native.,grievances.. He came, to., sup port those" vtlib were doing well for Hie Maori. Not one promise" made affecting the Natives throughout ithe islands had been fulfilled. He: did ,not think the Native Minister had] administered' affairs satisfactorily: 11 Personally/ he was not op posed to the Native Minister, nor yet to the Premier, but he considered they had misrepresented the Native affairs. He could not support the Ministry in the pre sent crisis. ...... 'hf >-T 1 /

j Mr. Sheehan said he would'not'have ' spoken at all but for the fact that there iwere so many new members by whom 'his silericb miglitfl be J misconstrued. -;j He ; thought they would be glad to have heard the Maori member who had just sat down. It appeared< -from , the remarks- : made.. by; one of these members, that the leader of the Opposition had intended the Maoris. The member had said that Mr. Hall was a new member, and that he believed all he had said to him would be carried out.' That was the way in which support was gained. Whatever was asked was promised. They had befcn told that the Premier was the first man to make war in New Zealand, whereas the fact was the war was-in gene ral swing when the Premier came here. Some of the promises made by the leader of the Opposition to the Maori members were perfectly absurd. The same quess tions had been put to him (Mr. Sheehan and he replied, "it can’t be done in th) present .state ■ of . Maori affairs, it is quite impossible. He could come "to no other conclusion than that Mr. Hall for party pur poses had made promises he never would nor yet intended to fulfil. He would ask them to consider for a moment the posi tion of the case. They claimed to be the superior race ; they had introduced Christianity amongst the natives, and yet for party purposes, to gain these benches, they misled the Maori and made pro mises to him they never intended to fulfil. He 'would Say that the .members ,on the Government side of the House were well satisfied with, the change which had taken place in the leader of the Opposition. He thought they would all agree that in Mr Hall they had an improvement on what they had last session. He referred to the fact that they liad gone to the country

with a majority of 14 against them. They have found that they had come back with a good firm majority in their favor. He further alluded to the absence of certain leaders —Sir W. Fox, Mr Whitaker, etc., and argued that these facts alone showed that the Opposition had not the sympathy of the. country with them. He had to complain of the course taken by the Opposition as being, if not unconstitu tional, at all events unparliamentary and unfair. They moved a vote of want of confidence before the Government were allowed to bring down their measures. Now that was most un fair to the new members. Old mem bers knew from past experieuce, and all the information that conld be got from Parliamentary papers and records of tlie House what' took - these new ones at a disadvantage. They had to take for granted that whatever they were told was true, and were not allowed an opportunity to investigate the truth or otherwise for themselves. He then went on to say that it was a well known fact that many would be disposed to support the Government, but the excuse/they made for their defec tion, was, to use their own words, because they could not stand Sir George Grey. He would defy anyone to point out a valid reason why the Premier should be thus denounced. His (Mr. Sheehan’s) private character had been attacked last session. He would say nothing about that, but when he found his private character again assailed outside the House during the late elections, he thought he had a right to complain. The constituency had very properly rejected the candidature of hfs maligners, and he hoped constituencies would:,always niako an example of such cowardly conduct in a similar way. The Member’s speech was interrupted by the 5.30 adjournment. '* ! The House resumed at 7.30.

Mr. Slieehan resumed the debate. He proceeded to rebut a statement by Mr. Hall that discontent with the Government existed all over the colony. He assumed that special reference was made to the feeling in the North Island. The fact that the Maoris of the Thames refused to give up the offenders was no reason to'believe that they were opposed to Government. On the contrary, tlie tribe there had done its best to maintain the law, but their blood was thicker than water, andit was on that principle they refused to give up those offenders. They had been com plained against about the Luckie transac tion, but what were the facts 1 The Oppo sition in their power were in the habit of importing civil servants from the Home country whenever an opportunity occurred. In appointing Mr. : 1 Luckie Government appointed one who had been a very old colonist. In regal’d to the lunatic asylum accommodation complained of by the Opposition, to make it complete would require a million of money. They had not the funds at their disposal, and all they could do was to make such improvements as they could from time to time. With regard to the. Hinemoa he could say that no one knew the steamer less than himself. About using the telegraph, for. election purposes, he could show that any tele grams he had despatched on such business were paid for, and he believed his col leagues followed the same course. , That state of things was not the case when the Opposition was in office. The Opposition were not the representatives of those who ‘desired liberal measures. : The attempt last session to remove Government had failed; and he would assure the House that they would be no party to a coalition Government. If defeated'they would go out, and bide their time. They would be prepared to. stand,.or fall by their party.. They would simply take their defeat. The Opposition might'lvin the day by a vote or two; if so, they would find] that their trouble would then only begin. They were prepared, on their side of the House, to go to a vote at once, and would advise those on his side not to speak any. more. f,;a ; -■ . :

Dr. Wallis—No ! (He was’received by the House with cries of “ Divide.) Those cries confirmed him in.-, his determination to address the House.. He charged the Opposition with perpetrating' a catch' to get at tlie new mernbers./If they carried out the Liberal.;measures they were;sent to carry out, .a dissolution would have to take place at'the end of this Session. ‘The Opposition were attempting to defeat that purpose.. If the amendment : wa?.carried,; lie predicted, that not t one of the mea sures put forward ih" the‘speech would be passed ; but on the contrary,/the: legisla tion of the Cplony would revert again .to the old slow groove in. which they had so, long run. !:>y! x "‘ The question I was . then put—That . the amendment stand part of the-question, when there voted for] the Ayes'43, ‘arid for the Noes 41. • The l, foll6wiiig-are" the division lists 3o vy ;Kl o;; ■ AYES.'

Mr. Hall moved—“ That Messrs Trim ble, Atkinson, Pitt, and the mover be elected to prepare the address as adopted. The motion was put and carried. The address, as amended, was then read and adopted. On the motion of the Premier .it was resolved to go into Committee of Ways and Means next sitting day. THE LUNA, Replying to a question put by Mr J. 0, Brown, — Mr. J. T. Fisher said the Government steamer Luna did not on the 31st August, 1872, take away a mail from Wellington, but that' she brought back a mail from Port Chalmers on the 2nd September following, ADJOURNMENT. The Premier said that as the House had affirmed the amendment that the Govern ment as constituted does not possess the confidence of the House, he would move that the House now adjourn till Tuesday, •This being carried, the House adjourned, till Tuesday next.

A STRANGE STORY.

A remarkable will case which came be fore Sir James Hannen recently has been compromised!' The inquiry affeoted seri ously the honor and reputation of more than one person; and the validity of no fewer than three wills and several made by a young Welsh squire, Mr. John Davies Lloyd, of Alltyrodyn, in Cardigan, shire, in favour of Mr. Allen, his solicitor, was in dispute. Mr. Lloyd was the repre sentative of an .ancient family which had ’ time out,of mind lived at AlJtyrodyu, or near it, in Cardiganshire. But the old blood had roceived plebeian mixture. There had been a succession, of misalli ances in the family. The grandmother of the testator married a servant at a hotel, and left him a life interest in the property. The only child born of this marriage took to wife the daughter of a publican near Woolwich. The testator, who was born of this union, married, a ballet-dancer at the Alhambra. Whether it was the ple beian op the old Lloyd blood which worked too fiercely within his veins, he was hot tempered, impetuous, and wild, and his education and circumstances were not such as to teach him self-control. His father died when he was only two years of age; his mother married again, and he found himself at twenty-one his own master, without councillors,' and in, possession : of estates yialding a rental of £3OOO to £4OOO. He drank hard; and exposure and excesses ’ quickly ruined liis vigorous constitution. He was recklessly extravagant, spending in one year £44,477. He purchased six acres of diamond .diggings in Africa, spent £755 a year on tobacco, hired a negro melodist to instruct him in the banjo at a cost of J £l2O, and, on the strength of liis accomplishments, proposed to become a member of, Parliament. In the course of a suit in Chancery he became acquainted with Mr. Allen, who was at first a manag ing clerk and afterwards a partner of a firm of solicitors in Bedford Row. Shortly after Mr Lloyd .came of age he made a will, bequeathing all his personal estate to Miss Crowhurst, who became his wife, and devising the whole of his real estate to his half-uncles, who, as it happened, were rather younger than he. This* will made Mr. Allen executor, and. left him an an nuity of £SOOO. About; a year- later Mr. Lloyd made a second will, ...by-which his friend’s legacy was increased to £IO,OOO. From time to time he added codicils, and one of: these increased Mr. Alienas legacy by another £IO,OOO, making £20,000 in all.. A third will was executed'shortly before’ Mr! Lloyd’s death, and by this .all tlie estates were left to the testator’s chil dren, with remainder in fee to Mr. Allen. The testator also bequeathed to Mr. Allen a legacy of £25,000, subject to the obli gation of paying . his debts. All that his. sister was to receive was an annuity of ; £300; . and this, was ultimately revoked by a codicil. It was this will which was in dispute. The terms agreed upon were these-—the name of Mr. Allen was to be struck out of .the will of February, 1878, and, there having been a revocation of all the previous -wills, he would take no part! of and no interest in - either the personal or real estate of the deceased. The estates would, therefore, remain in the family of the testator, and the personal property would.be divided according to their rights between the members of the family. As to costs, it was thought right that that burden should not be put upon Mr. Allen, and a sum of £SOOO would be allowed him to be applied by him to that purpose.

.The Nihilists. St. Petersburg ad; vices announce that considerable excite;- ment bas been caused by the Nihilist Committee addressing summonses to nuf inerous rich merchants to deposit large sums of money, under penalty of death, to recover the' expenses of the revolution ary propaganda. Several merchants, -fearing that these threats might be carried out, have paid- over... the amounts dq .manded.y,, ... i
