and we trust that, ho will not allow it to rest until the reform he desires is efFected. In allowing six months’ salary, it would of course be necessary to limit the amount to say £IOO, as, without this provision, it would be open to serious abuse. The bankruptcy laws of the colony have long called for revision, and we hope that the present Ministry will succeed in framing a measure which will fully meet the require ments of both debtors and creditors for many years hence.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Friday, July 23. Tho House met at 2.30. Mr. Richardson presented a petition against the retention of the bottle license system. Mr. J. B. Fisher gave notice that he would ask, If the Alexander McDonald appointed a native land purchase agent, had been convicted of shooting two mail coach horses at Palmerston. Mr. Lundon gave notice that he would ask, If Government had considered the policy of imposing a tax on coals. Replying to questions, it was stated that the case of M‘Minn and Kirkbride, .tried in the Court at Marton, had not been taken notice of by Government, as no formal-report had been received on the subject. Government recognised the sacrifice made by miners employed in re covering the bodies of the miners acciden tally killed in the Government sludge channel at Kuinara, but thought it would be an insult to offer them payment for their services.—Government-was not dis posed to reduce the fee charged for the naturalisation of foreigners.—Government would oppose any proposal to print a supplementary Hansard of speeches de livered by the native members in the Maori language. Mr. Mocrhouse gave notice that he would bring on, at the earliest possible date, a motion for the second reading of the Deceased Wife’s Sister Marriage Bill, transmitted from the Upper House. The Treasury Bills Bill was read a second time.

On the motion for going into Commit tee of Supply, Mr. Seymour said the pro posal to add L2OO to the salary of the Chairman of Committees had been made without his consent, and, not only was he prepared to forego it, but also to have the regular salary reduced, in accordance with the general policy of reduction. •In Committee of Supply, the debate was resumed on the item, L 450, miscellaneous vote for compilation of Maori history. After discussion, Government agreed to the vote being reduced to L3OO, on the understanding that a bonus would be granted at the discretion of the House for the early completion of the work. Glass 1, Legislative Department, was considered. The Hon. John Hall said that, in view of the 20 per cent, reductions to be made in Ministerial salaries, Government pro posed • a similar reduction in members’ honorarium.

Mr. O’Rorke said he would justify the ’ proponed increase to the Chairman of Committees. The two sessions held last year gave members, in the shape of hono rarium, considerably more than had been paid to the Chairman of Committees. His ‘salary this year was not a fair considera tion for the work he had to do, and the increase was proposed to recoup him for that loss. He dissented from the Pre mier’s proposal to reduce the amount of the honararium, stating that he believed in their case and that of the Civil Service there was no comparison. Mr. Sutton said it would be establishing a bad precedent for the House to reduce the civil servants' salaries and not reduce the honorarium. At the proper time, he would move that the amount be reduced to Ll4O. Vote-Legislative Council L 1620. Item—Chairman of Committea (addi tion to permanent salary, L 300), LIOO. Struck out on the understanding that the amount would be placed on the Suppli mentary Estimates as a bonus to make last year’s salary equal to the honorarium. Item— L 350, Chairman of Public Petitions Committee. —Struck out. Item—Lloo, Clerk (addition to per manent salary, L 400) was debated at length, and struck out, on a division of 39 to 30. The House adjourned 5‘30.

THE ASHBURTON HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 24, 1880.



Co-operative Clergy.—A writer to the Echo, referring to the new Clergy Co operative Stores, wonders if Christianity would have made the wonderful progress it achieved in the first century if St. Paul had set up a big shop in Corinth, to undersell the retail traders of that city, with Titus, Mark, Timothy and Barnabas as directors. Holloway’s Pills. —The extraordinary range of temperature prevailing in our climate is extremely frying to the delicate-chested, the weak and nervous. All troubled by these afflictions should resolve to resort to the strengthening and i egulating medicine immedi ately they perceive in themselves discomfort of that feeling of restlessness which betokens dis ordered digestion and defective secretion or bile. One of Holloway’s Pills taken about noon and followed at bed-time by a dose suffi ciently large to act apperiently will speedily recruit the faulty functions, and restore order throughout the whole system. A treatment so safe in operation and so successful in result should be known and practised when, from cold and sundry other causes, disease is at tempting to gain a vexatious footing.— Advt. j
