They proposed only to enable natives to deal with lands in such districts as it was desir able they should do so. Again it was pro posed that Ministers should stop land tran sactions between natives and Europeans whenever they pleased It was a very im proper proposal that the salaries of Judges should be voted annually, and so keep them subordinate to any political party. The whole pobcy of the Govern ■ j n regard to native lands Should have been brought down in one Bill instead of three. He considered that the present Bill would cause a reversion to the worst form of personal Government. No member, if these Bills were passed, pos sessed of a less thorough acquaintance with native matters and less influence with natives than Mr McLean would be able to occupythepositjor .ofNafave Minister Mr Gillies said that after the rebuke ad ministered the other night by Mr Hunter— who believed there was but one Maori atUa, the Native Minister—and the general senti ment which pervaded the House on the occa sion of the discussion on native reserves, he felt it would be regarded as presumptuous in him to express any opinion on the subject, especially as he intended to speak favorably of it. He thought it was an excellent pro vision that the requirements of natives should be ascertained and reserves set aside. It was right also that the Government should take surveys into their own hands. He disagreed with Mr Rolleston in the opinion expressed as to the status of the judges, and did not think they were to hav>> the position of Supremo Court Judges, but rather Judges in a com mission o; enquiry. It was the duty of the judges to listen to all outside information. Judges Maning and Rogan, who had acted on that principle, had been more successful than the., other judges. He was obliged to the Native Minister for having accepted some of the amendments he had suggested. The only part of the Bill which he thoroughly disagreed with was that permitting the interference of the Government with the judges. The object of establishing a court in the first instance, was to put a barrier between the natives and the Government, to let the natives feel that the tribunal to which they could come was not liable to be swayed by political influence. It was im portant that the independence of the Courts should be maintained. The power of sus pending the action of the Native Lands Court ° was not a new provision. It was embodied in Acts. This bill went further than former ones, as it enabled the Government to stay proceed ings in the Court at any stage, and by tele gram if necessary. This was a dangerous provision. The power if made use of would destroy the confidence of the natives in the Land Courts. He regretted the proclama tion issued suspending the action of the Court in the central and Southern districts of Auckland province. It wa3 repeating tho mistake of a former Government in appoint ing an East Coast Titles Investigation Com mission, which had not settled any titles to this day. Though he disagreed on this point he would support the second .reading. Mr Takamoana approved of much that Mr McLean had said in support of the Bill. As *o his remarks on setting apart land he said + hey were not clear. If the action of the Bill W Jre retrospective he would support it entirely. He was in great trouble in regard to lands already dealt with by the Court. The administration of the East Coast Titles commission had also been most unsatisfactory. The Government were forcing the land through the Court too quickly. He approved of Mr McLean's policy generally. He had been with him in his dealings, and he did not approve of what had been done. The Native Minister said one thing now, but another would be done. He objected to the . Mr Fitzherbert generally approved of the bill but thought it went too far with excep tional legislation. He regretted the legisla tion of 1862. It was undesirable that so much waste land should be retained for natives. There were lying waste fifty acres for every man, woman, and child. He objected. to Clause 88, exempting native lands from provincial laws, amounting probably to twenty million acres. Sir C. Wilson thought it preposterous that native lands should be improved at the cost of neighbours. Mr Parata supported the Bill. Me ap proved of setting apart certain portions of land for the hapu and the rest for sale. Mr Wood cordially supported the Bill. He trusted the Government would take care, that native lands were not under provincial | Mr Sheehan was very glad to hear that j the bill has been altered in conformity with the advice of Judge Richmond, based on experiences obtained while sitting on the Native Lands Alienation Com mission in Hawkesßay. He had been largely concerned in that enquiry, and had endea vored so to direct it that it might be made use of to the House in forming^ new Lands Act When he considered tne amount of injustice and oppression which the natives in Hawke's Bay had suffered owing to the operation of the Lands Court he thought it Bwas wondertul that the peace of the country had been main tained. Immense and valuable blocks of land had been sold, the money being all obtained by a few people, and immediately spent by them. In the case of the largest and most valuable blocks sold in Hawke s Bay the natives passed it throHgh the Court on the faith of the state ment by the Judge of the Land Court, that no one grantee could sell with out the consent of the rest, which turned out entirely fallacious. He himself had been accused of high crimes[and meanours for having told the natives that the native land laws were bad laws.' The fact was that they were so bad that he believed now a spark would be sufficient to kindle a fresh native war. He thought an alteration of the old Act was urgently needed. Ihis proposed measure was a great improvement. Mr Sheehan then proceeded to review the past legislation, and the provisions proposed to the bill in the ablest and most effective speech of the session. His speech was com- Srehensive, exhaustive, and eloquent and was stbned to from beginning to end with most marked attention by every member in the the House, and was followed by prolonged applause. ~ Mr McLean replied. The bill was then read a second time. The House rose at midnight. The Timber Floatage. The Committee appointed to consider the Timber Floatage Bill sat to-day. Before taking evidence they resolved that it would not recommend tho use of dams for driving. The evidence of Mr C. A. Harris first was received, and the committe adjourned till Thursday. »

HARBOUR BOARD.

The fortnightly meeting of the Harbour Board was held this afternoon, Captain Daldy P1 In a letter from the Deputy-Superintendent Mr Stewart's election as a member of the Board was declared invalid owing to the change of the name of the Dedwood district to Pohsonby. ~ ■ THE NEW DOCK, Mr Philips swd he had fl«?n in the papers

letters which implied that a gigantic job was bein;j perpetrated by the Board in the matter of the dry dock. He wished to hear the Chairman make a statement as to whether the Board had not been induced by the opinion of competent men to come to their decision on the matter.

The Chairman* said the Board were per fectly borne out in their plan by the opinion of many good judges, and. that to make no mistake it had been determined to take the opinion one of the best marine engineers in the Australian colonies, who was shortly to visit Auckland, beforejany money was ex pended on the scheme.
