a detailed statement. He deprecated dis- CUMr°FitzGerald corroborated Mr Stafford's statement. He showed that the allowance of unusual items, such as useful domestic utensils, was not denied. Mr Bunny challenged the Government to deny that unwarranted furnishings were sup- P Mr Vogel said that to avoid such unplea santness in fatuw the present Governor re auested the amount of his allowances to be distinctly defined. He intended to propose £1150 allowance instead of £1600, which had been always exc-eded. Mr Buckland urged that Lowry Bay be given in fee simple to the Governor He protested against any further expenditure on that swindle. The Chairman reported, and leave was given to bring in a Bill increasing the Governor's salary. The Bill was read a first time. Mr Soall on Musketry. In reply to Mr Wood the Government stated Mr Soall's report on musketry in struction and target practice would be laid on the table. It was sent to Auckland to have the suggestions tested. Mayor of Auckland to be Elective. Mr Sheehan gave notice to bring in a Bill to amend the Corporation Act so as to make the Mayor of AucHand elected by the body of ratepayers. National Bank Bill. The report brought up by the National Bank committee recomiended that the Bill be passed without any alteration. It suggested some clauses to be made applicable to a" banks in the colony. Mr Stafford stated he was instructed to say that the Bank of New Zealand would now withdraw all opposition to the Bil 1. Native Representative* Mr Fox gave notice of a Bill to enable native districts to elect Maori representatives in Provincial Council. Promissory Oaths Bill. The Promissory Oaths Bill was read a first time. It is intended to modify the forms of oaths of aVegriance innatural^ation, etc., and to accept affirmation and generp^y meet conscientious scruples. Assault on Constables. The amendments made : n Council on the Constables' Bill were acceptsd, and the Bill. passed. Timber Floatage Bill. Mr Vogel moved the second re? ling of the timber floatage. He shewed that strong reluctance wf <* felt to dilving with dams to do which power was onrtted from the present Bill. . .

Mr Katene opposed the B" 1 as injuilous to native o-w -lers. If dms were expressly prevented he would not object. Owners of timber should make tramways. He urged to refer the BH to a select con"nittee. Mr Swanson said it was an i#miocent-look ing Bi", but was clearly insidious. The words "or others*,'se" weie intended to include driving, and this power was given as much as in the bill withcira^ a, He urged that a select connpittee be appointed to find full evidence on the effect of "driving" logs. Mr Mm ray urged a select conmittee. Dangerous powers were intended. The House had no right to take away rights purchased by settles pnd confer them on those not yet acquired. Mr Atkinson would oppose the BiH muess referred to a select committee. It went further than the Bi'l withdrawn.' It insidiously gave powers dangerous to neighbours. It was wrong to give persons often men of straw, the right to deluge the property of others, with only power to sue for damages. It would prevent any set tlement on creeks vnd rivers. The bill was intended to meet a single case 5n Auckland, the subject of long litigation. He urged a select committee in,, accordance' with the recommendation of the PubKc Petitions Com mittee. Mr Vogel strongly pressed the second read ing. He denied that the bill gave power of driving. Members generally resisting, Mr Vogel conceded a select committee on condition that the second reading should be passed. The Bi". was read a second time and re ferred to a select committee.
