(FBOM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPON-

WELLINGTON.

LENTJ

This day.

Land Jobbery The Government will not be permitted to quietly shelve discussion upon their land jobbing with members ef the House. In no previous session has such broad charges of cor ruption been made and when the Tairua and Ohinemuri inquiries are made public it.'will be see n that the ramifications of Government delinquency are more involved and intricate then would at first appear. But the effect 0 f all this has been to give the Go vernment a large and servile following prepared to pass anything submitted to them, and if they should succeed inforcing the Abolition Bill, the hope of the radical reform so much required will be rendered more difficult to effect even at a general election. Mr. Rolleston again moved, yester day, in the matter of the members receiving Government money and special Government favours in the form of land. He said as the Government had taken no steps to clear themselves, he would move that the land transactions with members be referred to a special committee. Sir Donald McLean, who on every occasion professes the utmost readiness to facilitate discussion and investigation, but whose pro posals, somehow—quite unintentionally, of course—have the effect of burking it, said the Government would support the motion. After some remarks from Mr Sheehan upon the undesirability of such grave matters as this hanging over the heads of members, and from Mr T. Kelly, the motion was agreed to. The next fight will probably be over the constitution of the committee, a very material consideration, and upon which you will re member the Government succeeded in burking the inquiry into the illegal sale of confiscated lands before, by bringing down a committee of seven fast Government supporters against three Opposition.

Mr. W. Buckland, at a later stage of the proceedings, proposed a motion requiring the Government to table a return shewing the transactions between the Government and members for the last seven years, which was agreed to. The Surveyor-General.

A long discussion arose upon the question of appointing a Surveyor-General for the colony. It was raised by Mr. Wales, who has Mr. Thomson, of Otago, in his eye for the post if an appointment is to be made. In reality, the ■whole question rests upon the rumours current some time ago, and which found their way into the Press that Major Palmer, R.E., who had charge of the Transit of Venus observation party in New Zealand, had received the promise of an appointment to the Surveyor-Generalship. While in the colony, the Government employed him to report on the provincial surveys, and the result was a report making a very sweeping condemnation of the way in which the surveys have been carried out hitherto. The speakers yesterday were chiefly Otago members. Incidentally tbe appointments of Conservator of Forests and Inspector of Asylums were referred to, and the principle of going outside the colony and makiDg appointments was generally con demned. Major Atkinson denied most positively that the Government had eitheT appointed Major Palmer or held out any prospect whatever to him of such an appointment beiDg granted. Upon this assurance Mr Wales consented to accept an amendment suggested by Mr Murray—"That in the event of such an appointment being made, the preference should be given to a gentleman with experience in the colony, all other things being equal." Jhe Auckland Provincial Council. Mr bheehan took Bteps to have put to the proof the statement repeatedly made by the Government that Sir George Grey had com pelled the Provincial Council to eat its reso lution in relation to Abolition and the control of the police. He moved for the pro duction of a copy of the motions with a view to opening up the question. w G" ¥ ay also said that the full facts were known it would be seen that none of the members had stultified themselves. IT i a«a and Napier Road. upon Mr Kelly's motion that this road be widened by the Native Contingent and A.C., bir Donald McLean said steps with that ob ect would be taken as soon as native diffi culties could be arranged.

(Per Press Telegram Agency.)

Members Land Jobbing.

Mr Bolleston asked leave to move for a Sel est Committee to inquire into certain trans actions in land with the Government during the present session by certain members of the Legislature, to ascertain whether these per sons bad not brought themselves within the operation of the Disqualification Act. The hon. gentleman referred to certain allegations made in the House with regard to the leasing of certain lands at the foot of the Buapeka mountains to a gentleman who was a member of the House last session, and also to the land transactions with the Govern ment admitted to by Mr W. Buckland. In the former case, the Government was not actually in a position to hand over the land. The agreement in this case was the most ex traordinary document he ever saw, and en tirely outside the law. With regard to the Piako Swamp transaction, it was not too much to say that two members of the Upper House (James Williamson and C. J. Taylor) were interested. It was tolerably clear that the Government were trafficking inland with the members of the Legislature regardless of the lav/.

, Sir Dons id McLean said he twice told the hon._ gentleman he could not get the final opinion of the Solicitor-General until all the Papers relating to these transactions were in Aw hands, and some of these documents SFV« Tan P°' To the appointment of a '5? i- X ommittee ' the Government had not Me slightest objection, and-would give every assistance in their power in the matter. The ,m. gentleman ought to know that in the *p* vf.Wi to, at the base of the Raupeka *a'\ Vtlie Goyernment had stepped] in th -wS__ — h thoße *ands for the futllre ÜBe of _5« P/ an<*> although upon certain con- TkTls^ 011 were absolntely necessary. l««jy i l^ also secured other large, tracts of «h4 for settlement, for. the benefit of the conntry m the samejway. k fir. T.. Kelly said it^was not right to ™mg such an important motion before the aww without notice. A* fa Mhe Ml ad

gather, from the motion of the hon. member, it appeared to him that a stop ought to be put to the purchase of native lands in the JNorth Island. With the establishment of the public works policy the Government should have put a stop at once to direct purchase.

Mr. Sheehan was glad a Select Committee was going to be appointed. It would not do to allow these imputations to hang over the heads of members of the Legislature. There were several of these land transactions which were decidedly illegal and should have been prevented by the Government. Take the case of the Ohinemutu purchase, where the promoters got the late member forKaiapoito serve for them. The Hauraki purchase was amther case in point. Mr Rolleston said it mattered not how much a country was benefitted by certain transactions ; no country could obtain any substantial benefit by illegal transactions, such as those referred to decidedly were. The resolution was agreed to, - and notice given of the names of the committee.

LAST NIGHT.

Confiscated. Lands.

The interrupted debate on the Piako Swamp Sale was resumed last night.—Mr. Sheehan objected to the construction of the committee appointed to enquire into the transaction, and moved it be referred to the Tairua Committee.

The Hon. Mr Atkinson refused, as the Tairua committee had as much as they could well do this session and the Government did not want these charges hanging over their heads. If desired he would reconstruct the present committee or appoint a new one. Mr Reeves said that the present Commit tee could not possibly give their decision. (Oh, oh.) There were too many supporters of Government on it.

Mr Richardson said any committee of the House should report fairly.

Mr Cuthbertson complained of Sir George Grey flinging charges broadcast, and then de clining to serve upon the Committee. This was not wise, as the honor of the House de manded that the question should be fully probed.

Mr Stout said it was a was^e of time for the Committee to inquire at all. Did not the Native Minister tell them he did not care whether the transaction was legal or not ? It was just equitable and expedient in the in terests of the country.

Sir George Grey commented on the compo sition of the Committee, as having by far too many Government supporters and said he should have been consulted on the matter. He condemned the Piako sale. The Government should have made a real through the swamp, and then sold land to bona fide settlers.

This drew forth a long explanation from S'r Donald McLern, and a vigorous defence of the action of the Government in respect to that and other land transactions concerning, which allegationsjof improper dealings had ben levelled against the. Government. They had a?ted illegally only so far as that accord ing to law, their acts required validat ing by an order in Council. ' The Gov ernment had full power under the Act of 1566 to do what they had done. The Piako Swamp sale was fair and legal, and in the interests of the people, and for his part he considered the road made through it of more value than the land itself. As regarded what tbe member for Caveraham said, he repeated that all the Government did was right and equitable, and with a view to pro mote settlement. It was unfair to make these charges until it was known that they were true.

Mr Russell's credentials were ordered to be laid on the table, also a return of all allow ances to agents of the colony at home since June, 1874.

Major Atkinson informed the House that Mr. Russell was not a paid agent of the colony.

A long discussion took place on the motion of Mr. Gibbs, that restrictions placed by the Arms Act, ISCO should be relaxed, at least so far as the Middle Island was concerned.

Several having spoken for and against the motion, it was withdrawn at the request of the Native Minister, who promised to see that a modification in the working of the Act should take place, so as to remove those annoyances complained of in the Middle Island.

The House adjourned at 1035.

August 28. Since the departure of the Hero little of interest has arisen.

The Senior Officer of the Naval Station has received a telegram from the Admiralty stating that the Queen desired to express sympathy with Mrs Goodenough. The Hawkesbury races came off on Wed nesday and Thursday. The following are the results of the prin cipal races :— HAWKESBURY GUINEAS. G. Hill's Valetta colt 1 W. Branch's Richmond 2 E.

A great deal of time was cut to waste before the flag went down to what would have been a tolerably good start had not Nea and St Heliers been left at the post. The colours of King of the West, Kingfisher, and The Star were the first to show, and Golds brough was seen at the other end of the ruck. The Star taking advantage of his light weight, led round the bend and into the straight closely followed by King of the West, Kingfisher, and West Australian. The Star led King of tbr|Weat a length past the stand, with Kingfisher on his quarter, and closely waited upon by Ladybird and West Australian, after whom succeeded Goldsbrough, Benjiroo, and Calumny. The Star and King of the West with a little more than a length between them, continued to force the the pace to the back of the course and along to the gate turn, where The Star retired, and Ladybird ran into second place, having Kingfisher at her girths. King of the West was the first to land in the straight, but Ladybird and Kingfisher were hard upon him, and Calumny and Goldsbrough were coming fast, and Benjiroo' and Sweetbriar began to improve their positior*. The two first-mentioned were on terms at the distance wbereKingof the West canoned against Lady bird,|and for a moment Kingfisher lookedlike winning, but Calumny creeping up against the rails, caught them ten lengths from home and won a wonderfully fast race by about a length, Ladybird beat Kingfisher by a head for second, and the same|distance separated Kingfisher from King of the West; Sweet briar was fifth, two or three lengths away, and then followed Goldsbrough, Benjiro, and the Star.
