strongly like himself, and who might pos sibly give the prisoner 12 months, just because~he happened to be..represented:;by'a- Barton. He asked the committee not to Increase the powers given to Judges to decide matters without the intervention of juries. They would not catch rogues with such clauses. These rogues know how to keep books so as to escape law. It was the poor man who was caught. Mr Macfarlane said what was the use of Mr Barton (who objected to this clause) speaking of the hardship of one clause, when, under the present law, a man could be imprisoned for a month for from 10 to 9 pounds. The clause was framed to, catch the scheming rogue, the posr man being expressly exempt. He would be one to work for the entire abolition of imprison ment for debt. Mr Swanson, replying to an argument of Barton's, said as to creditors being able to come and swear against a debtor so as to get him into gaol he (Mr Swanson), would be able to produce his books and say, " There you are; be even against them if you can, and get yourself into gaol instead of me." Talk about juries. If Mr Barton's speech was a specimen, he must be in the habit of^ addressing juries of very average intel lect. Mr Barton : I am sorry to hear the hem. member insult juries. Mr Swanson : I said juries of average intellect, and I think there must be many of that kind. I do not like to hear Mr Macfarlaue spoken of in this way, as if he were a small man, when he has been in the habit of passing many thousands of pounds through his hand. Men are not sent to eaol for debt, but for coniompt of Court. Big fish go scot free, hut little fish are caught. Prom the manner in which Mr Barton talked of juries he must have had some disagreeable experience of them. With regard to the Judge of Auckland, lie had "been as fair and honest as human nature could be. He (Mr Swanson) once resisted the passage of an insolvent through a Court, aud did so because the man, owing only £30, had a £100 in his pocket, and re fused to pay. He had been trading 40 years and never saw a creditor's meeting where they were hard and cruel, though he had read a good deal about it in romances. Creditors generally, were only too anxious to get what they could. Tqey would take almost nothing rather than let an estate go into the hands of the lawyers, because in such case they knew there would be very little left, (Laughter.) (At this stage Mi- Barton began to scratch his head, andlooked very uncomfortable.) No estate in which ■he (Mr Swanson) had been interested ever yielded more than 10s in the £, and some not that. He thought a suspension of certifi cate would be better than putting a man into gaol to break stones. Mr Stout said he would suggest, as an amendment, " That power be given to the Court to suspend a certificate where the debtor failed to keep book?." : Mr Macfarlane withdrew his amendment. He thought it would be going too far, in the present state of education, to make negligence to keep books criminal. The amendment he agreed to move was, " That every person who shall remain in possession of any debtor's estate, ?which, by law, has become vested in a trustee, shall be deemed a bailee." His objection was to make the person punishable as a bailee, under the Larceny Act. The Attorney-General suggested that the amendment should be postponed until Tuesday next, when the Bill would again come on for discussion.

Mr Macfarlane acquiesced. The Bill was reported, with amendments

THE ELECTORAL BILL

In moving the second reading of the Electoral Biil, Mr Stout claimed for it the character of a consolidating measure. He reviewed the provisions of the Bill, point ing out that the form of nomination was different, that rolls would be made up twice a year, and the use of cabs would be pro hibited, and public houses closed on polling day, many evil practices having arisen from these causes in connection with elec tions. . Information supplied by the Registrar General showed that not more than, a third of the eligible population were on the roll, and by the new Bill, this would be changed.. The Government would bring in a measure for redistribution of seats next session in order that the elections might take place under the new rolls. He con sidered that every intelligent and creditable colonist should have a vote. He did not approve of Hare's system because it would produce a large number of men of diverse opinions, rendering Parliamentary Govern ment impossible. Combination and co-, operation were necessary to political reform. The success of the Conference organisation was proof of this maxim. He claimed that the Government bill would produce repre sentatives of political aggregates, in conson ance of the basis of Parliamentary Govern ment whichrestedon the powreof majorities. Hare's system, on the other hand, •! would fill Parliament wivh cliques. The bill he submitted would educate the people gradually and fit them for greater reforms. He did not believe in sudden jumps. He proceeded to rebut the idea that there was any danger in the proposed extension ot the franchise, and maintained that it was inevitable. It had been said that it did not provide manhood suffrage, but _ what man he asked but a newly-arrived immi grant was excluded from the franchise.;) On. the subject of female suffrage he thought Dr. Wallis went too far just yet. The G overnment bill gave women who are rate payers votes He believed that the parti cipation of women in elections would make these events: more orderly;- The special Maori representation in the House would perhaps be increased. , ;, ' . , Mr Whitakei-" said he would attempt to reply to the observations made by Mr Stout on the Electoral Bill. He did not intend to oppose the second readme but wished that both Bills should be read a second time, and referred to a Select Committee. His Bill, however, was not ready. He did not intend going into an explanation of the principles of his Bill, which would be better understood when perused in full. Jie would confine himself to a few. observa tions on the Bill of the Attorney-General. It appeared to him open ta a number of vary seriour objections. He objected first of all to what it does; second to what it does not do. So far as he gathered^from the general opinion the bill wasJ mades up from a number of minds. It did things half and half, not thoroughly. The eighteenth clause, qualification of electors,-contained a cumbrous machinery which might be sim plified He could not uudersland why it cut off the leaseholder [A hon. member : He is a' ratepayers-Mr Whittaker rNot necessarily. The difference between town and country qualification would limit ,_ the franchise. The Attorney-General said there were not 500 people iv the colony who would not have votes. That seemed to him an argument for abolishing those com plicated qualifications, with expensive machinery and costly appeals to the Supreme Court If they had simply fthe residential franchise, which he would advocate, every one would understand it. He considered the residential qualification in, this Bill unnecessary. What was the iise ot exempting' these 500 men it it entailed ali this complicated and extensive machinery present system of registration was com plicated. If they reduce the franchise that would be simplified. The present system of registration resulted in stuffing the rolls with the names of people which should not be there. If members study his bill they would find it satisfactory—not too com plicated, and inexpensive. He thought, in framing measures of this character they should have a complete code—all parts dove tailings • Now they had one . • bill for Europeans,-and another for natives. Mr SSout : had: said that the re-adjust ment of representation wouW; entail £t dissolution. He (Mr ;Whitaker),didvnoS See that such must follow. He had; been quite ashamed -at the scenes he- had 'wit nessed in the House when representation *was being altered. His system_yP»W:pre vent their recurrence. In Mr' Stouts Act 1 native- elections were ,notv^prc vided for. 'Re had said they should have representation which would compare nu

merically with our own. But their repre sentation should not interfere with :mffs."~~—NaTi^ an equality with ourselves. At present they really had two votes, and '.-Europeans had no voice in native .elections. It did not appear to , him ; . that the representation.of minorities was essentially part; of; every perfect constitution. He sustained the three-comer systemof voting where three members were elected for constituency, and electors could ' only vote for two, and i also to cumulative voting under the education system. He would,; show on Wednesday that these were inadequate. In one clause a freeholder might be marksman, and in another, where he claimed under the residential qualification, his sign manual was necessary. He was not quite sure that the qualification might not Be confined to educational and residential. His pbject to-night was simply to direct attention to this matter. He was^very desirous that the subject should be considered entirely apart from party 'views., (Loud hear, hears.) One or two clauses In the Act he could not understand. If the measures were re legated to a committee they would be prepared to endeavour to make a good bill without reference to party. .He approved of many of the Government proposals, and would support them. His only object was to make a really good measure. Mr Joyce condemned , the Government measure as cumbrous. It should have em bodied manhood suffrage. He condemned the system of numbering ballot papers, which violated the secrecy of the ballot Closing public-houses would be ineffectual, as people would have liquor. Manhood suffrage in the form of miner's rights had been in trial in this colony, and had an swered well. It would be safe to have electo's rights. A man would be furnished with a right at the beginuing of the year, and possess a voto for six months after wards. The photograph of votes might be kept as a check upon personation. Mr De Latour spoke in favour of the bill. When the House resumed at eleven, Mr Wason, in mournful accents, referred to the decline of party spirit in the House. He accused Ministers of raising phantoms in order to knock them down. Ministers, who were put in by Radicals and Tories, were now assuming the role of Conservatives. p> Mr Wakefield said the Premier could not have introduced the present Electoral Bill with any show of decency, as it entirely differed from the principle of manhood suffrage, and on the basis which the Premier constantly advocated during the recess. This Bill conserved the rich man's rights, giving plurality of votes on property in different districts. The Attorney-General sneered at those who were terrified by man hood suffrage, but Ministers had themselves been itinerating through the country terrifying people with manhood suffrage, any now they came down with a modified scheme to allay the alarm they themselves had created. .Ministers had neither terrified him during the recess, nor did they satisfy him now; If no one would introduce a clause in favour, of manhood suffrage he would do so himself. { In some electoral dis tricts absentees outnumbered the whole body of resident electors. There were dis tricts in which absent electors could come* down and elect whom they choose against the unanimous voice of every male elector resident in tlie district. :, ' ' ! '

The Attorney-General : " No."

MrWakefielil continued : He could men tion nine districts in which the population was 1,100 and there were also 1,700 non electors. He claimed the support of the Premier in favour of manhood suffrage, and could not understand why he had so far allowed his views on the subject to suffer him to be completely led into thick ground by his colleagues. He (Mr Wakefield) had pledged his faith to the Premier on the faith of his carrying out certain declared principles on which he would now pin the Premier. If Ministers would bring a down measure with manhood suffrage they would relieve that feeling of distrust which was already engendered as to their sincerity, owing to their practice being so different from principles which the formerly avowed.

SPEECH BY MR MOSS. .;. Mr Moss followed Mr "Wakefield in an excellent speech, ably delivered, and full of deep thought. Mr Moss is evidently des tined to make an early inark^ in colonial politics. He said he sympathised with some views of the last speaker ; he did not think it right that any person should have more than one rote, but if they gave manhood suffrage, the privilege must be extented to Maoris, which would not be expedient at present, though it. would be the duty of Par liament to place them on a footing with European when the native difficulty was completely ended, and the country opened. He referred in amusing terms to the present political position. The lion had lain down with the lamb, and a fox, was amongst them.' (Laughter and cheers). They knew that in hunting, the scent was some times destroyed by drawing a herring across it. The Bill of the member for Waikatp was a herring drawn across the scent. If the Government Bill was unsatis factory,, the proper course was to move 'ah amendment. The great argument adduced in favour of Mr Whitaker's bill was ils simplicity, but civilized political machi nery wus always more or less complicated, while nations with simple laws were bar barians. The absence of registration system in America was acknowledged by Americans to be a great blot upon their' political system. They might, in this country, under a system of manhood suffrage, have men who would be tools of wealthy and powerful classes. JNew Zealand had been a demo cracyj the only form of government suitable to the colony was democracy. He would ;vote for registration clauses. In the interests of democracy he would oppose manhood suf frage. -The qualification of two years' resi dence was a safeguard against abuses which might debase the suffrage and make it an injury instead of a gain* He did not sup pose that the bill represented the Premier's views. It was a bill of the Government, and represented a variety of views. The: reforms could not be-settled at once. The true Conservative party in the House was the democratic paity seeking a Conserva tive constitution. Another party claimed to be Conservative, but had for twenty years devoted itself to undermining the constitu tion, seeking to cripple provincial govorn ment, and when they succeeded they taunted it with weakness. These were true revolutionists. He did not see why the bill for redistribution of registration should not be brought down this session if based on population. It need not come into force until the next general election. Hare's system was deficient in flesh and blood. It would absolutely kill political life. One struggle attendant on being in the minority caused political activity; The end caused men to force themselves to the top. If they had Hare's system they would have in the House secularism, :denomina tionalism, and- a party who, like Mr Fox, would pour upon us a second deluge of cold water. (Great laughter,) Hare's system, however, might be adapted to local .government and smaller bodies.; Some think social life and political life two differ ent worlds, and some think they are identi cal. Some thought social leaders should be political leaders. He held that the political world was one which should be free, and in which they should know no distinction?. There should be perfect equality. He might be considered visionary, but looked forward to the day when they should regard any attempt by men of wealth and I power to coerce those who have neither, as abuse. He regarded the bill as a step in the right -direction, and would support it. He concluded a'aidst cheers. . At 11.40 Sir George Grey movedthe adjournment of the debate until Tuesday, and the House rose. ; 3 , , !;i KAIPARA RAILWAYS.•/;.'.,,%:■ Mr Blair, frbmOtagd, goes up to survey the Kaipara lines.

Two butchers were charged at the Police Court with exposing for sale a quantity of unsound beef unfit for human food, .brom the evidence, it appeared that the meat was sent from Auckland..

The meat, which weighs above 15 cwt., was ordered to be destroyed. ;&*$ THE BEER DUTY. At a meeting of the publicans yesterday, The following resolution was carried, and ordered to be telegraped to Sir George Grey and Mr Rowe :—" That this meeting views with disfavour the attempt of the legislature to impose a tax upon any home manufac tured arlicle, considering the same ininueal. to the best interests of colonists, aud opposed to the principles of protection which|should be extended to such industries. That the tax falls heavily upon the work ing classes, who will be called upon to pay an increased price, or accept an article in ferior in manufacture. That the proposed reduction in the tax on sugar isno equivalent to the tax on home manufactured beer, ar>d will not therefore compensate manufacturer or dealer. That this meeting regards the imposition of the tax as contrary to the professions of sympathy with a class already over taxed, and urges its representatives to use their utmost endeavours to prevent same becoming law." ■ .

THEATRE ROYAL.

" Belphegoe, the Montebank" was re peated at the Theatre last night, and ran very smoothly. Mr Dillon's representation of the title role struck us as far superior to either his Hamlet or Othello, in fact, it is a carefully studied performance of consider able merit. Mrs Walter Hill showed to great advantage as Madeline, and Miss Pender was a good Henri. To-night "The Devil in Paris," or " Spadra the Satirist," and " Don Caesar de Bazan" from the bill of fare. In the firstnamed piece Mr Dillon plays a highly original character of a senti mental nature, and in the second he .under takes the arduous role of Don Caesar deßasan. Both parts are said to suit him admirably. The famous play of "Forsaken" is in pre paration, and will be magnificently moun ted.
