COUNTY ENDOWMENT,

'*• In the discussion on Mr Stevens' motion, that it is expedient that iho House should be informed this session Whether the Government will introduce a measure this session dealing with the subject of endow ment from Crown lands for Counties and Municipalities, as promised last session, Mr Hamlin referred to the interest in the question shewn by the Municipal and Ceunty Conference. The motion would be very little use, because after the Con ferences reported, the Government would have to go into the question sgaiu. There fore he desired to move the adjournment of the debate until the report was received.

Mr Moss said, though only a young mem ber and reluctant to speak, it appeared to him there was some inconsistency in some members, who appeared to think that super intendents had come to the House with unworthy motives, while members of county councils came from motives of the highest character, and if a word was said it was con strued as a slur on them. A great many members in the Bouse represented Counties but he felt himself in a miserable minority representing none. To a certain extent the House was under pressure, lie considered the Attorney-General {did a service in en deavouring to relieve the House from such pressure. As to the merits of the question, he knew that the Borough lie represented applied for an endowment in a part ol the country where laud was of good quality, and were justified by law in doing so. But instead of being allowed to select for themselves the Government took the matter out of their hands. He did not know where the laud was. It might be at the top of Tongariro. No one could tell him tha value of it. He doubted whether it was worth 5s an acre. Last session many boroughs were endowed with valuabie land. The member for Kaiapoi, Mr Boweu, would know of one. Christchurch was in the same position, and so was Egmont. Five Southern corpora tions were richly endowed. Those who came last were worst served. The question was a.large one. They should not come to a hasty decision. He was glad to have the debate adjourned until light was thrown on the matter, and members had time to peruse papers on the table. Mr Russell said lie believed the land which the hon. gentlemen's district had been endeavouring to secure was in Poverty Bay, and some [of [the most fertile in the colony. He was glad this was not handed over to Parnell.

Mr O'Rorke said that last session the Canterbury Boroughs were rightly endowed with the very best lands, as far away as Tiniaru. Why object to Patutahi, while they considered this right ? They charac terised Parnell's action as an outrage. He would be glad if the Attorney-General would turn his attention to booking all those endowments of some preposterously small municipalities which got endowments far beyond their size. He hoped that in future all Boroughs would be treated iv a uniform way. A gross breach of faith had been committed upon the Boroughs of Auckland when they were refused the endowments which they selected, and the promise held out to them under the abolition scheme was not fulfilled. Instead of receiving sub stantial endowments they had been allotted land in districts where he was sorry to say land only realised Is 6d to 2s 6d an acre. •Mr Stout said that where Municipalities had selected land in districts, the people of those districts objected, and where the Government liberally gave two thousand acres endowment to large municipalities, all small boroughs considered themselves entitled to an. equal area. What ought to be done was that when the Government lay out townships they should reserve a certain portion for each township to be given for purposes of public utility, aud certain sections should be reserved for public rises, but to say that all these bodies should be endowed with laud above what had been done, was simply asking for an impossi bility. The Government found that enormous demands were made upon them by Municipalities in the colony. In fact he would not like to say to what extent. Some asked two thousand acres of land worth £15 an acre.

Mr McLean : Where?

Mr Stout : In Shag Valley district. (Laughter). Some ot it had been sold for £17 an acre since. If the Government had given land in Shag Vailey, every acre would have been taken up for Municipali ties. Reference had been made to the Conference sitting. It was to be regretetd that the House could not manage the affairs of the country through representa tives without the interference.of Municipal aud County delegates. In fact it seemed a slur on the House to have conferences sitting Talk about Provincialism. If the provinces had sent up delegates each year tojwatch the House what would have been said ? Provinces were not half so clamorous in their demands as munici palities and counties have been. A needy Treasurer might tell them that by calling public attention to what they have got they may lose what they have. The Govern ment had no such intention ;■ but ho re gretted that Parliament was not left to manage its own business. MrSheehan said he did not intend to refer to matters, but the question -having been raised he would say that committees of the House had frequently been unable to ~cure a quorum owing to the absence ot members at conferences. He would have to ask the llou-e in the course of a day or two whethc.- members of this House should not attend the proper work. He did not object to a conference, but it should take place during the recess, not while the House was setting. The appearance ot these conferences suggested the idea that delegates came to Wellington as much i.for their own pleasure as forwork. He believed these conferences were an invasion of privi leges of the House, Many members ot the House had been called upon to represent local bodies, and thus to join in matters ot which they could not approve. These con ferences were very formidable bodies, and they put unfair pressure upon the Govern ment. If the Government could not carry on the work of the country without having pressure put upon them by these conferences. The sooner they letfc those benches the better. He, had told a few of the delegates to-day, of course not in earnest, but in joke, that there should be some, law similar to ,tne Vagrant Act, dealing with these dele gates. These bodies should recognise tlie fact that the session is not the time to come here, when Ministers required time ex clusively for business, and the time or members was taken up attending these Conferences. If these Conferences had been held two or three months ago, then there would have been some chance of then representations having weight, but for the ■Government to be asked during the session -to consider these large proposals, and deal with them in the House, Avas preposterous. As to the necessity of Miese delegates -coming here, he believed the whole thing might have been accomplished by corres pondence. He could assure delegates, as well as those Avho sent them, that it was a mistake. Mr Saunders regretted the contemptuous way in which Mr Sheehan referred to ttie efforts of local bodies. County Councils were quite as good judges of the proper ■season of the year to protect their interests •as the Government, He did not so much dread excessive zeal as apathy x» local •affaire- ™ni REVISION OF LICENSING ACTo. The "New Zea'.ander" this morning says it is not improbable that the question of revising and consolidating the licensing laws will be left over until next session. . , LOCAL JUDICATE BILL. - The Local Jiulicate Bill provides that a person holding office teu years as Kesident Magistrate may be appointed a Judge or : Hie District Court.

MEETING OF LICENSED VICTUAL LERS.

A LAEGE meeting of the Licensed Victual lers of Auckland was held this afternoon in the* Metropolitan Hotel (Mr Phillips in the chair) for the purpose of considering the action by the brewers in raising the price of colonial beer. - Mr Fer nandez asked who called the meeting ? —Mr Corcoran said the advertise ment was sufficient. The question affected the trade and the public. Mr Fernandez characterised the rise as absurd ; the brewers had raised the beer 2s per gallon, and the publicans could not put on an extra farthing a pint. There were no farthings here, and if the publican charged an extra halfpenny, tho public would call the publican a rogue. The Chairman : It was merely wasting time to do nothing more than talk. He should like ito hear some gentleman address the meet ing, and move a resolution. The question was the action of the brewer, Was it just or unjust ? Mr O'Connor said he considered that the old hands should have been present, but as they were not he would propose " That a Committee ;be formed to wait upon the brewers for an explanation, and call another meeting." A speaker said he understood that Mr Mowbray was to have taken the chair. —A voice : What has Mr Mowbray to; do with it? he' is not" a" publican. Mr Fernandez : He is not a publican, but lie does the best business amongst them. The motion was seconded by Mr Glover. Mr Geo. Miller said the explanation was simple!, The Government had put on three halfpence, and the brewers had put on an extra halfpenny. Mr Little did not ;see why they should wait upon the brewers. He thought the subject to be considered wasthe tax on beer,and he would move as an amend ment, "Thata meeting be called, on Tuesday next, of all those interested in the manu facture and sale of colonial ales, to consider the tax; the Chairman to advertise the meeting." Mr Little said.the object was to get all the trade together.—Mr O'Connor withdrew his motion .in favour of Mr Little, which was unanimously carried.
