PARLIAMENTARY.

(FBOM OUR SPECIAL REPORTER.

WELLINGTON, this day. A MOVEMENT IN THE LOBBIES. THE lobbies are getting more lively, and there is a genuine belief that something is brewing among the Middle Party. There is great dissatisfaction. The Government Save lost all control over the House, and are only kept in by the extreme anti- Greyites, who are getting tired of the posi tion. It is well understood now that Sir George Grey will not take office. He feels he can do more good when untrammelled. No one believes in the Government scheme of Local Government, and opinion is much divided as to Sir George Grey's and Mr Sheehan's motions. The Liberal Party ap prove unanimously of the principle of per fect self-government embodied in Sir Geo. Grey,'s.billj but many object to the details as insufficient to carry the principle into < effect.

The debate to-moirow night is looked forward to with much interest.

The Road Construction Board, practically adding three paid members to the Ministry, is certain to be rejected. The .Representation Bill will also pro bably be dropped owing to a feeling against the increase of members.

Sir George will stick to his bill, but sup port Mr Sheehan, who will probably have from 30 to 34 votes for his bill.

RUMOURED COMBINATION,

A rumour is current and credited that the Middle Party will oppose the second reading of the Koads Construction Bill, and be joined by Sir George Grey and his party so as to force a settlement ot the general question of Local Government.

THE PKOVINCIAL RESOLUTIONS.

Mr Beetham, the Government whip, has just informed me that it is definitely fixed to take|the debate|on Mr Sheehan's Abolition of Provinces Question at 7.30 this evening. It is: evident from this that the Government think they have the best of it. -

EBQUAL ELECTORAL RIGHTS,

The following is the full test of Sir George Grey's Equal Electoral' Rights Bill :—" Ah Act to provide -that in any general or: other election of members of the House of Representatives, each elector shall be entitled. to vote ...in...respect of one electorate only/'.;'Be, it enacted by the General Assembly of :New. Zealand. ...in .Parliament . assembled, and by authority,,, of, the same as follows :—(1) The shbrt'title of this Act is The Equal Electoral Rights Act, 1881. (2) From and after the passing of this Act, no elector shall, I ait any: general 'or other election of members: of , fhe' House, of Representatives, vote: in respect of' more than one electorate. ': ' ...

PROPOSAL FOR FREE' CON ■/;, a:i : ■ FERENCE. i.v ■■■--■' ■

Mr, Moss intends to. move for a-free - con-, ferehce of. Representatives from each pro vince to settle the conflicting views ;on Local and General Government, on the ground that the settlement of the question is urgent, and there is no prospect or agree ment while it is made subordinate to party considerations. I hear that the motion has been submitted to the party, but Sir Geo. Grey and others object till the present motions before the House are disposed of. WANT-QF-CONFIDENCE MOTION.

The latest position is this the Govern ment intend taking Mr Sheehan's Abolition Repeal Bill as a want of confidence motion, and forcing the debate upon it as soon as possible. G reat dissatisfaction is.expressed at this,' as they professed to regard Local Government as an ■ open question, and M-Ss"-^';-Holieston and Dick ate. avowed prpyinciblis'-S. Mr Sheehan is working in thorougkaccord with his own party. '■■■■ -■■'• An Opposition member gives this, view of "the -position, ".' The Government, are supposed to rely on the disinclination of many-who voted for' abolition to vote now against it; and by this means to .defeat Mr Sheehan's Bill.and ,by Vrefleotipn . stop Sir Gepi-ge's,. 'Bill, then ■to take; advan tage., of ..the • confusion, court''defeat, _.et'::a'* dissolution and go to,the country as. having been {obstructed by the Opposition. They are helpless and without -any-policy-of their own,'aud rely entirely on" Parliamentary., tactics to hold their place

PUBLIC WORKS ACTS. ■"^'*;.J The Statutes Revision Commissioners have. sentan .he Public Works Consolidation Bill, which - consolidates and amends five Acts relating ' to. public works. The main amendments suggested! are — (1) •Power, given: to.the Governor to take native lands fori;Goi*ernment works, and this .pb'-jrer. revives enactment which previously existed;; Bya.tho_._i_-- passed in 1864, n provision „'„„„«„ ounf'nug^-naiive™ia_aas' or any teDm-el1'.t0.. "be taken fpr.the purposes of public,works upon payment, of compensa tion. This Act was repealed by the Public Works-'-Act, "1876 ; but experience has shp^-yn that its,provisions are not adapted to ca.es which-frequently arise, and where it is desired to commence a work through native land!.' without loss of, time.' (2) .In respect of road works in sparsely-peopled districts, and where ; land has not been and cannot be immediately, surveyed; power has been given in, enabling the Governor lo pro claim the general direction- and termine of __. road; theuto proceed with the work.''Th'e< objeot is to i enable a: work to be vigorously prosecuted man unsettled district, and where the state of the survey |. not such as to all the prescribed formalities to be observed prior to taking the land required for the toad., „_3). The, Railways .Regulation.and Inspection' Act, * 1-73. is a-general 'meiui-re. applicable to all railways and tramways, but has been incorporated 'in this .bill. The, tftfrer; amendments are .'chiefly of a •formal character, and: intended to remedy defects>. which : experience has shown' to exist in working the present Acts. . Nearly all "these1 amendments have'been suggested by various,, .departmental officers,.', who tare concerned .with' the: nomination of public works.''-.'With1 regard; to. the;'.:,Phbllc' Works, Cbmmissioner. : it.,is ; sUjggested ..to be more convenient In , future: : that particular works requiring legislative anthority be-sanctioned by special "enact ment, and that , the Public Works Act be left as a piece of legislative machinery, 4o be incorporated in any Act1 requiring its aid.- -Ihey further Bay that every session *here should be a Public Works Construe iion.Actand Local Public Works Construc tion Act, The text of such Acts would be devoted, to, formal provisions, and I Special powers when necessary being conferred by appropriate clauses in a schedule. ■ Such enactments would tend to an uniformity in legislation which does not now prevail.

A SINGULAR ARREST.

A Fijian was brought yesterday from Mercury Bay by Constable Kelly, and was charged this morning at the Police Court, before Dr. Hovell and Mr Tieruey, with stealing a watch from a man named Wilson, alias Colbeck, who also arrived yesterday with Kelly. The Fijian was sentenced to three months ha rd labour. Wilson, alias Colbeck, appears to have been recognised by Kelly as a man who is suspected of committing an indecent assault on a little girl in the Western Park, Auckland, last May, and was consequently arrested and sent to Auckland.

She: had resided in the /Waikato "country for a long time, and, had filled Beveralsituationßinprivatehouses with satis faction, never having been dismissed from service.

In January last report was cir culated that she had had a miscarriage, and in-consequence of it a contract of marriage between Jher and a man named William Allen was broken off ,j« _•.!i i*. i :n Jane Crawford, the plaintiff, was the first witness called..

The defendant said that a Mr Cunning had told him that the girl had left witness'sservice in order to have a miscarriage. Witness replied that he did not believe it as had it been the fact hi. mother-in-law or wife would have noticed her condition and told her of it. Tne defendant repeated the statement, and witness again stated his disbelief of it. The defendant then remarked that Mr Cunning was not a man likely to make a mistake, and witness once more discredited the report, saying that the girl had left his service simply because she had been recom mended by thejdector to seek a respite from work, as she had been suffering from bleed ing at the nose. To Mr Laishley : He was not mistaken as to where the conversation took place. He told the report to his wife, she to her mother, and this lady to the cook at the defendant's hotel. ■

To the Judge : He had never heard any thing against the plaintiff's character as a virtuous girl until this slander circulated.
