House of Representatives.

FRIDAY.

Ihe raroels JPost,

At the afternoon sitting, Mr Hobbs asked I the Postmaster-ueneral whether any infor-1 matiou has been received that the pro-1 visions of parcel post, being introduced in , the United Kingdom, will be extendnd to | '.he Australasian Colonies.and whether.now .hat, there are direct steamers, Government vvill ba prepared to consider the ad\isa bility of establishing the parcel post scheme , limilar to that in force between India and cue United Kingdom, in the event of -he Imperial Pust-oiiico declining to ixtend parcel post to the Australasian Colonies. Mr DICK said it was not likely that these advantages would be extended to those colonies, seeing that the Postmaster- Ucneral at Hume did not consider that it ihould be done. Tho arrangement in force n India was entirely a private one, and now that direct »!eaine:s were running oetwecu England and Nov Zealand no).e I -.rich arrangement might b: nude. ' Public Jixpcnditure in North

Auckland.

Replying to Mr Gboegb, Mr Johnstjh said that the return of eipendituremnorthof Auckland counties during the past 10 years w is p •-! aved, but ihe return re expenditure of vote for roads, wharves, and bridges, north of Auckland would take some mouths to prepare.

Quinquennial Parliaments,

Mr LAENACU asked the Government whether they intended to introduce a Bill to repeal the Triennial Parlia ments Act either this or next session ; if not, whether they will allow facilities to private member* to introduce such measure. He said the country was d»sirous of a re turn to quinqu.nnial parliaments. Vfajor ATKINSON said the Government lid not propose to repeal the Triennial Parliament Act, nor could they, this session, elford auy special facilities to privato memoers for introducing such a measure.

Native Land Duties.

Mr sheehan, in asking the question as to whether Government were aware that entirely dm'«r«.nt viewi were held and acted •>n by officers charged with the assessment and collection of native land duties.Siid that in some partsof the Biorth Island purchasers ot nativo Ur,d were compelled to pay the •tamp duty freiu tho data they claimed the first siguature. Maj r atkinsos said be would cau.o iu quiriea to be made. sew Zealand and the Postal

X/nion.

Mi SMITH asked the Government if they will arraage for New Zealand joiiiig the Postal Union with other Australian colonise. Ue said thsre iv a strong feeling throughout the colony in favour of joiniog the Union.

Mr TUCK had aot heard of any feeling In btvaur of joiniog the Postal Union ; indeed, hs was of opinion that the reverse was the case. Goveramsnt had considered the matter carefully, and in view of the loss that would accrue to Yew Zealand, they kad not considered it advisable to join the Union,

Ihe Chinese Grievance.

Mr SHAW asked tbe Colonial Treasurer whether Government will be prepared durug this session to bring in a bill dealing --itti the grievances set out in the petition of the Chinese,

Major Atkinson said that Government h*d not yet had time to consider the peti tion, but he might say that if the petition lequired that the law be relaxed to enable more Chinese to come to the colony, he could hold out no hopes that the law would V>e altered. If, on the other band, its prayer wrs that the Chinese residing in the colony should be permitted to come and go without payment of tbe poll-tax, the same objection did not exist Mr MIA.W eaid that if a Chinaman wished to go from Hokitika to Dunedin he was charged the tax, and It was only by going through a circuitous process that the money was refunded,

First Readings,

The Property Tax Bill (Major Atkinson), mil the Leaseholders Qualification Bill (Mr Dick), were read a first time.

Measures Advanced

. The Trustees Bill was read a third time. The Confederation and Annexation Bill was passed with the alteration in the second clause of the word "Government" t > the word " Parliament," giving power to Parliament to appoint commissioners to make or receive proposals foe annexation or confederation.

The Fugitive Offenders Bill was committed without amendment.

The Bankruptcy Bill.

The Bankruptcy Bill was then further considered in committee.

To clause 139 Mr Barron had yester day moved an important nmendment. The clause is one relating to pre ferential debts, and commenced as follows: "Between themselves such debts shall rank equally, and shall be paid in full, unless the property of the bankrupt is insufficient to meet them, in which case they shall abate in equal proportions between themselves." Mr Harroo's amendment was to add the following words :—" All wages or salary of any clerk or servant in tbe employment of a bankrupt at the date of tho order Of adjudication, and not exceeding three months' wages or salary, and not exceeding one hundred ponnds; all wages ot any artizan, labourer, or workman, whether skillod or unskilled, in the emp'oyment cf a bankrupt at the date of the order of adjudi cation, and not exceeding three months' wages at current rates ; and any such clerk, servant, artizan, labourer, or workman may prove for any sum exceeding that amount."

The proposed amendment was strongly opposed by the Minister in charge of the bill, Mr CONOLLY, but was carried by 33 to 32. Thereupon Mr Conolly moved to report prsgress so that he might have an opportunity of ascertaining how the amendment affected the bill. He com plained that somo of those who had voted had done so without knowing what they were really voting about.

Mr Barron said that the anesdment had net materially affected the principle of the bill, and he demurred to the proposal ot tbe Minister; but progress was,howevcr, reported. In the Bouse to-day, Mr CuNOLY re marked that the amendment seemed to be of a character almost fatal to the bill, be cause it provided tbat all salaries should be paid ontof the bankrupt's estate to the exclu sion evon of the necessary costs incurred by the official assignee in winding up tho bankrupt's affairs. It appeared to him, therefore, oxtremely probable that the whole of the estate might be paid away in preferential claims, and the costs of ad ministering the estate must then be borne by the general body of taxpayers. This, of course, would be very undesirable, as the bill ought not be a burden to the gene ralpubiic. The costof administration should be borne by those for whose benefit it was called into existence. Ho we vor, he proposed to go through the bill to the end, and when it was reported he intended fo move to re commit it once more in order to enable the clause to be reconsidered, If 'the House consented to this course, he would then test the opinion of the Council as to whether the costs of the official assignee should not be preferential to all other claims. Mr Whitakitb proposed to divide pre ferential claims into three classes- first, costs incurred by the official assignee; eecond, wages and salaries of clients and servants in; the] employ of bankrupt at time ot adjudication; and third, wages of artisans and labourers up to a certain amount.

Mr BARRON thought the Committee should insist on the amendment.

Several amendments by Mr PEACOCK were negatived, and the bill left to be reported. Bills of Exchange Bill,

Tbe Bills of .Exchange Bill was then co_ sidered.

Mr HtTItST said there wai no demand for such a mcf'ure, which, he believed, would lead people inadvertently into litigation, Mr DARGAVILLK differed, saying, from his experience as banker and merchant, ho approved of the measure. Mr LARSACH agreed with Mr Hurst and moved that the bill be reported.

Major ATKINSON said tbe bill did not alter the existing law. The debate was interrupted by the 5.30 adjournment. A fter the adjournment, consideration of tbe bill was continued, and by the 10.30 adjournment progress had not been re ported. On the House again meeting, an import ant clause was proposed by Mr DeLautour to be added to bills of exchange, viz., " No bill or note shall attach any liability to any aborigiual mtt'.ve unless it shall show on the face oi it that it had been duly inter preted to tLe native." Ihe Affirmation Bill.

The Affirmations and Declaration BUI was then considered, Clauae 2 was

__e___>n nurm i -t U _ mm _ m __ mm^_ amended, causing the making ol aa affirm*} tion compulsory and virtually atolbhino the oaths. "8 The House rose at 12,25,

Charles Bailey and William Seagar y. The Patea S.S. Co.; claim, £150, for time penalty deductions on contract for building steanm Waverley.—Mr Brasiey for the plaintiff*, and Mr Browning for tbe defen dant?.- The case was heard on a previous Court any, and His Worship now gave judgment. He said: In this case,which is an action to recover balance of account, a sum ot £150 being alleged to be dee; the Question is whether the defendants were entitled from the completion of the work to deduct that sum as money forfeited by the plaintiffs, in consequence of their not having finished their contract within the . specified time. Thoughtheevidenceiarather voluminous, I think the only point that needs to be considered, and which is de cisive one way or other In the action, is whether any portion of that delay was caused by the default of the defendants. If ao, it is clear on the authority of Holme v. Guppy, a case greatly relied on, that the right to recover penalties or set them oS against the contract price is gone altogether, [Holme y. Guppy, 3M. and W„ 387, 32, L.J.O.F, quoted, also Kussell v. Da Bandeira and judgments of Lord Chit! Justice fcarle, and Mr Justice Byles. The citation from the latter judge stated that the judgment in Holme v. Gnppy was founded upon a rule of law which was well uaderstood and followed 200 years ago,] It seems to be, therefore, that all these cases must always be decided on the same principle, and tne only question, therefore, is, whether any portion of the delay wsa caused by the default of the defendants. Now the evidence shows that the defendants were to deliver a boiler and machinery either at Welling ton or nelson, By subsequent arrange ment, however, tbey were to be delivered to the plaintiffs in the Manukan, and another arrangement to deliver iv Auck land having failed, the boiler and maobinery were delivered In the Manukan, but not until three months after tho con. tracs was signed. By that the plaintiffs were kept waiting—for what period is not cle»rly ascertained—but tor two or three week«, at least. That the non-delivery was a consequence of tbe default of the defen dants is clear. Setting aside, therefore, the question about the-condition of the boiler wbendelivered, and the delay caused by its not being delivered a*, specified, tbcrestill re mains the period of two or three weeks during which the contract could not be carried out by the plaintiffs through the defendant's default, and that being so, the defendants have no right to set off the penalties. The plain* tills ore therefore entitled to recover the full amount, and consequently Judgment must be for £150. Costs, £10 3*. Wm. Sloane v. John McSheane; claim, £4 4s Id, for goods supplied.—Mr George appeared for the plaintiff, and the delen dant conducted his own case. —Tbe plaintiff proved the debt, and judgment was given accordingly.

DUNEDIN GAOL INQUIRY.

(BY TEMGRAPH.—OWN COBRBSPOBDEMT.)

DUNEDI*. tbhday. 5 HE Gaol Inquiry Commissioners resumed their sittlxg here yesterday. Prisoners Chalmers, Beid, and Hawkins,, were ex amined. The former said that when he went to work at the quarries, it .wis rumoured amongst the prisoners that men must fill twelve trucks daily to obtain full marks. He never found such to be the case. He simply had to do as much as he could. He had not received rough treatment, nor had be seen other prisoners so treated. Prisoners now growl from morning to nistht, jtut the same as in Mr Caldwell's tune. They are always calling officers " Inhuman brutes," and that sort of thing. They never excitedly threatened to km Caldwell, Torrance interviewed him while annoyed about some treatment, and said—"By George 1 If the old fellow does not leave off, I have a good mind to kill him I" Hawkins saidhelad been three years under 'Warder DuneM, but never saw prisoners 18-treated or the warders drunk.—Warder Beasby denied he was ever drunk.—Several other prisoners denied that anything improper had taken place in the gaol.— Captain Hume I» to be examined on Monday.

'T'HK BAD AND WORTHLESS



Are never imitated or counterfeited. This Is especially true of a family medicine, and it is a i pesltive proof that the romedy imitated is Of the highest value. As soon as It had, been tested and proved by tho whole world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best, and most valuable family mediolno on earth, many imitations sprang np and began to steal the notices in which the press and the people of the country had expressed tho merits of H. 8., and in every war trying to induce Buffering invalids to _a tholr stuff instead, expecting to make money on the credit and good name of H.B. Many others started nostrums put up in similar style to H JB., with variously devised names.in whi ttle word "Hop" or "Hops"were usedinaway to induce people to believe they were tho same as Hop Bitters. All such pretended remedies or cures, no matter what their style or name is, and especially those with the word "Hop" or " Hops " in their name qe In any way connected with them or their tamo, are Imitations or counterfeits. Beware of them. Touch none ot thorn. Use nothing but gennlno American Hop Bitters, with a bunoh or cluster of green Hops on the white label, and Dr Soule's name blown in the glass. Trust nothing else. Druggists and Chemists are warned against dealing ia Imitations or counterfelte.
