Hobbs. •rlnonine the proceedings, the Chairman . S theaction tho Chamber had taken < in this matter. He said that the . ,_t„ were requested to keep a vigilant, CmZ Z .Main Trunk KaiTway, unci tf "" j t had appeared rocontly, both 1 tho Premier's speech and in other * r°m there was a disposition on the "•'_.( _ n Government to lay hands on tho Cay loan, ho wired to tho Colonial _ tier with tho Committees sanction _fr_ei-*cd the replies which had already !_, published the answer was rather _.i!n<r and as tho question was ono of to the people of the North P, tho on ly course left was to call a __n_ of tho Chambor, more especially the Government were settling a danger !l precedent in seizing on money set rt by Act for a specific purposo i one part of the colony, and diverting !; L works in another part of tho l_Z without the authority of I'arlia t The rosult of this would bo tho Sneering of this groat colonial work. _™ the money wss diverted what 0 fltee was thoro that would b. S3, and when? Referring to tho Son that had boon taken.up by tho Aockland members, ho said that thoy had ted for Captain Russell's motion, know to that it would delay the railway A he asks, were they so blind as the Treasurer says in not foreseeing that the Lett exigency or necessity would arise The Auckland members had been invited there that day, in order that they mieht hsve an opportunity of stating whether or not the Colonial Treasurer was risht in interpreting the reasons which •ctuated them in voting on Captain Rub M ll's motion. It was timo, too, that the Government should not bo law-speakers, for if they carried out their apparent intentions tv« would incur this reproach. If they nfesd the million loan it would only bo on the eipresa understanding that it was for (1,8 North Island railway. If it was not, therefore, devoted to this purpose it irould be obtained on false pretence. He had received tho following telegram {rem Mr Mitchelson, M.H.R.:—" Regret unable be present at meeting to-day protest sesinst proposed action of Government. Dishonest attempt punish Auckland, and Wellington. As one of those who voted for reductions, I emphatically deny stato neote and insinuations of Sir Julius Vosel. Ample funds availablo to carry out votes of House action is therefore unnecessary. Further unauthorised expen diture upon defence or other works un warranted and unjustifiable. Parliament ihonld be called together earlier than usual deride question of misappropriation." Mr McMillan moved that the Chamberem phaticaliy protests against the intention of Cmernment to negotiate the North Island Main Trunk Railway off the million loan in April next, with the avowed object of diverting it to other works than thoso which tne Act speoified." The speaker deprecated any tirade being directed against the Government, but censured their immoral conduct with regard to this loin. He appreciated the firm opposition by the Auckland members to the West Coast Railway job, and accused the Premior oh.owing, in his Dunedin speech, that ho had been guilty of low trickery. Mr G. Holdship secended the resolution, Mr Thos. Peacock proceeded to show that there were sufficient funds in tho kinds of tho Government opart from mil lion loan to carry all works authorised hy Parliament, and for a period longer than to interval between now and the next sea bob of Parliament. Last session £2,600,000 taa voted for all purposes, but a great por ta of this were liabilities. Ovor £ 100,000, kofever, which was voted for tho purchase olnotive lands, it was not intended to spend tkisyear. The amounts coming in for pay ment before next session had been stated to be £1,250,000, and ns tho vhole £~000,000 had boon cut down by £300,000, the proportion of this amount Uieii off the £1,250,000 was only £250,000. By the end of this yoar tho Government would have £750,000 in hand altogether, upA from £200,000 already in tho w_d officers. It was nover contem plated liy Parliament that any part of the «i»loan_hould be dovoted to defence or (tterprposes, and the Government wero •mile to spend money at all unless as Pariiamenthad decided.

llrMoeßwas inclined to think that this intention of the Government with regard to tie million loan was a pure aftorthought, ltd that during the currency of Parliament itwu neither contemplated by them or any MB member of tho House. Ho on jtoed the clear statement of Mr Mitchelson, and, like Mr Poacock, m repudiated emphatically tho construction (tad by Government upon members' action. 11% were in financial difficulties it was m duty to call Parliament together.
