LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
Thursday, 22nd June. Captain Eraser moved, and the Hon. Mr Hall seconded, the Address in Reply. The Hon. Mr Waterhouse spoke at some length. He said the progress of the Colony was not so great as had been made to appear, and denied that the position of the Colony was one of prosperity. He said that the elections at Wanganui and elsewhere disclosed corruption on the part of the Government, and criticised the land correspondence, which, he sail, would damage New Zealand in the eyes of strangers. Colonel Kenny said he would be ready to join any gentleman who would form an Opposition to the Government. The Hon. Mr Chamberlain denounced the Government as reckless and extravagant, and said the Governor's speech was barren. It should have contained immigration returns, public works statement, and details of the escape of Winiata, the murderer. Dr Pollen criticised and answered the remarks of Mr Waterhouse, and defended the action of the Government. The Address was adopted.
