LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
Wbdkbbday, Jxwb 9.
In the Legislative Oounoil, after a very large amount of routine and small business had been disposed of, the Deceased Wife's Sitter Marriage Bill was brought in by the Hon. Mr Mantell, and read a first time. On the adjourned debate on the second reading of the Native Reserves Bill (the first of five new Native Land Sills on the paper), there was a long discission as to postponing the second reading until after the Native Land Act, now in the Lower House, was sent up. Ultimately the second reading was deferred till Friday, with the option of farther adjournment then if found necessary. The Fisheries Bill was passed through committee, several amendments being made, one being the exoision of exceptional privileges as to fishing given to Natives.
Hon. P. Whitakbb gave notice to in troduce a G-aming and Lotteries Bill.
The Oounoil adjourned at 4.30 p.m.
