PARLIAMENT IN SESSION
PRIVATE MEMBERS’ DAY LITTLE PROGRESS MADE . After the wearying .all-night . sitting on the Samoa Amendment Bill, matters moved quietly in the House of Representatives yesterday. The afternoon sitting was devoted to a debate bn country land values, and the result was that private members’ Orders were not called upon until the ' night session. Then members of the Official Opposition entered into a discussion on the merits of preferential voting, the opportunity being provided by the second reading of Mr. J., McCombs’s. Bill on the subject. Occasional references to the licensing question brightened up the proceedings. An agreement being arrived at among members that no further measures be taken after the termination of the debate on the first Bill called upon, the House rose at 10.20-p.m.
