, , AFPORTIONMENT OP.RKYBNUB. "',' ' ''.f Mr. Hall moved, "That, iu'ihe opinion of "'tWi " Oouncil, ib ii expedient and ju«t that an equitable ' . apportionment »hould ,be made to' the' province 1 of " Jl Canterbury of tbe Custom* .revenue collected »t 'the ' port« of Nelson and Dunedin on good* 'whioh'are'"' transhipped from .there to ' the port' of 'HTolcitika:*,' ' iS He said, if the Government would admit the fact of '' there being a grievance uijthe matter, and, if they' 1 ' 1 •aid they would do their belt to remedy it,'he would' '■ be willing to- withdraw the motion.' ' Mr. Ciuwfobd «econded the motion, and said that !l hi* previous experience had fully shown him the ' necessity of such a course ai this. ' Mr. KionArowD^aid that hewas Tory gliid that the * hon. mover wai not very determined to press the mo- ! tion. He would pjomise that the matter should have' ■* the attention and consideration' of the Government and tbe [Commissioner of Customs; but if the' 7 Council were determined to pass a motion of the kind, it should be couched in more general { terras, for Hawke's.Bay, Taranaki, and all small ' provinces snffereJ as mucli or more from this grievance than the large prorince of Canterbury. , ' Mr. Taylor quite agreed with what had been said by the Colonial Secretary, that the' motion' ihould not be confined to Cauterbury alone, but also thought that the matter ihould have gone further.' ■ ,'' Captain Baillie would also object to voting for the motion, unless it were made general. Mr. Johnston oaid he could hardly believe in the provinces being so very much robbed, as the greater quantity of shipments, were made in bond, so that' the duty would be paid at the port of arrival. Dr. ftJ knzies was opposed to the motion. The debate wa* adjourned. Mr. Richjiond moved the adjournment of the Council until to-day, as the members were aware' that a meeting of the members of both Housei of Parliament with the Government had been appointed.' The House adjourned at 3.15 p.m. '
