(by TELEGRAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION.! WELLINGTON, Sept. 11. . I think you can make up your minds on this: that the New Zealand lari lament will not- see any injustice dene to the women of the country. I can say that right awa.v.” So said Mr Massey to a deputation from the National Council of Women, which requested that there be no inequality between men and women, and that women should not lie debarred by sex from occupying any civil position such as justices of the- peace*; that they should ulso bo üblo to sctvo 071 juries and be given equal rights of guardianship over children with men. The deputation also urged the establishment of women patrols. Mr Massey assured the deputation that its representations would not be lost on the Government. As far as women patrols were concerned, he was finite convinced that there was necessity for something more drastic in the way of punishment for those who assaulted children. If it depended on him it would lie much more drastic than it had ever been vet.
