HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Thttesday, Nov. 12. Haiolce's Bay Waste Lands Regulation Act,
Mr. Ormond moved the second reading of this BUI, and briefly explained its objects. Mr. Colenso opposed the measure and criticised it as being unnecessary, unfair, and unjust, and as being devised for the purpose of taxing one part of the Province for the support of the other.
Mr. Fox said the Government felt in some difficulty with regard to this Bill, the legislature having already enacted that no land should be sold on credit. He expressed no opinion on the merits of the BiU or the credit system in general. He wished to let each province deal as it pleased with its own lands as far as possible ; but if thig Bill were passed it would be in direct opposition to the Act previously referred to.
Mr. Ormond having replied,
The question, " That the Bill he now read a second time," was put and negatived on a division by 24 to 12.
