THE GAMING BILL.
GETS MIXED RECEPTION. DETERMINED OPPOSITION EXPECTED. (Special to “Tribune.”) Wellington, July 30. What transpired in the House this afternoon indicates that the Gaming Bill is not likely to receive a smooth passage through the legislature, if it gets through at all. The Hon. R. F. Bollard moved for leave to introduce tho Bill, and Labour members at once seized the opportunity to talk to the motion. There was little interest in their arguments, inasmuch as most of the contentions were old, but chief interest lay in the very clear evidence that there is hostility to the Bill. Labour, with the asistance of Mr L. M. Isitt, was still in possession of the floor when the House had to adjourn at 5.30, and this meant that for to-day the Bill was talked out. No doubt Mr Bollard will bring the Bill on again, and eventually get it in. but determined opposition must now be expected.
