LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL

(BY TELEGBAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION.) 1 < WELLINGTON, Oct. 13. The Legislative Council met to-day at 2.30 p.m. The council passed, without amendment, the Land Laws Amendment Bill. In reply to a suggestion that clause j nine of the Land Bill should be extend- ■ ed to enable lessees of educational en- | dowment reserves to surrender their : present leases and obtain a new lease, Sir William Eraser said there was difficulty in amending the law in that direction this session. The matter had received the attention of the Government, and, if necessary, legislation would be introduced next year, so that no injustice would be done. The council adjourned at 3.5 p.m.
