WOMEN AS MEMBERS.

Sir William Fraser's Attitude.

i A req.,feol for an assurance of his support! of tho Bill enabling women to sit in Parliament was made to Sir William Fraser at Auckland on Friday by a deputation from the Auckland branch of the National Council of Women.

In reply Sir William Fraser said that the promise made by Mr Massey that a measure on the subject would be brought down next session was an individual promise and did not bind members of the Government. Personally he had grave doubts as to whether the proposal was practicable. The Minister indicated that he was unable to give the pledge asked for.
