THE MASTER AND SERVANT'S BILL.
In another column we publish entire the Bill brought forward by Mr. Brodie for reforming the relative position of Master and Servant in the Province of Auckland. Our readers have already seen how it has been characterized in the Council Chamber. They now have an opportunity of judging for themselves whether 1 one word too harsh or too much was said in condemnation of this measure, which, though moved by Mr. Brodie, is understood to have had the benefit of the active supervision of a leading member of the Executive other members of which are so benevolently anxious to prevent the working class from being tempted to become purchasers of land. The definition of the word "servant" is truly comprehensive, and we trust that all who are embraced within the extended circle, will study well this sample of " Progress" legislation. His Honour, in his Address, intimated his intention to introduce a Master and Servant's Bill. Is it because he and his Executive think Mr. Brodie's is so superior, so much more liberal to the working classes, that they have withheld theirs in favour of that which we publish to-day ?
