PAYMENT OF MEMBERS.
I.*! [PRESS association.] ■ : . London, July 9. During the debate in the House of Commons to-day on the motion for payment of members, Admiral Field, M.P. for Eastbourne, stated that a very able man, and one of great wealth, residing in Victoria, had told him that any number of men could be bribed in the Victorian Assembly. The House of Commons has, by a majority of 57, rejected the motion proposed by Mr. Charles Fenwick, M.P. for Wansbeck, providing for the payment of members of the House. In speaking to the motion, Mr. Gladstone advocated the paying of labour members.
