THE WESLEYAN CHURCH BILL.
[by telegraph.—press association.] Wellington, Thursday. At a meeting of the trustees of the local Wesleyan Churches there were 17 trustees present representing church property to the value of £30,000. The opinion was unanimously expressed that Parliament should permit the Methodists to conduct' their Church's business according to their own ideas. After fully discussing the Bill a vote was taken, and IS of those present voted for it in its entirety, whilst the remaining two trustees suggested an amendment limiting a minister's stay in a circuit to five years. Those in favour of the Bill signed a petition for presentation to the Legislative Council. It was mentioned that there are twelve other trustees in the city who will also sign the petition.
