PARLIAMENT.
LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. "Wellington, Tuesday. Replying to questions it was stated that the Fair Rent Bill would be circulated shortly ; that the question of assisting settlers who had lost their stock by the recent heavy storms in the South Island was under the consideration of the Government. FENCING BILL. The Fencing Bill was committed. Clause B—relating B—relating to swing gates across roads—caused a lengthy discussion. Mr Montgomery moved to strike out that portion of the clause which imposed a penalty of not exceeding £5 on every person who damages or leaves open a swing gate on a road, bridge, or in any rabbit-proof fence, or who, after passing through such gate does not close it. The Hon Mr McKenzie opposed the amendment, which was eventually lost on the voices.
