THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL
FISHERIES AMENDMENT BILL PASSED. (United Press Association.) Wellington, September 18. The Legislative Council met at 2.30 p.m. The Auckland City Abattoir Bill and the Nelson Waterworks Extension Amendment Bill were read a first time and referred to a select committee. The Council refused to suspend the Standing Orders to allow the Nelson Diocesan Trust Board Empowering Bill to proceed. The Speaker (the Hon. Sir Walter Carncross) pointed out that a judge’s certificate should be obtained, and if the Standing Orders were suspended in this respect the Supreme Court would be flouted.
The Fisheries Amendment Bill and the Law Reform Bill were passed.
The Statutes Revision Committee to which the Law Reform Bill was referred, deleted a clause providing that covenants in leases are not to assign without a licence or consent, if the lease is for more than 40 years and was made in consideration of building improvements under certain conditions. The Council adjourned at 4 p.m. till Wednesday.
