In reply to questions, it was stated that the fines inflicted on the employees of the Government for breaches of regulations are paid to the Public Trustee, and form the nucleus of a superannuation fund; that it was not proposed to give long service medals to commissioned officers of Volunteer forces; that the matter of promotion by a step in rank to officers who have sei-ved 16 yearß had been settled; that the question of amending the present unsatisfactory state of the law as regards Acclimatisation Societies was under consideration; that to reintroduce the system of retura tickets on railway lines would result in a loss to the colony of £40,000 n year, and could not be entertained. On the motion for recommittal of the Representation Bill, Mr. Mills moved for its recommittal, in order that the number of members should be reduced to 91. lie felt sure many had voted -for 91 a few nights ago under a misconception, and he thought they would be showing a practical desire for economy by first reducing the number of members, and then reducing their own honorariums. Sir Robert Stout opposed the recommittal, and said if it were agreed to he should not be responsible for its passing this session. A lengthy discussion ensued, after which the amendment for recommittal was lost by 50 to 21. The Bill was then read a third time, and passed. On the motion that the amendment in the Electoral Act Amenment Bill be agreed to, Mr. Levestam moved, " That the Bill be recommitted for the purpose of considering a olause providing that £10 penalty be enforced for each candidate who does not poll one-tenth the number Of votes polled by the successful candidate."

Turnbull, Hursthoase, and Hatch opposed it strongly. The bill was read a third time by 31 to 18, and passed. . The Infants guardianship and Contracts Bill passed thiough its remaining stages. _ The Kermadec Islands Bill was considered in Committee. The question was iaised as to what would become of the rights of the present residents. Several members argued the islands had simply been annexed in order to enable people to get a title to what otherwise they could not obtain. The Premier said this was a matter, the House would be able to it . estigate. ■ Tovoral motions to report progress or edjr irn the debate were lost, and these being disposed of the Bill was finally got through Committee unaltered.

The area of the reserve was 62,000 acres. Mr. Heynoan congratulated the Native Minister on securing such an acquisition. Colonel Trimble did not think 'he land of much value from an agricultural point of view, as the Native Minister thought.

Acting aa a derivative, this unguent draws to the surface, releases the tender intestines from all acrid matters, and prevents inflammation, dysentery, and piles, for which blistering was the old-fashioned, though successful treatment, now from its painfulness fallen into disuse, the discovery of this Ointment having proclaimed a remedy possesing equally derivative, yet perfectly painless, powers. 12 The worst forms of Fever^ Prickly Heat, Smallpox, and Measles rapidly cured by Lamplough's Pybetio Salink.
