NO HURRY.— REASONABLE HOURS.
When the Prime Minister moved this evening that the House adjourn until 10.30 a.m. to-morrow, tho Leader ot the Opposition asked for an assurance that tho business would not be hurried and that the House would not be asked to sit reasonable hours. The majority of members, he said, had decided that Parliament should adjourn after a very short session, but this should not be allowed to interfere with free discussion. Ho explained that he did not propose to offer any obstruction. Sir Joseph Ward replied that he was not an advocate or supporter of long hours. Members should be able to get away by 11 p.m. or midnight. The Government would clearly place the business to be transacted before the House and it would bo left to the good sense of members to deal with.
