The Premier moved to strike off ths remainder of the Bills on the Ordez Paper, including the Land Settlement Finance Bill, which he would not proceed with as it stood at present. Mr Massey objected to this, seen?" that the Government had decided to drop the Land Bill. He considered that some land legislation should be passed this session. The proper course to pursue when the House re-inserted clause 10 (struck out by the Council*, was to appoint a conference. The Bill gave the r:<rht- to a modified freehold, and should have been allowed to pass. Mr Forbes expressed regret that tlie session should close without any attempt being made to facilitate settlement. For that Tesson he desired cee the Bill proceeded with as it hn-3 left the House.
