LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
Wsllinqton, Last night. It was agreed on Mr Whitaker's motion to meet on Monday for the future. ' Mr Mantell's motion that Sir J. Vogel was justified in believing he had the approval of Government to join the Land Compauy was shelved by the previous question on the motion of Mr Waterhouse after a short debate in which there was some heated political argument between Sir F. Bell and Col. Whitniore. " ■' Mr Wilson moved that ia the opinion of the Council the bankruptcy law requires amendment. There was an im* portant debute on the subject, in which many valuable suggestions were made by different members.
Mr Whitaker said the law was bad because it was founded on the*basis that the creditors should have the dealitff with estates, whereas it should be in the bands of independent parties. He would not promise to bring in a bill-tie-it yseision though strongly urged, but would be glad to do so if he saw s any chance to carry a measure in accordance with his view*. Mr Waterhouse carried a motion that the police should be instructed atribf|intly to enforce the Adulteration Act. -'
