WELLINGTON, Jult 6. In Committee on the election of Sohool Committees Bill,
Mr Hubsthousb moved the excisien of clause 4, which motion, after some discussion, was carried by 22 to 21.
Mr Stbwabd, expressing regret at the deoision come to, moved that progress be reported. Messrs J. Buchanan and Bbaokbk pointed out that to abolish cumulative voting would be an injustice to the Catholics and Jews. After some further discussion the motion to report progress was carried by 29 to 26. The Employment of Females Bill was reported with amendments. The Small Birds Nuisance Bill was opposed in Committee by Captain M'Kenzie, bo far as the rating power was concerned.
Several motions to report progress were made and lost, and the word " resident " in Clause 5 was struck out.
Several members held that this rendered the Bill quite inoperative. Ultimately the Bill was reported as amended, and the House rose at 2.45.
