The Licensing Question.
, (From the Lyttelton Times.) , A TELEGBAM that appealed among our Parliamentary news on Thursday appears to have conveyed a wrong impression of the altitudes taken up by the* Premier and the Minister for Education towards Sir Robert Stout's Licensing Act Amendment Bill. The Premier did not announce, as might b*** implied from the telegram, that the Government would bring in a Bill similar to Sir Robert's proposal, and the Minister for Education did not deolare that ha would "be quite unable to support suoh a measure." Mr Seddon stated, we now understand, that if it was the desire of the House that the Government should deal with the licensing question, he would introduce a Bill that wonld be fair and reasonable and would, he hoped, give satisfaction to all. Mr Reeves, following the Premier, pointed out that his election pledges would compel him to vote on Sir Robert's Bill in opposition to his chief, but he expressed no hostility towards the legislation indicated by Mr Seddon.
