NATIVE LAWSUITS BILL.
A motion for adjournment being negatived on a division, the House then went into Committee on the Native Lawsuits Bill. Mr. Stout said the Government agreed to insert in the Bill the names of Messrs. Cook, Mansford, and Higginbotham as Judges, and also to limit the period during which actions could be brought forward to two years. Thi3 appeared to satisfy the Hawke's Bay members, but Mr. Moorhouse created an unexpected diversion by protesting against these private arrangements between interested panics, and saying that Mr. Stout's proposal was an insult to the Supreme Court Judges. Mr. Stout said that Judge Richmond had once himself publicly remarked that it was impossible for the Maoris to get justice in the Supreme Court. As it became evident that in this temper of the House nothing could be done, progress was reported, and the House adjourned at 3.2o.— Daily Telegraph.
