ITS PROSPECTS. By Telegraph. —Special to Waikato Times.) WELLINGTON. '• his Day. The Land Bill is a:?ain before the Lauds Committee to-day. Clause 'A, re uottirg aside the remaining lands as aa endowrnent, is expected to get through easily, aa will also the £W/W clau:-e referring to large estates, ft is confide ed probable the limjto-tiin < f the area clause to one thousand acres will be amended to a money ' ralue instead of arm. poaeibly .£15,000. The Kill i-hould be finished by the Commirtee to-morrow. I believe it will be p!nc«d with some modifications on the Statute Hook this session, ;ind that the Government will have a majority of at least ten on the crucial clauses.
