Legal and Parliamentary.
As our branches are aware, a resolution was forwarded from our recent Convention to the Government urging that the C.L>. Acts be repealed. For years past the N.Z. W.C. I L , has memorialised the Government on this question, but still the disgraceful enactment remains on the statute books of the colony. The Legal and Parliamentary department now asks that every branch of our New Zealand Union should send a petition to the speaker of each Legislative Chamber and to the Premier, urging that the C.l>. Acts be repealed before another session passes. The three copies of the petition should be legibly written on foolscap, signed by the officers of the branch, and forwarded m August. The branches are also requested to communicate with the M.U.K.’s of their respective districts asking them to support the “ Repeal " measure. * SutiTAKD ) Superintendents. L. M. Atkinson ) *
