IN THE LOBBY.
[from OUR PARLIAMENTARY correspondent.] Wellington, To-day. Mr Barron is to move that in the opinion of the House, permission extended to members to absent themselves for five days during the sitting of Parliament without deduction from their allowance, in accordance with a resolution agreed to on the 25th August, 1874, should not apply to the last ten sitting days of any session, and that in addition to a proportionate deduction provided for in such resolution, a special deduction of five guineas per day should be made from the honorarium of any member who absents himself during the last ten days of any session. The Chairman of the Printing and Reporting Debates Committee estimates that to carry out the proposal of the hon. member for Port Chalmers for distributing a copy of Mansard to every householder in the colony would cost something like L 20,000 per session. There is therefore no prospect of the proposal being agreed to.
