THE NATIVE LAND BILL.
[by telegraph.] Wellington, To-day.
On the New Zealand Native Land Com- : pany’s Bi.l being called on, Mr De Lautonr said that the Government having intimated to him that they objected to this Bill on the groonds of general policy, and that he recognised that they had a ‘ •just right to make such an objection, he would ask them to postpone the second leading tor a week that the Government might in the meantime consider that if all '■ the clauses relating to public matters were ' struck out, and only the first four clauses of the Bill, which relate entirely to m&tters personal to the Company, the Government would allow those* clauses ‘ to proceed. If the Government objected • be would abandon the Bill altogether. Major Atkinson agreed to the poatpone- - ment, and promised to consider the Bill in its revised shape. The second reading -was postponed for a week.
