PARLIAMENTARY
(FIIOM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Wellington, August 28
This afternoon a new clause was added to the L'ind Bil , to the effect th it no pastoral tenant of the Grown could purchase an additional lease, if hti holds a run cairying 20,000 slieep. This was objected to by the Government, but was carried by a large majority. The question under discussion in the House at present is the mail
service. The Roads Construction Bill will' probably come on lor the eeuond rending to-night, and, I understand, will he strongly objected to,principi»ily on the ground that' the Minister for the limo being would have such, an enormous patronage, that Road Boards and County Councils would have to go cop in hand to the Minister, and that this mixing up of general and local finance is most demorali.-ing. There was some excitement here this evening on receipt of the news of the incendiary fires in your town.
