The House met at 11 o'clock this morning. Colonel Trimble brought up a report of the native affairs committee on the petition of Mr Taiaroa that it was decided on party grounds. Mr Bryce protested against the gross imputations mnde by members when matters did not suit their views. If suvh conduct was persisted in, the Native Affair's Committee would have to i c abolished altogether. Tt; Wheoro said he was quite sure that no good had c.vi'.r been derived by the Natives from this Committee, and that no great harm would be done if it were done away with. He supported the attend merit that the report be not received. Mr Rheehan contended that the imputation was not stronger than has often been made by European members. Maori members had been charged with beiug a combination on behalf of the Maori people. He asked if they were the only combination in that House. Mr Daniels said that the South Island Natives had not been fairly dealt with, and regretted the position taken up by the Native Minister. The fact was, that all that was given to the Natives for the vast conntry of Southland would r.ot ainonnt to the sum of one farthing for 500 acres.
