The only member who broke the monotony of the weary stonewall-in the House during the long hours of last night was Mr A. E. Glover. . ■■• Mr Glover was speaking about o a.m. very far wide of the question before the House, when the Acting-Chairman i,Mr Lee) called him to order once or twice.. Mr Glover was in one of his most, eloquent moods, and ho protested at the too of his voice that he claimed his right as a , representative of the people. . ■ ■» ' Mr Lee said something about sending for Mr Speaker, but Mr Glover left the Chamber, saying to himself the while, '"I.claim my right, and I will tellmy good people of Auckland, whom I love so well." • Mr Speaker was not cent for, but Mr Glover did riot come back to the Chamber just then.Mr Glover spoke again about" 11.30 a.m., when he solemnly begged tho pardon of Mr Lee (who at this time was again in the chair), if he had "transgressed." He declared that he was not in the confidence of the members of his side of the House in regard to tha stonewall..bnt he appealed to members to.put the Bill through and wind up tho session by tho end of next. week". Mr Witty: Ah! You want to go to the Auckland Exhibition!
(Mt Glover: Never mind about the Exhibition; I.will bo there in any case. Ido desire to go there. The Prime Minister ought to be there; the Leader of His Majesty's Opposition ought to be there: all members of Parliament ought to be there. (Tlear, hear.) T, in any case, will be in the "Queen City.'.' T may be transgressing
Mr Witty: "Where is the "Queen City"? (Laughter.)
Mr Glover again appealed to members to finish up the session and let them all get away to their "happy homes." "I implore and entreat, and I entreat and implore again that memoers should end this debate," he continued in bis most persuasive tone.
