(FROM OTTO OVm CORRESPONDENT.)
: WeliiNgtoit, August 5. The melancholy dullness of sessional work in the House was momentarily enlivened yesterday by Mr Finn, who quite unexpectedly gave notice that he would ask today a question to the following effect. Whether the Government is aware that the Resident Magistrate at Kumara, Westland, recently opened the Court for the transaction of Judicial business at eight o'clock in the evening, and sat until four o'clock the next morning, and during such time took the evidence of young girls, and at three in the morning, issued a warrant to compel the attendance of another girl of tender years. Also what the Government intended doing in the matter. The magistrate referred to is Mr Shetford.
