ABOUT THE LOBBIES.
(From owovm Correspondent.)
June 23. Mr Stafford's speech was a moderate and practical one—all the points told. The Opposition talk this morning about walking out and not voting. Mr Stout's contention of the illegality of the proclamation has not affected the opinions on Sir J. Vogel's challenge''. Sir George Grey said he would lay down his life and property on behalf of the inhabitants of Piako and of mankind generally, this was told amidst loud cheers. The contention that the proclamation iftillegal has not affected the position. Ministers will have a large majority. The debate will probably collapse to-night. ..•'■•■'■ > Ministers are overworked with departmental details. It is proposed to create two ex officio members without seats in the Cabinet. Messrs Bunny, Pyke, and others ate mentioned. ,
!Mr Stout introduced, another Licensing Amendment Bill. Mr Manders gave notice that upon its second reading he will move that the whole matter of the Licensing Laws be referred to a select committee. Messrs Curtis and Pyke were proposed as Chairman of the Goldfields Committee. Mr Pyke was Elected by six to three. Mr Hall's speech in Legislative Council attracts attention.
