The Payment of Members Bill has been passed by the House, but it has yet to face the Legislative Council.

Hutchison, Lake, M. J. S. Mackenzie, McGuire, Meredith, J. Mills, Moore, Newman, O'Connor, Swan, Rhodes, Richardson, Rolleston, Saunders, Taipua, Tanner, R. Thompson, T. Thompson, Valentine, Wilson, Wright. Pairs. — For— Cadman, Fraser, Ballance, Taylor, Fisher. Against — MitcheJson, Russell, T. Mackenzie, Lawry, Harkness. The Bill was afterwards discussed in committee, and eventually passed its final stages all in the one sitting.
