The report of the managers was adopted %vithout debate. On the question of insisting on the amendment made in the Land for Settlement Bill, removing the District Land Registrar from the Land Purchase Board, the Council divided.— Ayes, 15; noes, 15. The Speaker, in order to give an opportunity of further discussion, voted with the noes, and Hons. Richardson, Walker and Kelly were appointed to draw up reasons.

Dr. Grace moved to strike out clause 5, which amends the principal act by allowing suburban lands to be offered as security for an advance.
