New Zealand Parliament.
LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. (Per Press Association.) Wellington, July 15. The Council met at 2.30. The Hon Mr Jenkinson moved that the proceeding* of the Banking Committee be open to the press. This course was opposed by several speakers, and the motion eventually rejected by 25 to 8. The Criminal Code Act Amendment Bill passed its final stages. The Hon Mr Walker moved the second reading of the Chatham Islands County Constitution Bill, to form Chatham Islands into a county. Mr Bowen said the inhabitants did not desire the change, which was being forced upon them by the Resident Magistrate. The Hon. Mr Walker agreed to the adjournment of the debate for a month to ascertain the truth of these allegations. The Council then adjourned.
