At 7 35, Mr Malcolm who had been relieved at 5 a.m by Mr Hine, resumed the chair. The Minister said nothing was to be gained by pressing the motion, aB he admitted overcrowding existed, but waa doing his best to meet the exigencies of the case. The buildings had already been authorised, and he hoped soon to have the necessary accommodation to meet all requirements. AN UNSUCCESSFUL MEDIATOR. Mr Wilford at this stage offered himself as a medium of mediator between the Government and Opposition to see whether an arrangement could not be arrived at to end the impasse, but the Premier refused to accept the olive branch so offered. Mr Isitt hoped there would be no talk of compromise until the reports were brought down. Not one single class should go through until the necessary information was supplied. The House adjourned at 8 o'clock and resumed at 9.
