PARLIAMENT.
» HOUSE OF BEPRESENTATIVES.
TUESDAY, JULY 14. The Hon tb.3 Speaker took the chair at 2.30 p.m. In reply to Mr E. H. J. Reeves, the Minister of Lands said the Government thought it would be a very good thing if some cheaper means of manufacturing flax could be devised and they would be prepared to sup port any such discovery. BREACH OP PRIVILEGE. A long discussion took place relative to the fact of portions of a correspondence ordered to be laid on the table by order of the House, relating to the cost, &c, of locomotive boilers ordered from England having been left out of the return, which was considered by the Opposition to be a breach of privilege. A letter on the subject was read from the Railway Commissioners. The result was that after four hours Mr Rees's amendment, " That the action taken ' by the Minister for Public Works in relation to corresspondence laid upon the table was in accordance with usual Constitutional practice," was carried. The Aliens Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. The Companies Bill, the Bankruptcy Bill, the Coal Mines Bill and the Bill were all read a second time. The House rose at 1 a.m.
