The debate Was continued last night by Luckie, who strongly supported the Government proposals. Montgomery (Christchmch) admitted that public opinion in Canterbury was in favor of abolition, and that he himself was in favor of a change, but disapproved of the bill because of the uncertainty of endowments, and said the effects of the"bill on butlying districts, where population was sparse, would be injurious. Tribe made a mosx effective speech in favor of the Government, what he knew and had heard of the feeling of the country, the Government would be absolutely criminal if they did not, duiing the present session, push on to completion tlieir several measures The country was nje for them, and great injury would accrue to it from any., longeri delay.' Gibbs would vote for .the second" reading,;-but reserved the right to vote as he might deem right. Abolition would be a-boon to ,the Colony, for Provincial Governments had. fulfilled their destiny.
