NEW ZEALAND PARLIAMENT.
Friday, October 2,
LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. Leave of absence granted to the Hon. Mr Miller for remainder of the session.
The Provincial Lawsuits Act Amendment Bill, the main features of which we gave on Friday last, was read a third time and passed. •In a discussion on the Westland Waste Lands Bill the Hon. Mr Holmes said that the whole course of legislation for Westland had been exceptional; the Act giving it existence as a county had not yet been legalised. Powers and privileges were asked for and granted that would not have been accorded to any other part of the colony. After enumerating various instances of this, the hon. member said, ' were they to go on with that kind of legislation for; the sake of a petty county whose existence was a mistake, there was no telling where they would stop.' The bill was read a third time, as was the Otago Survey Correction Bill.
