MR. STEWARD’S REGISTRATION OF ELECTORS BILL.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW ZEALAND TIMES. Sir, —Your reporter appears to have misappre hended my interjectional remark made on this Bill last night, when Sir George Grey was informing the House that the initiation of the measure would prove a benefit to a large portion of the human I am made to say that the human race “ had been in existence in this colony for the last twenty years.” What I really did was to set forth a less obvious and not so well-known truth, that “ a similar law bad been in existence in Scotland for the last twenty years.” There the ratepayers’ rolls form the basis of the electoral rolls. —I am, &c., I>. M. Luckie, House of Representatives, Friday.
