In reply to a remark that fell from Mr. Robinson during the discussion in committee on the Forests Bill hi the Legislative Council, Captain Fraser said .that he was not iu the habit of making a milch cow of the State. ■ The debate on this Bill, generally was prolonged and varied. Hon. members seemed especially, divided as to the .advisability lor otherwise of ,- transplanting the trees, and also as to the length of time the trees should have been planted ; befpre the bonus could be claimed. . Mr. Mantell, replying to certain remarks which,fell from Mr. Hall, suggested it would be better if for the future all allusions to .his habit of .treating things in a jocular spirit were dropped duriag debates in the Chamber. Altogether the debate on the Forests Bill seemed to be both lively, and, if one, might judge' from the countenances of hon. members, amusing. 1 : The local publicans- at ■Wanganui have all been duly cautioned not to allow sweeps on races to. take place on their premises.
