The lion member for Waikato, Mr. Whitaker, moved the second reading of his Parliamentary Kepresentation BUI last night, and made a long and able speech in explanation of the principles and details of the measure. In principle it provides for the representation of the whole o! the electors of the colony by an adaptation of Hare’s scheme, and is based upon manhood suffrage with one vote and one vote only for each individual. We shall take an early opportunity of reprinting the Bill for the information of our readers, as the subject is of vital importance to all.
