In the House of Representatives, the Counties Bill having gone through Committee on the motion that it be read a third time, Mr. Stout moved the adjournment of the debate, in order to have the amendments in the Bill printed, but it was lost by 26 to 18. Then began a series of formal protests against the third reading. The following members spoke as showing terms condemnatory of the Bill predicting confusion and widespread dissatisfaction from its operation : De Latour, Hodgkinson, Rees, Henry, Sheehan, Brown, Grey. Rolleston, R. Wood, W. Wood, and Stout. Mr. R. Wood moved another adjournment, and Mr. W. Wood that the Bill be x-ead that day six months, but both were lost ultimately.
