[PER PRESS AGENCY.] ’ . ——- PARLIAMENTARY. ' _Q HOUSE OF KEPIIESENTATIVES. WELLINGTON.. September 4. Discussion on the Education, Bill was continued by Sir George Grey last night, who thought that Education and charitable institutions should have been included in one measure. The Bill was' a wicked proposal to introduce religious dissensions and set class against class, and-make the poor pay for the education of the rich. '

Other speakers followed, alter which Mr Bowen replied, and acknowledging the temperate tone of the discussion, said that Government did not desire to do more than was necessary ' at' present. It desired to make Education Boards acceptable to the people while avoiding the evils of local representation, and was willing to accept any better method for doing this. He believed the funds provided would, prove- ample, as buildings, inspection scholarships, and normal .schools, would be otherwise provided I for. The £IOO,OOO for buildings would be divided in proportion to ■ the deficiency between existing accommodation and the number of children requiring it in ,reach district. He did hot think" ’clause 85 ‘ would interfere -with • the liberty of, the, conscience of anyone. He objected, to the Bigotry of secularism, and did not, think aiiy practical cliificulty would, arise uncler the JBilh' ’' He"'‘ considered .

Mr Fitzherbert stated the case pretty fully, and said the claim was for £32, for oats supplied by Mr Taplin, to defendant.

A further order was given and executed, 17 bags being left at Oeo, and 18 bags at.Opunake.

Stephen--son, who bagged the oats, considered them sound and of good quality. j Mr Addins: explained that he was at a great disadvantage, as important evidence could, hot, .at the present time, be prof duced.

Honi Piaharaa deposed to having dealt with' plaintiff, and having been supplied with oats of good quality; He acknowledged to delivery of oats, for which he was now sued, though he was not present at the delivery. His attention was first called to the oats through the groom and coachdriver complaining that they were bad, and that the horses would not eat them. On examination, the oats appeared bad, and were damp. They were no good to him, either for feed or for sowing. He gave receipt as lo receiving so many bags

of, oats, but did not state them to be good" HonUßiahami’s groom deposed that he offered thh oats in question to the horses, but they Would not eat them. He hid never se.eh worse oats.
