THE WORK OF THE SESSION.
The following from a Wellington correspondent appears in this morning’s “ Press” ; —Ministers are still engaged actively in preparing Bills, most of which, however, are almost exact reprints of those dropped last session. The Licensing Bill is undergoing very careful revision. The principal new feature will bo the provisions for licensing and police supervision of all clubs, the imposition of a £4O bottle license, and the introduction of a new license at a nominal charge for the exclusive i-ale of wines produced in New Zealand, this being with a view to encourage wine production as a new local industry. The chief difficulty experienced in regard to this measure is to provide adequate means for guarding against fraud by ensuring that only bomjule New Zealand grown wines, and no other liquor of any kind, shall be sold by such licensees. The penalty for a breach of this clause will probably be made very heavy. The
tion of affording greater scope and assistance to volunteer benevolent associations, giving them all possible facility for coming under the operation of the Act.
