S. Rutherfurd leading for the affirmative and being supported by Messrs. Richard Masters and W. E. Hewitt. Mr. McAllister led the opposition and was supported, by Messrs. L. E. Lyons and C. Jackson. The subject was dealt with in a comprehensive manner, the Commonwealth Bank of Australia being taken .as the chief example for State banking and the Bank of New Zealand standing the major part of the criticism as the -leading factor in the present system of backing in New Zealand. The Bank of New Zealand was stoutly championed by Mr. McAllister and his supporters. On a vote being taken at the conclusion of the debate the supporters of State banking were declared the winners by a majority of nearly two to one. ‘The debate was of an instructive and interesting nature, being one of a series of such conducted by the Egmont Club at frequent intervale.
