Sir George Grey is now speaking upon the tendencies of centralism towards corruption as shown throughout its history! Sir George Grey argued at some length to show that the whole tendency of legislation of last Parliament was to elevate and eDrich the present classes against the interests of the mass of people. He wished all electorates to elect only those who would pledge themselves to insist, on a reform of land transactions, adjustment of taxation, and dealing with runs so that all. might have an equal chance; the election. of members for three years, alteration of ■ the constituents of Legislative Council, and he considered the Act of Indemnity of last session should be repealed," so that every case, might be inquired into, arid where penalties had been incurred under the .Disqualification Act such members as were re-elected to the hew parliament should be.expelled.
