All Land purchasing' Operations to be stoppec". The following are the reasms given by Henare Tomoana in the Hoise this after* noon for voting with the Opposition:—. '■ Mr Hall promised that he would be the first Maori Minister to te appointed instead of Mr Sheehan, to hire the absolute control of all lands not passed through the JNative Landß Court, and secondly, Crown granted lands to be managed jointly by Europeans and Maories, and ali land purchasing operations on the part of the Government to be abolished. Later. The division bell rang at fire minutes to nine, at which time the House was crowded in every part. Mr Pyke was the last man to come in, hesitating which way he would go, but when the members separated he went to the Opposition. Hamlin landed Te Wheoro safely in the Government lobby, where he was received . with much cheering. Pvke, it will be seen, thus carried the rote of the day. Latest. This day. Most probable the Ministry will be reconstructed, as many Government tap* porters urge the adoption of such a course.
