Parliamentary Notes.
[By Telegbaph.] (FROM OTTE OWN COEBESPONDENT.) Wellington, This day. Had Joyce voted there would hare been 45 Opposition votes recorded, as it was there were only 44, thus the Government majority is four instead of six, as Sutton and Whyte of Waikato both paired and roted. Sutton, when he sought to make an explanation, was hissed in the House, the first time i heard members hiss another. Sir George M. O'Borke steadfastly set his authority against the hissing which may have been caused by many bets being made that Government would or would not win by six. One effect of the vote was to shew the interest the lords took in the contest, as the majority of them canvassed very eagerly all through the week for support for the Government.
