INDECENT PUBLICATIONS BILL.
BEFUKE THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON. Last Night.
In the Legislative Council this afternoon, the Indecent Publications Bill was committed. At Clause 3, the Attorney-General moved the omission of the word "knowingly," in the subsection relating to the sending or delivering or causing to be sent or delivered of any indecent document. The object was, he explained, to remove the necessity of proving guilty knowledge of so sending or delivering. The amendment was agreed to. Clause 13 was amended by removing the initiative of prosecution from the police, and providing that no prosecution shall be commenced except with the leave of the Attorney-General. The £lll was reported as amended.
