LAST NIGHT'S SITTING.

The House resumed at 7 30. Sir G. Grhy continued his speech on moving the second reading of the Law Practitionei's Bill. He quoted the beneficial results arising in America from all ranks of life being free, and held that similar good results would accrue here. If his bill were read a second time he would allow it to stand over until the bill on the same subject promised by the Government was brought before the House, so that it could select the best measures, or it necessary amalgamate the two. Mr Eolleston said the Government bill would consolidate, and to some extent amend the law relating to the admission of legal practitioners, but it would not embody such proposals as were contained in Sir George Grey's bill. He was altogether opposed to those proposals and to the bill. I Mr Weston, at considerable length, spoke strongly against the bill. Messrs Thomson and Barron spoke in favor of the bill, and Mr Bathgate, as a lawyer of 40 years' experience, was in favor of throwing open the Bar to all. Mr Williams believed the House would regret passing the bill, but as being personally interested he would leave the matter to the House without attempting to influence the decision. Te ' Wheoro Supported the bill, believing it might enable some of the rising generation, of native youths to enter the profession. r - Mr' Seddon strongly supported the bill, Quoting the experience of Warden's Courts to show how useful would be. Mr Connolly very strongly opposed the bill, as injurious alike to the public and profession. Mr Rutherford spoke against the bill. Sir G.eorge Grey replied at length, and the second reading was carried on the voices.
