HOUSE OE REPRESENTATIVES.
The House met at 2.30. Replying to questions, Ministers said a sum would be placed on the estimates to aid local bodies in obtaining rock boring apparatus and diamond drill, local bodies to pay one-third of the cost ; if it could be done for a reasonable sum Government would propose a vote to remove the snags in the Wairoa river so as to allow steamers to go up to Te Kapu ferry. On Mr Connolly's motion the Justice of the Peace Bill was re-committed, on a division of 39 to 36, in order to strike out the provision inserted last night allowing justices to hear indecent cases in private. The proviso was struck out, and the bill read a third time and passed. On the motion for the committal of the Thorndon Reclamation Bill, Mr Bathgate objected, denouncing the proposals as a job for the benefit of the promoters of the West Coast Railway. The bill was reported without amendment. The House adjourned at 5.30.
