PARLIAMENT. [BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
YESTERDAY, The House met at 2.30. Replying to questions, Ministers said it was not intended this se&sion to introduce a bill dea.i <q with Sunday trading; they would not propose the establishment of a general penny post, as it wonld involve a loss of £20,000 a year. On the motion of Mr Pyke a select committee was appointed to consider, enquire into, and report on all petitions alleging grievances resulting from the existing system of education. Mr Sutton moved " That in the opinion of this House it is necessary that permanent provision be made for the effective maintenance of hospitals, and that provision be made for the election of local boards of government, who shall have the entire control of the hospitals and hospital buildings, and shall be empowered to invest any funds which may be placed at their disposal for the benefit of their local trust ; that the board shall be entirely independent of Government control, except as regards medical inspection ; that the necessary funds' for either buildings or maintenance bs provided locally ; that Government be requested to bring in a bill this session in accordance with these resolutions." An animated debate ensued, which was interrupted by the adjournment. The House met at 7.30 p.m. Mr Ivess moved the second reading of the Election Petitions Act Amendment Bill, which was carried. Sir G. Grey moved the second reading of the Constitution Act Amendment Bill. As the subject had been fully discussed on the motion for its introduction, he would not make any remarks at this stage. Col. Trimble thought Sir G. Grey was trifling with the House, and moved that the bill be read that day six months. After a spirited debate, the House divided on the question that the bill be now read a second time. Ayes, 36 ; noes, 49. The bill was ordered to be read that day six months. (Left Sitting.)
