IMPERIAL PAR LIA ME N T

HOUSE OF. COMMONS—(THIS DAY.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

was read a second time.

NEW ZEALAND.
Sir J. TRELAWNY gave notice that on going into

house to the state of New Zealand.

SUPERANNUATION OFFICERS (PENSIONS

BILL.

Mr. M. MILNES, in moving the second reading of this
bill, said he believed that the principle of the measure could
not be impugned. It was most unjust to treat this class of
officials to whom the bill referred in a position different
to other public functionaries who received retiring allow-
ances.' He did not consider that there was any body of
men in the civil service who were more deserving of the
gratitude of the country than these men, who rendered the
most important services in the arduous position in which
they were placed. The time had gone by when the prison
officer formed the subject of portraiture by the novelist,
and was held up to the ridicule and abhorrence of the
humane and enlightened members of society. He did not
propose the remuneration to these men on retirement to be
paid out of the Consolidated Fund, but out of local taxation.
After a short discussion, the house divided—
For the motion 6l
Against it ......
Majority
The bill was consequently lost.
QUALIFICATION FOR OFFICES BILL.
This bill passed though committee, Mr. SOTHERON
ESTCOURT reserving his threatened opposition until the
third reading.

CHURCH RATES ABOLITION BILL.
On the motion that the house go into committee on this
bill,

Mr. NEWDEGATE rose and moved the following
amendment :

"That this house will, to-morrow, resolve itself into Com-
mittee, to consider the propriety of establishing in lieu of
church-rates, thenceforth to be abnlished, a charge on all
hereditaments, in respect of the occupancy of which church-
rates have been paid within the last seven years; such
charge to be levied with the county-rate at an uniform rate
of poundage, the occupier being in all cases entitled to de-
duct from his rent the amount of the charge levied on his
occupation."

He said he had been induced to adopt this course
in order that the agitation which had so long
elated on this subject; and in the interests of
peace, the interests of religion, he hoped the house would
grant him the committee he asked for.
