LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
SEVERE CRITICISM AND AN ANGRY KETORT.
Indignation at certain remarks reported a in a Wanganui paper as having been b made by Mr. A. L. Herdman, M.1., dur- s ing an address at Wanganui was express- t cd in the legislative Council yesterday r afternoon by the Hon. J ; E. "i s The lion, gentleman flourished a copj of „ the speech and characterised the matter s therein as scurrilous and vile. J. lie person who made those remarks was not a gentleman ivlicn he said what was reported. Ho had said that the Zealand Legislative Council consisted of two sections, the men who wero in for life, and the men who'wero in for seven years. But the really scurrilous parts of the remarks of this man. were that the lite members were admirable gentlemen, wise and upright . . . but the other members wero bondslaves, did exactly what the Government 1 desired them to do. and made the Council silly and a superfluity. "Stuff like this," continued Mr. Jenkinsnn. "is not fit to be read in the Council." He had referred to it because ho thought members should show, by sticking to their work, that there was 110 ground for the opinions which some people held.
