Parliamentary.
(OTJB PABIIAMENIABY BBPOBTBB.)
-r Volunteer Appointments. Wellington, This Day. I leant authoritatively that Col. Eobin is to ho appointed to the command of the Otago "Volunteer district, and Col. Davis (of Hawera) goes to Auckland in the seme position. Colonel Webb now in charge of Otago is to be transferred to Christchurch, vice Major Gordon retired. The Privilege Question. Dealing editorially with the privilege matter, the New Zealand Times opines the outcome of the inquiry will probably be that a bold advertisement has been given to the enterprise of the Dunedin Star’s representative. The particular standing order in question has become a laughing stock because it is an absurd antiquated and undesirable practice. The House for thirty years has been winking at in-fractions of the order, and it is time therefore to abolish it, substituting a rational up-to-date daylight procedure for one that is irrational and undesirably secret. The first recommendation of the privileges committee ought to be that meetings of Parliamentary committee* should be thrown open to the Press on the same terms and subject to the same limitations as prevail in law courts.
