THE QUESTION OF PRECEDENCE
The Social Position among Demo
crats.” [OUB PARLIAMENTARY REPORTER.]
Wellington, This Day.
An interesting bit of “ fencing ” occurred between Mr Meredith and the Premier yesterday afternoon. Mr Meredith wanted to know why the Premier opposed a motion for a return of all correspondence between the Government and the Colonial Office during the past twelve months in reference to the question of precedence. The Premier replied that it rested with the Hon. member to prove that there had been such correspondence. Before a return could bo supplied there must be material for the return, but Mr Meredith had given them no information on that subject.
Mr Meredith asked the Premier to state whether any correspondence had taken place, and said if he would do so he would bo satisfied.
The Premier, however, was not to be drawn, \ it was, he said, merely a “fishing expedition ’’ started by some rumor, and Mr Meredith thought this the best means of finding out about it.
