Tlio Abolition of tho Legislative Council Pill has aroused extraordinary public interest and the precincts of the House were thronged when the second reading of the bill came, on in the Chamber. Sir Joseph Carrutliers challenged the Oovernment’s right, on a point of order, to abolish the Chamber, stating that such action was constitutionally wrong. Sir Joseph then asked for the ruling of the President of the Chamber. The President ruled against Pir .T. Carrutliers, stating that although there may legally he some doulit he would allow the debate to continue. 'Pile principal interest now centres on whether the latest Labour appointees to tho Council will honour their pledges and vole for their own political extinclion, or as is generally thought, will ho the case, will abstain from taking any active part regarding the measure now before iho Chamber and thus give themselves a fresh lease of political life.
