THE HINE CHARGES.
IX THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. "UPHOLDING ITS DIGNITY." By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. The Council this afternoon proceeded to consider the Hine charges so far as they related to the Hon. T. K. Mac Donald, a member of that chamber. The Attorney-General moved to refer the matter to the Privileges Committee, as it was unconstitutional. He was going to ask the Council to deal with the reflection as an indignity to the Council itself. It was due to the assailed memto say 'he had expressed an urgent desire to have the charge referred to a select committee. It would, however, be time to refer to the personal aspect when the dignity of the Council had been upheld. Several members urged that while it was desirable that the dignity of the Council should be upheld, no time should be lost in dealing with the personal aspect. The Attorney-General said the first consideration was the dignity of the Council. The Privileges Committee could report to-morrow afternoon, and then a special committee, to deal with the personal aspect, could be appointed. The motion was agreed to.
