Parliamentary Gossip.
(fBOH OUB OWN COBRISPONDENf.)
Wellington, This day.
Yesterday's proceedings were singularly unique. In the first place we had a real lire breach of privilege case in connection with the Daigaville Inquiry Committee. The evening paper published what purported to be a report of the day's proceedings in Committee. f-This Mr Dargayille brought «p as a breach of privilege, and succeeding in working the agony up so well that the Government tabled a formal motion for having the publishers summoned to the bar of the House. The motion was adjourned, but it is understood that it will come on for disposal to-day. The rich part of the arrangement is that Mr Dargaville himself is said to have communicated the report. It was so given in the first instance to the representative of the Auckland Star, and by him sent round the press-room as an item of current gossip. No. 2 farce consisted in an attempt amongst Otago members to block one of their bills. It wes kept op for some hours, to the intense delight of a gallery audience, who marked its appreciation by an attempt at applause;' Eventually, however, matters were arranged, and after the midnight adjournment, business was allowed to proceed.
