POSTPONEMENT OF PARLIAMENT.
MEETING OF PROTEST PROPOSED. By Telegraph—Press Association. WELLINGTON, June 10. A meeting of protest against the postponement of Parliament is to be held at the Town Hall on Tuesday evening. The Mayor will preside, and all the Wellington city members of Parliament will sneak. The meeting is the outcome of a gathering of commercial and professional men held yesterday. The proceedings then were of a private nature, but reported that there was a unanimous opinion expressed that the postponement of the business of the country until September or October next in order to allow the Prime Minister to go to London was altogether an undesirable thing to do. It was re3olved to put the matter before the citizena. hence the meeting. Mr W. F. Maasey, when approached by the promoters, favoured the idea of a meeting. The meeting yesterday agreed that the proceedings should be of the nature of a citizen's protest, uad not asso:iated with the Opposition party as such. There is a probability, however, of Mr Massey being one of the speakers.
