PARLIAMENTARY PRIVILEGE.
The Legislative Council, by introducing a Bill involving the appropriation of money, lias' been held to be guilty of a breach of privilege. The Prime Minister has not treated the matter seriously. In his opinion the ends to be attained have justified the means employed. It is open to question whether Sir Joseph Ward, whose first duty it should be to safeguard the privileges of the House, has not treated the matter in too light a mauner. If the privileges are to be disregarded on this occasion, there is no telling where the thing will end. The protest of Mr Massey, and other members of the House, is fully warranted.
