,Meceked August 29, 10.20 a.m.
Sydney, August 29,
In tho. Legislative Council tho Attorney-General explained tho provisions of tho Bill for the reform of the Council and it was read a first time.
Mr Pigott moved that the statement made by the Premier at a public meeting, "That the Council is a rotten and corrupt House" is scaudalous and false. He complained that Mr Ileid had repeatedly made equally strong statements, just before going to the country on the question of Council reform. They were as scandalous as false and the Council must clear itself of the imputations.
The Attorney-Geneial said it was simply election talk. Worse things bad been said about Mr Eeitl. Councillors had no right to attach to the words what they had attributed to thorn.
Tho motion was carried by 26 to 8, the majority of the hitter being new members.
