The Premier, after listening to Mr Reeves for about an hour, jocularly said he should be happy to allow that Bill to remain on the Order Paper, but Mr Reeves then objected to the removal of the Calitornian Thistle Bill, and proceeded to speak on it. Finally tha Speaker pnlled Mr Reeves up sharply and said he was trifling with Parliament. The latter then innocently asked the Speaker what lie should talk about, to which Sir M.
