HOLMAN-MEAGHER AFFAIR.
(By Cable.—Prew Aw©ci*U<m.—Copyright-' j SYDNEY, July 9. Mr Wade's action in moving his amendment arose out of what is known as tho Holman-Meaghor controversy, tho outcome of Mr Meagher's attitude towards tho Legislative Council nominations, which at one time threatened to 6plit tho Parliamentary Labour Party. Mr Holman, in speeches made during the recess, showed strong resentment against the Labour Conference's attempt to control nominations to tho Council, and warmly criticised Mr Meagher's attitude in the matter. Mr Holman, in the Legislative Assembly, mado a vigorous reply to Mr Wade. Ho denied that anything in the nature of a charge, as suggested by Mr Wade, could b© read into the words ho used. No impropriety was either implied or intended against any member of the House. In all sincerity, he assured the House that the.honour of Parliament was safe in the keeping of tho Government. If he was aware of anything that called for investigation, he would take immediate action without any prompting.
