SPEAKER INTERVENES
Private Estate Bill in Council The opinion that tlie motion was tantamount to asking the Council to convert all its Standing Orders affecting private estate Bills into scraps of paper and would result in the flouting of the Supreme Court, was expressed by tlie Speaker. Hon. Sir Walter Carncross. in the Legislative Council yesterday, when tlie Hon. W. H. Mclntyre (Nelson) moved that Standing Orders be suspended to allow the Nelson Diocesan Trust Board Empowering Bill to proceed. Sir Walter drew attention to tbe fact that the Bill was a private estate Bill and said that a certificate was re quired from a judge of the Supreme Court in terms of the Legislature Aet 1908. “I recognise that I am the ser vant of tlie Council and that any order they make must be given effect to. but I consider that I should have absolutely failed in my duty if I had not drawn attention to the position as I view it,” he added. Tlie motion, seconded by the Hon. Sir Janies Allen (Otago), was lost.
