The language used by Sir Julius Vogel the other day, and which caused such a hubbub is nothing to that which is often used in the Victorian Legislative Assembly. This is a sample:—Mr Gaunson said that the Premier and his colleagues attained office by one of the most contemptible and unconstitutional actions ever perpetrated. The Premier was a most miserable schemer. He desired to know if the Premier was going to restrain his supporter, who, he believed, had once diddled a barmaid out <>f 31. Mr Hall: I must call the member to order. Djea he charge me with diddli ig any barmaid out of 31 ? He is bringing this II nine into contempt if the time of the coun'rv i< to be wasted with such statements. Mr Gaunson : Any observation coming from the father of the free pass swindle is not entitled to weight. Mr Hall: I will tell you what action you took if you are not careful. An Emerald Hill larrikin is worse than anybody.
