N.S.W. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
UNPRECEDENTED ACTION. MORE HERALD GRLIIOiSAI. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. SYDNEY. Dec. 22. The Herald, again unreservedly condemning the swamping: oT the Legislative Council, declares: “It is unprecedented, both ais regards number and the reasons given for the appointments.” Touching on the suggestion that the Governor may have been guided by precedent, the Herald says : "He might as well have been guided by the New Zealand case in which Lord Glasgow, the then Governor, refused to make Council appointments proposed by the Ballance Government. Subsequently, on the advice of Lord Ripon, then head of the Colonial Office, His Excellency granted the Government’s request.” The newspaper points out that Lord Ripon’s advice stressed the fact that the new appointments did not bring the membership beyond what it previously had been, and they were for seven years only, not for life, as in the case of New South Wales. Both these provisos were overridden.
