' t.’TT- ♦ By Ei.ectrio Telegraph.—(Jopyrigh . (PER PRESS ASSOCIATION.) (Received April 17, 2 a.m.j Sydney, April 16. Sailed—B.M.S. Zealandia, for San Francisco, via Auckland. Melbourne, April 16. A deputation waited on Mr Gillies, the Premier, to-day, requesting him to protest against the clause in the Western Australian Bill preventing the Legislature imposing restrictions on emigration of British subjects to the colonies without reference to the Imperial authorities. In reply, Mr Gillies said he did not think the clause in question applied to Chinese emigration. However, he would consult the Governments of the other colonies, and then refer the matter to Lord Knutsford. Eeferriag to the Primate difficulty in New Zealand, the Argus, while accepting Bishop Suter’a statement that the election was irregular, states it does not justify the position assumed before the public, and by no manner of special pleading can he get rid of the fact that he consented to and took part in the election. The spirit, of ecclesiastical law: in New Zealand certainly is that the Primate be elected by the Church, and whether
Bishop Suter is technically right or wrong there is no possible doubt he violated the' spirit of the law and brought the Anglican community into embarrassment.
