This at once drew Mr Massev to his feet- with a vigorous protest, against- legislation by exhaustion :n such an extremo form. "If any attempt, is made." he sawl, "to go in for all-im.ht sittings I will do my duty by stopping the business of the House beiny c;tnic<ron in such a manner."
Sir Joseph Ward ;aid that lie objected to being told by the Leader of the Opposition that he would not allow certain things to be done when he (the Prime Minister) had never attempted or thought of attempting to do such things. Thc'e threatening observations from tiie Opposition Leader were, he said, quite uncalled for.
