" Members are entitled to information as much as I am, so long as it is not against the best interests of tho Colony," said the Premier the other day. Who, may wo ask, is tho judge as to the side on which tho best interests of the Colony leau. The anssver is, of course, " Mr Seddon" ; and his decision is usually accepted as final. The question as to whether the Premier or the House is the stronger, has yet to be fought out. So far, on points of information, the Premier has been wont to defy tho House; but is such a defiance in harmony with either the democratic ideal or with constitutional procedure ?
