We_cington, Sepb 10

The House resumed at 2.30 p m

Tho debate on the Dunedin Star breach of privilege case waa continued throughout the afternoon

Mr Fraaer said that the representative of the Star knew that he was committing a breach of privilege, and ought to have counted the ooab

Mr Hornaby believed thab the publication of this evidence had been more than justified The Premier said that the amendment, if carried, would be a grosa violation of precedent, because before passing judgment they ought to allow the individual concerned to appear at the bar of the Houaei He condemned bhe conduct of tho Opposition in making the qu.at.on of privilege one of party

Several other member, also spoke, and in the course of the debate Mr Pirani said that there were only two people who could have given the evidence to the Dunedin Star, viz, Mr .Palmer (chairman of the Goldfields Committee), and the clerk of the committer. From all bhe circumatanoea he (Mr Pirani) could not ace how the clerk could have been the person who gave it. Mr Jackson Palmar strongly objected to the insinuation thab he had divulged the report.
