558 PARLIAMENTS OF THE DOMINIONS [PART ITI of the law officers, the Bill being in the meantime expressed to continue only till the end of the financial year. A case was prepared in which attention was called to s. 54 of the Constitution Act, which merely provides for the Governor’s recommendation to the Lower House of any appropriation, and to s. 4 of the Parliamentary Privileges Act, 1865, which provided that :— The Legislative Council and the House of Representatives of New Zealand respectively shall hold, enjoy, and exercise the like privileges, immunities, and powers as on January 1, 1865, were held, enjoyed, and exercised by the Commons House of Parliament of Great Britain and Ireland, and by the committees and members thereof, so that the same are not inconsistent with or repugnant to such and so many of the provisions of the sections of the Constitution Act as at the coming into operation of this Act are unrepealed, whether such privileges, immunities, or powers were so held, possessed, or enjoyed by custom, statute, or otherwise: and such privileges, immunities, and power shall be deemed to be, and shall be part of the general and public law of the Colony, and it shall not be necessary to plead the same, and the same shall in all Courts and by and before all judges be judicially taken notice of. The report of the law officers, dated June 18, 1872, was as follows —. We are of opinion that independently of the Parliamentary Privileges Act, 1865, the Legislative Council was not con- stitutionally justified in amending the Payment to Provinces Bill, 1871, by striking out the disputed clause 28 (which authorized a new disposition of the loan moneys raised under the Act of 1870). We think the Bill was a Money Bill, and such a Bill in the House of Commons in this country would not have been allowed to be amended by the House of Lords, and that the limitation proposed to be placed by the Legislative Council on Bills of aid or supply is too narrow, and would not be recognized by the House of Commons in England. 2. We are of opinion that the Parliamentary Privileges Act, 1865, does not confer on the Legislative Council any larger powers in this respect than it would otherwise have possessed. We think that this Act was not intended to affect and did not affect the legislative powers of either House of the Legislature in New Zealand.
