L176 THE EXECUTIVE GOVERNMENT [PARTI expressed in strong but courteous terms at the action of the Governor in declining to accept the advice of the leader of the then Government to take steps to secure that the Upper House should yield to the wishes of the Lower House as regards legislation. The Governor refused, and on the resignation of the Ministry as a result of his action sent for Mr. Philp, the leader of the Opposition in the House, who book upon himself the formation of the Ministry, though the Lower House refused him its confidence and protested against being dissolved.

This action terminated the matter, as no reply from the Secretary of State was ever published! Similarly in 1908 an attempt was made to disapprove the action of the Governor of Victoria, Sir Thomas Carmichael, because of his decision in giving a dissolution in the previous year to Sir Thomas Bent. The Governor, at the request of the House, submitted to the Parliament a statement of the reasons for his action, and the matter then terminated.
