Privileges granted by

this Ordinance not to exceed those of Commons House of Parliament.

Council, or publishes any libel on a member of the Council touching his conduct as such member (so however that nothing in this para- graph shall apply to a fair and accurate report of the proceedings of the Council published in any newspaper, or fair comment thereon), shall be guilty of an offence and shall be liable on sum- mary conviction to a fine not exceeding one hundred pounds or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding three months, or to both such fine and imprisonment.

11. For the avoidance of doubt it is hereby de- clared that nothing herein contained shall be deemed or taken, or held, or construed directly or indirectly, by implication or otherwise, to grant any privileges or immunities to the Council exceeding the privileges or immunities of the Commons House of Parliament of the United Kingdom of Great Britian and Northern Ireland or of the members thereof.

This printed impression has been carefully compared by me with the Bill which has passed the Legislative Council and has been found by me to be a true and correctly printed copy of the said Bill.

G. C. LAWRENCE, Clerk of Councils.
