In Shropshire Mr Cecil represented there had been a final audit by the board at home, himself to be a landscape painter," and as that was no longer so, he thought it would he mucli better that some final audit should be pro- vided for here. Whether this should be by a Select Committee or not was a matter for consideration in Cominittes. If members could be found who could spare the time, and would devote it to such a task, no inore desirable method could be propused; but he feared that no unpaid board would ever go through the labour that would be required. He promised his cordial assistanco in carrying the measure into effect. He would not stop to speak as to the interpretation put upon the 36th clause by the honorable member, nor would he admit that the private conversations of Mr Walker with the Under Secretary of Stato were to bind the Im- perial Parliament; it was said that the words of the clause had only been adopted after due consi- deration-whose consideration! Mr Walker's and the Under Secretary's? It was another question as to what was the construction the Parliament intended to put upon the clause. They were told that the word "review" was originally intended to bo in the clause-and he had no doubt that it was so-and the word "regulated" had, he had no more doubt, been allowed in by nceid nt, and a- gainst all practice with respect to the costs, char- ges, and expenses of collecting revenue. He had no wish to revive now the discussion of last night; there would no doubt be other opportunities fir speaking on the subject. (Hear.). No doubt it was desirable that the point which had deen raised should be settled, that the Governmen and the Council alike should know the extent of their au thority. The honorable member had said that it was the duty of the Government to have introduc ed such a measure; he had not said that it was not. and when asked the question the other day, he had replied that he was not then prepared with a mea- sure, but that the Government would be ready to go hand in hand with the Council in the matter, and he was only glad that this measure had now been introduced.
