His Excellency the Governor. The Bill was then read a ascond time. The Council having gone into committee on the second reading of the bill the Chief: Justice remarked that there was no evid- eneo before the Council that the allegations set forth in the recital were facts, He wished to have some evidence.
His Excellency the Governor then moved that the officials of the China Traders' Com- pany should he called upon to prepare themselves with evidence before the Council either visu voce or documentary, to prove the allegations set out in the preambls.
The Hon. W. Keswick thought that time should be given to those at a distance to state their views, and he should like to have the proposition of the Chief Justice, of advertisements being given in the local papers, carried out. In all probability some shareholders might have objections to any change. He did not say that there were, but it was only fair to give them a chance to state their views also.
The Chief Justice said the views of the assured should also be taken.

A draft of a new Ordinance under this title was introduced by His Excellency.
The Hon. J. Bramston explained the objects and reasons of this Ordinance pretty much in the same words as those he had
given when the Repealing Ordinance just passed, was introduced. The printing of this Ordinance has not been completed, but a copy will be sent to each member before long,

Mr Brereton contended that the transfer had been made with the consent of the defendant, the plaintiff having seen him on the subject.
Mr Holmes on the other hand, submitted that the document was not a negociable in strument; it was not payable to order or bearer or on demand. It was only payable to one Akwal, who obtained advances from the plaintiff on consignment of goods. The order in question was given him in anticipa tion of his shipping goods. He had, how ever, sent only four out of sixtoon cases of silk which he had engaged to ship and on which the advance of $1000 was given. The instrument was an order on the com-
pradore in the usual form, and was only payable to Akwai.

He did not pretend to say that he might not be in error in the views which he might take; of course he was liable to great error, but he did not come before that Council without some special knowledge upon theso matters.

It might be that the practice here in regard to pri- vate Bills was not laid down in regula tions it was not usual for that to be done in Colonios.
