so made that listeners cannot approach sutfiçiently near to bear and note. The reasons for this jeatons secrecy in which the officials envelop their proceedings, are manifest; and if the Imperial Government hus really the interests of the poople nt heart, the old law of publicity should be rigidly enforced. With open Courts and with reporters fearless enough to report truly, and conscientious enough to reject bribery; with a Government also ready to work and enquire into cases of injustice; the people of Chins would then, upart from steamers and science, have cause to look back with thankfulness to the first advent of foreigners to their land.—N. 0, D.

When my hon. friend gave notice of his faction of telling him that on behalf of the Governicent I at once consented to the motion. I think it is very desirable those papers should be laid before the Council, and when the notion was given I requested my friend the Colonial Secretary to pnt together all those papers, and they are now being propared for printing. When printed they will be laid before you. I have thought it well, at the same time, to add a little more than the papers called for. I understand my hon, friend's motion would begin with April, 1877, which was the date of my arrival. Well, it so happens that taking the year 1876, some light is thrown going back a few months before my arrival, on the way in which the Deportation Or- dinance was worked in the colony. In illustration I may mention a case in which on one day in 1870 there came before the Executive Connoil, under the presideney of Sir Arthur Kennedy, recommendations for the deportation of live offenders. The ro- commendations were duly considered by the Executive Conucil, and in the result three of the persons recommended to be deported, were not deported, and only twn out of the five were deported. I think it would be well for the Council to know the reasons which influeneed my predecessor in not carrying out the recommendations of the Magistrates in those cases. There are also a few earlier papers still which throw some light upon it.
