In reference to your Despatch of 25th November last, I propose to forward some additional statements and to furnish some further information in connection with my suggestions for the reorganization of the Legislative Council of this Colony. My principal object is to introduce the popular element into its Government, and to make that element subservient to its purposes.
The Right Honourable Henry Labouchere, M.P.
