MEETING OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
A meeting of the Legislative Council was held at the Council Chamber, Goverment offices, this afternoon, the business on the agenda being the second reading of the several bills particularized in our issue of Saturday last, after which the Council was to meet in finance committee for the despatch of financial business. There were sent His Excellency the Administrator. (the Hon. W. H. Marsh); the Hon. George Philippo, Chief Justice; the Hon. F. Stewart, Acting Colonial Secretary the tion. E. Le O'Malley, Treasurer; the Hon J. M. Price, Surveyor Attorney Generalf the Hon.J. Russell, Colonial
General, and the Hon. I Ryrie and the Hon. F. B. Johnson, unofficial members. Mr. Deacon, of the firm of Brereton, Watton Dracon, and Mr. W. Danby, attended in con- nection with the Tramways" bill. The minutes of the last meeting having been read by the Clerk of Councils and confirmed, Mr. Johnson, upon a nod from the Administrator, rose and referred to the notice he gave at the last meeting:
