Mr. JOHNSON as a point of order rises to call attention to a notice of a resolution he had wished to move to-day.
The Governor explains that he would have been unable to put the motion referred to, as it was irregular and out of order and it therefore could not appear on the Order Book, being a motion for papers sent by the Honourable Member to the Secretary of State for His Lordship's decision which was not yet signified; and His Excellency refers to the practice in the Imperial Parliament as well as the precedent in 1859 in this Colony when the Lieutenant-Governor declined at this Council table to allow a similar motion to be pat.
Mr. Jonsson gives notice of his intention to enter a protest against His Excellency's decision.
