pleasant affair I have recently brought under your Lordship's consideration, and, notwithstanding very great provocation, I have, far as rested with myself, declined to pumil the recent discussion in
the Legislative Council to any personal phase.
Au
assume
I rely upon your Lordship's decisions on the questions, Iam about to leave in your hands, to
hm
protect freedom of debats in the bouncil and the exercise of the
right of its members to criticise
openly
family
and
the
measures and
policy of the Exnutive Government of the levlony. I moreover trust that Juran
Lordship will lay down such Explicit rules, for the guidance of procudings in debate,
as will
prevent in future members of the bouncil from having to choose between the alternative positions of having to remain silent on subjects on which they feel it to be their duty to speak, or of being forced
into
wrangling
tion with the chair.
