His lordship, on taking his seat on Dec. 13 in hu King's Bench, said he could not nderstand what foundation there was for that report. All he now desired to say was that if

any expression of his was capable of such

a construction he should most abso-

of this country was conducted by men of

honour and in an honourablo way. was quite convinced that journalists did feel themselves bound by and did act on the same dictates of honour as other hon. ourable men. Undoubtedly, in particular cases the conduct of journalists was to be criticised.

Ife had said anything, or was supposed to have said anything, contrary to the view he was then expressing, it was an entire mistake. No such idea ever entered into his mind. He mentioned this now because it was quite impossible for him to look at He had not sufficient time to reports. discharge his own duties properly, and could not enter into discussions whether a report was accurate or not, He only men. tioned the matter because he had received a certain number of letters with regard to

It could not be enforced like Munici- pal law, and had no sanction but war. Still, there were rules which could be agreed upon by all the civilised States, and which might have a higher sanction, even than Municipal law, because when once T adopted no States would willingly incur

the odium of setting them at defiance. The machinery existed in these days of arbitra- tion and of Hague tribunals, and when Peace once more happily came he hoped these rules might be established.

The vote of thanks was unanimously carried.

His Excellency the Governor proposed a vote of thanks to the Chairman, to whose energy, coupled with the energy of the Honorary Secretary, so much of the success of the Association was due.

He still re- ceived chits for advice and suggestions for further steps to be taken for the advance- ment of the Association. When he could help he would do so, but without them ho was sure the Association would not make
