Hon. Mr. Pollock: Just to put the matter in form, I beg to second Jr. Birkett's amendment. I.should say. with regard to Clause 29, that I entirely agree that that clause, even if it were amended in the most drastic manner, would be wholly unworkable. (Applause.)

· is all I have to say, sir, except just to make one remark, if I may, by way of correction of what fell from you as to the date to which the Government adjourned the second reading. The second reading was taken at an early date because the JIun. Mr. Stephen and the Hon. Mr. Ho Fook, are leaving the Colony for a time on the 28th inst. We agreed to that com paratively short adjournment because it was understood-in fact a pledge was given by the Government-that if the unofficial members should desire certain provisions of the Bill to stand over to a later date, that desire of the! unofficial members would be acceded to by the Government:-(Applause).

Mr. W. B. Kennett: Is it in order to refer to any clanse nat, mentioned

in these proposals ?

The Chairman: Yes.

"QUESTION OF PROXIES.

Mr. Kennett: Then I would like to call attention to Clause 25.

Mr. J. A Flammer seconded the first, Mr. F. Ce Hall the second, 3r. Bowes-Smith the third, and Mr. Edkins the fourth and fifth.

The amendments to the sixth and
