I could recognize with reference home the existence of such a body as the Colonial Committee.
As, however, the Secretary of State has intimated an inclination to sanction an increase to the Members Official (and unofficial) of the Legislative Council, I would make the latter 3 instead of 2, and to them I would leave the institution and arrangement of the Committee proposed.
Touching the opening of the Council to the public, I would propose 3 stages in every Ordinance – 1st The introduction, in which the general expediency and the principle might be discussed, and to this I would admit the public - 2nd the Discussion in Committee, which being of a conversational and delicate nature, should be conducted clausis foribus. And lastly the recapitulation or adoption or final rejection of each separate clause, when each member would have the opportunity (the public present) of stating his individual opinion and defending it with his arguments.
