One unofficial member (Mr. Belilios) opposed to the proposal to raise the loan, that Messrs Chater and Whitehead urged postponement, that Mr Bell-Irving voted for the second reading, and that the remaining unofficial member, D. Hohai, abstained from voting on the second reading though at a later stage he stated that he was in favour of the Bill and opposed only to the inclusion of the item, "Extension and improvement of the Gaol" in the schedule.
