LOYALTY TO THE THRONE.
H.E. THE OFFICER ADMINISTERING THE GOVERNMENT.- With the approval of the Council I propose that the following message be sent to the Secretary of State for the Colonies for transmission to His Majesty the King, timing it so that if he graciously pleases to send us a reply we should get it in time for the centenary celebrations. The form of the resolution I suggest is: That the Legislative Council of this Colony, on the occasion of the hundredth anniversary of the Colony's foundation, humbly renews the expression of its loyalty to
(Applause). the Throne, and its devotion to the Empire's cause.
