SIR-In the report of yesterday's Council Meeting in your issue of to-day, an important omission occurs towards the end of my reply to the debate wherein I said:-

"I say the remarks which have fallen trout His Excellency the Governor are a deliberate Bouting of the steadied opinion of the commercial men of the Colony, who have carefully considered the ques- tion and come to a decision, and to tell. them that they are mere pigmy cham- pions compared with the past is an in- sult to the Chamber of Commerce-ex- plain it how you may." I should be glad if you will make these corrections in the "fansard " copy.
