THE HONGKONG GOVERNMENT GAZETTE, 28TH APRIL, 1866.

His Excellency states in reply, that perfect freedom of speech in the Votes and Proceedings of the Council is enjoyed by every Member, but that the question of the custom of the Service, or the well understood practice in regard to explanations which might subsequently be asked of Official Members,-is a question unconnected with their conduct in this Chamber, and therefore not suitable for discussion here.

His Excellency then adjourns the Council.

Read and approved, this 26th Day of April, 1866. `
