only on condition of local contribution ; it also pro-
" posed to abolish the office of Superintendent-General

ex officio, at the head of that department. The
Colonial Secretary and the Attorney-General warmly
defended the bill, but it was thrown out on the
second reading by a majority of 25 to 9.
