HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERDAY.)
VICTORIA GOVERNMENT BILL.
( Continued from, our third edition of last evening.)
Mr. LOWE said a very good rule had been laid down,
that we ought to abstain from legislating for the colonies
on any matter on which they were competent to legis-
late for themselves. That was a very wise rule, and the
converse was equally true. Whilst the Imperial Go-
vernment ought to refrain from legislating on subjects
within the jurisdiction of the colonial assemblies, they
ought to refrain from legislating on subjects within the
jurisdiction of the Imperial Government. This bill re-
quired Parliament to legislate upon a vast number of
subjects under the cognisance of the colonial legislature,
and permitted the colonial legislature to lay down laws
on subjects of imperial consequence. (Hear, hear.) A
measure more vicious in principle could not be proposed.
A clear line of distinction had been drawn between
local powers and the powers of Parliament, and that
line ought not to be departed from. Of all the bills
that ever had been laid before Parliament this appeared
'to him to be the most strange and absurd. The legis-
lative council at Port Philip was created by an im-
perial act of 1850. Two-thirds of the members were
elected and one-third were nominees. Power was given to
them to make laws subject to two limitations—they were
not to he allowed to pass laws repugnant to the laws of
England, nor to interfere with the management of the
Crown land of the revenue derived therefrom. But the
preamble of this bill violated the powers annexed to the
colonial legislature, for it contained provisions repugnant
to our acts of Parliament, and also dealt with the waste
lands in the colony. (Hear.) This bill violated the or-
ganic law of its creation, and was in its inception null
and void. It recited that, " Whereas it is not competent
to her Majesty to assent to the reserve bill without the
authority of Parliament, and whereas it is expedient her
Majesty should assent to it, Parliament will empower her
Majesty so to assent." Now he submitted to the house
that the bill could not pass in its present shape.
The bill annexed in the schedule had never been as-
sented to by the colonial Legislature at all. The noble
lord, after striking out seven clauses, said it was expe-
dient that her Majesty should sanction the bill. Now it
was possible to pass this act as an original act, but it
was impossible to say that two parties had assented to
it. It would be necessary for the noble lord to alter the
title, the preamble, and the operative clause. But he
would advise the noble lord not to run the risk of raising
so vast a difficulty, and he, was satisfied that any lawyer
looking at this bill, the object of which was to re-
gulate the destinies of the noblest colony belonging
to the British Crown, would pronounce it altogether
null and void. (Hear, hear.) Another objection to
the bill was, that the schedule, though a part of it,
would not be law as soon as the bill received the
royal assent, but would require to be afterwards specially
assented to by the Queen. So much for the form and
structure of the act, foe the provisions of which the house
would, if it adopted it, be responsible. Was the house
prepared to assent to the grant of 50,0001. or 10,0001.
for public worship, which was a part of that boundless
prodigality and extravagance by which the colony of
Victoria had been reduced to ruin ? He objected to the
house being dragged into dealing with these matters
which it had delegated to the colonial legislature, and
being made responsible for such a payment. How satis-
factorily all such powers might be exercised had been
proved in the case of Van Diemen's Land. Why was the
house to be insulted by having thrown before it a bill
with such a clause as the 43d, which enacted, that "sub-
ject to the provisions of this act, and notwithstanding
any act of Parliament in force to the contrary, it shall
be lawful" to impose and levy duties and customs ? How
long did they expect that our colonial empire would en-
dure if colonial legislatures were encouraged to deal ehus
with the acts of the Imperial Legislature ? He did not
speak upon a point of mere dignity, for these questions
involved the permanence of the connection between the
mother country and the colonies. The colonists had
power to legislate for themselves, but did not choose to
do so, because they wished to deal with imperial matters
beyond their powers. If they wanted an extension of
powers they ought to have sought it by petitioning the
Imperial Legislature, and not by passing acts in defiance
of those of the Imperial Legislature and then presenting
to the house the way in which it should assent to them.
Annexed to the schedule was a civil list of 112,0001.
The colony contained 300,000 inhabitants, and in 1849,
its revenue amounted to 130,0001. This civil list was
adopted in 1853, at a time when the colony was at the
acme of prosperity—when everything at Victoria, ex-
cept money, was of enormous value, and the legisla-
ture had got into a most frantic and foolish state of .ex-
citement. In 1853 the revenue amounted to 2,679,0001.;
the expenditure to 3,564,8581., leaving a deficit of
1,085,8581. It was, then, with dreams more golden
than those of Sir Epicure Mammon, floating before
them, that the legislature adopted this civil list. The
estimates for the year 1854 were :—Ways' and means,
3,016,2831.; expenditure, 4,801,2921.; deficit, 1,715,1091.
This state of things alarmed even the legislature of Vic-
toria. They passed a resolution that the expenditure
must be diminishedeand imposed additional taxes to the
amount of 270,0001. or 300,0001., which reduced tee de-
ficit to about a million and a half. In the meantime,
the Government set to work to retrench, and reduced
the estimates (which were afterwards still further re-
duced by the -legislature) by 1,108,0001.—a thing unpa-
ralleled in the history of human absurdity and folly.,
They cut down the salary of the Speaker from 1,5091. to
1,0001. a-year, and that of the Colonial Treasurer from
1,5001. to 1,2001.; but all those which wore in this sche-
dule, including a salary of 75,000/. to the governor
(10,0007. for salary and 5,0001, for &c.), remained in-
tact. The colonial legislature had reduced its esti-
mates by one million out of three, and yet the noble lord
asked the house, by way of carrying out its inten-
tions, and in deference to the principle of letting the
colonies do what they liked, to pass this sum in its in-
tegrity. (Hear.) It was impossible ; and were he not
used to colonial questions, he could not believe that the
noble lord would, after what he had stated, persevere in
much a request. The noble lord ought to send back the
bill to the Colonial Legislature ; ought to introduce into
the house a hill giving to that legislature any increased
powers which it was thought desirable it should possess;
end, to avoid delay, oughtlo send out to the Governor-
General of the Australian colonies an act empowering
him, on behalf of her Majesty, to assent to any bill on
this subject which the Legislature of Victoria might
nass, provided it did not exceed the powers given by the
Imperial Legislature. (Hear.)
Mr. BALL supported the bill, and expressed surprise
that Mr. Lowe should oppose-a measure having for its
object to give validity to the proceedings of the Victoria
Legislature.
Sir J. PAKINGTON said he had heard nothing to
induce him to vote against the second reading of
tell. He looked on these two bills as the complement
of an arrangement entered into in 1852 by the Govern-
ment of Lord Derby, for the purpose of meeting the ex-
press wishes of the colonists on subjects in which they
took a deep interest ; and he could 'not help thinking
that should they be rejected, except on very strong and
sufficient grounds, something like gi:eat dissatisfaction
would be felt by the colonists. He believed that g-n-
-tlemen connected with the colonies of Australia, now in
London, were decidedly favourable to the passing of
these billet The noble lord the Secretary for the Co-
lonies bad bad a deputation of those gentlemen ; and he
Sir J. Paki-ngton had also bad the honour of receiving
a deputation. But a gentleman connected with the co-
lony of Victoria bad waited on him some time ago and
pointed out the objections which he entertained to this
bill. From all that he could gather from that gentleman,
his objections were only three. The first objection was
to the terms and form in which the bill was drawn ; the
second turned on the high qualification of the two coun-
cils ; and the third related to the high civil list reserved
in this bill for the colony of victoria. With respect to
the qualifications for the members of the council and the
assembly and to the civil list, these were exclusively co-
lonial questions, which should not be altered or deviated
from, but assented to as proposed by the colony. The
only serious objection, then, which he (Sir J. Peking-
ton) could entertain to thesie bills was the form in which
they had been drawn. He could not say that the civil
list for Victoria was not very light, and, possibly, even
extravagant. Hon. members referred to 50,0001. for
public weeks, but that was the last part of the civil list
that should be objected to. He (Sir J. Pakington)
was glad to see that that part of the civil last had
been passed by a large majority in the colony. The hon.
member for Kidderminster stated that ithe civil list
amounted to 112,0001., whereas in the year 1849.50 the
whole revenue of the colony was only 113,0001. This was
not so much a proof of an extravagant civil list as it was
an illustration of the extraordinary progress made by the
colony in that time. In 1834, the present Lord Aberdeen,
as Secretary of State for the Colonies, was applied to by
some bold adventurers, and asked if they might found a
colony at Port Philip, and his answer was that it was not
the policy of England to extend her colonies, and he re-
fused his assent. In the following year Lord Glenelg was
applied to by these adventurers, and he likewise refused.
(No, he assented.) Well, at last the request was granted,
and happily these bold adventurers were allowed to esta-
blish the colony, and now, after twenty years, the house
was discussing the question whether or not they should
have a civil list of 112,0001. per annum. That was a
proof of the extraordinary development of this colony-
(Hear, bear.) *Should the house take on itself to
decide the civil list, it would adopt a very irritating and
unwise Course. He understood the hon. member for
Kidderminster to say that in re-enacting these acts passed
by the colonial legislature, Parliament should not allow
this civil list ; but the course taken by the Government
was wiser—not to interfere with the act, except as to
that part of it which interfered with the prerogative of
the Cro*n. The main objects of these bills were two,
to give to the colonies the management of their own waste
lands, and to confer on them an improved constitution,
