Judge would be sufficient, but he did not
think, that this would tend to any considerable
economy. The cases appertainlng to the office
of the Notary Public would increase in the
event of the fees being reduced.
The 2nd member for Christiansted's country
district (Ratcliffe) having proposed the appoint
ment of a committee to report on the draft, and
a short discussion ensuing regarding a commit
tee comprising 3 or 5 members, the Council
agreed, with IA votes against l, upon one OF 5
members, and the election deferred to a later
period in the meeting.
9, 3rd discussion of the Provisional Law of
26th February 1866, containing additional
clauses to the ordinance of the goth January
1849, concerning the relations between the
proprietors of landed estates and the rural
population of St. CrOix.
No member demanding the word, the Chair
man stated, that the Law in its present form
would be put to the vote, and in the event of its
adoption, the committee would have to frame a
draft of the most submissive report on it to His
Majesty the King.
End member for Frederiksted's country dis
trict (Knight) stated, that in consequence of
his position during the discussions on the Pro-
visiOnal Ordinance on the same subject, he
would abstain from voting.
At the subsequent voting the Provisional
Law was adopted unanimously with IA votes
Zone membe not ,yoting).
The Council then proceeded to the election
of members to report on the draft of ordinance
for altering the division of the Police-jurisdic-
tons in st. Croix &C.; the following members
were appointed 2nd member for Christian
sted's country district (Ratcliffe) with IA, 1st
member for Christiansted's country district
(Christmas), 2nd member for Frederiksted's

Continued from No, 21.)

The 1st member for Frederiksted's town
(Sarauw) referred to the motives accompany
ing the draft, adding only, that he believes there
may exist an opinion in the Council to retain
the Office of Policemaster in the Center Dis
trict, in which case the draft would only re-
quire the alteration of a few words.
His Excellency the Governor pointed out,
that the present proposal contains two principal
items, viz: l, the discontinuance of the office
of Policemaster in the Center District, 2, the
establishing of 9 offices of Town Judges and
Recorders as independent Offices, no more unit
ed to those of the Policemasters. AS regards
the former, he did not consider the proposal
advisable in so far as regards it's practicability,
because the two townsville one numbering
$500, the other 340O inhabitants, a great por-
ton being without any fixed occupation must
necessarily and principally demand the activity
of the 2 Policemasters, and because it would be
a matter of great consideration to place a great
or portion of the country districts than hereto
fore under the charge of the POlicemasters in
the towns. The Center District comprises the
