formerly Oeen a greaC advocate OF / Police
master; bat he has given it up, although
from real personal motives ; be had been
acting Policemaster at Kingshill along
with another Office !; he got dissatisfied
two. weeks after assuming the duties, and
the work was so laborious, that with his
best will and energy, he could not over
come, and his health was so much impair
ed, that he had to take a trip to Europe
to regain it. Faber could not see any dan
ger in voting for the amendment. Sarauw
had gone as far back as 1864, he would
now go some few years later, and refer to
the Report from the Commission appointed
by Governor Birch, to propose reductions
in the public expenditure and in which
His ExceIlency the Vicegovernor was
Chairman the Report of January 1869 ex-
presses a similar opinion as that recon-
mended now. In regard to His Excellen-
cy's words last meeting on The measure
tending to weaken instead of strengthen
ing the Police, he would say the principal
thing to strengthen it is a good comman-
der, much rather have / instead of 3, and
provide a good number of men. Roupach
had formerly also been in favour of one
Policemaster, but he had since changed
his opinion, if, however, he were to be ask
ed whether he would have one or more
such, he could not answer he would only
say, VIVA: the Government proposes must
be we'll considered. VIZ don't know
whether the peculiar circumstances, which
as His Excellency has sheWn, led to the
separation in 1867, still continue. Nc
UiHi0m enquired if the limits of the discus
ci,, ~, 20 ho oopEp0I 70 v,oa oDioio,c ~,
the proposal or whether we shall enter on
the details of l or more Policemasters.-
The Uicechairma1 referred to the limits of
the proposal under consideration. R0Sen-
stand Showed that it was impossible to ex-
press an opinion on the principle without
entering on the reasons given by the NOV
Crs thereof, and there is among them, even
after the proposal has been advanced,
stated the adyisableness of the Policemas-
ter, and no man in the world would enter
on any consideration of the proposal with
out connecting with it the idea of 1 Police
master. He had always objected against
one single item being taken OUT end
brought forward in the way this one has
been done, and he could not as yet see
otherwise than that it was out of order to
bring in this question in it's present form.
The more correct course would have been,
if the Council did not wish to have the
combination intended by Government, to
ask the Government not to fill the offices
before the whole organisation Of the Judi
ciary had been before the Couucil. JoAIfe
objected to the motion as opposed to ) 9
of the Rules of Business requiring a dis
tinct proposal in proper form. S0rauw
said the formal question had been fully
settled Some further remarks fell from Ro-
senstand, Sarauw, McWiIliam and Anthem
who said he intended not to vote, SO as to
shew that he would have noting to do with
the amendment or subamendment, Nc.
William, seconded by Clindinen, proposed
that tide discussions be postponed, as it was
half past four O'Clock and many Members
had to 60 to their houses. The Vicechaif@
man put the proposal to the vote and it
was adopted to postpone further discus
sions on the matter till next Meeting Mon
day 3rd June.
