The acting Chairman had received a com
munication dated 18th April from Messrs. Jtrs
and Jolliffe, who had been appointed by the
Council as Members Of the Cash Commission,
that they in accordance with 5 GA of the Colo
NAL Law had On the 9th of April examined
the Cash deposited in the Chief Chest as well
as thai in the keeping 1.-THE Treasurer, compar-
ed the same with the accounts and found it
correct.
Next he would, before retiring from the
Chair, beg to give a review of the CouDcil'5
business in the last year,
The last session If the Cnl0nial G0unoiI woe
opened on the 18th May 1874; the ordinary
Meetings were fixed for the first Monday in
The month of July, the second Monday in the
month of September, the first Monday in the
month of November 1874 and January and
March 1875. The ordinary Meeting that was
to have been on the 9th July was postponed
to the goth same month that Of 14th Septem-
Der postponed to 28th same month.
Besides those ordinary Meetings the Council
has had 10 Extraordinary Meetings, making
in all l6 Meetings for the session. One Of
the Extraordinary Meetings was held within
closed doors, when His Excsllency Governor
Garde made an important communication con.
corning Central Factories and a discussion
followed, Of which a report has since been
printed and distributed to honorable Members.
In regard to the Members of the Council,
only one change had taken place in the course
OF lne year, the 3rd MEMBER Tor trede IkSted's
Country District (Elliott), after being absent
from the Island for more than 4 months, having
retired, and his place, which was to become
vacant at the general withdrawal of the half
Of the Members, was filled at the new general
elections. Agreeable to 5 II of the Colonial
Law the half of the Councils Members with
drew at the expiration of the elective period
on the 18th April last and their places have
been filled by general elections.
The following TWO cases are still standing
over from I672-73, viz:
y The Draft of a new Colonial Law, which
being a law in common for both Munich
palities cannot be furthered here without
being also furthered in st. Thomas. The
Colonial Council of st. Thomas had been
dissolved while the Draft was under dis.
%cussion, and as far as he knew, the
Draft had not been introduced again.
q The Draft of Ordinance concerning La
bour Regulations, which, as stated last
year, at the request of the Government
rested.
From 1884 The following Cases were
brought over:

PAINTERS ON A STRIKE.

BY an arrangement between the employing
painters and their worKmen, entered into last
spring, the regular rate Of wages was agreed TO be
So 90 per DAY OF eight hours and this compact was to
last Till November. Some or the employing houses
which did not make this bargain found themselves
able through last summer to ind men 10 work
TOR them ten hours per day, and VINO were glad to
OBTAIN ~ 90 Tor even Jnis longer term OF effort.
During the winter there was but little work 10 be
done, and wages dropped 10 So. About month
ago the employers met, and. agreeing tnat they
must demand ana render a longer days work at
last years wages or iall TO secure contracts, re-
solved That from yesterday the days work would
be reckoned at ten hours. To meet THIS resolve
the jOurutyincn held u meeting at Masonic Hall
last wees and resolved that they would insist
upon the legal day OF eight hours, and would 10 no
case consent To work longer hours, ella ming that
as the bulk OF their abOrs only extended through
