The Colonial Council held on Monday
last its first ordinary meeting for the pre-
sent session.
The Acting Chairman (Rosenstand)
after notifying the receipt of several COM
munications to the Council gave a resume
of the business transacted by the Council
in the past year. 2 cases were still stand
ing over from ~1872-73, viz. the Draft
of a new Colonial Law, and the Draft of
new neutrality-suspicious. which rest with
the Government, the former not being re.
introduced in st. Thomas after the DISCO
luton Of the Council the latter will now
have arrived at a new stage, after the Or
dinance lately passed by the Council,
Some other cases were also standing over
from 1894, but have since been settled,
for instance, the Ordinance concerning the
sale Of Spirituous Liquors, while one,
viz, the Draft concerning alteration OF
the Military Force, still rests at the re-
