that absorb the 3rd is requisite be supposed
that those amendments will soon be before the
Council, so that it may have them under con.
slderatlon at the same time as the Draft, in its
subsequent stages, and thereby become &C.
qualnted with the Organization in its several
details; but even if this should not be so, this
should not affect The principal question itself,
as it may easily be imagined how the organi-
cation is to be, and at all events any difference
OF opinion as to one or two Policemen here or
there could have no influence as to the Draft
itself, when once sc have arrived at a conVic-
ton on the Draft. But, he was quite sure,
The Government will, in so far as the details
are not already explained in the motives, COM
munics'e to the Budget Co nmittec. and, through
it, to the Council how the Draft is to be car
ried out ia its details.
The PyeS'denys Secretary observed, that the
honorable Member who spoke last, had quite
correctly stated the view and intention Of the
Government he would only add that the
amendments, which form a necessary compile.
ment to the Draft, are in the course of being
got ready, and they will be sent to the Budget
Committee in time to come before the Council
along with the Draft when in lis further stages.
With reference TO the amount If savings
expected to result from The change, us would
refer to the motives; but of course the pension
that will follow from the withdrawal must be
deducted, so !ho present saving vii. amount to
G. $4,000.

District (llo0re) would be led to infer from
the remarks that have fallen to day, that the
constabulery force, which will be the subject
& discussion later in this meeting, will be Of
great Importance for the Centre District, since
many of the Estates in that District are a
great distance away from tbs two Police
Stations. ri.
Tbs Prcsideacy's Secretary; As will be seen
when The amendments for carrying out the
altered organization are introduced, there will
be saoh al additional Poiiceforoo stationed ia

frict E2nliHs( thought il would be worth
while To tsk5 into consideration the plan Of
having some poll 'en@n stationed in the Cen
tredjs'rjct. Hitherto ona or two policemen
have been living on estates, besides those
who are Stain d at kjo.saal, where
policemen still ceujd be- kept. Their presence
would have d good effect. He should consider
il advisable to have q Committee on this Draft
in connection with that on the Constabulary
Force, which Committee then could por4a;s
suggest something Of the kind he had alluded
to-
The Presidency's Secretary thought that was
n'ma'ter belonging under the respective Money
Bill; the Budget Committee could there
propose that point in connection with the
organization, if The Council should be wishful
Of having policemen residing q. different places
10 the District.

After the very valuable remarks from the
honourab!e Chairman, who had clearly shewu
The only point We have to take, there would be
no use OF 8 Committee, against which he
would vote.

tTlot (C0~tet) called attention to the fact Of O
Flag having for very many years been hoisted
at Kingshill as a signal for labourers to com.
mence and break off work this would be miss.
edVery much. There should be some responsible
person left at Kihgshili to hoist the flag as
usual, ct least for the first; after some time it
might not be requisite, Blu: if there are to be
no military, no policemen at Kingshill, how
would THAI matter be arranged p for he did
not think the Government would be satisfied
to leave it to the teacher who may be living
there. AS, however, there are policemen's
houses already, one policeman might be left
there, not only for that purpose, but also for
amicably settling petty cases that might arise,
Without 1t being requisite to on to the indua.
