have it as formerly, WHICH, III was pTOVerDlaI
that each of The 3 Policemasters interpret
ed the law in his own way and decided
accordingly.-It would be but time lost to
continue these discussions, ne would there
fore propose that the question of the vail
dity of the election be referred for consi-
deratiOn by a Committee of 5 Members.
End Crownmemher (Kalmer) would not
enter into discussions on this matter with
the last Speaker, as it would be useless
and only cause loss Of time; but he would
beg most decidedly to repudlate such
expressions as that used by the Member,
that he, the Speaker, had e~ndeavOured to
~misrepresent the matter; he had hoped
that the Chairman would have taken
notice of those expressions.
3rd Member for Frederiksted's Country,
District "a. Ldtimer) was sure, that no.
thing was further from him than to make
use of personalities in these discussions.
The Chairman said that if the 3rd Mem
Der for Frederiksted's Country District had
made use of the term "misrepreSent" it
had escaped his notice; but even if the
term had been used, it did not imply
necessarily a Misrepresentation of facts;
while nothing is more general than to hear
two cOntending parties accuse each other
of being guilty Of Misrepresentation OF
views or arguments.
The discussions were interrupted, and
the Chairman put to vote if the decision
on the question of the validity of the cleo
ton should be postponed; it was adopted
with 10 votes against 2 that it should be
postponed.
II was then adopted unanimously with II
votes that the matter be referred to a
Committee of 5 Members.
The election came on later in the meet
ing.
The elected Member retired.
