Mr.. THURsToN's APOLOGY.
Mr.. ThurstOn rose to a question of prlvi-
lege. He said he did not like to take up
the time of the House, and interfere with
the regular business, but he had personal
matter to bring before it. Yes terday the
House saw fit to take up all the aftern Don
in discussing the question to which he re-
ferred so he mi ght be excused if he now
took up a short time in referring to it. By
e tAa h
to apologize for certain specified words
Yesterday he complied with the resolu-
ton. After about three hours discussion,
however. the Assembly came to the con-
clusion that he had not apolOgized. He
thought that he had spoken plainly enough
yesterday to beunderstOOd, and personally
| he did not think that anything further
was necessary. AS, however, a large
number of the members of the Assembly
did not seem to have understood what he
said yesterday, and were therefore labor
ing under the impression that he
had not apologized to the House, to re
move any misapprehension upon that
point he hereby repeated what he had said
yesterday, to-wit: that he admitted that
the words IN the amendment complained
of, in the connection in which they were
used by him, were unparliamentary. and
he apologized to the Assembly for having
used them.
His Excellency the Attorney General
moved that the apology be accepted.
Carried.
