tu, Assembly tool, up that matter on
thc Appropriation Bill, Ills Ex. the
Minister ot Interior would he able
to explain 20 muulcly. There were
other items due ON account of the
llaNscldvn estate, street-clcaniug,
The kalaako buildings, etc, which
we've pant of the Indebtedness of the
Government and which they asked
The Assembly to provide for. There
was ~ certain cash indebted
ness which did not appear. He
begged to inform the Assembly that
the Government had engaged the
firm of Mcssrs. W. G.. Irwin 4 Co.
rs its financial agent. That firm had
been during the last two years tram
sacting business on large scale for
the Government. They had been
making advances TO the Government
for immigration and other purposes.
There was one time when they owed
them nearly S200,0 900 on immigra-
tion account. There was an open
account with that firm. They owed
that firm for the tugboat, which was
not yet paid for, and there was
balance due them of about $50,
on account of the ship Stirlingshire,
and the whole Indebtedness, on ac-
count of the tug and other matters,
was $4,000. He felt assured that
he had not stated to the house, to
the best of his knowledge. any less
than the actual Indebtedness that
there was not anything else in re-
serve. There was no other bill or
account, bond or loan. with any
other party than those there pre-
sented. SO that when they saw the
Indebtedness of 81 .225.000 men,
toned in the Finance Report. and
those debts that he had stated. they
had the whole Indebtedness of the
country. As he had stated already,
there were certain details of those
transactions that he could not give,
because they were not in his depart
meut, but these could be all ex-
planned. There were vouchers for
every dollar, but it was not in his
power to give details ut present.
There were no other written Obliga-
tJous, There wSS the Indebtedness.

there were others besides those
regularly opposed 10 him who were
dissatisfied. But His Majesty asked
him to continue to discharge the
duties of his position for the pie-
sent. He was ready to step out any
time. He was tired of contention;
of wrangling, sometimes without
cause. See how much time had been
wasted already. This was a very
proper enquiry to make; such an
enquiry as he should make if he had
a seat amongst the Representatives
such an enquiry as he had made in
time past. He was only sorry that
pressure of business, constant
going to and fro, had prevented him
from stating before what he now
stated, and fully stated, except in
mere matters of detail, and there
fore he considered there was no
further necessity for delaying busi-
ness, but they should go on with the
order of the day, which was the con-
sideration of the Appropriation Bill.
Rep. Brown desired to withdraw
the resolution, as its object had
been attained.
Rep. Kaulukou objected to the
withdrawal, and insisted on his mo-
tion to indefinitely postpone the
resolution being put.
The motion carried.
