RESOLUTIONS.
His Excellency the Minister of For
, eign Affairs presented the following
resolution:
"Whereas Hon. Godfrey Rhodes has
asked leave of absence from the
Assembly, during the remainder Of the
session, to go abroad on account of i'll
. health, and,
"Whereas, the Honorable Noble has
been long and faithfully engaged in the
service Of the country as a legislator,
: and on several occasions as the presid-
: ing officer of this body;
: Therefore resolved: That the
Assembly express its hearty recognition
of the services of the Honorable
Noble as an intelligent and patriotic
legislator, pray the Almighty to have
him in Holy keeping duIing his jour
! neylngs, and permit him to return to
his home, his many friends, and to a
continuance Of his legislative duties in
I, this Kingdom, with restored health"
In moving this resolution His Excel
r lency said that when the Hon. Noble
, had asked for leave of absence and re-
ferred to his long career in this Assem-
bly,, he was on the point of rising to
{ make some remarks, but preferred to
refer to the matter in more deliberate
manner They had other absentees
! from this Legislative Assembly, but
none who had been in it SO long and in
! so marked manner associated with it.
He had the honor to be associated with
, the Hon. Noble in several sessions
; this was the fifth one--and be esteem
ed it favor to associate with him, and
although at times they differed, they
9 did SO on good and patriotic grounds.
This was not the time nor the occa
sion to enter into an eulogy of the Hon
Noble and his public character He
trusted they should have him with
them again, but he could not help re-
, ferring to the stand he took with regard
i to one public question, that is, the
: cession of Pearl Harbor.
, 1t was largely due to the stand he took
, on that question that the native popu-
lation we're aroused to realize the
situation. AS he said before, they diff
!, fered, but he never doubted the Hon.
: Mobiles honorable character or his
! loyalty to the interests of his country
and the interests of his sovereign.
This was, however, only the occasion
for an expression of kindly good will,
, for a cordial bon ooyage, and he hoped
the Hon. Noble, who had so often
appeared before them with his yenera-
BILE white head, would return in re-
stored health, and that they would see
: him once more and hear his voice.
His Excellency the Attorney Gen,
eral said he could not help expressing
his personal admiration for the gentle
: man about leaving them, he trusted
only temporarily, and it was no ordi-
nary pleasure for him to have some
part in eliciting the voice of this AS
sembly, in the terms of the resolution,
: and he hoped it would be a unani-
nous expression. He eulogized the
Hon. Mobiles integrity of life and aver
sion to all wrong, not only in private
relations but in his public career In
. seconding the resolution he desired to
express the hope of the Hon. Godfrey
Rhodes speedy restoration to health,
to his duty and to his family.
Hon. member Kaulukou said he
,, heartily agreed with the resolution and
hoped it would pass unanimously. He
suggested that the Secretary be in
structed to send it to the Hon. Noble.
Hon. member Richardson suggested
that the resolution be engrossed, which
met with general approval
