RESOLUTIONS.
Minister Gibson presented the fol-
lowing 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 ~ a
legislator, and on several occasions
as the presiding officer of this body;
"'Therefore Resolved, That the
Assembly express its hearty rccog-
nltion of the services of the Honor
able Noble as an intelligent and
patriotic legislator, pray the Al
mighty to have him in Holy keeping
during his ioulneyings, and permit
him to return to his home, his many
friends, and to a continuance of his
legislative duties in this kingdom,
with restored health"
In moving this resolution His En-
cellency said that when the Hon.
Noble had asked for leave of alb
scnce and referred to his long
career in this Assembly, he was on
the point of rising to make some re-
marks, 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.
lie had the honor to hG associated
with the Hon. Noble in several Scs-
sions-this was the fifth onc-and
he esteemed it favor to associate
with him, and although at times
they differed, they did so on good
and patriotic grounds. This was
not the time nor the occasion to
enter into eulogy Of the Hon.
Noble and his public character. He
trusted they should have him with
them again, but Ire could not help
referring to the stand he took with
regard 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
population were aroused to realize
the situation. As he said before,
they differed, hut he never doubted
the Hon. Mobiles honorable charac-
ter, 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 voyage, and he hoped the Hon.
Noble, who had so often appeared
before them with his venerable white
head would return in restored
health, and that they would see him
once more and hear his voice.
Minister Neumann SAID he could
not help expressing his personal adj
miration for the gentleman about
leaving them, he trusted only tenn
porarily, and it was no ordinary
pleasure for him to have some part
in eliciting the voice of this Assem-
bly,, in the terms of the resolution
and he hoped it would be unanim.
Gus expression. He eulogized the
hon. mobiles integrity of life anC
aversion to all wrong, not only il
private relations hut in his public
career. In seconding the resolution
he desired to express the hope of thu
Hon. Godfrey Rhodes speedy res
toraton to health, to his duty and t.
his family.
