Rep. kamauoha, under suspension
to the effect that, as the House had
signified its readiness, and the Queen
had expressed Her intention of pro-
roguing the Legislature on the com
ing Saturday, then tho Ministers be
requested to place before Her Ma
jcsty unsigned bills which have pass
ed third reading and request that
Her Majesty give early attention to
the same and return if possible on
Saturday, before Propagation.
Noble Thurston objected to the
resolution as being clearly imposing
on the rights Of Her Majesty. The
Queen had right by the Constitu-
ton to have possession of bill for
ten days and the House had no right
to interfere during that time. Her
Majesty may omit to sign or else
veto bill, that was her right and it
was undignified in the House to at
tempt to pass resolution which was
most clearly trenching on the rights
of the Queen.
President Walker now announced
that he would have to leave the
House, and desired members to
leave the keys of their desks with the
, Secretary.
Rep. White said that he did not
think that there was anything wrong
in the resolution; it was only a re-
quest that the Cabinet place bills in
their hands before the Queen and
advise Her to sign them. This was
necessary in case of intended veto.

ed that there should be a change il

net was to place the bills passed be
