The minutes Of the last meeting were then
read.
l-t Member for Christian4tei Town
{Stdkemdnp) objected to the minutes re,
marking, that his expressions We're not cor
roctly put down. He could not remember
exactly the words lie had used, but II His
Exeellency had said that he, l,t Member for
ChFistiansted Town, always raised enmlty
between the Government and the population,
then he must protest that his words could
ever have had such a meauing and besides,
his words afterwards in reply to His
Excelency's remarks proved, that he had
noE used such expressions. As long as we
had no steno8rapher to report the meetings,
it would always be difficult to prove the
exact words spoken.
The Chairman (KalDaer) answered, that in
response to the complaint against him as
Chairman bearing the responsibility for the
minutes, he would say, that he should not
like to wrong any member least Of all the
honorable member il question, and there
fore not depending on his own impression,
he had Immediately after the meeting asked
Z members, what their impression was, and
every one Of them agreed in the words being
used as put down in the minutes.
Ist Member for Cbristiansted Town (Stdhe-
n1ann) remarked, that he had not accused
the Chairman Of being Intentionally unjust
but he would only say, that the hon. Chair
man on former occasions had sent the MEM
bers' speeches to them.
The Chairman (halmer) answered, that
