Provincial Council Chamber,
Christchurch, Feb. 24, 1858.
HIS HONOR THE SUPERINTENDENT prorogued the Provincial Council this day with the following
ADDRESS.
Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Provincial Council,
Before formally closing this Session I cannot refrain from expressing my deep sense of the frank and liberal spirit that has characterised your consideration of the various measures placed before you.
The large sums you have placed at my disposal for the prosecution of Public Works shall be expended with proper economy and with a close regard to your wishes as conveyed to me during this session; the Executive Government, while owning immediate responsibility to your body, being alone answerable to you for the conduct of every department of the public service.
The Loan Debentures will be delivered to the Union Bank of Australia, at Lyttelton on the 3rd day of March next, for immediate transmission to England, and in all probability, will arrive in London in sufficient time to meet the requirements of our Emigration Agent.
A sum of £1,500 will also be remitted to London by the first mail in further payment of our liability of the late Canterbury Association's Estate.
During the coming recess I purpose to devote a considerable portion of time to a personal inspection of all the districts of the Province in which it has been thought desirable to extend public works, in order that the Government may be prepared at your next meeting to place before you the amplest information in reference to the just expenditure of the monies you may be advised to appropriate, and will avail myself of every means of ascertaining for your guidance all the political and social requirements of the Province.
Finally, Gentlemen, I congratulate you on the expedition and general unanimity of your proceedings, and trust that this first session may be a closely followed precedent on future occasions.
I now declare that this Council shall stand prorogued until Friday, the 3rd day of September next.
W. S. MOORHOUSE, Superintendent.
