VOL. VI. NELSON, SATURDAY, MAY 29, 1858. No. 10.

SPEECH OF HIS HONOUR THE SUPERINTENDENT ON THE PROROGATION OF THE FIFTH SESSION OF THE PROVINCIAL COUNCIL, ON THE 26TH MAY, 1858.

MR. SPEAKER AND GENTLEMEN OF THE PROVINCIAL COUNCIL—

  1. The duties which have devolved upon you during the present session having terminated, I have the pleasure of relieving you from further attendance. The numerous and varied measures which have received your attentive consideration, and occupied a greater amount of time than those of any previous session, will, I trust, prove beneficial to this province.

  2. The recent announcement, that her Majesty has disallowed the "Waste Lands Act, 1856," may reasonably create an apprehension that much of the labour in which you have been engaged may prove of little effect. I am, however, not without hope that his Excellency the Governor may be advised to give, with the advice of the General Assembly, legal force to those measures which are affected by the disallowance of the Act referred to.

  3. I have given my assent, on behalf of his Excellency the Governor, to the following Acts passed by you during the present session, viz., the

Debentures Act
Education Loan Act
Motupiko Public Reserves Act
Public Reserves Act
Auctioneers Act
Cattle Branding Act
Dog Nuisance Act
Country Roads Amendment Act
Nelson Improvement Amendment Act
and
Appropriation Act.

  1. I have reserved, for the signification of the Governor's pleasure thereon, the
    Gold Fields Occupation Act
    Dun Mountain Railway Act
    Waste Lands Act
    and
    Education Amendment Act.

  2. I have transmitted to his Excellency's Government the draft of the Gold Fields Administration of Justice Bill, with your resolution and report thereon.
