IN accordance with a resolution of the Legislative
Council, the following Standing Orders relative
to Local Bills are published for general information.

L. STOWE,
Clerk of the Legislative Council.

STANDING ORDERS OF THE LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL
RELATIVE TO LOCAL BILLS.

1. Local Bills are those which not being such as
   require to be introduced as Private Bills, are yet
   Bills specially affecting local interests and dealing
   with private rights, or with public reserves for local
   and municipal purposes; also Bills altering the con-
   stitution, election, or powers of local public bodies.

2. There shall be a Standing Committee, to consist
   of five members, to be called the "Local Bills Com-
   mittee," to which shall stand referred, after their
   first reading, all Bills which may appear to the
   Speaker to come within the description given in the
   preceding Order. Such Committee shall, in the case
   of every Bill referred to it, decide whether the same
   comes within the definition of a Local Bill; and, if
   so, whether the conditions laid down in Orders 3, 4,
   and 5 have been complied with.

3. No Local Bill shall be introduced into the
   Legislative Council by any member later than two
   months after the commencement of the session.

4. The member in charge of a Local Bill shall pro-
   duce to the Local Bills Committee satisfactory evi-
   dence that the intention to introduce the Bill and
   the purport of the same has been made public in the
   locality whose interests are affected, by advertisement
   in a local newspaper, at least four times in four suc-
   cessive weeks. When the Bill specially affects the
   interests of any private individual, evidence shall
   also be produced that personal notice to the effect
   above stated has been given to such individual.

5. When a Local Bill refers to an exchange of or
   other dealing with any Crown lands, or with a public
   reserve, the member in charge thereof shall also pro-
   duce a certified map, on a scale of not less than 20
   chains to an inch, showing the land or reserve in
   question, and the mode in which it is proposed to
   deal with the same. When any Schedule containing
   a description of any land is attached to such Bill, it
   shall be accompanied by a certificate of its correct-
   ness from an officer of the Survey Department or
   other duly-authorized Surveyor.
