PROROGATION OF PROVINCIAL COUNCIL,
MAY, by His Honor the Superintendent, Fri-
day, May 31st, 1872:—

MR. SPEAKER, AND GENTLEMEN OF THE PROVINCIAL
COUNCIL,

Gentlemen,—I have to congratulate you on the
termination of a Session which, although not so
long protracted as former Sessions, has nevertheless been
productive of a large amount of important work—
work which I have no doubt will have a beneficial
effect on the best interests of the Province.

I have this day, on behalf of the Governor, as-
sented to the following Ordinances passed by you:—
Police Ordinance (Southland) Repeal Ordinance
1872
Licensed Carriage Ordinance 1872
Dog Registration Ordinance (Southland) Repeal Ordinance 1872
Hospital Ordinances (Southland) Repeal Ordinance 1872
The Otago Roads Ordinance Amendment Ordinance 1872
Licensing Ordinances Amendment Ordinance 1872
Lawrence Athenaeum and Mining Institute Ordinance 1872
The Fencing Ordinance 1872
The Impounding Ordinance 1872
Appropriation Ordinance 1872-73.

I have this day also reserved for the signification
of the Governor’s pleasure thereon, the following
Bills passed by you:—
Riverton Reserves Management Ordinance 1872
Lawrence Reserves Management Ordinance 1872
Invercargill Reserves Management Ordinance 1872
Southland Education Reserve Exchange Ordinance
1872
Invercargill Athenaeum Ordinance Reserve Manage-
ment Amendment Ordinance 1872
Invercargill Reserve Exchange Ordinance 1872
Education Reserve, Jacobs River Hundred, Sale
Ordinance 1872.
Otago Local Revenues Ordinance 1872

Otago Municipal Corporations Ordinance Amend-
ment Ordinance 1872
Oamaru Town Reserves Management Ordinance
1872
Lawrence Athenaeum and Mining Institute Re-
serves Management Ordinance 1872
Balclutha Reserves Management Ordinance 1872
Oamaru Hospital Reserve Management Ordinance
1872
Roads Diversion Ordinance 1872
Dunedin Mains Reserve Ordinance 1872
Dunstan Racecourse Reserve Management Ordi-
nance 1872.

Gentlemen,—The numerous and important resolu-
tions which have been transmitted to me shall meet
with due attention, and the supplies which you have
voted for the public service will be distributed as
equitably as may be throughout the Province, and
with due regard to economy.

The expenditure of the comparatively large sum
which at your request has been placed on the Sup-
plementary Estimates will be contingent upon such
revenue as may be derived from Land Sales beyond
the ordinary estimate. I am glad that you have con-
sidered it expedient to dispose of large blocks of land, sufficient to
enable your votes to be carried into effect.

Gentlemen,—You will, I am sure, agree with me
in regretting that a number of the constabulary
force, of which the Province has hitherto felt so
justly proud, have so far forgotten what was due to
themselves, as well as to the Province, as to re-
linquish their duty without notice.

The Government has taken the most prompt mea-
sures to meet the occasion, and hope in due time to
have the force so reorganised as to prevent the re-
currence of such an emergency.

Gentlemen,—Thanking you for your attendance, I
now declare this Council prorogued, and it stands
prorogued accordingly.

J. MACANDREW,
Superintendent.
