PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT OF OTAGO

154

I have only to observe, in conclusion, that since we last met, circumstances with which you are already acquainted, and to which it is not necessary further to allude, have led to a change of my Responsible Advisers. The gentlemen who now occupy that position were induced to accept office very reluctantly, in the exercise of a public duty, and at my urgent solicitation. I feel assured that they possess the confidence of the country and I trust also of this Council. Be this as it may, I will venture to say that, apart from all consideration of party, and without disparagement to previous Administrations, never, since the establishment of the present system of Responsible Government, have the affairs of the Province been more prosperous or more efficiently conducted than at present.

Gentlemen,—I now declare this Council open for the despatch of business.

J. MACANDREW,
Superintendent.
