I regret also, that as an immediate consequence, the Provincial Secretary has tendered to me his resignation.

Whilst on the one hand I recognise the absolute right of the Council to modify or reject any measure which may be brought before it; I also, on the other hand, have my responsibility to the people of the Province: and with a due sense of that responsibility before me, I have intimated to the Provincial Secretary that I do not, under the circumstances, consider myself justified in accepting his resignation.

As the Council has rejected the only measure which it was specially convened to consider, it has in fact disposed of the business of the session, and I accordingly declare the Council to be prorogued.

WILLIAM FITZHERBERT,
Superintendent.
