PROVINCIAL COUNCIL.
The debate on the settlement o? tbo Busby claim was proceeded with, aud the amendment of Mr. P. A. "Philips was at length carried, viz., " That this Council admits the advisability of seitling the Busby award, but it ought to have been consulted before such settlement was concluded." After this a very large amount of important business was transacted, detailed notice of which we are obliged to omit from pressure on our space.
There is not much business of importance on the notice paper for this evening; a question relating to the water supply to the Thames, and another respecting the Volunteer Act. Motions to ask the Superintendent to place on the estimates sums to subsidize a steamer to Mahuraugi, to improve the road from the Bay of Islands to Hokianga, and to construct a wharf at Opotiki. The adjourned debate on the proposal to survey the line for a railway to Mahurangi to Port Albert will be resumed.
