MR STOUT'S KNIGHTHOOD.
Major Atkinson said he desired, on behalf of the Opposition, to convey to Mr Stout their hearty congratulations for the honour of knighthood which -had been bestowed on him by Hor Majesty. He said the honor' conferred on the Premier was really an honor to the colony for Mr Stout was the true type of a colonist.
The Hon. Mr Stout thanked the House for its congratulations, but in doing bo he Baid he regretted exceedingly that the honour had not also been conferred on older colonists who were more entitled to it than he was. The House would know whom he meant ; he referred to gentlemen who had held the office of Premier. The honour had been altogether unsolicited by him aud was quite unexpected.
