Mr Davies was elected Speaker. Mr Nicholls, Leader of the Opposition, opposed the Premier's motion to adjourn till June 20, on the ground that the reconstruction of the Ministry involved a question of propriety in the selection of Mr Propsting as Attorney-General, and Mr Urquhart as Treasurer. Both had been regarded as Opposition members. His action was tantamount to a motion of want of confidence. The Premier ac> cepted it as such, and the House adjourned until to day. In the Council Mr Morrisby moved the adjournment to call attention to changes in tho Cabinet. The present Attorney-General had changed his views and had so gained place and pay, Mr Propsting, in a dignified reply, repelled the insinuation. The policy of his Government had been taken up by the present Ministry. The motion was withdrawn.
