LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
The Council met at 2 p.m. On the motion of Mr Se)mour the bill toprovide a cheap and expeditious mode of procedure against persons occupying auy land or premises without right or title, was read a first time. The Council then went into Committee on ihe Constabulary Ordinance and the remaiuing clauses were considered and amended. The Lieutenant-Governor then laiii on the table a despatch which he had received from SirG. Giey on the subject of receiving exiles, he did so because he considered it very desirable that the Council should express an opinion on the subject. The magistrates hid been applied to but he thought the opinion of the Council would have more weight than th? opinion of any individual on the subject, and therefore he laid it on the table with the hope that a specific motion would be made on the subject. His Excellency also laid on the table a bill to confer on the Lieutenant-Governor of New Munster the same powers in certain cases as are conferred on the officer administering the government for the time being.
