RESOLUTIONS.

1. That all the Ordinances of the Legislative Council of New Zealand which have been repealed, those which have expired or become obsolete, and those which have been disallowed ; should be comprised in an appendix to the body of the Ordinances in operation, and that the titles and analyses only of such Ordinances be printed therein in a smaller and more compact type. And that such Ordinances as have simply the effect of repealing others or parts of others should also be printed in such appendix, but at full length.

2. That the body of Ordinances still in operation, and not otherwise disposed of above, be classified according to their. subjects; and printed entire in a cleaver type and more convenient shape than those of the old volume; and that an index of the Ordinances of each class be inserted at the head of such class, and short distinguishing titles where necessary prefixed to the Ordinances, but not so as to interfere with their original title?. 3. That the amended or repealed clauses of Ordinances in operation, and to compose, as above stated, the body of the work, be printed in smaller or distinguishing type, with a reference to the repealing Ordinance, or if convenient with the amended or substituted clauses printed in the margin of the page containing the original clauses. 4. That a general list of the Ordinances in the order in which they were passed, and also an alphabetical index, be included in the work. 5. That the different Acts of Parliament, Royal Instructions, and other documents, on the authority of which the constitution of New Zealand is based, be prefixed to the Ordinances. Alfred Domett, Chairman.

On the motion of the Colonial Treasurer, seconded by Mr. Ludlam, report adopted by the Council. Mr. Hickson having read, brought up the following report of the Sub Committee on Customs Duties, and moved that the same be adopted. Motion seconded by Mr. Moore.
