“ With regard to the first resolution, I am to inform you that, when the distribution of scats in the House of Representatives as a whole is being settled, the claim of the County of Patea will be carefully considered. “ As regards the second, I cam to state that the Government cannot undertake to support a Bill which they have not seen. I am to add that a General Harbor Bill is now before Parliament. “ I have, &c., “G. S. COOPER.”
