A STATEMENT.
Mr CUTHBERTSON considered that it was due from him that he should explain the position of the Executive. He had felt bound to resign his seat in the Government. It arose entirely from personal reasons, and he should continue to support his colleagues as long as they followed the policy hitherto adopted. He had taken office at the late crisis, because he felt, after his action, it was his duty to do so. Ali that couhd be done on the question of railway investigation, he had done. Atmuch inconvenience, had given attention to public works while in office ■ but he felt that he could not continue to bestow so much time as he deemed a member of the Government should give. The estimates would only be asked for six months. The Council then adjourned till the evening sitting.
