It is alleged that His Excellency having- listened attentively to all the rremier had to say replied that the House had acted rightly and th nt he never intended such 81113 as those referred to by the Premier should be considered. He pointed out that he had only granted the dissolution asked for by the Premier, on the distinct understanding that no " contested motions " should be brought forward, and he certainly considered that these Bills would come under the heading " contested motions." It is said that the Governor intimated his opinion, that Sir George Grey's action m the matter was something very like a breach of faith, and rumour has'it that some warm words en_ued, the Premier ultimately being requested to retire."
