These supplies shall be care s'^-ninistere^ a manner 'best calculated to secure the permanent j* 1S ceme nt of the province. '. TMnhappy>*° in lorm y°u that friendly Telations still^continue to subsist between W General Government and this province ; _ I trust that nothing will arise to inter t these relations, the maintenance of "hich cannot be otherwise than mutually beneficial to the province and ccftony aj3 a Wl T_ie subject of immigration will receive my hast attention, whether in supervising the anasement of the General Government heme so far as it has been entrusted !„ m y hands, or in providing such •nriliarv means as may be found de •rable to promote immigration to this pro ince in the appointment of local agents in the various parts of the United Kingdom and elsewhere. ... I shall gladly use every exertion m my bower towards giving effect to your conclusions .-.regard to the settlement of the waste lands of the province, and the necessary modifica tion of the land laws. ■ ■■• The pains which you have taken in col lating statistical information upon the traffic and commerce of the Kaipara district will enable me, I trust, to place the subject of the proposed railway extension from River head to Auckland before the authorities at Wellington in such a light, as will show the data upon which Mr Carruthers' report was j^ed. to have been erroneous, and lead to the construction of that important line of railway at no distant date. In addition to the twelve bills passed during the present session, to which I have already declared the Governor's assent, I have assented, on behalf of his Excellency, to the following bills :- The Auctioneers' licensing -Act, 1863, Amendment Act, 18J4; The Tuakau Road Act, 1874; The •Municipal Corporations Act Amendment Act, 1873, Operation Act, 1874 ; The Manukau Barbour Endowments Debt Re peal Act, 1874; The East Coast District Sheep Act, 1874; The Private Burials Pre vention and Regulation Act, 1874; The Opotiki Road' Act, 1874; The City of Auckland Loan Empowering Act, 1874; The Maioro Koad Act, 1874; The Newmarket Hall Act, 1874; The Fencing Act 1855 Amendment Act, 1874; The Fencing Acts Suspension Act, 1874 ; The Impounding Act = 1867 Amendment Act, 1874 ; The Sheep Act 1863 Amendment Act, 1874; The Hauraki •District Fire Rate Act 1872 Amendment Aot, 1874; The Members' Remuiferation Act, 1874; the Pablic Building Act, 1874; The Mangapiko Road Act, 1874; The Ara pohue Roads Act, 1874; The Auckland Snpreme Court Site Grant Empowering Act, 1874; The Appropriation Act, 1874; and The Highways Act, 1874. And I have re served foa the signification of the Go vernor's pleasure thereon—The Coolahan Milldam Goit Act, 1874; the Educa tional Reserve Sale Act, 1874 ; and The A-ckland Grammar School Reserves Act, 1874.

With respect to the very important ques tion of providing adequate means for the edu cation of youth of this province, which has been under the consideration of the Council during this and, former sessions, I need not aunre you of my entire sympathy. I must, however, express my regret that yon have not . approved the principle embodied iv the •Bill originally submitted by me, namely, to commit the charge of education to a Commis e.onei', representing the Council and the Go- Yemment, rather than leave it to be managed by a Board possessing large discretionary powers of administration,"and yet constituted in inch a manner as to attach at the moat but a partial measure of re .jxras-bility to its proceedings. It is wo a matter for regret that no provision has- been made in the Amendment Bill for charging • the :Board which administers the f-nds with the duty of coUecting the tax. There are; his. you are aware, other serious objectibns entertained by me to the Act of 1872, but as-1 understand the present mto..e is designed only as an ex periment, I would not wish to prolong the.session by returning the BiU to you wr amendment in this and other respects. «, however, it is probable that an adjust ment of the whole question of the taxation (direct and indirect) of this Colony must •Mn take place, I hesitate to § give my "Mnton behalf of the Governor, and to a , i»eatn.e which will increase the direct tax won of this province, lest its effect should Prejudice or embarrass any action which may »taken by the Colonial Legislature towards Sizing; the taxation of the coun ty, embracing (as g nc h action no doubt will) H^? mi, onforthe educational requirements 01 tte colony without the necessity for the ypoßtion by the Provincial Legislature of a Weet tax upon sections of the community. WMnthstanding these objections I am, never* ™eiess, Tinwilliag.to exercise the power vested ffflfcthe Constitution Act of with- Mdwg the Governor's assent, and I have Ir*>a r, eße'ved "The Education Act i^ Amendment Act, 1874 "for the signi "KMipn of the Governor's pleasure thereon. *-I.now-declarc that this Council stands Prorogued, and it is prorogued accordingly. :.'

SUPREME COURT.—This Day.

SITTINGS IN BANKRUPTCY.

Befdte His Honor Sir Geo. A. Arney, Xt, Chief Justice. SOMERFIELD V. TREVOR.

Mr Gillies appeared for the plaintiff. This was a motion for a decree to com pel defendant to perform a certain contract in the purchase of land. There was no ap pearance on the other side. Decree granted, terms of contract to be settled in Chambers.

ERASER V. REED AND BRETT.

Mr MacCormick for the defendants stated he had been instructed by the defendants that they wduld offer no opposition to the rule being made absolute. Mr Gillies for the plaintiff then formally applied to have the rule made absolute.

No cause agaipst this being shown by the defendants his Honor granted the application.

LINDSAY V. WALKEB,

In this case a rule nisi had been granted to quash a conviction of the Resident Magis trate at Papakura against Lindsay for selling liquor without a license.

Mr. E. Bennett appeared in support of the rule, and Mr. Hesketh appeared to show cause against its being made absolute. The latter counsel argued in favour of the conviction being a legal one, and quoted thejjrecedent of " Newman v. Ben dyshe, " where it was held that the names of the partners to whom the beer was sold need not* be furnished to prove the offence against the 4th section of the Act. Mr Hesketh also urged other instances in which convictions had been recorded in cases where objections similar to those made in this case had been urged. The learned counsel was proceeding with his argument when our reporter left.
