Did you ever consent, by Minute or otherwise, to limit the number of appointments to the Legislative Council?
Reply of the Honourable Charles Cowper, Esq., dated Dubbo, 30th June 1869, to the
Honourable John Robertson, Esq., Colonial Secretary, Sydney
I do not remember ever to have pledged myself, either verbally or in writing, to such an agreement, and, unless a document can be produced to the contrary, I do not believe that I ever did so.
