The Earl of Glasgow to Lord Knutsford.

(Received 11th August 1892.)

Telegraphic.

From information which I have received, I consider that the Legislative Council consists of the Speaker, 12 Ministerialists, and 22 Members of the Opposition, four of these Councillors being absent from the Colony.

The differnce between these figures and the estimate of Premier, as I reported in my Despatch of the 22nd June, is accounted for by disapproval of certain measures which were not brought before the country at Election, and which deprive the Government of considerable support in the Council.

Reference from Ministers to the Secretary of State for the Colonies on this subject leaves by post to-day, with my remarks.

No. 6.
