The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 80a

Memorandum from the Premier

Memorandum from the Premier.

The Premier presents his compliments to his Excellency, and has perused the Memorandum proposed to be left for Lord Glasgow. The Premier does not at present see the necessity of going into the question at length. The Government think that their position in the Council is such that the legislation demanded by the country cannot be given effect to, and that, in order to carry out the will of the people, as represented at the ballot-box, at least twelve new Councillors ought to be created. The Premier does not acknowledge the accuracy of the article contained in the "Evening Post," a journal personally and malignantly hostile to the Government.
