Representation of the colonies m the Imperial Parliament. He ftared that, unless the union between the colonies and the Empire were drawn closer m some such way, the former would drift apart altogether ere long. If the colonies united m asking fa? representation he thought they would get it. Major Atkinson, did not think representation m tho Imperial Parlia*, xnent would be of 'use," but he hoped that federation would ultimately take place. England seemed to be awak~; ing to the necessity for this, and it was well for the colonies to discuss and consider the subject He looked forward to a federation of all Engp lish speaking p6pplp. He suggested that- tfie : motion should now be withdrawn. Mr Montgomery opposed the motion,. Tc preserve our loyalty we iriust be free from interference by : a foreign power. He hoped th at there would never be which, would give a right to any ioj-eign power to interfere with, our.affairs. Mp Cadman moved, That all Bills to fee jfttrpcluced into Parliament Bhould' be circulated for one month befoi*e being introduced. • Major Atkinson, said thae the idea was impracticable. 1 '"■ After a few remarks from Messrs Hursthouse and S epherd, iri favor of curtailing excessive legislation, the motion was negatived. - 1 ' Jphe, (legate ;was Besumed pn.
