lam not aware, nor was I present when a vole ot censure was passed by the Council on my conduct as Speaker. By Mr Hart, — I am not award of any rote where my decisions as Speaker of the House have been overruled. In the session of 18(31 the refreshment room was opea lo tha reporters and the public. Tim room being small, for the better accommodation of mntnbeis, in 1862 I put a paper on the door, th.it it was for mem» hers only, but gave instructions that the mem bers of the press should have what they required in tin; way of refreshment. Ju the third and fouitb session of the Council a room was set apart where the repoilers null members of the press could obtain what refreshment they re quired. A motion was canied on the last day of ihe session, admitting the reporters to Btl luiny'rt on the siuiu! terms as members of Coun cil. The exact words of the motion were — " That membeis of the press be admitted on. tin; same footing as membeis of the Council." ■ I remember ruling Mr C.iijoeuter out of order when he brought forward a m-'iio" without git ing previous notice. On the 25th May List,. Mr Fitzberbeit moved a motion without notice, , for the adjournment of the House. On ihe Bih |, June there was also a motion without notice On one or other occasion, but I cannot tell
