There was little business of interest transacted at the meeting of the Legislative Council. on the 17th inst., the principal matter for consideration being the Sanitary p Byelaws which had been sent back by the Sanitary Board with suggestions. Mr. Whitehead vat and ualfmaited powers the officers of in drew attention to the the Sanitary Board would acquire under these bye-laws, and the Governor had again to remind him thst none but thorough qualified officers approved personally by hhimselt would be allowed to exercise those vers. The bye-laws were approved, and fr. Whitehead then rose to a point of order, He complained that the unoffi members had only been supplied with copies of the bye-laws two days before their consideration, asked that in future such documents may be issued in time to allow proper consideration of them, and went on to say that he thought the unofficial members should be treated with a little more con-Sideration by the Colonial Secretary. The Colonial Secretary said he thought that the request made by the hou. member with regard to the sanitary bye-laws was a reason! ne, and one that His Excellency would see carried out. With regard to the focusation made against him by the hor member, he regretted that Mr. Whitehead held such an opinion, bat trusted his colleagues did not share it, The matter then dropped. Several Bills were read a second and third time and passed.
