Mr. Harkhess suggested that the Governor should be informed of the tact that he may call them together to reconsider their illegal action. Mr. Hulse (Mr. Burgess m the chair) stated that he had been informed that the action of the Council was caused by a misapprehension on their part. He suggested that as the Council had left the chamber the easiest way to get out of the difficulty was by the adoption of a simple resolution to mittee, on in as the Council hal journ.
