The Goveroment’s proposal contained in letter of the 6th November 1865 concerning aid«from the Immigration-Fund for the impor tation of laborers. e His Exeellency introduced the case and stated the reasons that bad given rise so the Kr_qposah He observed, that the amount on and here belonging to the fund would meet the introduction of about 300 laborers, calcul ated at.sl6 pr. immigrant, and in the event of the want being felt for a Jarger importation, the question would be laid befora the Colonial Council and measures be adopted to obtain means from the mothercountry out of the funds deposited there, bearing interest at the rate of 3 per cent. A lengthy discussion followed among several of the members. In consequence of a question arising respecting the expected arrival of laborers imported by a planter, which immigrants, ac cording to the resolution lately adopted, are to be made over to the Immigration Committee for allotment, viz: if the Committee were principally to consider the previous requisitions mads to the planter in question, the matter was, after a short discussion, decided thus, that the Committee should consider such requisitions, but at the same time also take into considera tion those planters applying for laborers who are in actual want of labor. His Excellency remarked, that he would lave a notice drawn up regarding requisitions to be handed to the Committee, the security offered to be mentioned. i L ‘T'he proposal was put to the vote and adopt ed unanimously with 15 votes.
