The Lieutenant-Governor, having waited till almost the commencement of a new financial year, when the session of council could no longer be constitutionally postponed, summoned it for despatch of business, informing Governor Grey, who was in page 28 Auckland, by letter of his reasons for doing so. Governor Grey directed him to postpone the session, on the ground that he hoped shortly to hear from her Majesty's Government on the subject of the future form of government. Several of the nominee members, considering themselves thus made of no account, resigned, respecting which correspondence will be found in the Parl. Papers, 7th August, 1851, p. 34, &c. Governor Grey, in his despatch, commenting on the predicament in which the Government was placed by this step, lays the blame on Lieutenant-Governor Eyre, a view which Lord Grey adopts in his reply, printed at page 194 of the same papers. How far Mr. Eyre was to be blamed, may be judged from the ground on which Lord Grey censures him. His lordship distinctly states, that he would have been excusable "if, among the subjects for which he proposed to call the legislature together, he had mentioned a supply ordinance." Yet, on turning to Mr. Eyre's letter, at p. 35, it appears that the necessity of passing an "appropriation ordinance," (the same thing as a "supply ordinance,") is the very reason assigned by him.
