Premier, and was disposed to trust him. , He would wait to see him make one or it two mistakes more, before he condemned. him and would support any good measures the Government might bring down. Mr. MATCHEI'T (South Victoria) El said he had been elected by aotsltunatioir, , " a supporter of the Government, and he 1' had " much cottfidesnett in all the other H" members of that Government as he had l in the Premier. a Hon. Mr. MolURRICE said, although M, the hour was late, he wished to say a few l ~ words, as he had no desire to appear he. . fore this house or the country in any other than his true charscter~that of a Reformer.
