Amendment proposed by the Council to be made to the Appropriation bill, which the Assembly refused to consider. The amendment proposed is a change in the appropriation for the pay of the members, substituting for a lump sum voted by the Assembly an allowance of 10 shillings per day during the session and fourpence a mile for the distance they traveled to reach Halifax.
