(Laughter.) Mr.Barlee's visit to the other colonies must have been beneficial, and he trusted Mr.Barlee would that evening give them his experience of the other colonies.

We have not had an opportunity of hearing of Mr.Barlee, or what he has done since he was in Adelaide.

In Adelaide Sir J.Morphett, the Speaker of the House of Assembly, had said that Mr.Barlee was a hard-working man, and that was a good deal to say for a man in this part of the world.

(Loud laughter.) Mr.Barlee, no doubt, would that evening give them a history of his travels, and tell them what he had done in Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney.

Mr.Barlee was a proven friend of the colonists and of West Australia.
