THE LATE CAPTAIN MONCK
RESOLUTION OF LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL. In the Legislative Council last night, the Hon. H. D. Bell moved the following motion : — "The Council has learned with deep regret that m the list of the brave ofheers recently fallen in battle in the defence of the Empire is included tho name of Captain Monck, brother of the Countess bf Liverpool. The Council joins the House of Representatives in assuring Her Excellency of the sympathy of the Houses of Parliament and the people of New Zealand in her loss " Mr. Bell said that when the news of the war first came to us Lady Liverpool proved het sympathy with the country is which her husband was the King's representative, by initiating and presiding over an organisation set up for the special provision of the soldiers who had gone t fight in the Army where her brother had fallen. So quietly and unostentatiously had the work been done by Lady Liverpool that few knew of the demands upon her time and her health that it had proved. It was little to say to her that the people of New Zealand sympathised with her. The Hon. Captain Baillie seconded the motion, and spoke in sympathetic terms of the loss sustained' by Her Excellency. The motion was carried in silence.
