It'is not generally known that Government House at Melbourne is a copy of Os borne House, where the late. Queen died. When Lord Palmerston was Prime Minister the question of an official residence at Melbourne came up for consideration, and a discussion .arose as to the style of building. " Pam" off-handedly sent for a book illustrating the country houses of England? and therein found a picture of the Queen's island home. "That," said he, "is the very t]yng we require." And forthwith, says 'Westminster.Budget,' the official re sidence in Melbourne became a second Osborne.
