THE LATE MR. T. E. TAYLOR.

LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL’S SYMPATHY. (Per Press Association.) Wellington, July 29. The Legislative Council met at 11 o’clock' and passed the Imprest Supply ; Bill without debate. In moving a resolution expressing appreciation of the late Mr T. E. Taylor ’ ami condolence with bis widow and family the Hon. J. McGowan said tho deceased was a unique personality. He had not unfittingly been termed the stormy petrel of New Zealand politics, and his censure was severe even to the extent of ruthlessness. Yet ho was correspondingly liberal in his praise, which, being carefully bestowed, was all the more appreciated. In his advocacy of any cause he espoused lie was wholesouled and characteristically effective, and New Zealand grieved to-day at the cutting off of a public-spirited legislator and citizen. , The Hon. R. A. Louglman, in a brief eulogy, seconded tho motion. The Hons. Barr and Paul also made appreciative speeches. The motion was carried and tho Council rose till 7.30 p.m. on Tuesday.
