Mr A. Deakin feared the Government had not realised the soriousness of the position, and said he regarded the fa _ in tbe Colony's Btocks was due t. the rejection of the Land Tax Bill. The acion of the Government, he thought, amounted a most to a sacrifice of prinoiple, and he considered the Government might have adopt.d a course which would have asserted the right of the Lower C? am ber.
