THE Wellington Independent Thursday, July 31, 1862. POST SCRIPT.
MR. DOAIETT SENT FOR. The House of Representatives met at 12 to-day.
Mr. Stafford announced that on Tuesday last he waited on His Excellency by request, who desired to entrust him with, the formation of a Ministry. For certain reasons ha was unable to do otherwise than decline the task His Excellency sought to impose upon him; but recommended that Mr. 'Fitzgerald should be sent for, as a gentleman possessing the goodwill of members of all parties, and owing- to his long absence from the Assembly, not liable to be checked by party animosities.
After some routine business,
Mr. Fitzgeiuxd said it would perhaps ouly embarass the efforts that might be made to form a Government, if he detailed the results of the negotiations he had undertaken at the request of His Excellency. He wouici only say that Mr. Domett had been sent for.
The House then adjourned to 12 to-morrow
