This'is the case with regard to a general redistribution ol the seats of the Province. On either side of the house it was admitted that,the sudden increase of the population in ,cpriain sections had ��� 'seriously "affected the equity of the' present arrangement, so lhat in some of the newer constituencies there was eight times as many voters as iw some others. It was hold however lhat until the conclusion of the ., Dominion census, which will probably be taken next spring, no interference should be made al present, and Mr. Brown's motion was accordingly voted down as inopportune^ The' supplementary estimates were brought down during the week.
