560 PARLIAMENTS OF THE DOMINIONS [PART 1II We have caused a case to be prepared setting forth the questions which have so arisen, and which we desire to be so submitted in the words following :— 1. The Constitution Act of Queensland, 31 Vict. No. 38, contains the following provisions :— Section 1. ‘There shall be within the said Colony of Queensland a Legislative Council and a Legislative Assembly.’ Section 2. ‘ Within the said Colony of Queensland, Her Majesty shall have power, by and with the advice and consent of the said Council and Assembly, to make laws for the peace, welfare, and good government of the Colony in all cases whatsoever. Provided that all Bills for appro- priating any part of the public revenue, for imposing any new rate, tax, or impost, subject always to the limitations hereinafter provided, shall originate in the Legislative Assembly of the said Colony.’ Section 18. ‘It shall not be lawful for the Legislative Assembly to originate or pass any vote, resolution, or Bill, for the appropriation of any part of the said Consolidated Revenue Fund, or of any other tax or impost to any purpose which shall not first have been recommended by a message of the Governor to the said Legislative Assembly during the session in which such vote, resolution, or Bill shall be passed.’ 2. Sections 1 and 2 are re-enactments of sections 1 and 2 of the Order in Council of 6th June 1859, providing for the constitution of the Colony of Queensland. Section 18 is a re-enactment of section 55 of the Act of New South Wales, 17 Vict. No. 41, contained in the first schedule to the Imperial Act, 18 & 19 Vict. co. 54. 3. The members of the Legislative Council are nominated by the Governor for life, subject to certain contingencies. The members of the Legislative Assembly are elected by the several constituencies into which the Colony is divided. 4. During the sessions of 1884 and 1885, © A Bill to provide for the payment of the expenses incurred by members of the Legislative Assembly in attending Parliament’ was passed by the Legislative Assembly, and on each occasion rejected by the Legislative Council. No limit was proposed to the duration of this Bill. 5. In the estimates of expenditure for the year 1885-6, which were laid before the Legislative Assembly in the session of 1885, after the rejection of this Bill for the second time by the Legislative Council, there was included under the heading of ‘ The Legislative Assembly’s Establishment ’. an
