Mr. Ramsay, M.L.A., in seconding the resolution, expressed his full concurrence with the opinion it contained; and stated that he would do his best in his place in Parliament to support any motion for carrying it into practical effect. (Applause.)
The resolution was put and carried.
On the motion of Dr. Wilkie, seconded by Captain Matthews, a vote of thanks was given to the chairman.
The chairman, in acknowledging the compliment, gave an emphatic contradiction to an opinion which, he said, he understood had been expressed in some quarters, that Landsborough and McKinlay had had tracks to guide them in their exploration journeys.
The proceedings then terminated, the meeting, in response to Dr. Macadam, giving three hearty cheers for the explorers.
