The Council of Seven sat around the table; all others stood.

All the Council sat with downcast eyes, as if in deep thought.

The Council as a whole would sit as the supreme court for the colony.

The Council sat for the first time in May 1899.

The Council and witnesses sat at a table at the base of the amphitheatre.

The Council sat silently waiting behind him, aware of how close to rage he was.

The Council has sat on the regulation for far too long.

The Council is sitting on a proposal in selected areas at the moment.

I am disappointed that the Council is not sitting here today, listening to Parliament's debate with us.

But, having been denied any form of democratic control for nearly 50 years, the new Council did not sit idly by.
