TtJNE 27, 1857. ee-wir ft* C T S u This subject being under the consideration of a Select Committee of the Flonse of Cbminons, the ManufaCturers and Contractors, who, feeling a deep interest in the inquiry, have associated themselves for the purpose of watching the proceed ings, are desirous of obtaining information from those best ac quainted with the working of the present system. It has been stated that favouritism is exercised; that the conditions of a contract are arbitrarily and sometimes tyranni cally enforced, whilst, at other times, they are evaded with impunity; that the inspection is sometimes made by ignorant or unqualified examiners, and sometimes by venal officers acting under Improper influences, and from whose decision there is no appeal. It is desirable that these imputations upon officials. if true, should be established by evidence before the Committee now sitting. It is also desirable that information be supplied as to the sale of stores, &c., in the several De partmeuts, whether by Anetion or by Private Contract; with the original price of the artiele—what it produced on sale—and at what cost it could be replaced to the Government. Those possessing information upon these points are respect ally invited to oommtrniqaffipersonally, or by letter, with JAMES ACLAND, June, DAL 16, Cannon•atreet, Cl4•,l;ondon.
