Mr. W. DUNDAS treated the bufiaefs as a trick upon Parliament, and the Hon. Gentleman's reafon. ing could not apply. as the paper had not been tlgned by the returning officer. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUEI Paid, it appeared from the Petition, that there were two documents, the one a ken jar return, and the otbey a mere nullity.

WATS ASO ISSAIIM On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. the Hoofs having refolvtd itfdf into a Committee of the whole Hook. for the pur pare of confidering further of Ways and Means &w railing the (applies to be granted to his Majelly. • Mr. DENT took the opportunity of easing the Right Hon. Gentleman. whether any mature was propored to be taken relative to a fub he had for merly mentioned. the relief to be afforded to ban. ken and perfuns receiving dividends, and who. as the Income Tax Row Rood, were liable to penalties? He alfa begged leave to enquire, at what period it was to be confidered that the Loyalty Loan was re deemable t He knew that the opinion of the Astor ney-General had been taken on the &Nee. but the opinion of others bad been alto coufulted. and Inwas at a lots to know which was to be followed. - - The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. replied, that, with refped to the firli point, he was &tided the Houle would think it iacumbent upon them to relieve the parties from the penalties to which they were liable. A Bill might be brought in before the reeds, or the Houle might interfere for Raying procefs. With regard to the (mood point, the Loyalty Loan, an application had been certainly made for the purpof of afeertaining the ineßion. and the opinions of the Attorney and SoliettorGe neral having been taken, they were communicated to die Bank, where the Honourable Gentleman might faddy hintfelf upon that head. Mr. DENT (aid, if he underftood the Right Hon. Gentleman tightly, he had prontifid a Chore Bill thould be brought in bdoic the recef., for the relief of the parties receiving dividends. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER declared it was the with of Government, and he was confident of the Houle, to take the heft and calle! meafures for their relief. No neglea or delay had occurred on his part, and if he thought it would more particularly faddy the parties, he felt pleafure in raying, that a propofition to that effea fltould be immediately fubmitted to the Houfe. He hoped, however, the Hon. Gentleman would excufe him, if he made the necefrary enquiries with refped to the real fentimeuts of the perfons who were molt lute retied in the quellion. Mr. PITT raid a few words in explanation of the original tranfaktion of the Loyalty Loan, in which, he raid, a (mall error had crept in, for which he con feied hiinfelf refponfible, as he was a principal party to that tranfaetion, and in which the Ad of Paths. ment was not fo favourable to the flibfcribers as the refolution upon which they fubfcribed. He could not however fee the neceffity, or ufefolnefs, of the opinion of the Attorney-General, as it was a point in which a quelion of good faith was involved. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER af lured the Houfe, that great pains had been taken by Government to afeertain the true underdanding of the parties in that tranfadion. After the opinion of the Law Officers bad been taken, he fhould not cer- tainly have gifted according to his duty. had he done any thing contrary to that opinion. So far. indeed. he was tied up. He had not retied there; be had taken every pains to afcertain the fentiments of the parties, but he had heard nothing that would have jullified him in bringing it before the Houfe. Mr. PITT was fir from entertaining an idea that the advice of the Attorney Genet.' llwuld not be Aced, but the faith which had been placed in the refolutions of that Houfe fhnuld not be tendered dif advantageous or prejudicial to fuch perfons as had repofed that confidence in the Houfe. Mr. VANSITTART, after having made every inquiry, never underfiood that any very ferious com plaints were entertained. The Houle then went into the Committee, Mr. A ****** IR in the Chair. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER Paid, if Gentlemen would look to page 3 of the ac• counts of the grants for the fervice of the year 1863. they would ind that the giants for the naval fervice of that year amounted to L. 943 1 .37 1 The demands for the fervi,t of tint &put:neat amountc4 to 8.174 711 The grants bad, therefore, exceeded the demand by 1.7 769611 This being the cafe, he fbould propole, as was tl.c uftial cuiltim, to grant the furplus tuwards the Ways and Means for railing the Supply to be granted to hii Majelly for the prcfent year. if it were not fur a circumstance in the s Ith page. This was. that 1 . - veral payments had been made for other fervices n( .t belonging to the year 1803. amounting to 579,7 , - 6 . There demands all made by authority of Aets of Parliament. had been fatisfied by the Admiralty. out of the Ways and Means of the year. It was ufual when the vote was infufficient for the fervice, to move the Comftlittee of Supply to make good the deficiency. There the grant was more than ft.fficient. and the furplus would of cootie be carried to the fervice of the year. The furplus was reduced by the payments here advanced to 1,370,6691. It was neceffary to apprife the Committee that the furplus of t,766,c0d. was not to be confidered as a raving in expenditure. It was not to be underflood. that the expellee was fo much lets than the fum voted. There •was an increafe of navy debt to the amount oi 931,3521.
