WEDNISDAY.

Mr. Donsiol called attention to the supplementary
estimates. which amount to £117,1110, which swallow up
the estimated surplus and create a probable deficit of
.C.100.1.10U.
The eIIANCELLOIt of the EXCHILIeUnt said his promo&
had been justified-
Mr. Guinsroxx insisted these supplementary votes were
a series of little budgets, which aniceabal the real state of
our finances, luta by which the responsibility of new taxa-
tion was avoided; and he wound %no with a vehement
denunciation of what he called the •' three-fold cord" of
Conservative financial policy —stoadily to increwai the ex-
penditure, to vote sums for this reduction of the debt, and
never to impose a new tax.

Dr. ICI:MALY called attention to the sentence passed on
Colonel Maker. An ordinary sentence for an indoczat
assault cot ttttt Med on a defenceless young lady in a
railway carriage would involve hard labour. But this
man, becaum he happened to he a colonel in the army
and was supposed to be a brilliant ornament an certain
circles of society received a sentence that weant that the
rank and high and fashionable surroundings of colonels
in the army should stand between them and justice. The
colonel would sutler no punishment except detention.
This gentleman in gaol would le allowed to amuse Ishm-
ael( and to receive Isis friends as he pleased, subject to no
restriction. No doubt be would le visited by persona of
the class who were beside him at his trial.
