FINSBURY PARK.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER in reply to:s
question from Mr. T.Dritcomna on this subject, stated that
the new estimate had been received from the architect, and
been examined,but he was sorry to say that he did not feel him-
self justified in introducing any bill during the present session
for formation of the park, the data which had been fur-
nished to him not being of that satisfactory character to
justify him in incurring the responsibility of doing so. At
the same time the subject would receive the continued at-
tention of the government, and as soon as they saw their
way clear to the introduction of such a bill they would
bring it in. (Hear.)
THE FISHERIES TREATY.
Mr. HENLEY, in reply to Sir G. Pxertstx, said that
amongst the other provisions of the act of parliament
on this matter was one forbidding any fishing
boat to have, from the Ist of May to the lot of An-
gust, any dredge or other implement on board for the pare
pose of taking °tette,. Her Matjesty's government had re-
ceived front the French government an intimation of that
intention to carry out the treaty, and wishing this govern-
ment to do the same. They had also received memorial'
from various bodies of fishermen on the subject, the
fishermen of Dover and Kent praying that the act should
be relaxed, and those of Whitstable and Eases requesting
iti strict enforcement. Under these eiretimstances the go-
vernment bad no choice but to have the law, while it re-
mained law, fully carried out. Under the present law
there was no prohibition of oysters either being landed or
sold—the only thing forbidden was the having of dredges on
board, the object of that enactment being no doubt to pre-
vent poaching.
COLONEL OUTRAM AND THE BARODA
INQUIRY.
Mr. TERRIES on being interrogated by Mr. ANstavt

any kind against the government of Bombay, as had been
alleged, or any of the civil servants of the East India Com-
' paity•—the accusations being directed against subordinate
native servants only.

question, but 'add he was ready to consider any particular
citt6 that might be brought before him.
