Mr. Lawns objected that the proposal of Captais
M'Oregor shut oat the Queen's name, who were u instru-
mental in smistalaing our rule is India as t►ou of the
India& may.
Mr. C concurred with the chairman that the diM-
, eulties in the way of carrying the proposition into effect
were iasurinuantable.

Captain ld'Oanoon, after a brief reply, asked to with-
draw hi. motion, bat an hon. proprietor objecting, it was
pet and aegatived, two hands only being held nii in its
favour._

The CHAIRMAN, in referents to Colonel Pickenren's
motion, which stood next on the paper, via., That copies
of the Report of the Cernmiolion which wu appointed in
1350.51 by the Governor-General of India to investigate
certain charges against Ali Mond, Amen of Kipper, in
Upper Seinele, and of the minutes thereon by the Indian
governments; also of the Report on Seinde by Sir George
Clerk, late Governor of Bombay, be laid before the court of
proprietors," intimated that the report of the committee of
the Horne of Commons appoioted to inquire Into the sub.
feet had been laid before that house, but it was so volunti•
nous that it had not yet been pristed. All the papers
moved for by the hon. proprietor were already before the
court of proprietors, with one exception—the minute of Sir
George Clerk—which the minister of the crown had felt it
his duty to refuse to parliament at present.
Colonel Diecausom wu proceeding to address the court,
but wu stopped on a point of order.
The CHAIRMAN thought that as the papers were not
objected to but had already been produced, it was nut coin-
petrol to enter into any discussion.
Colonel DICKIIMIIHN contended that, one important paper '
being refused, be had • right to address the court. I
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. SULLIVAN took the SHIM view, and promised to sup-
port the hon. proprietor if he world divide the court.
Mr. Serjrant Gasatze and Colonel Straus thought the
ezplanation of the chairman sufficient, and urged Colonel
Mickenton not to persevere.
Mr. SULLIVAN said the only ground for refitting the
paper that could be received was danger to the public
interest. l'alces they had an &saurian to that effect, he
for oar should not be satisfied, nor did he think would be
the public. He hoped Colonel Dickenson would press his
motion. (erne or Order, order.")
The CII•IitMAN and of course it was open for that
court to press for the production of any paper that had
come into the possession of the directors, even though it
had been refused by the minister; bat the privilege wu
one that ought not lightly to be resorted to. 11 the boo.
proprietor insisted, of course he could make the motion,
and he (the chairman) must put it to the court.
Colonel DICILILISON then formally moved the resolution,
sad intend Into some details of the cue to which it re-
fined._

Mr. SULLIVAN seconded the resolution, and stated that
the minute of Sir G. Clerk was essential to enable the
court and the public to understand the question as to Ali
Morad's culpability.
Mr. Serjtant OAZZLEZ considered the chairman had
given a sufficient reason for refusing the paper at present.
flow did the court know that, though the document had
been refused by the government now leaving office, it
would nit be produced readily by their successors ? And
surely it could make tio difference whether the production
were • week or a month or two sooner or later. He hoped,
as the motion had been made, that it would not be allowed
to be withdrawn, but that it would be put and negatived.
After some conversation,
The CHAIIINAK put the question, which he reminded the
court was simply whether the minute of Sir G. Clerk
should be produced at the present moment.
Mr. Lawns thought the court was altogether lade-
pendent of the BA of Control, and it was no reason,
because that body had expressed ft particular opinion, that
the proprieties should be bound by it. (Gear, ear.)
The motion, on being put to a show of hands, was lost by
a large majority.
Colossi Dicta:sena then moved, "That some improved
organisation of the survey department in India, and of the
mapping office in this country, is urgently called for, for
making available to the public in a more convenient form,
and with greater expedition than heretofore, the stores of
statistical data and geographical delineations, with which
there is reason to believe the records of government have
been long enriched; also for securing to the public, by
means of more systematic and timely publication, the ad.
vantage, of the rums still in progress, and of those witch
may tie hereafter undertaken in our own territories, as well
as in those of our allies."

—.—
The CUAIRIIIME intimated that the object of the motion
had been caned oat by rceent arrangement. The maps
were already in the bon, proprietor's blade. (near.)
Colonel Dicaxxsox expressed himself satisfied, and with-
draw the resolution..

Mr. LEWES mooed, " That this court is of opinion that
the privilege of election of directors of the Havt India Cont.
li pony should be extended to parties holding stock of the
government of India."
Mr. f3erjeaut OAZCLZI thought the subject was one
which had better be lett to the Committee of the House of
Commons now sitting on Indian affairs. If the proxies of
proprietors In India were admitted, they would get into
the baud., of one or two bankers here who would swamp the
court. _ _

Several other proprietors exprewred a similar opinion.
The CHAIRMAN thought the motion would be suicidal to
the proprietors. To extend the franchise to every bolder
of stock in India would in effect be to swamp the handful
of not India proprietors here, and amount to a breach of
faith. If such a step were to be takes, let it come from an
unfriendly head, and not from a member of that court.
(Hear, hear.) He concurred with fkrjeant Owls" that it
would be batter to leave the matter in the hands of the
Committee of the Home of Commons and Lords now
sitting.
Mr. Lewair never knew a body of gentlemen holding so
large an amount of property who showed so little disposi-
tion to exercise their rights, or who exhibited so little inile.
pendeace, u that court. (.. Hear" and a laugh.) They
should recollect that they did not direct the business of that
Company for their own exclusive Moat, bat for the benefit
of the lodine empire. (Hear.)
The motion was then pat and negatived.
Mr. Liman that moved the following resolution
" That this court is of opinion that an opportunity should
be afforded to the natives of India of being heard by their
representatives is the discussions about to take place is
lorllanieat Mann to the renewal of the charter of the Hat
India Compsny."
Captain IM amours seconded the motion ; sad, after a
brief discussion,
The CHAIRMAN &mooted that it was sot for that court
to dielnie to the MIIIIMMIUMIS of parliament what evidence
they should cell before them, the mere especially as these
searalue bed emir to no resolution opium receiving the
hmtkeambe yof natives el India by any moans by which it
