complained that owing to tne aboard regulations of the sere

Mr. HUMS rejoiced to hear it, and hoped his right hon.
friend would go still turaer, and procure the repeal of the
statute which prevented an officer iu th., lodise army from
acquiring lewd after the expiration of ten years that honour
which he might obtain without any such limit if in the im-
mediate service of the crown. If any service deserved at.
tention, it wag that of !edit. (Hier, hear.) With regard
to the subject matter et the debate, he admitted that it wss
desirable .0 keep such questions out of the House of Com

With regard to the private property of the late rajah, his
right hon. Isieod wee under a mistake when be said he had
never acquired any. He (Mr. Hume) ha i seen a list of the
private property which was delivered over to Cul. Ovens,
and to that property the rajah's heir wee justly mita d.
Amongst it thin was a large 1111011 of money which the ra-
