Colonel ANSON hoped the hen. member for Montrose
Weald not move the resolution of which he had given notice
ce the present occasion. The vote which he (Colonel Amain)
1104 to more now was for the ordnance excess of 1846, of
97,5811. Previous to that year the ordnance as-
comets were not made up at the elc as of the year,
bit a balance in hand was carried to the cre-
dit of the department, and subleqcently appropriated
tithe pubVe service, but not brought into charge. Under
thme circumstances, no balance-sheet was hid before parlia-
ment; there was only a running amount. A great improve-
ment had a nee been made, bt which parliament had ac-
quired the supervisiin of this nt within the year,
aml that alteration had prosed moat beneficial to the public
esrvice.
