been proposed to raise two SWISS Regiments to light against
the Kafiri, and who were to colonise the mountain
Monti. rs as military settiers. The late government wit
the subject into considerati nr, but came to no decision. and
sines the present government had been in office no further
application had been male on the subject, and no steps hind
'men taken in the matter. There were, in fact, no funds
applicable to the sending of emigran•s to the Cape. With
regard to the ether gention, he could say that Sir George
Clark would carry out the intentions of the government,
which he (Mr. Pei I) hid explained the other day when
this subject was dimusse, and the government must wait
our information from Sir S. Clark before they decided on
the destination of the Orange Territory after the evacuation

from the due execution of his office, or should have con-
tinued in any office or offices for twenty years, and she slid
be desirous of resuming the same; sod whereas, by the net
of the sth year of the reign of her present Majesty, e. 5,
certain of the sworn clerks and side clerks of the Court of
Exchequer were appointed registrars and clerks to regis-
trars of the Court of Chancery, nod it is expedient that the
time during which they hid held the offices of sworn clerks
aid s'ile clerks of the said Court of Exchequer should, for the
purposes hereinafter mentioned, be added to the time during
which they have been registrars and clerksof registrars of the
Court of Chancery ; be it therefore enacted, that the Com-
miumaers of her Majesty's Treasury, in ascertaining and

to any registrars and clerks to registrars of the Court of

clause, the effect of which was, that the fend which hail been
transferred from the equity side of the Court of Ext Neer
to the suitor.' lee fend in Chancery, and out of which the
salaries of certain officers were paid, should be exempted
from income tax.
Mr. WALPOLE said if he understood the clause a por-
tion of a suitors' fee fund, which was transferred to
another lead, was exempted from income Cox, which was to
pay salaries of ofßeers who were to pay income tax. If he
was the Chancellor of the Exchequer be would not give up
the revenue derived from the income tax so payable.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the suitors' fucd
was payable to no one, and he thought it might be ex•
opted from income tax. However, he would withdraw
the dame.
