negative the motion.
Mr. ',wish,' made a few obeervations in reply ; and the
motion was put, and negatived.
S .me desultory discussion followed respecting the motion
which had teen carried on the previous day, afti r which
Major Ohtelintet took the opportunity to allude to a
statement which had been made in reference to him by a
noble lord a member of the upper house of parliament. He
(Mr. Oliphant) should move fur the papers, now twelve
years old, which threw light r n the subject alluded to by
the noble lord—(the appointment of a superintendent of
cotton cultivation in India)—when be would enter into
further explanations. In the mean time he would say that
the assertion made by,the noble lord regardirg the mooting
of the question when he (Mr. Oliphaut) was elected was
wholly without foundation.
Mr. Iluese wi.hei, before the court upant• d, to know
what course the directors intended to take, with a vi. w of
lay log the opinions of the court of proprietors before parlia-
ment and the government. Thu practice in former years
was that whatever communication took plate between
the secret committee and the government was sub-
mitted to the court, and the op.nion of the latter taken and
forwa-ded to the government. It appeared that in the pre-
sent instance an anplieation watt made on the 311th March to
the President of the Board of Control fur the heads of his
bill, and that no notice whatever wu taken of his letter
until the 9th April. He (Mr. Home) wished to know
wheth. r the directors intended to remonstrate and to snake
arringements for presenting petitions to both houses of
parli.ticient, stating their case, and relieving it IMO the itu•
potations which bad been so recklessly cast on it. Mr.
Hume, in conclusion, et nested his exhortations of Monday
last respecting some sweleficati-n in the system of the at-
cut committee.
After an observation from Mr. WtonAst,
the CHAIRMAN begged to assure Mr. Hume and the
court that hot a moment had been lost in esmmunicating
to the Board of Control the resolution of the previous day:
Of course they had not had an yet time to consider what
further steps they would take, but the court might de-
prod upon it that no unnecessary time would be *lode I.
