THE SUPERANNUATION BILL.

or /MLA it:lli/jobl7 =Mg tie addition of the fol-
=laves For the purposes of this act no person
to be appointed shall be deemed to have served in
the persomeat civil service of the state makes such person
holes hi appointment directly from the mown, or has been
admitted tote the civil service with a certificate from the
civil sank* etemaiesionere; nor shall any prima shady
appoisted es any altos be held to have served us the perma-
nent civil service as aftgeraid unless such person belong to
• class which I. already entitled to superannuation ellowaeos,
or to • clue in which, if he had been appointed thereto sub-
sequently to the passing of this act, he would, by virtue of
the provision lastly hereisbefore contained, have become
entitled to such allowance; and no person shall be entitled
to any saperannualion allowance under this act unless his
salary or remuneration has been provided out of the Con-
solidated Fend of the United Kingdom of Great Britain
and Ireland, or out of monies voted by pullamest.
After • few words from Mr. Grew, Mr. Conn Mr.
Wilson, Sir. P. Baring, and the Solicitoe-Gemeal,
The dame was screed to.
In answer to a question,
Sir S. NORTHCOTB said he had not made say calcula-
tions, because he could only have done so on • sods much
more favourable than that which was included in the present
bill. At mere, after a certain number of years' s
a public dikter might retire on fall salary, but by treTt
two-thirds wee the lamest superannuation to be allowed in
any case. However, on • rough estimate' he thought that
the operation of the bill might entail anennnal Increased
expense of 70,0001., or thmeaboute. The Post-office
being included in the bill would add 6,000 or 7,000
and an expense of, perhaps, 40,0001. a
r:a*rc.esi het increase from the customs and dockyards
might give 10,0001., and the modified/on of the male might
add 20,0001. a year to the expense. Altogether, be believed
the increased expense would not exceed ,70 0001. • year.
One or two questions having been asked respecting spoil
teats,
Sir S. NORTHCOTE said that the principle of the bill
was that all persona who were regal rad to give their whole
time to the public should be entitled to superannuation under
the act.
The remaining datum were then agreed to and the house
resurned.
The Indemnity Bill, and the Publics Offices Extension Bill,
were read a third time and pissed.

Mr. BORSFALL, la moving for some correspondence,
relied attention to the subject of the intended mail ferrite
battens Galway and America. This service he complained
had be aseigned to a particular line of steamers, the Gal-
way Packet Line, without the usual advertisement for pub-
lic tenders.
Sir 8. NORTEICOTE explained the reasons which bed
induced the government to valve somo of the ordinary coo-
ditioste when granting the mired for a postal =TLC* with
America to the exopeny in question.
Cousidirable dimwit:a followed, in which the merits of
the Galway packet lieu and the conduct of the government
is grandeg the subsidy kw the postal service, were canvassed
at much l,ngtb, chletly by the Dish members. The subject
et hat dropped, the papers moved for havirg been ordered.
