He had told the hoop, that the commission was not to be
executive, but he bad gone on to speak of the inquiry with
respect to ehapters and municipal corporations. If the in-

DEFALCATIONS IN BENGAL.
Mr. ROEBUCK moved for a select committee, to inquire
into the defalcations occurring daring the registrarship of
Sir T. Tattoo, Reg-stria of the Sorrento Court of Judi-
cature at Bengal. He sold that Sir T. Tinton had been
app dialed under the Witt Geo. 111 , antitheft by the powers
of that act the property of all pi noes dying intestate in
that presidency was of n•aesaity placeo in his hands. Hair-
hag to obtained the property to question, it became lost,
and the unfortunate sufferers now MM. and asked the house
of Commons to determire what ought to be done with them.
There were not two apini-rre that, so far at they wire con
earned, they had a door c aim upon somebody to have their
property restored. He, therefore, asked for a committee to
inquire when the facies were with respect to these tritium-
ti and to is Rudy the mischief. He abstained from
,ffering any opinion ou the subject, and he had only to hope
the' his request would not be rehired, inasmuch as it was au
appeal to the justice of the hogs..
Sir J. C HOBHOUSE thought it impossible for the
House of Commons to refits the inquiry now sought for.
(Hear, hear.) A similar unfortunate cite bad occurrod in
the year Ib2B, and in IN3O the Holm of Commons, almost
without any discussion, appointed a committee to inquire
into t►e circumstances that had produced the defa'estnirs
which had occurred in the presidoney of Madras. The
hove. member tor Sheffield had very properly refrained
from offering any opinions upon the present ease, at d, there-
fore, it was a perfectly legitimate subject for a committee to
ascertain tree extent of the evil and to remedy it. At
present he would not enter into the merits of the case; but
the time might come, after the committee had deliberated
and returned their report, when he should feel it his duty
to exprese his opinion in reference to the case. At present
be did not feel himself called upon to do more thin atqui see,
and he would say very cordially acquiesce, ia the request of
the hoe. muskier. (Hear, hear.)
Sir J. W. HO 30 said he entirely acquiesced In all the
observations of the hon. gentleman who bat moved for the
committee. It was a fit and proper subject for a committee,
