MINUTES OF EVIDENCE.
Martir, 27 die Fesriurrij, 1821.
Mr. SERJ LA NT ONSLOW in the Chair.
Mr. Thorivaii Allan, of Frederick's place, Obi Jewry,
Solicitor, called in, and examined.
Have you made asiy.iiiipiiries at the Universities respect.

and have convoked with some or the Heads of Horses'
the subject of the proposed Bill.
[Utters end communications front several Heads
lees and other persona of consideratile weight to
Universities, whose sentiments were decidedly favourable
the proposed plan, were read
1 log leave to add, that isty sentiments on the subject

I enclosed to the Holds of Houses of both Uiviversities,
resprcting, wale+ the favourable answers were returned.

but a serrate, which requires two years beyond the age of
