for a grant of 1,5001. to Captain Daniel Ross, of
the Bonthay marine, for his services iu making sur-
vey's of the China Seas—
Mrl Hutto ruse, not for the purpose of opposing
the grant, for he had made inquiry, and believed
the service' of Captain Ross were highly deserving
some murk of the Company'. approbation, and he
believed that had his valuable charts been on beard
the Aleesie, that vessel would not hove been last. He
hoped that the experience of this Geutlentete•oleld

had been referred, and if the Holt. Proprietor con-
ceived there was any thing inrproper, it was un-
questionably competent fur hint to move for the

Mr. ;lune said, his intention in asking the•ques-
tion was, to suggest to his Hon. Friend (Mr.
Lowndes), whether, Si there existed a fund from
which the Court of Directors could remunerate
officers, it would not be the better mode to apply
to that, if any mute had any claim to prefer, rather
thou make the motion of which he had given notice.

of Mr. Hutne. and hoped the claims of that class
of officers would be impartially attended to when
