SUPPLY,

the report of the co
Mr. FITZROY brought up
rnittee of supply.
Sir F. BARING objected to the proposition for re-
tired allowances, considering them far too large, a
totally uncalled for. It was true that many officers had

done great service, bug; he could not see the necessity of
re warding them so liberally.
Sir D. NORREYS considered the proposition for re-
tired allowances totally uncalled for, and one which never

buildings to be referred to the Lord-Lieutenant, who
' shall appoint a commiss;on unconnected with the Board
of Works to examine and report theraon. He complained
of questions of this importance being brought forward at
so late a period of the session that it could not be pre-
