The \ Ncriimit of the EXCHEQUER moved the
second te.t,tnte of the Civil List Bill. _

Sir It. HERON said, it was impossible for hint to ap.
prove of th.s proceeding, when the Civil List was fixed
at the highest rate, now that the country wa. in the se-
verest dist' ess— vi hen it WAS tioftill fit! whether then ermine

word, bin lie was afraid that the mention was made only

Bill read a second time, and on the motion that it be
committed on Alotiday,
Mr. HUME complained of the want of information.

never been iteoperly acted upon; and lie maintained that
the acconats could be and ought to besimplified. The
House was tieated most unworthily by the refusal of tie-
counts ; secrecy and seclusion would do a good deal of
harm in the conittiy.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply,
denied that there was any improper concealment, and
added, that in the Civil List Accounts, et the Consoli-
dated Fallti Accounts, all the items were to be found
sufficiently detailed.—Motion agreed to.
