IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS EVENING.)

ROYAL ASSENT.

The royal assent was given this day to the Army Ser-
vice Amendment Act.
Their lordships adjourned during pleasure.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.
MAJOR-GEN. VIVIA.N AND THE TURKISH

in the interim, the Treasury were advised that Mr.
Kennedy's patent could not be worked until his succes-
sor had been appointed. Another difficulty arose as to
the Act of Parliament under which that gentleman's
office was(held, and which empowered the Treasury to allo-
cate the duties to be performed to the two commissioners
but not to allocate the whole of the duties to one of the
commissions, and consequently, although Mr. Kennedy
had practically ceased to fulfil the duties of his office,
yet an allocation of office was obliged to be left to him
for the sake of form. Under these circumstances, as
his patent was continued, when the proper officer in the
Treasury by whom salaries are paid came to Mr. Ken-
nedy, he paid that gentleman's salary as a matter of
course.
