CIVIL LIST BILL.
Lord CASTLEREAGH Moved, that the 1-100;*
should resolve itself into • Committee on the Civil
List Bill.
Mr. BENNETT said that he wisher! to take this
opportunity of saying a few words respecting the
Civil List, and its the first place be meld not help
expressing 1111 regret that his 'Majesty's Ministers
should introduce the 801 l now peraceited to them,
which was the work of ■ Committee, apirodited
tirely by the Ministers of the Crown. From the
Report of a Committee thus appointed Ministers
had the presumption, without any further inquiry,
to come and ask for a Civil List equal to that which
was grouted in 1816. Ile well reuse mitered the
arguments used on that occasion fur granting so very •
large a suns ; they were, that the time would crime
when the state of the Civil List cautel he properly
inquired tutu; that it probably would very soon are
rive, and that then the requisite- retrenchments • I
might he made; but slow, forsooth. tl.ey were to Sr

grounds on whirls to proceed, documents which Os
we un(feratood the Don. Member) I;ati never beru
fairly laid before the House. Ile for our lead no
hesitation in saying, that he thought the sum theta
granted trio great even for that year, and far too
much for time year, in which the Crown would be
15 per cent. better than in 18 16.—(lleor,hear.)-s

however, it seemed that the CrnAii wivlit at pre..

something for the people. !low ditfe•rent was the
conduct of Ministers during the last reign, from
that which it had beru under the reign of his late
Majesty's excellent predecessor ! lii the reign of •
George 11. (as we understood the Hun. Member)
the Sat•retary of State, Mr. Pelham. had volun-
tarily conic forward to surrender loan el the Civil
List for the benefit of ilw country, whereas its the
last reign Ilie Civil List debts were tine times I,llld,
to the amount of four millions and upwards.
During the !art of y years, however, she country
had the irnsfortutse to be governed by the same set,

worth noticing. It was, he said, persons of the
