laud.

ting duties, they ought to think of reducing them. Gentlemen

rectors should think fit, end that the country banks world be
compelled to pay in Bank of England one-pound notes, con-
vertible on demand into specie.
Mr. H. CL:RN El' wished to know to what period the ope-
ration of the bill, which the Chancellor of the Exchequer in-
tended to found upon his ft s❑luticn, would extend.
