Sir J. PAKINGTON would only repeat that he did
not consider himself justified in entering into the ques-
tion under the presrnt circumstances.
Mr. B. COCHRANE was of opinion that Sir James
Brooke had lost a Nreat deal of his private fortune.
Mr. HUME had understood that coal had been found
at Labuan, and, struck with the importances of this pro-
duct in a colony so situated, had inquired into
the matter. He would state to the House that on the
Ist of July there were 881 individuals in that colony,
and that the colony was rapidly decreasing. He would
press the matter on the attention of the Government with
a view to making Is saving in the public money.
Sir JOHN PAKINGTON said, that this was one of
the points under the consideration of her Majesty's Go-
vernment. After a short conversation the vote was

consideration this afternoon.

tioner, who he saia was extremely anxious to obtain

of sitticg at the window and beckoning men out of the
street into their room. The neighbours complained of
their conduct, and also their fellow-lodgers, who
threatened to leave unless they were dismissed from the
house.
