of giving the power Of granting the licences at any
time within the yeai, when vacancies should. occur,
to the Magistrates, rather than to the Comtni,sioners
of Excise; and Mr. Hurst recommended that the
power of granting such licences, when vacancies oc-
curred, should be restricted to licences for military
purposes, and that the present mode of granting .
licences for civil purposes should be preserved to the
Civil Magistrates; upon which the Secretary at War
agreed to postpone the consideration of the Clause.
till to-morrow, when he should be happy to avail
himself of the suggestions el the Hon. Members.
The various amendments in the body of the Bill,
and the new clauses were then gone through, the
chief or which were the following : An amendment
to extend the exemption from billeting soldiers on
a march, to person 4 bolding canteens under the Com-
missioners ,4or the affairs of Barracks ;. an amend-
ment for eitempting carts with four horses, or wag.
gems having narrow wheels, from the penalties of the
Road Acts, if they should, by accident, bear a load
above the statute weight; an ainendineift, making
persons refusieg to billet officers or ,soldiers in Ire -
land,'liable to the penalties in force in Ireland, at the
time of the Onion.; an amendment to facilitate the
proof of the indentures of apprentices, by making the
certificate of a Magistrate, that t he indenture and hand-
writing were preyed before him, a sufficient proefof
an indenture ;. and a clause to authorise Courts-
Martial to infli6t greater penalties than heretofore
Upon persons in the Commisiariat who should have
fraudulently misapplied any of his Majesty's stores,
This latter clause, the Secretary at War observed,
had been rernkred necessary by the insufficiency of
the present penalty ; dismissal from the service,
and a fine of 1001. to deter •persons employ-
ed upon., foreign: service from yielding to the great
temptation of embezzling public stores. The clause
„:had been, originally framed to extend over the Em-
pire, but as it wats not neces&ary to give such a
power to courts-Martial in Great Britain or Ireland,
an amendment had been made in it, restrielingits
operations to the Foreign Settlements.
The amendments having been gone through, the
House resumed; and the Report was ordered to be
