gross sum of 594,472/. I Is. 9d., but there arc various items,
amounting to 306,907/. 16s. 21d., which effect a reduction of
the disbursements on account of Army Extraordinaries. The
n't amount therefore is no more than 287,564/. 15s. 71d.

criminal prosecutions and other law charges in Ireland for one

A Bill is now before Parliament " to remove difficulties
which' may arise from the confusion between calendar and lot, :r
months in the romputation of time, a:ld to remedy certain
grievances which have already been occasioned thereby."
This Act declares that the word " month " in any statute
shall be meant a calendar moth. There is alao a clause in it
which renders valid any enrolment of the articles of appren-
ticeship or clerkship, if executed at any time previous to the
last day of Michaelmas Term, 1836. The sth clause proposes
that in the computation of time, tha day beginning or ending
period shall he deemed inclusiv,-, ond the other exclusive.
The 6th and last clause entitles a pri6oncr to discharge at 12
at noon on the last day of his imprisonment.
