at the subtlety of lawyers.—(Laughter.)
Clause agreed to, subject to further consideration.
Oa clause 51, providing f3r the Civil List, being put,
Mi.. HUME moved that it be reduced from 45,000 i.
to 43 000 !.

Lord J. RUSSELL said a few words in support of
the clause, but was inaudible in the Gallery.
Lord HO WICK wished the salary of the Governor-
General were removed to another schedule, and that it
should be paid out of the Consolidated Fund of this coun-
try, and increased. The charging a high salary for the
Governor on the colony would lead to considerable incon-
venience, because the discontented in the colony would be
continually drawing comparisons between the Governor of
the colony and the Prezidcnt of the United States, without
considering the great sacrifices made by the Governor-
General in accepting the appointment, and the great ad-
vantages enjoyed by the President of the United States
independent of his salary. A high salary was necessary
to secure the services of a person of high attainments.
Mr. EI U E was surpthed that the Noblu Lord should
advocate such an enormous salary for the Governor, and
such a large civil list, considering the reduced state of
the Crown revenues of the colony. He would propose to
reduce the grant by 20,0001.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL opposed the reduction, and
denied that the revenues of the colonies were in such a re-
duced state.

After a few words from Captain BOLDER() and Lord
HOWICK,

Strangers were ordered to withdraw, and the Com-
mittee divided, when the numbers were—

The clause was ordered to stand part of the Bill.
The remaining clauses were then agreed to, the House
resumed, and the report was ordered to be brought up on
Monday next.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he should propose to
proceed with the Bill immediately after the Customs Bill
on Monday.
The Frivolous Suits Bill want through Committee.
The Church Building Bill was read a second time.
On the motion of Lord JOHN RUSSELL the In-
demnity Bill was read a third time and passed.

RATED INHABITANTS EVIDENCE BILL.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved that the House
do resolve itself into Committee on this Bill.
Captain PECHELL moved an instruction to the Com-
mittee to add the following clause :—Nor shall any per-
son called as a witness on any trial, appeal, or other pro-
ceeding, in any Court in which any parish, or union of
parishes or district, shall be a party, be disabled or pre-
vented from giving evidence by reason of any such person
being an assistant-overseer, relieving officer, or other paid
or salaried officer to any such parish, union, or district.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL hoped his Hon. and
Gallant Friend would postpone his motion. It was the
Lord Chief Justice's Bill, and he should like to con-
sult that Noble and Learned Lord upon it. If the
lion. and Gallant Member would allow the Bill to go
through Committee, he would move the addition of the
clause upon the next stage.
On the suggestion, however, of an HoN. MEMBER on
the Conservative side of the House, the Committee was
postponed till Monday.
Mr. ALSTON moved that the petition of Augustus
Smith and Benjamin Martin, relating to the Berkhamp-
stead Charity Schools be referred to a Select Committee.
Mr. G. W. HOPE opposed the motion.

The House then divided, when there appeared—

The Speaker left the chair and the House adjourned.
