tleman to state the gress sum for which be proposed to
take a vote.
Colonel ANSON said it was 1,595,0001.—that was
about the sum that would be required.
The vote was then agreed to.
The following sums were voted, without opposition:---,
100,0001. (part of a sum of 316,0311.), to defray the
expense of commissariat and barrack supplies for her
Majesty's forces.
45,0001. (part of 29,5641.) for the expenses of the
Ordnance-office.
On this vote, Mr. OSBORNE said he meant to oppow
the whole of the votes for the civil department; but, en.
being assured by the Chancellor of the Exchequer that
he would afterwards have an opportunity of doing IN
he withdrew his opposition.
115,000/. (part of 323,2071.) for salaries and expenses
of establishments in the United Kingdom and colonies.
132,0001. (part of 158,5671.) for the wages of arti-
ficers and labourers in the United Kingdom and colonies.
230,0001. (part of 502,5851.) for defraying the ex*
pence of ordnance stores for the land and sea service.
350,000/. (part of 737,537/ ) for the expense of worker
buildings, and repairs, at home and abroad.
40,0001. (part of 94,4361.) for the expenses of the
scientific branch.
On this vote—
Mr. MACKENZIE complained that Scotland never
had had fair play in the sum granted for the ordnance
survey.
Colonel ANSON said that it was now proposed to
spend a larger sum for that purpose. Last year it had
been augmented to 15,0001.; but, up to a certain periods
no particular sum had been stated. Northumberland
and all the northern parts of England had the saute
reason to complain as Scotland.
Mr. WYLD said he did not see anything in the esti-
mate for the expense of the metropolitan surrey which
Lad recently been undertaken by the Board of Ordnance.
Colonel ANSON—It had not been accurately settled
what amount would be required for the survey of Low
don, but the matter was under the consideration of the
Noble Lord the Chief Commissioner of Woods end
Forests.
Mr. HENLEY said a great amount would be incurred
by this survey at the national expense; he wished to
know if the same benefit would be extended to all the
towns in the kingdom.
Lord LINCOLN said, if the expense of the London
survey was to be defrayed out of the vote now before the
House, he apprehended the greater portion of the money
would be thus absorbed, and it would be necessary, in
consequence, to suspend operations in other parts of the
country.
Colonel ANSON said, if the expense of the Louden
survey were defrayed out of this vote, it would certainly
absorb the whole ; but much would depend on the de"
gree of perfection to which the survey eas carried. At
present, only six surveyors and six assistants were eta'
ployed ; and the whole expenditure for the first ail
weeks would be under 1,0001. It would continuo at that
rate for some time till the block plan was formed, thell
there would be the engraving, which was the greatez7
pense. He believed the general expense would 5e4,0004
that of the block plan 9,000/. er 10,000 L, and the engllM
ing perhaps 19,000/. If the work were to be carried on
rapidly, it would certainly withdraw a great deal not
the other parts of the country.—(Hear.) But a gre"
many large towns had already been surveyed, and plane
made on a scale of five feet to the mile, which were ow._
in progress of engraving. All the towns in the country
were nut included ; whether they should be eo was
question of expense.
Mr. HUME wanted to know who was to pay for this
survey. He would never have consented to it had he
not understood that each town, London included, Wee .4°
be surveyed at its own expense.
Colonel ANSON could not say at that moment
the money was to be paid. That would partly depeo,
on the House of Commons. Perhaps, as the city of
London was to benefit by the survey, it would find the
money.—(Laughter.)
Mr. WYLD did not think there was any need of 11
new survey. There was a block survey already in e*.
istence, and it was only necessary to combine the ploe.e
in order to take the levels.
Mr. HUDSON said the question was whether the
funds of the country should be applied to make a curve
of the city of London fur sanitary purposes. He di
not think the public money should be applied in such
way.—(Hear, hear.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that a sum of money had been voted for the general
survey of the country. No order had been given
apply any portion of the money for the purpose
sanitary survey.
Mr. OSBORNE said that he thought the vote ought
to be postponed, because be perceived that the wile..,.
dog of the Treasury had been asleep for the last hen
hour.—(Laughter.)
Mr. HUME—No, uo.—(Much laughter.)
Mr. OSBORNE thought that it would not be right
to make a surrey for London alone at the public ex-
pense.
Lord MORPETH said that Sir H. de is Bache eel
Sir J. Burgoyne had represented that the so taking of
levels in London could best be performed under the
Ordnance Survey. He did not think there was anything
so wrong in asking the people of the country to do for
the city of London what the city of London was doing
for the country. The money had been voted forgeneral
purposes, and he did not think that he was asking any"
thing that was wrong in desiring to commence the sur-
vey in London.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. C. PEARSON said that if they wanted to get this
money out of the pockets of the people, they might well
begin with the city of London.—(Hear, hear, and
laughter) He would oppose the vote.
The Earl of LINCOLN thought that if the survey in
other towns was paid for by their inhabitants, it was
somewhat unfair to apply the public money to make
survey for the city of London alone.—(Hear.)
Mr. HUME said that he had already proposed that
the survey of London should be paid for by a local rate,
and not out of the general taxes. If his Hon. Friend
(Mr. B. Osborne) had not been asleep, he must have
heard what be said.—(A laugh.)
Mr. HENLEY said that the plea for the vote of 1,001
was, that it-was to be expended on a sanitary survey „o
London, whereas London was excluded from the sanitary
Bill of the Government. He would not, however, eni",,
for the postponement of the vote.
Lord MORPETH reminded the House that the survey
of London now proceeding was the Ordnance surrey,
and observed that after a sum of 200,000/. had been 'Peet
on the survey of Dublin, it would be hard to refuse the
same favour to London.
Mr. CARDWELL said the Governmentlhad given
nn
answer to the question of the Hon. Member for Sunder-
land, as to whether the survey of London was to be de-
frayed by a local tax or out of the consolidated fund.
Mr. HUDSON complained that the Chancellor of the
Exchequer never gave a straightforward answer to ques-
tions that were put to him.
The vote was then agreed to.
The next vote was for the sum of 85,0001. to defray
the expenses of the civil and military non-effective ser-
vice.— Agreed to
The House then resumed ; and—the Chairman having
reported progress—adjourned at Half-past One till
Monday.
