PROCEEDINGS IN BORNEO.
Mr. HUME said he saw from the Gazette that a day
had been fixed in this month for the distribution of tee
pirate or head-money among the parties engaged in the
late proceedings at Borneo; and he wished to ask the
First Lord of the Admiralty whether it was consistent
with justice and the proper application of public money
to distribute this money before the inquiry which he
hoped the House would grant had been made?
Sir F. BARING said the money was due by law, and
after certain forms had .been gone through the Admi-
ralty were bound to pay it.
AYLESBURY ELECTION.
Mr. HAMILTON appeared at the bar of the Hou-e
and brought up the report;lof the Aylesbury Committee,
that F. Calvert, Esq., was not duly elected for Aylesbury;
that the list el-ction was void; that F. Calvert, Ebq.,
was guilty, through his agents, of treating; that he
knew nothing of the same; and that the practice of
treatiag by means of ss. tickets prevailed in that
borough, and should, in the opinion of the Committee,
be suppressed. . _ _

A new writ was accordingly moved for the borough of
Aylesbury.
FRIENDLY SOCIETIES FUNDS.

Mr. BREMRIDGE begged to ask the Chancellor of
the Exchequer, whether the salaries provided for the
registrars of friendly societies in England, Scotland, and
Ireland, respectively, under the provisions of the Friendly
Societies' Act, passed last session, viz., 13 and 14 Vic., c.
115, have been and are henceforth to be paid
to them, out of the consolidated fund of the
United Kingdom, in addition to the fees pro-
vided for and made payable to the said registrars
under the said Act, or whether such fees are to be
brought into account, and paid into such consolidated
fund, or retained by the said registrars, in part, or in
full discharge of such salaries (as the case may be) in
the same manner as was provided under the former Act
(now repealed) of 9 and 10 Vict., c. 27?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that he could not now make the returns to which the
Hon. Member had referred; but be thought that it was
a fair subject to be brought before the House.
Mr. BREMRIDGE then inquired whether there was
any objection to produce the returns as soon as they
could be obtained?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
certainly not; but the returns should be presented as
soon as they could be with official authority laid upon
the table.
