2111 E MISCELLANEOUS SERVICES,

The Select Committee appointed to inquire into
the expenditure for miscellaneous services, and to
report to the House whether any reduction can be
effected in that branch of the public expenditure,
and who were empowered to report observations,
together with the minutes of evidence and proceed-
ings, to the House, have agreed to the following
report :

Your Committee commenced the inquiry by considering
the mode of framing the estimates, the time of the session
when they are presented to Parliament, and the votes in
Class No. 1.

They are of opinion that the Estimates for the Ci, it
Service ought to be laid before Parliament at the same
period as the Army and Navy Estimates.
That nearly all the votes now brought under No. VII.,
entitled, "Miscellaneous, Special, and Temporary Ob-
jects," ought to be placed in the different classes to which
they respectively and properly belong. Should there be
any special estimates which cannot be brought under the
first six classes, such special estimates ought to be presented
at the same time as the first six.
That in case of any votes being required during the sit-
ting of Parliament for any unforeseen and urgent service,
a supplementary estimate ought to be presented, accom-
panied by Rotes explanatory of the reasons why the said
sums were not included in the original estimates and re-
ferring them to their respective classes ; and also that such
of the expenses included in Civil Contingencies as are of a
constantly recurring nature should be provided for by esti-
mates in their appropriate classes.
That Parliament ought to be informed, in the estimates
of each year, of the unexpended balance of each vote of
the past year which had been sanctioned by Parliament,
and the balance remaining in the Exchequer to the credit
of each vote up to the 31st of December of the current finan-
cial year.

That in the case of all new works under Class 1., the
construction cf which is to be extended over more than one
year, the estimates in every case should bo prepared in the
same form as that for new works in the Navy Estimates.
That the present system of audit is imperfect, inasmuch
as only a portion of the expenditure is brought before the
Board of Audi;; but the subject having been very fully
considered by the Committee on Public Moneys, your com-
mittee confine themselves to referring to their report, and
expressing an opinion that some steps should be taken to
introduce a more uniform and efficient system of audit.
That the evils arising from the constant changes in the
office of Chief Commissioner of Works having been pro-
minently brought before your committee, they are of
opinion that the appointment of a permanent Commissioner
would seem the only means of removing them. Your com-
mittee consider that, upon the appointment of a permanent
Commissioner, the duties of the existing political office of
First Commissioner in Parliament might be discharged by
some other Minister of the Crown in the House of Com-
mons.
That if a permanent Commissioner were appointed, all
public works not already under the Department of
Public Works, except those for naval and military defence,
ought to be placed under that department.
Your committee have been unable to continue their in-
quiries in the matter committed to them further in the
present session of Parliament ; they strongly recommend
to the house the appointment of a committee in the next
session of Parliament to resume the inquiry.

other remedies, removing effectually, without purging,

rious and injurious imitations offered under a variety of
false pretences. Nevill's imitations are prohibited by
.the
high Court of Chancery untr a penalty of £5,000 against
Alfred Hooper Nevill and his agents ; and the pretences
that Nevin has a patent for Arabica Food and that Du
Barry's are connected with such patent are utterly false.
