ration the amendments made by the Commons to this
bill. The advice he should give to their lordships on
that evening was they should not agree to the so •called
amendments. The Commons had rejected two clauses
which he thought most material, and what he should re-
commend was that their lordships should give their reasons
why they could not agree to the Commons' amendment
bill

COUNTY CORONERS BILL.

he Commons' reasons for disagreeing to the Lords'
amendments to this bill were considered, and their lord-
ships agreed not to insist on their amendments.
EAST INDIA LOAN BILL.
The Duke of ARGYLL moved the first reading of this
bill, which was to raise a certain sum of money (£3,000,000)
to meet the deficit and outgoing in the construction of rail-
ways in India. The expenditure in India was very great, and
until the military expenses were reduced, he Ldid
not see any prospect of having the income of
that country brought to a balance with the expen-
diture. The mutiny in India had mainly led
to the deficit being made an addition to the Indian debt to
the amount of £40,000,000. Previous to the outbreak the
debt of India stood at £59,000,000 at 2i per cent., but
owing to the outbreak and expenses of the sup-
pression, it now amounts to £97,851,000, and
would, he thought, very shortly amount to £100,000,000.
Without they took active steps to reduce the expenses of
India, and place the expenditure on a more satisfactory
basis, it would saddle that country with a debt, which would
be a very serious matter.
This bill was read a first time.
Their lordships then adjourned.
