1859 was £50,000, and he trusted that ultimately the vote
would be withdrawn from Parliament, Owing to the pro-
sperity of the colony.
After some conversation the vote was agre.ed to.
On the vote of £24,728 for the salaries ol f governors in
the West Indies and certain other colonies, _ _ _ _

Mr. WILLIAMS thought that the time had arrived
when those colonies should support their own governors
and ot.er officers, and moved that the vote be reduced by
£3,500, the salary of the governor of Jamaica.
Mr. CAVE defended the item, which was not only just
but necessary, considering the duties which the official in
question had to discharge, and Jamaica was not in the
prosperous condition it was supposed.
After some remarks from Mr. WILLIANte,
Mr. FORTESCUE said that the islands of the West
Indies were in a very anomalous condition at present, but
he assured the hon. member that the vote would disappear
from the estimates after some time.

The vote was agreed to, as well as a vote of £lB,OOO to
defray the salaries, &c., of the stipendiary justices in the
West Indian colonies and the Mauritius.
Several other minor votes for the civil service of the
colonies were also agreed to.
The sitting was then suspended at 4 o'clock.
The house resumed at 6 o'clock.

street, Soho, was charged with stealing four rings, nine
seals, and six studs, of the value of £36, the property of his
employers.

George Rilot, of 3, Nassau-street, said he was clerk to
the prosecutors. The prisoner had been employed by the
firm, and was discharged on Wednesday last. In conse-
quence of a duplicate being found the police were spoken
to, and he was brought to the house. Ihe two rings, nine
seals, and six studs produced are the property of the prose-

right to take them to show to customers without entering
them in a book. The articles had still the stock marks on
them.

at Bayswater. Told him the charge, and at first he denied
it, but afterwards said he had low wages and was tempted
to do it, and handed him the duplica e of another ring he
had pledged. On being taken by him to the prosecutors,
prisoner begged for mercy, and took a parcel containin g
two rings, nine seals, and six studs. On searching him
found £2 18s. 11d, on him.
The prisoner was remanded.
