THE PRINCIPALITY OF DIIA R.
Mr, J. B. SMITH asked the Secretary of the Board
of Control, whether the board had received intelligence
that the Government of India had confiscated and
annexed the Principality of Dhar; whether orders for
such proceedings emanated from the Board of Control,
and, if not, whether the board approved and sanctioned
this anrexation ?
Mr. H. BAILLIE said that by the mars of yesterday
a despatch was received from India, containing a copy
of a proclamation issued by the political agent of the
Governor-General in Central India (Sir R. Hamilton) in
which the Rajah of Dbar was dethroned. The Rajah of
Dhar was a lad 13 years of age, and had succeeded to the
principality by adoption. The reason assigned in site
proclamation, which was issued on the sole authority of
the Governor-General of India, for dethroning the rajah,
was treason in the Durber, which was composed of his
friends and relations.
•
POLICE (DUBLIN).
Mr. GROGAN asked the Chief Secretary fur Ireland
if the Government intended to introduce any police bill
for the city of Dublin this year ?
Lord NAAS said he hoped to be able to introduce
such a bill shortly after the Easter recess.
THE PASSPORT SYSTEM.
Mr. MONCKTON MILNES called the attention of
the house to the vexations to which British subjects were
exposed by the late alteration in the Passport System in
France ; and moved for the following papers :—"C pies
of correspondence between her Majesty's Government
and that of the Emperor of the French, on the late alte-
rations in the Passport System ; and of the several regu-
lations respecting passports issued by the Foreign Office
since 1815, with the fees charged on their delivery."
In the course of his remarks the hoe. gentleman said
that nearly 100,000 persons had for some time past en-
joyed the privilege of spending a few days in Calais and
Boulogne without requiring a passport. The effect of
the present system was to put as end to such traffic,
and stop the free communication that had hitherto
existed between the two countries. The number of pat.
sengers for the past six weeks, compared with the cor-
responding period of last year, between Dover and
Calais bad decreased 1,167, and had dwindled
down to about nine a-day each packet. The
honourable gentleman then referred to the incon-
venience and hardship these regulations bad in-
flicted on members who a era ignorant of them, and
observed that he could not believe they were to be
attributed to the head of the enlightened Govern-
ment of France, but rather to the overzeal of
subordinates. Referricg to the regulations that
bad been issued, he complained that it was as
unjust demand to make the magistrates of this country
respousibh, for the pers:ll4 who applied to them for re-
c urnmendatioos fir passports. It was (gully as oh-
j ctionable that magistrates should be obliged to send
their seals to the Foreign-office for the purposes
of identification if necessary. (Hear, hear, and cheers.)
After again referring to cases of personal inconvenience
that had arisen owing to these new regulations, the
hon, gentleman said his object in moving for the
correspondence was that tt.e house should realy
know on what grounds the alteration had been made.
He considered a passport required by an Englishman
should only be a certificate of identification, and noc one
veuehiog for the holder's morality and respectability.
Every Englishman had a right to travel on the
Continent, and obtain the protection of the
representatives of this country without any questions
being put to him, and without molestation, so long as
he conducted hiumel with propriety. He suggested the
transfer of the issue of passports should be removed
