,gr. was `deCidediit ad f4,onr of the; grant
proo,-,?..ed to bp given to Lord Clare. The ground, how-
ever, upon which he supported the grant was confined to
the losses which he had sustained in consequence of the
Bombay Government not having sent a steam-boat to re-
ceive his Lordship, as directed by the Court of Di-
retteM tie aid not think the grant of 5,0001. was so
paltry a sum ; and as Lord Clare had sustained a loss from
circumstances iiVet which he had no controul he thought
that he ought to he indemnified by the East India Com-
pany: tie begged, therefore, to move as an amendment,
that 5,0001. be granted to Lord Clare, to reimburse him
for the losses which he had sustained.
Mr. MARJORIBANKB contended that nothing bad been
stated to justify the proposed grant. .
Mr. FIELDER called on them in the name of the natives
of India, in the name of the absent proprietors, not to con-
sent to this vote.
Mr. MARRIOTT was also opposed to this grant, on the
ground of its being likely to form a precedent.
Sir It. CAMPBELL had opposed the grant in the Court
of Directors as far as it related to the loss sustained by the
Noble Lord going overland to India ; but when be came

to consider the eminent services of Lord Clare in his ca-
pacity of Governor of Bombay, he at once admitted the
Torce of the claim thus made upon the proprietors.
Col. LUSHINGTON objected to the vote on the grounds
stated by his colleagues, Messrs. Astell and Wigram.
Sir C. Foam's was favourable to the grant to Lord Clare
on the ground of the manner in which he cut down the ex-
penses of the Government of Bombay. The.only tour taken
by Lord Clare was one to meet the Governor-General of
,India, and the expenses of that tour only amounted to be-
tween 27,000 and 28,000 rupees. What former Gdernor
ever travelled at so trifling an expense before? The pro-
posed compensation would not be one-half per cent. upon
the saving effccted by Lord Clare. He wished to know if
any communication had been made by the Court of Direc-
tors to the Board of Control in respect to the grant now
before the Court of Proprietors ?
The CHAIRMAN-It would have been quite unconsti-
tutional to have gone to the Board of Control in the first
instance.
Sir C. FORBES—Am Ito understand that Sir J. Hob-
house was not spoken to on this subject ?
Mr. WIGRAM objected to this inquiry.
Mr. Roanisom, M.P., said that on no one of the grounds
specified by the advocates of this grant was it justified ; it
was, therefore, sought to do so by mixing all the grounds up
together.—( Hear.) He should oppose the grant.
After a few words from the Deputy Chairman,
Mr. WEEDING moved that his amendment be put.
Upon the suggestion, however, of Sir C. Forbes and
Mr. Wigram, Mr. Weeding consented to withdraw his
amendment.

After a few words from Mr. Mackenzie, the original re-
solution, as proposed by the Chairman, was put to the
Court, but, as a ballot was demanded, no decision was taken.
The names of the gentlemen demanding a ballot were
Mr. Wigram, Mr. Lindsey, Mr. Astell, Mr. Seale, Mr.
Fielder, and Mr. Robinson, M.P. The ballot was ap-
pointed to take place this day week.
Upon the motion of Mr. Weeding an addition was made
to the by-law, cap. 6 sec. 13 ; and also that the matters to
be discussed in the Court of Proprietors should appear
in two or more newspapers, three days before the day of
meeting.

In this case, which was not concluded yesterday when we
went to Press, the plaintiff was nonsuited ; but the plain-
tiff's Counsel, Mr. Coltman, reserved to himself the right
either to move to set aside the nonsuit, or to tender a bill
of exceptions.
