was at present of great convenience to the public. The

upon adjourned.

of peace having been signed, he begged to withdraw his
notice from the paper altogether.

for India whether the report from the Government of India
respecting compensation for losses sustained during the
late mutiny had been received ; and, if so, whether it was his
intention to lay such report on the table of the house.

LONDON CORPORATION BILL.
Sir J. SHELLEY gave notice that in the event of the
house going into committee on this bill, he would move that
elections in the London Corporation should be taken by
ballot. The hon. baronet shortly after rose and asked if the
Government did not consider it would be unadvisable to
proceed further with the bill during the present session,
as it would inevitably meet considerable opposition.
Sir G. C. LEWIS said he understood that there would
be no general opposition to the bill. His present wish was
to appoint a day that would afford an opportunity for the
full discussion of the bill.
WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.
Mr. E. JAMES asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether any information had reached
her Majesty's Government, to the effect that more than two-
thirds of the provincial and local standards of weights and
measures had been used more than 20 years without re-
verification, and that the same were defective and un-
just, and could not be relied on as tests of accuracy;
that such standards, nevertheless, furnish the legal means
and evidence by which the integrity and accuracy of the
weights and measures used by the tradesmen for commer-
cial purposes are ascertained and tested ; ,that legal convic-
tions take place, and penalties are enforced, for non-confor-
mity. to such standards ; and, if so, whether her Majesty's
Ministers intended to take any steps for the prevention of
so great an injustice.
Sir G. C. LEWIS said that during the last 20 years
means had been taken for verifying local standard weights
and measures with the fixed standard.
Mr. WALPOLE wished to know if the right hon.
baronet had any objection to introduce a bill on this subject.
Sir G. C. LE WIS said that he had not, but it must first
be determined whether the expense of the reverification
should be defrayed by a vote of the house or by local bodies.
INDIAN FINANCE.
Mr. BRIGHT inquired if the right hon. baronet, the
Secretary for India, would inform the house when the
subject of Indian finance would be brought
forward, and when any despatclies on the matter would be
laid ou the table.
Sir CHARLES WOOD was understood to say that
a statement on the subject of Indian finance would be
made shortly, but not till subsequent to the financial state-
ment of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
