The SPEAKER announced that the petition against
Ihe sitting member for this borough had been with

drawn.

the arguments 14 used on the second reading of the bill.
He added that the annuity would not be furnished out
of the taxes of the people, but out of the Crown estates
given up by her Majesty, when she ascended the
Throne, which returned 260,0001. to the Exchequer.
He characterised the present proposal as being a shabby
one, and said the question whether the Queen of Prus-
sia should or should not be a pensioner of the country,
rested with Prussia and not England. It was our place
to make proper provision for the marriage of
a princess. The time was come for the
house to consider ;upon the present system of com-
pelling her Majesty to make such appeals to the house,
and Le could not approve of the jealousy of the people
of this country that deprived her Majesty of the
possession of territorial rights that would enable her
to make provision for her family.
Sir F. BARING, after some remarks relative to the
hereditary revenue of the Crown, said he should oppose
the amendment
Mr. ROEBUCK said that, as the "sense" of the
committee appeared to be against the proposition of the
honourable and learned member, as it was against him
on a former occasion, he advised him not to divide the
committee. '
After some discussion the amendment was withdrawn.
The clause was then agreed to, and the bill passed
through committee.
