115,744/., the reduced vote, being put,
Mr. BLACKBURN said equal ju-►ice demanded that
the vote for the English survey should be put on the same
footing as the Scotch, he should, therefore, propose that
that cum be reduced by the sum of 24,4301., being the
difference between the cost of the twenty-five inch and
the six inch scale.

The house then divided, when the numbers were for
the motion—

Majority -268
The amendment was therefore lost.
On the motion that the house do adopt the resolution
so amended,
Lord ELME) said the discussion lead been between
the merits of the 25 and 6-inch scales, and they had de-
cided that the 25-inch scale in Scotland should not be
continued. By the Second vote, what bad been nega-
tived in Scotland had been affirmed in England. He
congratulated the house on the consistency of their deci-
sion.

Sir DENHAM NORREYS defended his conduct in
connection with the assertions he had made, that Eng-
land bad been surveyed on a 6-inch scale. He held in
bar hand a map which justified the vote be and the house
had given. Had he believed that the 25-inch scale was
being carried on in England he should not have opposed
the vote for the same scale in Scorland.
Mr. HENLEY said he believed the house intended
to put down the 25-inch scale in England as well as in
Scotland. The whole tenour of the debate had proved
that to be de intention. lie did not think there was

any wish to treat Scotland differently to England.
(fleir, hear )
Mr BLAS'KBURN disclaimed any intention to spite
Sc,tlend ,11 the amendment he ha made.
Lord PALMERSTON said be believed the whole
county of Durham had been sure yed on the 25-inch,
sc,,le. But the intention of the house, as he utv!eretood
it from the first vote, was that, no further surveys
should be made on that scale. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. E. ELLICE expressed his astonishment at the
uncertainty which appeared to exist among the officers
of the survey, as to the scale on which the survey fur
the county of Durham had been conducted. So far from
the 25 inch scale being too large, he had had the opinion
of an able manager of the mint-re' in,erests, that to he of
any value for the mineral districts the scale ought to be
11 feet to the mile. (Laughter.) It appeared that 3
25-inch survey had been going on in Du!barn without
that house having any knowledge oir the subject. (Hear.)
Mr. ROEBUCK wished to ask the Speaker a gees'
Lion upon a matter of form. The house was now called
upen to affirm a vote supposed to have been arrived at
by some committee, but there was b 0 committee thee
sitting.
The SPEAKER—The business before the house is
the consideration of the report of the Committee of Sur
ply, and what the house has dune has been to amend a
resolution which has been passed by that committee.
The question, therefore, which I have to put t.) the
house is that this house agrees with the resolution of
the committee as it has now been amended.
Th,a question was then put and agreed te.
Tne remaining votes included in the report were ale°
agreed to.
