RAJA OF SATTARA.

Mr. HUME had inteAded in moving for the papers re-
lating to the deposition of the late Raja of Sattara,
to have gone at large into the subject, but, at
this advanced period of the session, he would
abstain from doing so, and content himself m ith
moving for the papers, to the production of which
he understood no opposition would be offered.
He would, however, next session go into the whole ques-
tion of the deposition of the late Raja of Sattara. He
would therefore move for copies of the despatches from
the Bombay Government, dated the 31st day of October,
1841, and subsequent dates, respecting the affairs of
Sattara, with the inclosures therein referred to,
as laid before the Court of Proprietors at the
East India House, on the 13th day of May, 1842 ; also,
a copy of a letter from General Ledwick, C. 8., and late
Resident at Sattara, dated the 13th day of June,
1842, to the Court of Directors of the East India
Company, respecting the proceedings at Sattara.
as laid before the Court of Proprietors at the
East India House ; also,. copies of all letters
addressed to or from the deposed Raja of Sattara,
that have been intercepted by the Bombay Government,
by its Officers, and by the Resident at Sattara ; with
Copies of the Despatches transmitting the same to the
Governor-General of India, and to the Court of Direc-
tors ; also, Copies of the Orders issued, and any ob-
servations made by the Governor-General, and by the
Court of Directors thereon.—Agreed to.
INDIAN FINANCE—AFFGHAN WAR.
Mr. HUME had a notice on the paper for the pro-
duction of the correspondence between the Board of Di-
rectors of the East India Company and the Government
on the subject 'of Indian finance, in reference to the
expenses of the Chinese and Affghan wars. The East
India Company thought that as the Affghan war had been
undertaken for British purposes, the nation ought to bear
the expellee of it; and he believed the Directors had ad-
dressed the Government on the subject. The Right
Hon. Baronet, too, had, in bringing forward his Budget,

alluded to the subject of Indian finance, and therefore it
was of importance that the House should be in possession
of information on the subject. He (Mr. H.) however, had
understood from the Board of Control that the corres-
pondence was still going, and that it would prejudice the
public service if it were produced at present. Under
these circumstances be would withdraw his motion.

Sir R. PEEL, in allusion to what had fallen from the
Hon. Gentleman relative to his (Sir R. Peel's) speech,
on bringing forward the Budget, begged to observe that
although on that occasion he bad said that the state
of Indian finance was additional reason for an effort
being made to maintain public credit, yet he had by no
means admitted that the East India Government had
any claim upon the English Treasury on account of the
expenses of the Affghan war.
Mr. HUME did not mean to say there was a claim,
but the Court of Directors thought they had one.
LAW REFORM.

Mr. PARKER wished to know whether it was the
intention of the Government to proceed with the Law
Bills that had lately been introduced into the other
House of Parliament ?

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that it certainly
was the intention of the Government to proceed with
those Bills.
An HON. MEMBER wished to know whether it was
the intention of the Government to postpone the Parish
Constables Bill till another session?
Sir JAMES GRAHAM said it was the intention of
the Government to persevere with, that Bill.
CASE OF MRS. FORBES.

Captain PECHELL rose to call the attention of the
House to the petition of Mrs. Charlotte Forbes, pre-
sented on the sth of July last. Mrs. Forbes was
the wife of Lieutenant Forbes, now a lunatic in
Haslar Hospital. It appeared that a portion of
the lunatic's pay had been stopped for the purpose
of defraying his expenses in the Hospital. The peti-
tioner complained that this was contrary to the general
usage in the service, and prayed that the pay which
had thus been stopped might be paid over to her.
The Hon. and Gallant Gentleman concluded by moving
for a return of the number of Officers on half-pay in
the Lunatic Asylum at Haslar, the deductions from
their half-pay made for their maintenance there, and the
correspondence between the Government and the relatives
of such Ofli•;ers.

Sir G. COCKBURN said it was a matter of indul-
gence that Lieut. Forbes was received at all into the
Asylum. He was received in consequence of the applica-
tions of his friends, who were aware of the existence of
the regulations.
Sir C. NAPIER said, that as it appeared that the Go-
-vernment had taken too much in the first instance for
the maintenance of this officer in Haslar Hospital,
and had subsequently reduced the amount deducted,
he thought that the Government was bound
to refund the money which had been so improperly de-
ducted ; and he thought thet a similar refunding ought
to take place in every instance in which money had
been deducted unjustly.
Mr. HUME thought it was a pity such a case should
have been permitted to be brought forward. He
thought as a matter of justice, end of humanity, that
the money ought to be refunded to Mrs. Forbes. Great
credit was due the Government for providing for
Lunatic Officers in Hasler Hospital, but still the
families of officers ought not to be deprived of
their rights. As a matter of justice they were entitled
to the half-pay after the bare maintenance of the indi-
vidual which it appeared amounted to Is. 6d. a day
should have been deducted.

The carriage in which the Duke of Orleans was
riding on the dap of the accident, was, says the com-
merce, a sort of cabriolet on four wheels
drawn by two
horses, known by the name of milord. It is larger and
deeper than a common cabriolet, and it is without a seat
in front, as a postilion rides one of the horses. There are
no doors to those vehicles, but simply an apron which
was rolled up, on the occasion we speak of. The hood
was down, so that the Prince could suddenly stand up
erect, without striking his head, as was generally
supposed. The springs are exceedingly flexible,
so that the body of the vehicle moved con-
siderably at the slightest motion, which explains
the fact of the Prince falling from a jolt when rising
to speak to the postilion.
