GREEK LOAN:
Mr. MARK PHILIPPS wished to know if the Go-
vernment had received any official announcement from
the Greek Government on the subject of the loan con-
tracted for that Government, sad the payment of the in-
terest on which ha:i been guaranteed by the British
Government. It was generally reported that the Greek
Government had stated its inability to meet the dividend
Which would become due in SepteMber next, -and he
withed to know from the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it'
he had .received any official communication on the sub,
ject.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, no
official announcement had been made to him on the
subject.

FORG ..-1) EXCHEQUER BILLS.
Mr. C. BULLER wished to ask the Chancellor of the
Exchequer what course the Government intended to
take with respect to the different classes of owners
of Exchequer Bills, whose eases had been stated in the
Report of the Commissioners appointed to investigate
the subject.
The CHANBELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said,
that since the Hon. Gentleman had last asked him the
question, he • had devoted the few hours which
he had been enabled to spare front his duties in
that House, and from his official duties, to a
cursory perusal of that • Report, and of the
evidence upon which it was founded. The result of that
cursory perusal had been to produce upon his mind a
general impression —in fact he felt that on the consi-
deration of the circumstances stated in that Report, that
undoubtedly there existed au equitable claim on the
part of some of the holders of these Exchequer.
on the consideration of the Government—(Hear hear)—
and ii would be the duty of the responsible advisers of
the Crown, to eubmit to the House such measures as
they might think necessary, to afford relief to such per-
sons us might be entitled to their consideration. Their
were other parties to whose cases furtha con-
sideration must be given, and it was evident
that there was •a considerable difference between the
several cases which had been investigated by the Com-
mittee. Ile felt that the Government was not at the
present moment ilea situatiou to give the House a defi-
nite idea of the cours,ll which it might he re-
quisite to pursue. He was the only Member
of the G overtnnent who had read the Report
It had only been in the hands of that House to-day, and
he doubted, in feet he felt assured, that no Member of
that House had considered the subject with a sufficient
degree of attention to be enabled- to ferns a cor-
rect judgment. The. question -was of consider-
able importance, and could not be decided.. without
the House being Billy masters of the Report and the
evidence, although hey should have been glad if the Re-
port had been presented in time -for the House to have
made a final settlement of the queition this session.
Yet considering the present state of public business,
Considering the situation in which they then stood,
the Committee of Supply having closed, lie
had to regret that during the present • session
it was impossible the house could take that
Report info its consideration, with the prospect of any
beneficial result to the parties concerned, or with justice
to the public interest. He begged leave,- however, to
say that Le did not mean to pass any blame on the
Commissioners, who had conducted their inquiry with
the utmost diligence, and investigated the transaction
in the way best calculated to throw light upon
it. It was not his intention in uny arrangement that
might be made to stand upon any technical point, in
order to avoid giving the subject a fair consideration;
but, methe other hand, the Government would require
that any claim should be strictly- investigated.
Mr. C. BULLER said that the answer of the Right
Hon. Gentleman was certainly explicit ; but at the same
time it would be very unsatisfactory to those whose
fortunes depended on the course the Government
might take upon the subject. He did not know
on whom the blame of the delay which had occurred
should be cast. But he knew that the sufferers -were
deeply interested in the wetter, and he should therefore
give notice that he would avail himself of any oppor-
tunity which might arise in the course of the evening of
laying the question before the House.
CASE Or MR. JOHNSTON.
Mr. HUME wished to bring under the notice of the
Right Hon. Baronet, flit Secretary of State fur the
Home Department, the case of a gentleman of the
came or Johnston, who, according to public report,
after having been lately tried for an assault and
sentenced to three inuntis' imprisonment, had, to the
surprise of every one acquainted with the circumstances,
been found at liberty a very short time afterwards.
The Right Honourable Gentleman must be aware that
considerable anxiety existed in the public mind to
receive an explanation from the Government upon the
subject. He (Mr. Hume) hoped the Right Honourable
Gentleman would be ready to give btliat explana-
tion, as it was very important that it should not be
thought that justice was not equally administered to the
rich and to the poor.
