eellor of the Exchequer whether the present Government had given their
pansent to foss pensions panted on the Civil List, en the 10th Nov.

Mr. BODGES odd be would take that opportunity of mentioning,
that he bad been represented as having stated that the Magistrates of
Kent were unwilling to perform their duty, from hostility to the late
Administration. He had not alluded to Magistrates, but said some
persons had refused to be sworn special constables, and that now a
better feeling had takes place.
Mr. R. GORDON said he did not mean to say that the Lord Ad-
vocate should not be rewarded ;he only objected to the manner. Its
thought he had done his Noble Friend a good service in giving him the
opportunity of declaring that the present Government had nothing to
do with it. But he must say, that, from what he had heard of arrange-
ments making in Ireland, he thought the present Government would
require to be watched, and he hoped his Noble Friend would not be
displeased at his determination to watch it.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was by no
means displeased at his hon. friend's determination to watch the govern-
ment, for all governments required to be watched. He would only say,
that when the arrangements in Ireland were made, his hon. Mend would
not be displeased.
Sir 0. WARRENDER said he too should watch the proceedings of
government, but it would be In a spirit of perfect confidence; for he
believed that the country never had an honester minister than the noble
lord.—(Cheers.)
Sir It. BATEMAN said it was not the salaries of working men that
oppressed the country, but the enormous sinecures. There was one
man who deserved everlasting honour for his disinterestedneas—he meant
the Marquis of Camden ; but, instead of being Imitated, his conduct
was regarded as a bad example.--(Hear.)
The Report of the Committee of Supply was brought up and
agreed to.
The House adjourned at Half-past Seven.
