EAST INDIA HALY•PAY.

Mr. WYNN moved the order of the day for going
into a Committee on the East India Half-pay Bill.
Mr. DALY said, he hoped the motion of the Hon.
Member for Li mrieck would be pursued without any
unnecessary delay.
Mr. S. RICE was satisfied that the House would
do him the justice to believe the proceedings were not
interrupted by any intentional neglect on his part.
He was most anxious the motion should proceed for
the character of the Judges, generally, in Ireland, and
particularly for the sake of that judge whose conduct
had been made the subject of animadversion. His in-
tentions on this Occasion had been frustrated by the
arrxagemints in that House, over which he could have
notonttoul ; but he was most anxious to bring it on,
without any delay, if the state of-business in the House
would permit him to be acconr;mocited with an early
day for the purpose of bringing it on.
The -CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
thought that the arrangement might be made for
bringing on this motion on Wednesday, when be
thought his own business on the subject of the Budget
would be very short, and merely that sort of statement
which cpuld hardly be expected to occasion a debate.
Mr. S. RICE availed himself of the suggestion of
the Right Hon. Gentleman; and the resumption of
the Committee on the charges against the Chief Baron
O'Grady was fixed for Wednesday next.
The Order of the Day was then read.
Mr. WYNN moved that the House should go into a
Committee on the said Bill.

SMITH, Mr. CA LCRAPT, the CHANCELLOR of the Ex.
