On the motion of Mr. WHARTON, the House Went hats i I
Committee on the Windsor Forest Bill.
Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE expressed a wish, that the considera-
tion of the Report of the Bill should stand over for a distant day,
to give time for consideration to such Gentlemen as were inte•
rested in it.
This was assented to t the Bill then went through the Com-
mittee, and the farther consideration of the Report was fixed for
this day three weeks.
Mr. BROUGHAM wished to ask an Hon. Gentleman oppo-
site, whether a paper relating to the Droits of the Admiraty,
the production of which was ordered abuut a month ago, might
be expected soon to appear.
Mr. WHARTON replied, that it was now at the Bar of the
House, and would he presented immediately.
The paper in question was then brought up, and ordered to lie
on the table, but we could not hear its title.
Mr. BROUGHAM then expressed a wish to move t-,/ an ac-
count of all the sums taken from the fund of Droits oflhe Ad-
miralty, and repaid to the same during the last five years.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he was
not aware of the existence of any such practice as that to which
the Hon. Gentleman's motion referred.
Mr. BROUGHA M stated, that according to information which
be had received, a practice of this sort existed, and it was an
abuse which deserved the attention of the House.
