glad to hear, if

they were ready. If not, he should move the some
reduction as he did upon that occasion.
Mr. R. WARD repeated his former statements, to
chew that this Estimate was composed of other items
besides the repairs, which the Honourable lklember
seemed to take to be the subject of the whole char.e.
An inspection of the accounts should be at any tito%
open to the Honourable Member in private.
Mr. GIPPS did not think that a private interview
and explanation afforded to him would or ought to
be satisfactory to the House—(Hear, hear}.
Mr. WARD repeated his explanation.
Mr. GIPPS said, that he should not press his
Amendment to a division, because he thought it
would be of no avail.

Mr. DENMAN said, that if it was of no avail to
divide the House upon this question, with a vies of
carrying the Amendment, yet it was or consesnence
that the country should see that there were some is
that House who were the real Representatives of ti e
People of England. That there were those who, in
a time of profound peace. would not consent to an
enormous expense for building Barracks all over the
country, two years after the causes which were said
to require them had entirely subsided. There was a
small minority who would still continue to exert them.
selves, notwithstanding the overwhelming majorities
which the Noble Lord opposite had secured by the
decision of the house that night, upon the mothm of
his Hon. Friend, for securing the independence of
Parliament—((sheers).
Lord MILTON wished to ask a question relative
to the expense of Barracks in the northern district;
which were in a disturbed state some time ago. He
understood that the Magistrates now refused to bear
those expenses, and he wished to know if it was thz
intention of Government to do so?
Mr. ARBUTHNOT said, that as the disturbances
had ceased, it was natural that the people should not
like to pay those expenses—(Hear).—The Govern.
ment had accordingly made arrangements to meet
them.—The House then divided : .

Mr. HUME advised that the former should he re,
duced by altering the number of Battalions and
Companies ; and with respect to the latter, that is
another year there should be but one Pension List, ix
which the Pensions for the various services should ap.
pear together. At present the House was deceived
by the manner in which the lists were made out.
The Resolution for granting the sum of £137,030
for the Barrack Department was then proposed.
Mr. BERN AL objected to this Resolution, upon
Ithe grounds stated in the Committee. He moved a
reduction of £78,000.
Mr. ARBUTHNOT said, £75,000 of the money
had been voted by Parliament, and a great part of it
was already expended. Besides which, contracts had
I been entered into for the building of the Barracks.
After a few observations from Mr. Maxwett and
Mr. ARBUTUNOT, relative to the Barracks at Hamil-
ton and Glasgow,
Mr. HUME hoped that the House would support
the Amendment. With respect to the contracts for
the Barracks, he was ready to vote for pulling them
all down again as soon as erected, rather than incur
the expense of maintaining them.--The House div idea t
