'The liodatineble Mati,er tonclida with ntov,.., ing
for copies of any minutes of the Lords of the 'nem!
Bury with respect to the private property of the lack
King, and any proceedings or correspondence which
';tad taken place with a view to ascertain th.e amount
of that propyrty.
The CHANCELLOR of the t RCIIIEdUER ex'
pressed his conviction, that the House would agree
with him in-thinking that no inqUiry shOuld be en-
tered into with respect to the private circumstances
of the Royal Family, unless under circumstances of
imperious necessity (Hear, hear, on die Ministerial
Eienthes)—anci as no such reason could be adduced
in this case, he trusted the lloute would see that the

---7
Honourable Member's motion was unnecessary, es-
pecially after the explanation which he had to offer.
Since the death of the King, a testamentary docu-
ment had been found among his Maje riper!,
and the subject had been referred to competent
persons, who had not yet made their Report. But,
whatever the decision of these persons might be upon
the points referred to them, there was no qnestion
whatever but that the proper t y of the late Kingde volved
upon his present Majesty. But as to the amount of
that property, the Honourable Mover had been very
much misled, for that property comprehended about
£90,000 Stock, together with some freeholds, and
the King's establishment at-Weymouth, making ale
together a sum very far• short of what the Honour,
able Mover had stated. What claims there were upon
the ao,ooo Stock, 'lre was not yet enabled to state)
nor could he say what was the value of the property
at Weymouth until it were disposed of; and it was
intended to advertise it for sale as soon as the Report
alluded to was made, as the retention of that esta-.

'blishment was unnecessary for the accommodation of
n!s present Majesty. Under these circumstances, and
after .the explanation which he had made in conso•
nance with the disposition of the Crown to satisfy the
House upon any point affecting its private interest'
he trusted it would be felt that it was not necessary
to press the Hon. Member's motion—(Hear, hear).
Mr. HUME said, that after the explanation which
the House had heard, he had no objection to with•
draw his- motion, declaring that he should not have
brought it forward, if it were not for the refusal of
the Noble Lord to make any answer to the question
which was put to him last night, with respect to the
subject of that motion. It mould be admitted, how,
ever, that the motion had produced a satisfactory
result, in doing away with the exaggerated reports
which had gone ahroid respecting the amount of the
private property of the late King.
Lord CASTLEREAGH said, that he could not
feel himself at liberty to answer any question affect.,
ing the private affairs of the Crown, without special
authority. It appeared,- however, that the Honourable
Mover, as well a, other Members, were quite mis-
taken, as he last night stated, with respect to the late
King's private property, which, so far from amounting
to a million, did not, in fact, exceed 4:104,600 or
£105,000..--The motion was withdrawn.

THE NEW BANK NOTES.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUERrose, he said;
to make a motion, pursuant to notice, to whiCh he apprehended
there wield be no objection, as it merely meant to enable the
Bank of England to enjoy the same security against the forgery
of its new notes that it possessed for its old notes under a former
loor. The Right Hon. Gentleman concluded with moving for
leave to bring in a Bill for that purpose.
Mr. MA BERLEY said, that if he understood the object of
this Bill it was to give the Bank a monopolyef security in the des
teetko and punishment of forgery, and he should think it a measure
deserving of very serious consideration. Ile hoped that the Bill
would be printed, and time afforded to inquire how far the pro-
tection of Country Banks as well as the interest of the Public,
were consulted in its provisions.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed, that
the 13111 he proposed to introduce was not at all meant to grant any
monopoly to the Bank, as its only object was to afford it 'the
same security against forgery which it possessed for its old notes,
without at all interfering with the security of country banks, or
the protection of the public interest.
Sir J. MACKINTOSH said that he had no abjection to the
Right Hon. Gentleman's proposition, as he understood that the
punishment for forgery under this Bill was to be the same as
that agreed upon in the Bill which was yesterday before the
House, namely, fourteen years transportation.
Leave was given to bring in the Bill.
THB LOTTERY.

Mr. BERNAL asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether, as a discussion was expected upoh the Motion for the
third reading of the Lottery Bill, it was the Right Hon: Gena
donates intention to bring it forward at that late hour?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIIEQUER replied, that
as a discussion was expected upon this measure, he should move
the eta of the Order until to-morrow.
. HUME expressed a wish to know whether the Right
Honourable Gentleman meant to withdrast the new clauses?
