CONSOLIDATED FUND,

The adjourned debate on the Public Revenue and the
Consolidated Fund Charges Bill was resumed.
Colonel DUNNE objected to the transfer of certain
charges from the consolidated fund, and thereby sub'
jetted to annual revision in the estimates. He moved
that the bill be recommitted.
Mr. BUTT suggested that the bill should be divided
into two parts, separating that which was unobjectionable
from that portion which had excited opposition in Ireland.
The CHANCELLOR of the Excrtz Quzu could not agree
to this proposition. _ _ _

Mr. RAI;IEB thought that an injustice had been done
to Ireland by this bill.
Mr. WILLIAMS supported the proposed transfer of
charges.

Mi. GROGAN advocated Mr. Butt's suggestion.
Mr. WILSON contended for the right of parliament to
revive the charges and salaries in the schedule attached
to the bill.

After some further discussion, the house divided on the
question that the bill be recommitted.

been brought into operation as soon as the act of parlia'
