sha salary of the Governor.
Mr. GOHLBURN observed, that if It was meant
lobe stated that the Cape of Good Hope under the
patch Government maintained its own civil and mili-
wy openJiture, he must deny that statement alto-
ther as it was not consistent with the facts. He
'
then defended the present Establishments at the Co.
Lac, and said that the salary of the tiovernor was
oot snore than sufficient for the necessary expenses of
Iris situation.
Mr. W. SMITH again rose, when
The CHAIRMAN wished to observe to the Com-
;•.l..hough it was perfectly competent for it to
,proceed as it liked, that a question upon a grant of
sooner for the Civil Officers of the Ordnance, did not
limn to apply iu any way whatever to the general
system of C ilonial Government.
hued MILTON considered, that when the House
was voting Miley money for the public service, it was
quitegaimpatent for them to enter into an examination
of say branch of the expenditure. Such was at least
the old and constitutional way, but Gentlemen oppo-
well object to it, for they did not at all act
u;stra the uld rules and conduct of Parliament.
Mr. W. SailTll explained.
'I is? Committee then divided—Fur the Amendment,
.15—Against it, 86--3lajotity in favour of the ori-
ginal Resolatlou, 31.
Vie next Resolution was a Grant of 36,0001. furl
Birracic and Garrison Stores, in Great Britain, and
tar islands of Guernsey and Jersey.
Mr. GIPPS wished to have some explanation re-
lative to some items in this Estimate. It appeared to
him that for cerain services which here now charged
:s5 001. only 20,000/. had been voted in 1817.
Mr. WARD explained that the extra 15,0110/. was
rlsargrd npun this Estimate, instead of the unpruvialed
autsant, where they appeared in 1617.
At. HUME complained of the confusion which
eaa• wet in this Estimate, and said th:.t the Corn-
tutrtre auuld not vote it, without further explanation.
51r. J. SMITH could not understand how 13,0001.
mold be expended in bolding for Garrisons, and par-
titularly it hen those articles were cheaper than they
bad tiros for forty years.
Mr. 61111'S confessed that he did not understand
ti.e rea.aaiss hy this increase was made, and he there-
fart nsoi et' that the Estimate be reduced to 33,000/.
Sly. U. 111 Will said, that the 15,0001. included the
p. ul Barrack Serjeants. and other contingencies.
'3lr. HUME said the present Estimate might tn he
rponed until Hon. Meisibera could understand the
Firt“ I Oars of its contents.
After a few observations from Mr. Want),
61r.GIPPS said, if the II ble ientlrtnan would
1.,-..knot the Estimate, or put the House in possession
or e-s,oatsatury papers, he would withdraw his Amend-
SG. WARD hail no objection to furnish whatever
papers the Hon. Meusber desired.
Mr. lII' ME vomplained of other portion' of the Esti-
vate, and said that tt ought to undergo considerable re-
litleloll.
Mr. DIABRRIN said, that when he had proposed a
tellurian of four millions upon the whole expenditure.
Car. ,ruble hurl said that the ought first to examine
the details ; and now they were come to the details,
there was no disposition whatever to retrench. lie
complained that the tiovertintent had got into too ex-
pettstve a system. 'the Stuns Departments in the Ord-
Lars..e, and Naval Nliscellatteous Service, might be dis-
peocaal with.
