BREACH OF
As s.)on as the minutes of the last Court were per
through,
Mr. SAVAGE 1, 5* to call the attention laibe-Cipare

to a gross breach 45f its privileges by one of its own
Members. In the early pa, tof last year he had intro.,
laced the same question to the Court, and it was then
referred to a Committee. lie now again solicited their
indulgent attention to it. The consluct of which he
had to complain was that of a Member of the Court
who bad taken a sum of money from an individual for
the purpose and in consid.tratio.s of his prornite to
procure for that individual the situation of deputy
sea-coal-meter.
Ilere a Member rose and snowed that strangers
should withdraw.—(Several voices cried out " No, no.')
Mr. SAVAGE hoped that a question of this impor-
tance would not br discussed with closed doors.

The question fur the eat-fusion of rtrgngrrs was car-
ried. and the Court was cleared.

It was nearly two Acura before we were re-admitted,
and we then understood that it had been referred
to the Committee already appointed on the subject,
to lay the minutes of evidence taken by them before
the Court.

On the motion that it be agreed to,
Mr. S. Dittos thought that, before the question
was carried, and before the land was rested in the
Crown. the Court ought to hare an assarance that the
post-office would be built, and that speedily, on the
site in question.

a lob. and entered into with the view of getting rid
of those who were sot freemen. and resided in

bo!, hod salatacen the questio* altogethe►. The goes

In fact the Corporation were bound to make pursu-
ant to act of Parliament, and theie own former agree-
omit. The Corporation, when they should have done
this, would ►ave done their duty, and he bad no doubt
that the Government would du theirs.
Mr. S. DIXON said, that it could be no obstacle to
the performance of this duty that every member of
the Court should have a printed copy of the report.
and be concluded by moving an amendment to that
effect.

TM* was seconded by a Member whose name we did
net leers, nod who said that he protested against this
job altogether.
