The bill granting an annuity of g.. coo
70 the Duke Of Ea!n burg upon his apprOac D.
ing marriage win the Princess Marie Alex
androva came up On ITS second reading.
+. A. Taylor. member for Leicester,
moved that the second reading Of the bill
be postponed one month. He spoke at great
length in support of the motion. He pro-
tested against the frequent applications b7
the crown for grants of annuities to annual
children.
He stated such applications placed The
Queen in an untavorable and unsatisfactory
light before the public. He thought if the
civil list was sufficient for the proper man-
tenance Of the royal house he held that the
crown ought TO surrender to the public
treasury the immense private property
now held by it. He he'd that if her pri-
vate property be retained by the Queen
there can be no necessity for the apprOpria-
ton provided for in this bill.
He stated that the whole management Of
the civil list naturally gives rise to numer-
GUS grave suspicious on the part of the
public by reason Of the secrecy with which
II is invested. He also said the people Of
Great Britain were not interested in the
proposed marriage of the Duke, and be-
sides the latter receives an ample allowance

George Anderson, member for Glasgow,
seconded the motion to postpone. He Ce-
clared the proposal contained in the bill
was disgraceful,
Edward ?. Bouverie. member for Xii
marrock and John Sidney. north member
tor Oxfordshire, spoke in opposition 20 the
postponement Of the second reading.
Mr.. Gladstone regretted the tone OF the
discussion which had taken place. He de.
MED that the government had maintained
any secrecy touching the management OF
the crown property.
The civil list. he said, was never intended
to provide for portioning off royal children.
Parliament must either adopt the course
at present proposed and as pursued with
regard to those of the royal children already
married or provide for an increased civil
list. He upheld the proposition contained
in the bill, as it gave to Parliament the con-
troll of the conduct Of the crown and of the
royal family. The motion to postpone was
lost, and the bill passed on it's second reading
by vote Of l62 ayes to l8 nays
