EARL PERCY thought the clause very comprehensive. In fact, it covered almost everything which could occur. MR. MARTEŇ was of opinion that the words covered a large area.
MR. HERSCHELL said, it was simply so to cover any informality on immaterial points.
Clause 20 (Saving of the Duchy of Cornwall); and Clause 21 (Short title), severally agreed to.
LORD KENSINGTON moved, as an Amendment, to insert in page 10, after line 26, "the Pentre Evan Cromlech, Pembrokeshire, Nevern."
Amendment agreed to; words inserted accordingly.
MR. MACARTNEY (for Mr. ELLIOT) moved to leave out, in page 10, line 31, "Cæsar's Camp, Wimbledon."
SIR JOHN LUBBOCK said, that although the monument was consider- ably effaced he had consulted his hon. Friend the Member for Mid-Surrey (Sir Henry Peek), who had expressed his opinion that it would be a pity to leave it out.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Schedule, as amended, agreed to. Schedule II. agreed to. House resumed.
Bill reported; as amended, to be con- sidered upon Monday 10th March, and to be printed. [Bill 89.]
ARMY OFFICERS (GUARDS AND LINE).
MOTION FOR AN ADDRESS.
MAJOR O'GORMAN moved for an Address for a Return of the nominal roll of all Officers-Guards and Line- who had volunteered for service at the Cape, distinguishing those who had passed the Staff College.
Motion made, and Question proposed, "That an humble Address be presented to Her Majesty, praying Her Majesty that She will be graciously pleased to give directions that there be laid before this House a Return of the nominal roll of all Officers (Guards and Line) who have volunteered for service at the Cape, distinguishing those who have passed the Staff College."-(Major O'Gorman.)
COLONEL STANLEY said, he could not see the advantage of the Return. It was quite obvious that many officers volunteered over other officers quite as anxious for service. The information would be very voluminous, and he could not understand what purpose it could serve, except to illustrate the fact that certain officers had been sent out to the Cape. These officers would not stand in the way of the promotion of the officers of the 24th or any other regi-
ment. He was bound to demur to the Return.
The House divided :-Ayes None; Noes 53.-(Div. List, No. 34.)
WAYS AND MEANS. Considered in Committee.
(In the Committee.)
(1.) Resolved, That, towards raising the Supply granted to Her Majesty, the Commissioners of Her Majesty's Treasury be authorised to raise on or before the 31st March 1879, any sum of money not exceeding £4,250,000, by an issue of Exchequer Bonds.
(2.) Resolved, That the principal of all Exche- quer Bonds which may be so issued shall be paid off at par, at the expiration of one year from the date of such Bonds.
(3.) Resolved, That the interest of such Ex- chequer Bonds shall be payable half-yearly, and shall be charged upon and issued out of the Consolidated Fund of the United Kingdom, or the growing produce thereof.
(4.) Resolved, That, towards making good the Supply granted to Her Majesty for the service 1879, the sum of £4,250,000 be granted out of of the year ending on the 31st day of March the Consolidated Fund of the United Kingdom,
Resolutions to be reported upon Monday next; Committee to sit again upon Monday next.
