Order read, for resuming Adjourned Debate on Question [9th June], "That the Resolutions which upon the same day were reported from the Committee of Supply be now read a second time."

Question again proposed.

Debate resumed.

First Resolution being read a second time;

SIR JAMES ELPHINSTONE (amid repeated cries for a division)

rose to object to the Alderney Vote. He objected to the extravagant expenditure of money at Alderney, where no less than £800,000 had already been expended, and it was proposed to add a larger sum. He moved a reduction of this Vote by £80,000.

Amendment proposed, to leave out the words "£165,000," in order to insert the words "£85,000."—(Sir James Elphinstone.)

Question put, "That '£165,000' stand part of the Resolution."

The House divided:—Ayes 44; Noes 40: Majority 4.

Second Resolution agreed to.

Third Resolution being read a second time; Amendment proposed, to leave out the words "£89,000," and insert the words "£79,000."—(Mr. Lygon.)

Question proposed, "That the words proposed to be left out stand part of the Resolution."

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.

Resolution agreed, to.
