§ Mr. Wellesley Polethen rose to submit to the committee the estimates for the ordnance service of the year. The aggregate of the estimates for the present year exceeded the amount for the last year by 798,000l. but the committee would not consider the estimate for the present year too high, when it looked to the extent of the force proposed to be maintained, and to the circumstances of the country. He should, therefore, content himself with simply moving the estimates; but should, with great satisfaction, answer the inquiries that any gent, might 256 think proper to make, and put the committee in possession of any information in his power. The hon. gent. then moved the following resolutions: "that there be granted to his maj. the following sums, under the following heads r For the expence of ordnance for his maj.'s land forces in G. Brit. 3,163,4l6l. 2s. 6d.; for the service of the ordnance office in G. Brit. 190,344l. 2s. 4d.; for the expence of ordnance for his maj.'s land forces in Ireland, 503,2041.; to replace a similar sum advanced by the exchequer in Ireland for the service of the ordnance office, 129,2301.; for the service of the office of ordnance in Ireland, 470,7651. 4s. fid.; the resolutions were agreed to without any comment, and the house being resumed, the report was ordered to be received to-morrow.— Adjourned.
