§ The House went into Committe of supply. On the motion of Lord Howick a vote of 89,000 men for the service of the army, exclusive of 20,000 for the East-India service, was agreed to. A vote of 3,000,000l. on account of the estimate of 3,451,000l., for the maintenance of the military establishment of the country was also agreed to, as also a vote of 500,000l. on account (as we understood) 805 of the estimates for army half-pay and pensions.
§ Mr. C. Woodsaid, in pursuance of the arrangement come to at the close of the debate of Friday night, he would now proceed to move certain of the navy estimates that were absolutely necessary for the public service. In order to leave room for discussion on a future occasion, he would leave a portion of the money, and move for the greater part on this occasion. The whole sum required for the navy half-pay, pensions, and allowance due on the 1st of April, was 782,000l.; he would move for a sum on account.
§ The money was voted and the House resumed.
