§ DR. BOWRINGasked what steps, if any, the Government had taken to give effect to the recommendations of the Committee on colonial accounts, those recommendations having obtained the sanction of the House?
§ MR. CARDWELLwould shortly state what had been done in this matter. After the Resolutions to which the hon. Member referred were passed, instructions were given to the Commissioners of Audits to revise the whole of the regulations under which the sums dispersed over the Colonies were paid. The revisal immediately commenced. He believed it was now nearly completed; and when the regulations had been so revised by the Commissioners of Audits, they would be circulated in all the Colonies, accompanied with instructions that they should be immediately carried out.
