§ MR. HUMEinquired whether any further information had been received from New South Wales respecting the defalcation of Mr. Manning, the registrar of the court there, and whether the Government had taken any means to repay the creditors on the funds in that court?
The CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUERreplied, that proceedings had already been instituted against the sureties of the defaulting party, and that the sum for which they had rendered themselves liable by bond had been recovered. As for the payment of the charge which might devolve upon the Colony, that was a question of colonial revenue, to be determined in New South Wales.
