HC Deb 13 July 1858 vol 151 cc1429-30

Order for Consideration read.

MR. LOWE

said, the Government, by founding this colony, had undertaken the protection of life and property in a wild and lawless district. This could not be done without expense, which he supposed the Government had calculated. He wished they would inform the House what their calculation was, before the third reading of the Bill.

MR. WALPOLE

said, he would mention the matter to his right hon. Friend the Colonial Secretary.

Bill to be read 3o on Thursday.
