§ Order for Second Reading read.
§ MR. G. CLIVEsaid, he would move the second reading of this Bill. He proposed to take any discussion which might be thought desirable in Committee.
COLONEL NORTHsaid, that Major-General Cartwright, who was an Inspector-General of Police, was entitled to a salary of £700 a year, but in consequence of his having served in the army, and being in receipt of half-pay, a deduction of £200 a year was made from that amount. He 443 wished to know whether it was intended to remedy this grievance.
SIR GEORGE LEWISreplied, that a clause in the present Bill would enable officers of the police force to receive their full-pay in that capacity, as well as half-pay and pensions for military services.
§ Bill read 2°, and committed for Thursday.
