MR. DARBY GRIFFITH

said, he should like to know what course the Government proposed to take with regard to the Estimates. Supposing they took money sufficient to last for four months, they might not go into Supply again until that time. He wished to know whether the Secretary for War would bring on the Votes again within any reasonable time, for some opportunities of discussion ought to be afforded.

SIR JOHN PAKINGTON

said, he might appease the alarm of his hon. Friend by informing him that it was intended to proceed with the Army Estimates on Monday, if there should be sufficient time after the introduction of the Reform Bill.

MR. DARBY GRIFFITH

thought that would be a most inconvenient time.

Vote agreed to.

House resumed.

Resolutions to be reported upon Monday next; Committee to sit again upon Monday next.
