§ THE O'CONOR DON (for Mr. O'REILLY)asked Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer, If he would state to how many of the Public Departments in the Schedule to the Orders in Council on the subject of examination the Treasury claim the right by Act of Parliament to appoint without conforming to the regulations of the Order in Council?
THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER,in reply, said, that the Treasury and all other Departments to whom full powers of appointment were granted by Act of Parliament possessed the right alluded to in the question. He could not enumerate those Departments. But if it were meant to ask, whether it was the intention of the Treasury to exercise that right, he begged to say it had no such intention.
