§ MR. W. CARTWRIGHTasked the Secretary to the Treasury, Whether any 1237 scheme for regulating the Salaries of the Officers in the British Museum has been recently submitted by the Trustees to the Treasury; and, if so, whether he would state the date when such scheme was transmitted to the Treasury, and the decision that has been taken in regard to the recommendations made by the Trustees?
§ MR. W. H. SMITH,in reply, said, that a scheme was submitted by the Trustees in the early part of April, in consequence of certain communications that passed between the Treasury and the Trustees of the Museum. That scheme had been very carefully considered by the Treasury, and an answer had been sent to it that evening, containing the proposals to which the Treasury were prepared to consent.
