§ Viscount Duncannon moved the Committee on the Australia Loan Bill.
§ The Duke of Wellingtonsaid, I will take this opportunity of throwing out a uggestion, that it would be much the 1294 best plan to put an end to all the Australian Commissioners, to whom allusion is made in the bill before your Lordships, altogether. A worse system was never adopted for the management of a colony. We ought to place that colony, as the other colonies under the Government of her Majesty, and rule it in the usual way by the Colonial-office. I disapprove of these commissions altogether.
§ The Bill was then committed, and its third reading fixed, as we understood, for Monday, until which day their Lordships adjourned.
