Sarurpay, April 16th.

On motion of Hon. Mr. Baer,a Bill in ad- dition tv the Act to incurporate the town of Charluttetuwn was read a second time, and the House went into committee thereon.

Hon. Mr. Lory: [do not think this Bull requires much discussion. I believe it passed in the other House unanimously. 1 am of opinion, however, that it will give importers ol Hour a great deal of trouble, and perhaps it will be of just as little service as the jaw for the inspection of fish. People are almost certain to be deceived by that law, for it is not properly carried inty effect. Perhaps they inspect one barrel in 30 or $0—not even that if the weather is cold. However, [ think it will be weli to pass the Bull, for it may be of sume service ifa large quantity of flour should be imported and the barrels de- ficient in weight.

lion. the Presipevr : I[ think a law of this kind is really necessary. 1 cannot speak irom ex}erience, bat L have heard many per- suns complaining of being imposed upen by barrels of Dour which they had parchased be- ing deficient in weight. 1 think there should he some regulations to compel traders in|

rels belore they sold them.

lion. Mr. Ramsay: I| believe a law of this kind is necessary, though, like his honor the President, L cannot speak from expericnee, |

He thought, therefore, that there would be

no great risk of the law being viclated | through iguorance, And, in general, there

was such » good understanding between the

inagistiates aid the people, that very few o! the former would be disposed to carry our | the strict letter of the law.

tHlon. Arrowney Genenan: The re‘erence | to the Mayisterial Courts is not for the | purpose of Jimiting the amount of costs whieh | ‘he Marine Court may have power to en- | foree, but merely to point out the mode of provedure.

Bar- rels which have been handied and knocked about a great deal may have lost two or three | pounds each.

Hon. the Pagsipent: I would like to see an Act that would extend to the whole Is- land, and I think the quality of the flour

‘tor the laws were printed in the Royal Ga-| of Assembly by the Hon Mr. Longworth, to | Stould be examined as well as the weight in

the barrels ascertained. I[ knew a person to } purchase some floar, and when he ascertained |the quality of it, he would not take it off |the wharf. He got a miller to examine it, who said it was not flour at all, but barley mecl, and as he refused to pay for it, he was | sued and had to pay the expenses. Where there is a deceptivn like that practised, there stould be some remedy.

The Houss was then resumed, and the chairman reported the Bill agreed to with- out any amendment.

On motion of the Hon. Mr. Lord, the Bil] relating co partridges or tree-grouse, and to repeal parts of certain Acts therein mention- ed, was read a third time and passed.

PUBLIC ACCOUNTS.

Ifon. Arrorney Genexar stated that ap- plication bad been made by the auditors of the Public Accounts to be allowed to take them back for the purpose of exa:aining cer tain alleged errors which had been brought to their notice, and which they were desirous of correcting ; and bis honor moved that the Clerk of this House be «athorised to return the said accounts to the auditors for that purpose. ‘The errors, sa‘d his honor, are not of any great consequence. f observe one with regard to molussess ; but it appears to be only a clerical error, as the amount of duty is cat- culated and carried out right. There is also an apparent error of £10 on the duty on tea. tt way thought, when it was first examined in the louse of Assembly, to be a real error ; but on a more close examination, the amount of duty was found to be right, though it might appear as an error on the fa®e of the accounts. Again, on the daty on coffee, there is a slight error, and which I believe is a real error, though a very small one. The amount of duty on green and roast coffee is different, and it is not very clearly shown how mach of each wasimported. In the article of tobacco there isa similar error, ‘The duty of six pence on manufactured and four pence on unmanufac- tured is not very clearly distinguished. Then | there is an error of £12 in the Impost Ac- counts of New London, but which, as well! as some others of minor importance, is noticed in a table of errors (for every error which the auditors detect is carried out in a sepa- rate table), and this table does not appear to have been referred to by the House of As- sembly. The aoditors are desirous of having an opportunity of examining those errors, and [ see nothing very objectionable in comply- ing with their request.

Hen. Mr. Lorp: Is it customary, your

templated to have the quality of the flour in- | spected ; if it is, the Government should be | very carelal who they select to perform the duty. It would require a person of a| great deal of discrimimation to distinguish | between No. l and No. 2. I think the ob | ject in view would be gained much better by |

honors, after the Publie Accounts have passed through the auditors’ hands, and have been laid on the table of this House, to hand them back to them for correction? I do not think there is any precedent for it. 1 never koew of an instance of the kind before. His honor the Attorney General says the errors are very

nection with them ; hut if your honors think

| preper to appoint a day for the House to go

objection, and L will be prepared to defead them,

tion. Mr. Lorn: T did not accuse that

| Officer of making a false charge, but 1 want

to culleet money in that office.

Hon. Arry. Gun.: I rise to a point of order, There is no question before thisHouse _Tespeeting the accounts of the Comme sioner of public lands, and it is quite wrong to get up in this sudden way and snap up an ob- jection to the accounts of any public officer. if his honor desires fair play Jet him take the proper course—let the accounts be referred | to a committee of the whole House, and then let his hunor make es much noise as he likes, bat to make eneh assertions in this manner is quite improper.

lion. Mr. Lorn: T have no very great ob-

jection to sending back the accounts. _ Hon. Mr. Wanker: His honor the Attor- jney General bas charged the Opposition with a dereliction of duty, for not examining the accounts ; but one menber of the Oppe- sition, who is now absent on leave, did ex- amine them, and has a list of the errors ia tis drawers. I do not object te returning the accounts for correction.

fon. Mr. Dinawett: 1 do not wish to make political capital vat of small errors in any of the public documents; and I believe there are no very material errors in those accounts as his honor the Attorney General has said. But | doubt very much if it would be right for his honor the President to allow them to leave the House and go into the aa- ditors’ hands after they have been laid upon this table. 1 am as anxious as any to see the sugzestions of his honor the At- a General earried out; bat I think it would be a very dangerous precedent, aud that it would place his honor the President ina very dangerous position. Therefore, L think the example of the Speaker of the louse of Assembly is the safest course ts pursue. Besides the errors are so numerous that L believe it would be impossible to cor- rect them in the same book, so that new ac- counts would have to be made out ; and that being the case, it would be no service to re- turn these. The errors may not be very serious, but they are very numerous—so nu- merous are they that the chairman of the committee on the accounts in the House of Assembly found that he could not report. it is our duty to see that his honor the Pre- sident is not placed in au awkward position by any act of ours.

Hon. Mr. Henperson: 1 would support the chair by all means, and I am glad to see that gentlemen of the Opposition are willing to do the same. But I am sure that all mer- cantile geutlemen know that there are some- times great difficutities connected with com- plicated accounts. I know something about military accounts, and I know that it ie sometimes very diflicnlt to make them out correctly ; but at the same time | would not stund up here to #) ologise for any publie of- ficer neglecting his duty. 1 dare say it is sometimes very difficult to make up those ac- counts where there are different rates of duty on manufactured and unmanufactared artu- cles, and the quantity of each not very clear- ly set down, Llowever, if it is consistent with Parliamentary usage, [ see no great ob- jection to returning the accounts to the aadi- tors fur correction, so that they may send them here in a proper manner as they should have done before,

Iloa. Mr. Beer: A good deal of irrelevant matter has been brought into this debate, and I think it comes with a very bad grace from his honor from Prinee Coanty (Mr. Lord) to say that the Publie Accounts have heen ** cooked up.’’ The oaly inference that can be drawn from that assertion is, that there had been an attempt to make the rev- enue appear either larger or smaller than it really is; but there was nothing of the sort, fur the sum total is correct.

Fuipay, April 15.

On motion of the Hon. Mr, Beer, a Bill in addition to the Act to extend the crimi- | nal jorsdienion of the Police Court of Chare | jotte-own was read a third time and passed. BILL TO PREVENT THE DESTRUC- TLON OF PARTRIDPGES.

Oa motion of the Hon, Mr. Lord, a Bill

to see tiat the intentions of the Legislature : upon the poorer classes ; for the dispropor-

tion between a five of 10s. and one wouth's | iw@prisonment was must extraordinary. LU» would support the ameodmeut to wake ii two weeks instead of one month.

Hon, Mr. Anperson thought ten days were long enough.

Hon. Mr. McLaren was of opinion that the proportion between the amount of the fiue and the duration of the imprisonment should be such as to induce thé transgres- sors of the law to pay the fine rather than go to jail. It was sometinics the case that wheu the fine was beavy and the duration of their imprisonment not long, parties convict- ed would go to Jail as a sort of revenge upon the informer; but at the same time be thought that the duration of the imprison- ment imposed by the clause then under con sideration was out of proporuvn to the amount of the fine.

tlon. Arrornxby GENERAL said he was no present when tbe clause upder consideration was read; but he unders:cod fiom the re- warks of some of their honors, what their abjections were. With these objeciious he did not altoge her agree. In tuis country we had no game laws. It was open to the

poorest a8 well as the riche-t man in the Co- jlony to kill game, if he can do so withoui

trespassing ov bis neighbour's property ; but it was not so to Beteato. ‘There, a man bad to pay a very high licence fee before he would be allowed to kill game. The pre- servation of the game in this country was as much for the bem fit of the poor as the rich

‘mun, and we shoud do that which would be

likely to carry our intentions iuto effect.

ilon. Mr. Dixeweut : I do not rise to op- pose the Bill, tor L think it is necessary, as many of the barets of Aoar are deficient m weight ; but | think the qaality should als» be inspected. [t should aiso be seen that the inspector did his duty—that he actually in- spected the flour; and [ would render him liable to a fine if he neglected it. If the pur- chaser saw the inspector's mark upon a bar- ‘rel, he would be thrown off his guard, for he

fully carried into effect, it might be an in- jury instead of a benefit. I have no great vbjection to the Bill, bat [ believe its opera-

Swabey’s accounts, when that gentle- man was in the Public Lands Office; and what do we find now ?—a cooked-up set of accounts. It was not for want of time, for nearly two months elapsed between the end of the financial year, and the meeting of the Legislature ; and now we are asked to allow theta to take the accounts back to patel them ap, sv as to go down a little better with the country.
