For his pert. he had no parti- cular rc olption which he intended to offer. yet if the den etc as were taken up. and a discussion were called fort . he would probava take part in it. but he consid- ered it out of place to discuss the subject. matter of them at that time.

That matter was taken into consideration by the Colonial Minister. and Well weighed by him. I was in England at the time. and had an interview with him on the sub- 'ect. This was followed by a despetch to the then

outoneat Governor. authorising the issue of Treasury notes. but requiring that a certain proportion of specie should always be funded for the purpose of "(looming any amount of.this paper which might be required. An answer was requests-d before they would sanction the measure. interfere with oar-Colonial aii'atro as to moist u on such terms now, but I do not think they would. do nutI mnkcthcsc remarks because I am an advocate for Him issue of paper cxocpt upon a proper footing; but i; think it is not imposvible that means should be dcvmcde to issue a reasonable amount, and the value of the notes rendered safe and acceptable to the public. IItrWt'tt‘l‘.l this matter did not originate with this House. and I did not cunts here prepared to propottud any particular scheme which would enable us safely to authorise the issue oflrensur notes to a greater extent than is at present to circu ation.

I do not think there would be any great danger if they were made redeemable in specie in ten years. even if we had to adopt the novel mode of giving the holders the benefit of interest for the lesttwe years. But. perhaps. some of those gea- tlemsn who are better financiers than I pretend to be. if the put their hands together, could devise some bet- ter an.

"on.
