Sir W. Brown, anys that "the Treasury ex- ercised a discretion as to the intention to the Act of Parliament. The Treasury, being the bighest fuazcial fepartment of the Crown, overenled the Act. We confess we do not be lieve that the Trapsary has any authority to overrule Aole of Parlament, and we do not be liere that it claims to have. But Sir W, Brown and his brother Commisjunoze never applied to the Treasury on tko,xubject; if they it, they would have been guiltless, though the Transury might have been to blame They though they were following the decision of the Treasury-in an analogous pass; and though they were paying themselves, and acting contrary to an Act of Parliament, they never thought of nek- ing leave.
Everyone will agree with the Commisioners of Public Accounts in saying that there was "grave impropriety" in this entire transac tion. Intentional dishonesty certamiy there was not the Commoners of Income Duty for the War. Oftos are far too respectable to take a sixponse to which they did not think they were entitled. But the adjacent species of Hopropriety there unquestionably was; the Commissioners were fur tos ready to think they were entitled to take public money which was in their churge, which belonged to others, and which palpably they were not entitled to take,
The important question, indeed, is the second of the two we propounded, and Mr. Bonveris dia well to direct the attention of the House to it. The system of life we bara donoribed is directly obu langed by some of the most ardent advocates of the Bill, and is indirectly called in question by all who supporbit, Two pictures of life are presented to us as matters now stand, men undertake to provide for women a safe and abettered sphere within which they may develope all the guatlo powers of their na tarin which their piety, their affection, their grace and beauty may and room to grow, in which they nay nurture the delicate sensibili tice of obiliren, anften the naperities sensed by the rough struggle of life, in which they may soothe the aged and purify the young.
