SUM - TOTAL OF BUSINESS IN THE SESSION 1931-2.

THE following Table contains a full and particular statement of the business, of every description, performed during the last ses- sion, with the time spent each day in its performance.

The numbers in the first column are those of the Parliamentary days, or, more properly speaking, those of the Vote-paper; for, whether the House actually sits or not, a number is assigned to every day for which a sitting was set down. The time of the House's meeting on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, during the whole of the session, was four o'clock. On those occasions on which the_House sat on Satur- days, it met at noon.

Under the head of" Entries on Votes," is included every separate transaction, of whatever description, to which a number is assigned in the Vote-paper of the day. The distribution of these items of busi- ness is given under the various heads of " Petitions and Motions on Private Bills,"" Public Petitions," and under the subdivisions of the heads" Public Bills" and" Miscellaneous." The last column, con- sisting of" Principal Questions Discussed," has been added, in order to explain the causes which led, on certain days of the session, to very late sittings, as well as to serve in some measure as a general index to the more important questions discussed during its currency.

Prorogation.

In one of the -Columns of the above Table, there is set down the number of item.'s of business which have been introduced after mid- night. It will!' be seen that the time spent in the consideration of these rarelYgl!xceeds a minute or two, and in some cases falls short of a minute. It ought, however, to be explained, that, in many- instances, as the on1T thing before the House is the postponement of a motion which hadi been set down for discussion, but the discussion of which the length]. of the previous debate has rendered impracticable, one minute, oir even less, may be sufficient for the purpose.

There 3is, however, one department of public business which is layed till a very late hour, very generally hurried over with a juite disproportioned to its importance, and for the most part d by an almost empty House,—we allude to the Money De- t, and more particularly the Estimates. We have already ed, that on the 14th of February last, the House, after mid- oted thirty-four resolutions embracing above a million and a oney. The Vote-paper does not give any particulars of the when the Estimates are discussed in Committee, before the Re- s are brought up, in the form of a Report, for the consideration ouse. It contains only the Resolutions contained in the Corn- Report; from which, therefore, we must take our informa-

o the Supplies voted. It is quite true that the approval of esolutions by the House is, in practice, little more than an act ; but, of right, any item of expenditure may as properly be to on the bringing up of the Report as in the Committee. add, that though the following Table, in showing the amounts ey voted after midnight, refers to the Reports only, yet, in fact, with one or two exceptions the Committees themselves, reed to those Reports, had sat after midnight.

following Table of Money voted and business transacted after t, during last session, the first column contains the date ; the e sum voted; the third the number of resolutions by which always de rapidity transact( partmen mentio night, half of busines &Antic) of the niittee's ton as these of for objecte

m of rn Point whic In nfidai semi the different parts of that sum were allotted, every one of which must have been separately submitted to the consideration of the 1-louse ; the fourth column contains the »umber of items of business of all kinds, exclusive of the Money resolutions, which were also disposed of after midnight ; and the last column shows the number of hours after mid- night in which the House performed the whole of the above business.

Thursday, July 26 267,094 ... ....... 10 14 2t There are no means of ascertaining what portion of the time, as. given above, was devoted to the Money resolutions, and what part to the other business of the House. If we suppose it to have beer& equally divided between them—which, as the entire of the Money re- solutions amounted to 239, and the other items of business to 303, is not an unfair division—we shall have, for the final consideration and approval of 239 resolutions, embracing in all a sum of more than eighteen millions and a half, the very limited, space of 16 hours 37f minutes ;_ being very little more than two days, according to the average sitting of the House.

We shall complete this branch of our subject by giving two Tables of the special subjects of legislation during the last session. The first ex- hibits the whole of the PUBLIC BILLs introduced. They are dis- tinguished into English, Irish, and Scotch Bills ; Bills Foreign and Colonial ; Bills connected with the Revenue and Expenditure of the Empire ; Law Reform Bills ; and Bills affecting the Economy of the House of Commons. And the Table shows the days of the introduc- tion and passing of each ; the member by whom introduced ; the period occupied in its discussion ; and the date of its receiving the Royal assent.

The second Table contains all the COMMITTEES which have sat during the last session, showing their objects, the member who moved for them, the date of their appointment, and the date of their Report, when there was one.
