keep the assessment as low as possible, and to equalize, but never to increase it. In the ceded and conquered provinces there had not been an increase for fifteen years. The proprietors of land had been decidedly told that there should be no increase under existing circumstances and all that could be alleged against the Governinent was, that they had given no pledge that the assessment should not be increased under any circumstances whatever.

Mr. S. DIXON opposed the motion; which, after a few words from Mr. Trant, was negatived.

PENSIONS.

General THORNTON moved for a return of the pensions granted by the East India Company. He said, that his attention had been called to the subject by seeing that a printed return, similar to that which he moved for, had been laid on the table of the House of Commons.

The CHAIRMAN said that a list of the pensions granted by the Company, was annually laid on the table of the Court in conformity with the by-laws.

General THORNTON said he would be perfectly satisfied if he understood that the list referred to by the Chairman included the whole of the Company's pensions. The CHAIRMAN replied, that a list of pensions had annually been laid before the Court, from 1813 to the present time.

General THORNTON wished the whole of the persons to be included in one return, which would render it unnecessary to refer to the annual lists separately. The CHAIRMAN said he had no doubt the gallant Proprietor would find all the information he required, if he sought for it.

General THORNTON said he would withdraw his motion for the present, with the intention of renewing it at the next General Court, if he thought it necessary. The Court then adjourned.
