CEEBYLY rose to make his promised motion; he said the Petition presented by the Last India Company, praying a loan of 1,200,0001. gave a fallacious view of the Company's affairs, and was an absolute imposition, In that petition it is stated, that the Company ia only deficient 2,4C0,000/, o hen the fact Was, that they were, to his knowledge, ?alma three millions They also endeavour to make it appear that they had eight millions of property in this country ; but by the accounts which he would move for, he would make it manifest that they were deficient at home 12 millions.
