had expressed and recorded upon introducing the sub- 

 je£l but a few days ago, and then moved the following 

 Resolution : — 



" That this Court will take into its favourable considera-

 deem to be pra6licable for promoting the civilization 

 of the Indian tribes in the remote parts of the Colony." 



The Honourable Colonel McTURK rose to support His 

 Excellency's Resolution. It afforded him the greatest 

 gratification to do so, he had had frequent intercourse 

 with the Indians, and considered them well deserving of 

 everything that could be done for them. He agreed with 

 Mr. SCHOMBURGK in the opinion he had expressed of 

 their general integrity — the Indian was seldom known to 

 be guilty of theft unless when in a state of inebriety. 



The Honourable Member gave notice, that as soon as 

 the Estimates were before the Court, he should move 

 that the sum of Six Thousand Guilders be placed in the 

 usual proportions for Demerary and Essequebo and Ber- 

 bice, for promoting the civilization of the Indians, 



The Honourable Mr. RoSE moved as an amendment 

 upon the Resolution of His Excellency The Governor, the 

 addition of the following words, viz., " as far as might be 

 consistent with the diminished resources of the Colony."

„ Macrae „ Robinson 



„ DOUGAN „ GlOSTER
