As, however, the ministerial Memorandum seems to proceed upon a misapprehension of what is the exact pro- cedure of the House of Commons in England with respect to taxation and appropriation, it will be convenient that I should explain for your information what really is the system which prevails in this country.

The votes in Committee of Supply authorize the expenditure, the votes in Committee of Ways and Means provide the funds to meet that expenditure. } 5. The manner in which this provision is made is as follows :— Early in the session votes are taken for the pay, &c., of the naval and military forces, and a resolution is passed in Committee of Ways and Means for a general grant out of the Consolidated Fund towards making good the supply granted to Her Majesty. This resolution is reported to and confirmed by the House. and upon it a Bill is founded,
