Debate over Royal finance and debt plan in Commons
In London the House of Commons debated the budget and debt policy. Gladstone criticized the Treasury display of a surplus, noting increased expenditures during the Conservative year and excluding several loan and society accounts. Northcote defended the system, while Lowe accused the administration of producing a fictitious surplus and squandering a Treasury reserve. The session adjourned for Whitsuntide. The report also notes mutiny news aboard the Evelishman, wounded mutineers being moved to London Hospital, and appointments of Sir John Holker and Count D Harcourt to judicial and diplomatic posts.
