It was the practice to lay before the Legislative Body in the first instance the budget of ordinary income and ex- penditure ; when this had been voted, the extraordinary budget was submitted to the Chamber, and, finally, the special budget. There were other classifications as regards time, the financial estimates in their first form of presentation being called ' projet de budget,' in their second, ' budget rectifie,' and in their third, ' budget definitif. ' Great discrepancies frequently existed between the statements and figures thus offered in successive stages, leaving much uncertainty as to the actual revenue and expenditure of the state.
The following table gives the details of the official budget estimates for each of the years 1869 and 1870 — the last voted by the Legis- lative Body under the Empire : —
