CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. Pm= Sia T. Thum, Ma. lames Varrneon, AND BAEOX Wars. THE CMAHOII 07 SHOOTING AT Elea MAJ MITT. Wiliam Mani atom was placed at the bar to plead to the indictment chergis:g him with a misdemeanour, in having unlawfully discharged a pistol at her llssj sty. The indictment alleged that the prisoner, on the 191 May, at the parish of Si. Martin-imam Fields, having in hi. pout:Lion a certain pistol loaded with an explosive substance to wit, gunpowder, unlawfully, wiliuVy, and toolicioesly discharged the seed pistol at h r Majesty, with intent thn reby to do injury to her pencils. In other ceun's of the indictment the intent of the pri eoner was laid to be to alarm her Majesty, and to cause a breach of the peace. The ptisoner pleaded guilty. The Attorney-Cieuer.l then rem acd said that perhaps their lordships would forgive h . sa for stating tl appear" g as he did on behalf of her Majesty, in his publi: capacity, be did not Orel it wee memory for him to say more than that he was quits cutest to leave the ease in the hands of their lordship', who were ao doubt well acquainted with ell the eircuats.ances from the depositions, and, therefore, were in a position to decide what punishment should be awarded. The learned judges th' n consulted together for a short time, when the Chief Justice pawed sentence upon the pri mmer in the following terms: Pawner, you have pleaded gu'lty to an offense created by an act of parliament of the 6th and 6th Victoria, and your crime consists in the fact to your haCog discharged a pistol loaded with gunpowder at or neer the parson of her M.ijesty with intent to alarm her. Tea. is the offence to which you have pleadel guilty, and, although in s scue cases it may be desirable that all the parti publiculars under which a charge is preferred should be made ye t par case is so simple and clear that it is not an incanornient circumstance that you should have ple-ded guilty to the charge made against you. It appears, from ti • depositions of the witneses, that you came over to this eoun'ry from Inland, and that you got work here, as a beeklaysee labourer; that you afterwards went to France, and, altar remalolaig there a Mort time, came back to England ; and that you took op your abode in Load sn, with two wanes, who allowtd you to occupy an empty 1100M1 la their bombe, end supported you, you in return getup of ermadefor them. It appears that on the day in question, the 19th of May, you borrowed a pistol from one of these women, and afterwards procured acme gunpewder from a child is the house, and that then, bevies resisted the appli cation of the child to amemperty you, you went alone to the Oren - pick, and, having made some inquiry respecting her Majesty, you waited about until she made bee appearance in Per carriage, and that you then discharged the pistol at her MO sty. The ease aaainst 7:,11 is, than fore, perfectly clear, and the off .nce imputael to you is that of having offered a gross Iseult to her Majesty. There is no ground for supposieg that you intenled to do her blejesty any personal injury; indeed, the weapon you need appeared hardly c apable otdoing mischief. Ihe manner In which it wan loaded also tended to conk. m that impres -1100. it WAIF the opinion of persons well conversant with the nature of fl-marme, Irem the speed of the report, on I other circumstances, that the pistol was merely loaded with powder, and that no bell Lad been plata d in it. There appears, therefore, to be no manner of deubt that you are free from the volt of intending any personal injury to her M.jesty, and it is also quail) clear that you had no awociatea, but that it was your own individual act to commit the gross insult upon her Majesty. It was a most united- Sable sad improper proceeds*, to poem' • pistol at avy person, but the eat was greatly aggravated when the sovereign WWI midia the subject of it. It was a great aggravate's to an insult, when it was offered in • qniuter where rtnllll2oo and hoot ar were due. It was also an act likely to cause greet alarm in the public mind, until the real asters of tits transaction basso known, and the fslhful • tt ,, j. es of her Majesty were assured a the oaf ycf their *overtire. It is &Meek to is agin • what so 'v0304 c meld have tad flee the eenitnieden of seek an a..t, and it appears only to be ettribu'able to an unfor tunate theire t i obt in net ri-ty sad to attract public riven tion for &short period, withmt any intention re.lly to injure her js y. The Quota might be pref. tly assured of 110 T permed safety', from the feelinp enterxxixed by I.er rote towards her, bat it was neve airy ' , hat her laudable de sirotoshowh-re Kuehn people should not be a' all interfered with by bush axis ol insult as that to which you have pissed gui ty, and that the public eh euld al.o tot he depraved of the whole:sues and phasing enj iyaeot of Sc eing their VEST. ign In pabLe by such prs•ceeditsge ee A. se. As, there**, notoriety was your only swims for committing this mileaLievaus am, it le menswear, that y n and ethers of similar propari its sheeld be taught that such notoriety is very short lived, and that it is sp eddy followed by a sentence involving a very considerable amount of degradation and suffering. The sentence upon you, there( re, as a pu nishment for your offence and as a warning to o thers, that you be transport, t beyond the vas for the term of MAUI years. The prisoner, who hear I the sentence with apparent in•T ference, an 1 w ithout making any observation, was then re moved twin the her. A Ton STY.ANIZ WAS BLOWN UP this morning at Biliingagste.

MANUFACTURED STATE OF BREAD. Mr. BANKES, on Thursday, 21st of June, to 111/VO that the house resolve itself into a committee of the whole house, to take into consideration the manufactured state of bread. CRUELTY TO ANIMALS BILL. The Marquis of WORCESTER, in moving the second reading of this bill, said that it was not a new bill, but an improvement on the bill of 1835, the principal alterations being to fine the owner instead of the servant in case of over driving bones in private vehicles, and to enable magistrates to infl et a fine of 5f., which had hitherto been limited to 405., an alteration which the police magistrates of the me tropolis and of several large towns strongly recommended. Mr. HUME fully approved of the principle of the bill, but he wished to know if the existing laws were not sufficient. No man was more anxious to prevent unnecessary cruelty to animals or to men than he was ; but he ft seed that the mul tiplication of acts might render the matter difficult instead of simple. Sir G. GREY said that, as observed by the noble lord, it was not a new bill, but repealed the existing law, and re enacted it with amendments, in some eases substituting inon• prisonment for a pecuniary penalty. He had not the least otjection to the bill, but he thought that in committee it would require a most careful consideration. Mr. HENRY inquired if there war any clause in it against steeple chasing. Mr. MACKINNON said there was no clause to that spe cific effect; but there was a power given by it to magistrates to inflict a penalty where animals were overdriven. (A laugh.) Sir 0,, STRICKLAND said that as no one could object to the principle of the bill, they had better not discuss its details until they went into committee. Mr. W. BROWN ir quired if it was to extend to Ireland and Soctisnd. Mr. ROME DRUMMOND had eo objection to the pen ciple of the bid, but when in committee he would move that it shall not extend to Scotland. (Laughter.) After a few words from Mr. RENLIY, The bill was read a second time, and ordered to be com mitted that day weak. COUNTY RATES AND EXPENDITURE BILL. Mr. RUME said be should rot have felt it necessary to address the house in moving that this bill be recd a acor d time, but fotthe notice of the hon.gentleman opposite(Sir J. Peking on) to oppose it in limine. In consequence of a general demand made through paitions, her Majesty was pleased to appoint a commission to inquire into the general management of the county funds—the result of which was a preliminary report presented Ilth August, 1835, showing a careful inquiry iuto the different taxes, the amount collected, and the manner in wb ich they were applied ; and a second report, presented 2a6 June, 1836, containing the evidence of many of the best-informed magistrates, who admitted the necessity of a change. Ile was examined, and stated that he considered that the fiscal reform which had been effected in the management of the borough rates hed been ap; roved of ; and he saw no reason why that reform should not be carried to the counties. After that report was presented, he introduced a bill, called the County Boards Bill, separating the whole financial affairs of the counties from the judicial. It was read a first Vane with the sanction of the government, buten the ',mond reading w sleet through the opposition of t e county members Since then he hal had nueser.us applications to re-introduce ' the hill, but be had declined, thinkirg it the duty of the minieters to bring the matter before the house. flu., in the early part of this session, he had been waited on by a deputation from Lancashire, and, at their pre sieg request, he had introduced the present bill, which materially differed from that of 1837. Since that time the country had been divided into parlaw unions, and the guardians w re a re presentative body. In the forty years between 1792 and 1832, the cost of maintaining bridges in the several counties had risen from 42,000 to 74,0001.—an increase of 76 per cent. ; the expenses of goo* from 92,0001. to 177,0001.-9 2 per cent.; the maintenance of prisoners, from 43 0001. to 127,0001.-178 per cent ; cost of prosecutions, from 34,0001 to 167,0001.-359 per cent.; constables, from 6591. to 26 6801.--4,303 per cent. On other item there was also a marked increase, avenging 143 per cent., all showing the neeemity of steps to control the county expenditure. In 1835, the total county expenditure of England and Wales was 693,0001 ; in 1847, it was 1,100 , 0001 ., being an increase of 74 per cent. in 12 years ; and the increase in Lancashire alone had been 137 per cent. (Rear, hear.) Though this increase was large, it would have been still larger had par liament not stepped in to the relief of the counties. In 1835, the expenses of pros, curiae% at a asions and assizes hail been thrown on the Consolidated Fund, which, with other Went, relieved the county rates to the amount of 152,0001 ; and these payments had gone on increlsing till, in 1847, they amounted to 533,0001, and in 1848 to 540001., forming in all an aggregate of 3,532,0001. of expenditure, from which the county rates had been relieved, although these rates had nevertheless increased 74 per cent. The measure before the house had neteataarily been framed so as to avoid the more prominent objections raised to the former measure ; sad he be lieved most county members were now disposed to assent te the principle of county financial boards. Some hon. mem bers bed expressed a wish that the bill should give power for assassins owners of property to the oat a viols and other wow buildings; idings; but he dad not think such a provision could be conveniently included in the bill. It might form the sub ject of a separate enactment, and it was one well worthy the attention of the house. With the view of applying some remedy to the evils existing in the county management, he solicited the haws to jive this bill a second ratline, refer ring the conadeention of the details to a select committee, - Ile. H. DRUMMOND was decidedly favourable to the principle of county boards, but thought there wes great mgeoppreheasion as to the powers and dui. sof magistrates in reference to the county rate. In general, he helieved .key wire sincerely desirous to reduce the expenditure ; but their functions von extremely narrow, being confined to esuirtainiog the amount necess a ry to be expended, and ordering that amount to be levied. He concluded by a conding the motion for the second reading of the bid. Sir J. PAKINOTON was net opposed to the principle of Bounty boards, but he believed it would fail to secure the oljects anticipated. The bill was impracticable, and must prove a failure ; he theta," hoped it weuld not feet ive the support of the government. At present, the county exp•ndi tare was mat closely looked atter, in most counties, by the finance committees and the magistrate, and i. any counties could be named as an exception to this remuk, he would appoint a select committee to inquire into the mode of levying and expending county rate. in England and Wales, and to ascertain whether any more satisfacto.y mode of tranncting this business could be adopted. He would move the as en amendment on the motion for the second reading of the bill, which he r. girded as an affront to the county magistncy, and as condemning them without being heard, almost without being accused. The Lancashire statiment, in favour of this bill, was the most extraordinary that had ever been put be:ore the house. It was there stated that the expenditure for the county of Lancashire, in 1824, amounted to 80,0001., and that in 1848 it amounted to 179,0001 ; being an increase of nearly 100,0001 . Now be thought he would be able to show that this was an unfair view of the ease. The figures be admitted to be correct; but if the hen. gentleman took the same items in 1848 that he took in 1824 as he ought to do, the result would be very different. In 1848 the expenditure fur the county of Lancaster was d to its present amount in consequence of bevel( to make additions to two gaols and three lunatic asylums, which cost 63,0001. (Hear, hear.) They had also to pay, in 1848, fur a large county police establishment, which did not exist in 1924. The coat of maintaining which was 39.0001. (Hear, hear.) These two sums amounted together to 92,0001., which, deductcd from 179,0001., left 87,0001. as the expenditure of 1848 as compared with 80,0001. in 1824 ; that was to say, 7,0001. had been added to the county expenditure, whilst the population had increased one third, and the value of the rateable property also one-third in the interval. (Hear, hear.) But that was not the whole else ; for he had a right to deduct 27,0001. from that 87,0001 for the maintenance of prisoners and other expenses con nected with the gaols. I , then, he merely took the same items in 1845 which he took in 1824 the matter would stand thus, that in the former year the expenditure was 60,0001. as compseed with. 80,0001. in the latter. ( Hear, bear.) As he was informeel, this most ote ectioe able and absurd bill originated in local squabbles respectie g the bailee log of the lunatic asylums. (No, no.) At all events, the Lan cashire case was no justification for this most objectionable bill, and formed no ground for bringing a charge against the magistracy of that county. (Hear, hear.) But, eves admit ting that Lancashire was sick, that was no reason why the) she add give physic to the whole of England. (" Hear, be: r, " and laughter.) His proposition was that this but would not effect the object that the hon. gentleman sought to obtain by it. (Hear, hear.) How would the bill work? Every board of guardians was to send one represeutative to the cunty board, and the magistrates of the county were to elect out of their own body a number not ex ceeding one half of the guardians so elected. There were 27 boards of guardians in Lancashire, consequently there would be 27 elected guardians and 14 elected magistrates to administer the financial affairs of the county. The board so constituted would consist of 41 persons, whilst the pre sent magistrates in Lancashire amounted to no less than 450. Hear.) He did not think that the bill would work, for though he knew members of the board of guardians to whom the interests of the county expenditure might be safely entrusted, yet that was by no means the case gene rally. When the county rite comrni goners in 183 G recom mended the adopt:on of • joint board, contesting of elect , d guardians and magistrates, they could have little or no know ledge of the class , epertone who would be electel on the board of guardians under the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834. The honourable gentleman, adopting the language of the re port said, that it was not fit that the administration of there funds should be entrusted to • " fluctuating body." (Hear, hear.) Him • more fluctuating body than this could be devised be was at a lose to imagine. lie cancel on the right hon. gentleman opposite not to sanction this affront to toe gentlemen of England without any charge being proved against the m. The bill was founded in cam plete ignorance of the subject to which it related. (Hear, hear.) He defied any person to divide the financier' from the other duties which the magistrates had to perform. He begged to move as an' amendment that a select committee t e appointed to inquire into the expenditure of the county rates with • view ot ascertaining whether a more effecier and economical syste in than the present could not be adopted. Mr. R. PALMER seconded the metien. He did not know that he should have ohjected to a concurrent jurisdic tion on the part of the board of guardians, althoueh he did not believe it to be necessary ; but the bill of the boo. gen tleman the member for Montrose went melt farther than treat. Although he did not believe that the hon. gentleman so intended it, his bill looked very like an insult to the magistracy of England, for it assumed that they were either too incapable. or too dishonest, to perform properly the du ties entrusted to them. Mr. HEYWOOD said that the great body of the rate payers telt it to be a grievance that they were celled upon to pay county rates without being In any wey represented. As the same time, he could not support the bill as it stood, and was in favour of entering it to a select committee. Sir 0. GREY said that if the hon. member for Deniterieh (Sir J. Pakingron) bad persevered with the amendment of which he had given notice, and moved thnt the bill should be read a second time that day six months, he should have voted for the second readier, being in favour of the principle of representation in regard to county financial boards. (Hoer, hear.) In crying this he disclaimed the intention of making any imputation against county magistrates. He was quite sure, too, that nothing could have been further from his hon. frien d's object than to make such imputations, and whin they looked at the names appended to the report of the commissioe era, hon. members must feel anti fled that there could have been no ietention cn the part of the enin missienere of offering an affront to the magistracy. He had no hesitation in saying that the magistrates generally had manifested, in di-charging their functions, a due regard to economy and to ell the other considerations which ought to guide those who occupied such a position. (Hear.) With reference to the details of the bill he entirely agreed with his hon, friend opposite. They appeared to him extremely objectionable ; end if passed, instead of producing the result anticipated by his hon. friend he believed the bill would be found to euhstitute for the present system one sill more objectionable. The proportion which the elective body was to bear to the magistracy en med to him alto; ether wrung : if there was not to be equality, the preponderance ought to be just in the opposite direction. With regard to the attendauce at quarter versions, it was impossible for any one who was conversant with county business net to know that, while there were some magistrates who were very con suet in their attendance, there were also cases iu which there were the greatest fluctuations, and that it sometimes hap pened that when a special question arose for decision the opinions of those who seldom attended overruled those of magistrates whose attendance was regular. In he own aouute, Northumberland, there were four quarter f(11 , 1l0111 in the year, which were held at different places, and that necessarily ltd to fluctuations in the attend este. Ile quite concurred in the observation that if this evil were incurred at pr, sent, it would exist to a still greater eaten , under the bill. (Hear, hear.) In fact, had the hon. gentleman elc sired to @absentee a flactuating for a perm*. oe it body, he could not h ive devised a better mode of effect ing his object. It appeared to him that there was but link' practical difference betwe en the mover of the motion and the mover of the am ndmcnt. Probebly the best course would be to agree that a committee should be appointed to inquire into the whole subject. That was the fairest mode of dealing with the question. On the subject of the al'eged increase of the canny rates, sorry as he might be to have to qualify his praise of county magistrates, he must express his belief that their vigilance and regard to economy had been much greeter in respect to those items which were permanently borne by counties, and those the payment of which came out of the public treasury. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) In a return lately presented to the house he found an abstract of accounts furnished by the several treasurers of counties in England and Wales in the years 1847 and 1815, and he was sorry to have perceived that the amount thrown upon the public treasury in 1848 was 133,0001. more than in 1847 , the charge having been doubled. Sir J. ?ARINGTON interrupted the right hon. baronet by observing that the new regulation only came into opera tion in 1846, and therefore the first half year of 1847 was not included. Sir G. GREY continued —Independently of this return, his attention had h en recently celled to growing expendi Lure, and it was important that some means of checking the increase should be devised. With regard to the allowance for the expenses of prosecutions, the Chief Harm had writ ten to him to asy that the power of the judges at present with respect to a large portion of the expenditure was abso lutely nugatory. In conclusion, he hoped the amendment for the appointment of a committee would be agreed to. Mr. HENLEY thought it would have been more fair if the right hon. gentleman had considered the subject better before making the comments which he had done on the expeneiture for prosecutioes. He hoped the hon. gentleman (Mr. Hume) would consent to take a select committee as a substitute for hie bill. Mr. V. SMITH said that of the two plans before the house, the one proposed by his hon, friend the member for Montrose was the most practicable, and for that reason he should support it. Mr. ROEBUCK said that it was necessary to proceed to the sec ad reading of the bill, in order to affirm the prin ciple which it contained, that, namely, of representation in county expenditure. He was as much opposed to many of the details of the tell es hon. members opposite; but those details could be am- ndcd in committee. Sir 0. GREY said that in order to prevent meappre hension he would even state what be hod said earlier in the day with respect to the course of the government ss to the present measure, which was that rather than negative the principle of the hill, he would have voted 'eldest the amend ment, notwithstanding his objection. to the details of the measure, but as the amendment admitted the principle ot repraentation in county expenditure, and only proposed to examine further into the whole subject, he was disposed to refer the question to a committee as proposed by the hon. baronet. Sir J. ?ARINGTON explained Mr. C. LEWIS painted out that it was not indispensable for county magistrates to be contributors to the county rates, for their qualification to be magistrates did not rest upon the puma= of land within the county for which they acted. Mr. W. MILES was opposed to the bill, because it cast a slur and inflicted an Wel*a upon the county magistracy, but he had °wry willingness that the whole subject f rating, including the question of representaboo, ehould hi thoroughly investigated by a committee. Mr. EVELYN DENISON bad come down to the how for the purpose of supporting the intro iuction of represents. tints into the admiuistrati•m of the minty rates, bath s thought that it would be better to adopt the suggestion et his right hon. friend, and refer the whole moiler to the is, vestigation of acommittee, rather than subject any parti ci , lar portion or principle of the measure to a seperate dingo& Mr. SPOONER denounced the measure as en affrontte the magigtracy of England, though be was quite favourable to the principle of representation in the manegemeat of tia county rates. • Lot I BROOKE concurred in the propriety of pl , ciag whole subject under the consideration of a committee, with, out prejudging any particular point. Mr. HUME replied—Hon. gentlemen opposite dear% that they were in favour of the principle of representahcg, Then he told them that there were only two ways of ((d ew ing that principle—ene was to vete directly against the bq as against the principle of representation, and the other? was to insert an insidious clause which would have the N ag effect. He was sorry to see the worm affairs hid takes ;gr he considered hat he had been deceived by the govtrogem . Both the right hop. gentleman the Secretary of Side 4 1 4, Home Department, and the noble lord at the headat the government had expressed their approval of the princiAlst the bill, but declined to introduce it, and now opp os e' s , that was the way in which he had been ; but en Krie g ; the second reading to a division he expected that elegy who approved of the principle of representaiom shay divide with him, whilst those who disapproved tee priud i g s would divide against him. The house then divided, when the numbers were-- Far the second reading 96 For the amendment 154 —SS • On the amendment being put, Mr. H. GIBSON proposed to insert certain other wariy with the view of securing the principle of representation. Mr. E. B. DENISON did not anticipate that there*** be any objection to the insertion of the words propseeekg y the right bon. gentlemen, because they would tend to keg the whole question before the committee. Mr. IlUilE was glad to see that the house generally via not opposed to the principle of represents ion; sag though he should support the amendment of his right kg, frieed be had rather that the question had stood as be big originally proposed it. Mr. DISRAELI obj , °led to referring matters of tilts io. portant nature so committees, when the House of Comm; that great popular soembly, was the limper arena in sib* suet subjects should originate and be discussed. Mr. ROEBIICK conceived that that house was cheers% in which a bill of this nature ought to be originced are di. cussed. The bill was one of the very greatest imporkaa, and in his opinion the government, baring approved as principle, ought undoubtedly to hays introduced if. (gig.) Mr. BRIGHT could not se.: what oprosition could Its raised to the words proposed to be introduced by bisii g ht hon. friend. His amendment merely gave the sotetion 0( the house generally to the principle of repretentatioo, and the control of the ratepsyers, of which every hen. mignon, ' had approved. (Hear, hear.) For hie own pot, h e b e . Berea that the principle of rvprecentation might beaked/ to work anywhere, if men were only honest in their desire to carry it out. (Hear, hear.) Sir J. PAHINGTON must oppose the insertion of the proposed words, believing that in reality, if they y r* agreed to, it would be equivalent to the second reading if the bill. _ " 4 — Mr.je t ili n Y i . t F od AT .

JOLLIFFE c tneidered tnat this was not Ma then the former proposition. He doubted whether rep, tentation would secure good management and economy. Ba was of opinion that the present system was as economical, I not as satisfactory, as any the country could ever enjoy. Mr. GLADSTONE said that the hon. member for cheater did nut recommend his amendment as iovolving tie assertion of an imp .rtant principle, but merely as a mused enlarging the field of inq Arty by the commission. The galls ry wee then decent for a division. Daring,: absence we understand there was a motion that toe deb* be adjourned. On our return to the gallery after a abut time we found Mr. DISRAELI, addreseieg the house, she sold that there had been an ettempt to obtain sweep which did net appear to be frank mid straightforward. Tte A•torney- General had made a speech which seemed to entry mune tion to those around him ; yet the AttoranOinnal bed made misrepresentations of a very flagrant thinner. Es had said that the amendment of the right boo. gentlemen the member for M .nettester merely called open the hunts 1 sanction the principle that there should bs an effective ca nal of the expenditure of the county ratee, and he al peeled to all hon. g,ntlemen opposite whether that was a principle to which they could object. But the words "on the put of the ratepayi re " were omitted. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—They were not omitted. I rail it over and over again. Mr. DISRAELI—His impression wee not a seituyine pension, but wan shared itt by every gentleman wheaten him. He would, however, take the word of the bused learned gentleman, that he fairly stated the amendmmtd the hon. member for Manchester as proposing an dente control on county expenditure on the part of retepayem bet could he conteed at the same time that that was not said. mission of the represtata• ive principle ? He gave the Ina. and learned gentlemen the choice of either of !Iwo circumstances, ar.d the result would be, in *Su case, highly unsatisfactory to the impression sleek he wished to convey. He should oppose, by every east etitutional means, the hasty and precipitate settlement of the question. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the hon. sea' her for I3ucking amsbire had thought proper to amoeba of an intentional misrepresentation of the amendment sl his hoe friend. He had said this, that those who semi with the hon. member for Manchester, that this amendment pledged them to a representative system, might y te for the amendm-nt ; and others who did not agree night Tani vote for it. He slid that the best mode of arranging effective control on the part of ratepayers en county esda• diture might be yeti-fled in several ways, either by the nie payers electing auditors or by magistrates. Mr. HUME hoped the hon. member wtuld not pat the house to the trouble of dividing on the adjournment of *I debate. _ The house divided. For the adjournment Against it l3l-48 The amendment bring put, Lord BROOKE sxiil. that as the house had affirmed, tilt if they convnted to go into committee, the principle ms established, and as he felt that required further considergi• he moved, " that the house do now adjourn." Mr. CHRISTOPHER, as representative of a 10 constituency interested in the county rates, thought it advisable that government should let the house know stist the instructions wet, for the tielrct committee, or else dumb right hon. gentleman the member for MEnettes:er withdraw the amendment of which he had given notice. if he refused to do so, he would second the motion for tlif adjournment of the house. Mr. HUME said that there could be no doubt dint* course which wu taken was intentionally to create USA Even hon. gentlemen who admitted the principle sl! voted for the postponement. He thought it wall " more becoming the &muter of county gentlall for them honestly to come forward and say its they they would admit, or not admit , the prisOs of control, by representation, over the expenditure done, rates, and not to take the course which they now took hi delay. lie was prepared to causeut to say mode by vsliA the committee mignt thirk fit to carry out the oriscipls repressntstion.
