THE LUNACY BILL Their lordships went into esmenittee on this bill. Clauses I and 2 were agreed to. tin clause 1, which provided that no evidence as to the conduct of an alleged lunatic should extend beyond two yeas before the issuing of a commission, and that the mere opinion of a medical man should mit be received as evidence of insanity. Lord CHELMSFORD objected to the provisions, con• tending that the present law enabled the Lord Chancellor to limit the period of an inquiry, while if it was made iin porotivo it might often work hardship and injustice. He moved the omission of the clause. The WED CHANCELLOR believed that the clause he proposed was absolutely requisite to bring beck the course of procedure in these cases to the rule and standard of rearm and common sense. He admitted that in addition to the necessity of bringing the bill before parliament for the other purposes for which it was proposed to provide, his lineation had been most thoroughly arrested by the proceed lags is • recent triaL He bad, however, been exceedingly cautious not to harry legislation under the pressure of a particular instance, and had been careful to examine ether *lanes of that kind, far the pumas of eliciting what were the defects of which such just complaint was made. He detected two evils and two aeomalies, one of which was that there was so limit to the en quiries in a question of inanity, so that when the plat was whether the unfortouate subject of the inquiry wee inane at some pa rt icular tisk the evidence might go beck to what he said mad did many yews before, sad so men could pos.

The witness was next staked what be observed at that time, and he said, " My opinion was that he waa of infirm mental orguaisatiou —congenital," aid he cad the following ex premien.

One gaieties pot WY cot this seders : " Yea concur witteme that is ratters of this deariptioa it is a matter of evidence and a gaieties of degree."

" I think that a came like this speaks for itself. I think any man of the world would be quite as competent as myself to come to a right conclusion, having all the fact, of the ma before him." (Hear, hear.) If the idly si,:ian took this and that fast and founded his own couclusiou upon them. it was • work of supererogation, because it WWI the business of the jury to draw the con elusion for themselves. (Hear, hear.) He quite admitted that medical witnesses might be more accurate and acute observer" Hutu others, but be wanted to prevent them telling the court, without the evidence upon which their conclusion was founded, that their opinion was that the man had a diseased brain, and that a diseased brain ac counted for this fact, and that therefore the man was mad. In that case the conclusion that the brain was diseased was arrived et by the medial man from particular grounds known on , y to himself, upon which the jury could not judge, and for which there was no satisfactory standard • laid down by the expert. themselves sou to secure unani mity of opMion. They had got in the law terms to which certain ideas and certain conclusions were attached, but from porticaLir terms in the:medical vocabulary different setae& were entertained and different coaclusioos derived. In one case recorded, half the medial witnesses bleated that there was no limacy, because m their minds they always attached to homey the existence of delusions, and in that case they found teem Half a-doyen other professional gentlemen, how ever, iegsrdcl lunacy as incapacity of the persons to manage themselves or their affairs, and they pee as their opinion that it was • clear case of lunacy. An illustrating another part of his measure, the noble and learned lord mentioned that in en inquiry which bated five days, and of which the expense was :1,452f., the result was that the commissioner and the jury went to 009 the alleged lunatic at the end of the in cry, were with him au hour, and came out at woe with the concluxims that it was a clear case of insanity. In another sae, half • doses medical witnesses went to see the subject of the inquiry, ad the evidence given by one was that the decoy of mental power might be set down se part due to nianis and part to paralysis ; and that if the paralysis had °rearrest without roasia,themobability was that he should have fouiet her mind in • state of decay without delusions. The doctor adduced as proof of the patient's insanity that she could not tell him how much 1001. • year was • week. But no erns-examination the counsel asked him, in his turn, if be cord.' tell, and the learned doctor was observed to hesitate Oast the counsel, " Don't be nervous, how much is it :" ta(l the doctor, " I decline to state."

This was the way in which these inquiries had ebven abuod, until the very idea of amad doctor's examination had become a by-wool. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY agreed that it wee both cruel and neje*t to ramble over • ma's past life when the sole piestiou wee whether or not he was mail at the pre. ant tin.... In fact, if that course were adopted, he scarcely knew • person to whom such • collection of strange and violet se,.le nal acts might not be attributed as would justify his detention in an asylum. He watered he had been very much astonished to hear the ob arnitions of the noble and learned lord (Lord eranworth), for the law already required in the certificate a recital of acts which had to he observed by the medical men them selves.

Mr. E BAINES gave notice that when the house went into committee on the resolutions to be moved by the right hoe. gentleman the member for Cambridge (Mr. Walpole), on the subject of education, he would move the following resolution : " That, in order to prevent unuecessary acid undue expenditure of the public money, it is expedient that the managers of schools, before receiving capitation money from the Com mittee of the Privy Council on Education, shall declare their belief that the circumstances of the parents whom children attend the schools are such as to require public easistance for the education of their children ; and that the district in which the school is situated is such that it could not be maintained without *mistimes from the public puree ; and that it was unnecessary and inexpedient to grant public money for the support of evening sabots. inasmuch as the youth attending them were generally in the receipt of wages, and were able to pay the expenses consequent upon such instruction."

(Hear, hear.) THE POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) (No. 2) BILL. On the motion that the house do go into committee on this bill, petitions were presented by Mr. Maguire, Colonel Grindle, Mr. Make, Mr. Heady, Mr. 'Ahoy, Mr. Leader, Mr. Maini, Mr. Cakisti, and the O'Cooor Don, praying for attentions in the Poor-law of Ireland. Mr. GREGORY said he wished to take that opportunity of bringing under the consideration of the right hon. baronet the Secretary for Ireland • matter of °ponderable importance as regarded the administration of the Irish Poor-law. Amosq the large attendance of Irish members wally had been chairmen and members of boards of guardians, and it would no doubt appear to them that the mointeinnos of it central authority was of the utmost importance to the proper carrying out of the law. If that was so it would be their duty to remove everything which might bring the board into mgt t with the people out of the way. He was sorry to tmeiMt there was one muse of dissatiditc lion existing, and that wee the constant dismissal of Boman catholic chspides from workhouses. Perhaps in some eases the sennaissimers were right and the chaplains wrong, but on the other hand there was one case last minion is which the 110111,1110 was true. His object was to remove this menu cif dheatidaction, and then the working of the per law weal be Isere smooth and harmonious, and thee ahem. add be made without any sacrifice of principle. Wirt he wadi peepote was, that upon all occasions where it might be build teresssery to remonstrate or dis miss • Immo Win& &aphis there should is the first instates' be • mumnsicatiosi with the spiritual authority by whom the impish: had been appointed. For every. body hew that se chaplain could hold the office without the genetics d hie spiritual superior, and the bishop had always to be applied to to appoint • proper person. There fore. all he wise was NA lir party who appointed should is the first indorse be relined to, and previously to the dismissal of the chaplain. If this proposition should be adopted, they would remove one source of disagreement in the proper working of the poor-law in Irelacel. (Hear, hear.) Mr. OSBORNE complained of the constitution of the Poor-law Connuiesion. The grmt proportion of the persons requiring poordaw relief in Ireland were Roman catholics, whereas the members of the board were all protestants. Sir R. PEEL, in replying to objectors, said he had never found say of that great dissatisfaction which Mr. Gre gory supposed to exist on the score of the removal of Roman catholic chaplains without the authority of their bishop. If the commissioners acted (as they did) towards Roman catholic chaplains in the lame manner as towards protestant chaplains, he did not understand the force of Mr. Gregory's objection, and could not accede to his pro posal. With regard to the constitution of the poor-law board, it wee true that them was oo Roman catholic emu minimer urea it, but the members of the board were selected for their quidifi.utions and fitness, without refer ence to their creed, and he thought it would be most injudicious to import sectarian differences into the adminis tration of the law. He was sure that the commissioner', whether Roman catholic or protestant, would exercise their functions with the strictest impartiality. This preliminary diaeusaion continued for some time, chiefly with reference to these two matters. Upon its ter mination, the house went into committee upon the bill, and the chasm up to the flub were agreed to, alter much debate and milli. amendment..
