the second place. the great expense attending these sham convictions. First, the additional allowances to the militery, who, by the way, in ooe of the in stitutes he had slloded to, hod committed a most wanton murder upon a poor labourer, who was go ing to Isis work, and who had nothing whatever to do with the business; next to the expense of the military attending oo these netaiong. were the ad ditional allowances to the ateise of f icers, the ex pense of the prosecutions. thd convictions, by the payments to the Law Officers, and the rewards to the prosecutors. vis. the Excise officers, froth the Commissioners of Excise. Fur these reasons. he moved, That an Account be laid before the /louse, stating what rewards have been promised or paid, by or on behalf of the Commissioners of Excise in Iceland to any of their officers, for the detection or conviction of persons having unlicensed malt, the number of prosecutions and convictious, end the Expenses attending such convictions,. Motion agreed to. 11111311 NAIL-COACHES. Mr. Comma raid. that he would detain the House for but a few minutes, to state why he felt it right to 'call for some returns relative to Mail-Coach Coiorracts in'lreland. He took it for granted, that it would not be deniedthat thetreot end to be tit :Wised by mail;coaclies, was the con.; veyance of the mails of letters with expedition and safety ; but by the kind of carriage contracted for in general, by the Post-Olfice neither of these ob jects were attained. The carriages, in most cases, were heavy coaches, 'carrying six inside and four outside passengers. which, with the coichthan and guard. made twelve persons; now it was easy to see. that this coach, with the 'quantity of luggage and parcvls which they must asecessartly require. could not travel at mail-coach rate. The conse quence was. those carriages. thOugh the mail-coseh roads were excellent, travelled' at only six English tulles an hour, when the very *slowest of the mail coaches here travelled at seven miles an hour, and must of them at eight miles in the hour. The hall consequences of these heavy coaches to the trade and commerce of the citatory were very great; for by au early (etaining of their cot respondence, the merchants could better regulate their markets and their trade. It was evident, that as the snails left town always at the same hour, that by increased expedition they got farther en their journey before theyinerthe return mail ; and, therefore, that, by increased expedition. many of the intermediate post towns could receive answers to letters the same day that their letters were deli vered. But one circumstance which he thought most culpable was, the entering into contracts in reversion, sometimes for fourteen. sometimes for twenty-one years, thereby saddling the country with these heavy coaches for that length of time.— This practice. he was of opinion, should be put en end to. It was therefore he begged leave to move for abstracts of contracts with proprietors of mail-coaches, stating the number of passengers to be conveyed, rate of travelling, &c. &c. This 'notion was also agreed to. PARISH VESTftIES BILL. Oa the motion of Mr. STURGES Bootee, the Report of the Parish Vestries Bill was taken into reconsideration. Many blanks were filled up on the motions of Mr. G. OILIER? and others. Mr. GILBERT moved as an amendment, that no person should be entitled to vote at vestries wino had not been assessed 51. per aunties to the poor's rates. Mr. S. Souatis considered the amendment went too far. Already considerable prejudice had been raised against the Bill throughout the country. It was not the interest of the House to lanction any *intendment which might tend to increase the exist ing prejudices against the Bill ; and he assured the Hon. Nlember, if lie should press the amendment, that he would divide the House upon it. After a few ohservatiotss from Mr. S. LEFETRE and Sir C. MONCK. of a similar nature— Mr. D. GILBERT stated, that although con vinced of the importance of the proposed amend. meet, Ise should, in compliance with the general expression of the feeling of the House, withdraw the amendment. The oinendment being withdrawn, the Bill, with the amendments, was ordered to be engrossed, and ►end the third time, if then engrossed, to-morrow. ASSESSED TAXES. Mr. MCTHUES wished to ask a question of the Right Hou. Gentleman (the Chancellor of the Ex chequer) respecting his intention as to the tat upon certain descriptions of two•wherled carriages. He had been requested by tointuniiiaitions from smite persons in Wiltshire, who had been shamefully ►ur charged in this respect, to ascertain what measure of relief should be extended to persons so surcharg ed, as had (if he recollected rightly) been hinted at by the Right Hon. Gentleman last Session, to make the iiiquiry of the Right Hon. Gentleniaii, and more pArtscularly to ascertain whether the intended relief wise to have a retrospective effect ? The CIIANCIELLOR of the EXCHIRQUER could not give him at that moment any satisfactory assurances ns to the retrospective effect of the remedy. But lie could not see how these parties could be 'ulti mately without remedy, even as the Act stood at present, in all cases of excessive or illegal vurcharre. _ . Mr. METHUEN said, it was of the utmost tin• portance a satisfactory ativwer should be then given, a. the patties bad been already advised to resist the pat ment. Here the conversation concluded. ALIENS. Mr. I-AMNION seeing a Noble Lord in his place, whose statement on a former evening, respecting alleles, had been contradicted in another place, which 6c could not, conformably with the rules and orders of the House, mention. took this oppor 'ty of attempting to obtain more positive and accurate information on the subject, by moving expretotly for copier of official documents connect ed therewith. a. he was apprehensive the statement o f the Noble Lord might have a prejudicial influ ence on Members of that House, when the Noble Lord's Bill respecting Aliens should be discussed. lie moved for copies or extracts of all came si lessee between the Secretaries of State, since the toils of November. IBIS, respecting aliens ; and also for copies or extracts of all correspondence between the Secretary of State in Great Britain rod the Ambassador of the Netherland., respecting ',motions grautuble or grouted to petunia not being subjects of the King of thi Netlieilatids, to come from or retort) to the Netherlands. Lord CASTLEILEAGII .tatecl, he had given to the House, on a farmer evening, that information which he had reason to believe w.O correct, and assured the lion. Member, he should be happy to afford him that spears of information which might be 'considered most satisfactory. Re.liowever, thought the most eligible mode of proceeding would be to let time present motion stand, not as a motion. bat as a notice of motion fur another evening. - • To which Mr. LAMBTON assented, end notice W Riven by him of his oilention to mike the above atentioued motion to-morrow. IRISH GRAND JURIES. Mr. VESTA' FITZGERALD rose to call the anew. tion of the House to the motion of which he had given notice, on the subject of Grand Juries in Ire land. It would be recollected, that in the course of last Sesiion the House, after a deliberate exam ration) into the laws which governed the proceedings of Irish Grand Juries, directed that a certain num ber of cuutity surveyors should be appointed, to decide on the practicability and examine into the expense of Such public works as should be present ed to these tunes. In consequence of the impos sibility of procuring competent persons to fill the offices of theie County surveyors, that part of the Act of last Scission had been suspended early in the present. He lainented•that it was found necessary to suspend this part of the Act, and he begged at the same time to state, that in the Bill which lie nowintended to introduce, the clause for the sp. Pointment of county surveyors would be alto gether omitted ; neither was it I n s intention to embody 'in the Bill that provision most objected to in Ireland, of restricting the reception of pre. sentments to the Assizes at one part of the year; he meant to leave the arrangement of that busi ness precisely as it heretofore stood. The opt . or every fair man on the state of Grand Jury business in Ireland. was, that some alteration in it was necessary, to prevent Grand Junes from being surprised into decisioos on presentments, without having an adequate opportunity of coon tiering either their necessity or merits. To remedy this evil, he meant to propose that all presentments for new works should be submitted at a full attend ance of Magistrates (ate attendance that ought to be rendered imperative) at the Quarter Sessions to be held previous to the Assizes, at which these presentments were to be laid before the Grand*Jury. It was not 'intended that either the approval or disapproval of these present ments by the Magistrates at the Quarter Ses sions should trench upon the prerogative of the 'Grand Jury, or prevent their proceeding. as usual, to consider the grants thus submitted to them the previous submittal of the intended grants to the Magistrates was by no means intended to control or supersede the legal province of the Grand Jury— (Hear)—on the contrary, it was rather meant to facilitate and enlarge the performance of their duty, by enabling them to have better information on the preaentments submitted to them thins it was pro. bable they previously hail, and thereby enabling them. perhaps, to order public works, from which they might have previously refrained from conscien tious scruples. as to their want of adequate infer !nation to justify this appropriation of the public money. las was Most desirable in all cases of these presentments that the utmost publicity should be given on the nature of the several applications for local grants. Io all cases it was known that au affidavit of the necessity of the application and of its probable expense was made, but in nine hundred and uniety-nine cases out of a thousand this affi davit was made in the dark, as to the expense, and the effect was. that little attention was paid to the sanctity of the oath, and • moral laxity of course prevailed as to the solemnity of the obligation. In lien of this part of the former systeiti he meant to propose, that no person should * ha called on to swear positively as to the definite amount of ex. pence, but that it •should be competent for the Matistrites to call for such evidence as the nature of the case admitted. in support of the different presentments,—(Heur, hear.)-- He would not, at this moment, trouble the House with any details of the manure, which might be better explained in a future stage; he enfold merely state, that, in addition to this prelititinery regulation, on the probable expenife and necessity of the proposed works, it *As his wish to make more efficient arrangettessfs for the accounting branch of the expenditure which may be ordered. At present there was no accounting fur this expen diture in the manner that there ought. Ile nitwit to introduce • provision which called for all the de tails of the expenditure voted. and rendered it ne cessary fur the party to produce proper evidence. on oath, as to all the items for which he paid the public money—and also that such inquiry should be openly carried on cora*r jodree, and the ac counts liable to be traversed until the next Assizes. It was far from being his intention tti introrlace any irrelevant matter on this subject. or to provoke any hostile feeling, where none. upon • proper under standing of the subject, ought to exist. Ile dis chinned casting the 'lightest reflection on the Grand Juries; it was the s 3 stein that necestiitisted the relbedy. and slot any impropriety du the part of the Gentlemen who guided its operation as the law stood. To lily a parliamentary ground for the ne cessity of some control in the accounting part of the presentment money, he had only to state this strong and indisputable fact, that in no Maumee, save one (and that was looked upon as au act of romantic virtue). had one farthing been returned of the autos voted for Iliadic work.—though it was notorious that the sums sworn to as necessary at the outset, embraced is major view of the expense, and always left room fur eventual contingencies. %%rhea these sums amounted to half a million annually, the House might form sonic idea of the importance of a proper Check um au expenditure so conducted. This check could be only properly had by an ex amination in open Court awl before a Jury, with liability to have the accounts t) • sed. To his motion he could anticipate no objection. It did not, as he had before said, trench un the poser of Grand Jurist.; but, on the contrary, it gave theta a b.tier facility of transacting their bit-Mess than they heretofore per, at med. It was fin I r his wish to take au iota from their proper ruiliority, as lie was aware of the valise which Ireland must derive from the local rehab-tic. , of a gentry very properly exercising the ri ;: lit to toiler the neces‘ary expendi ture of their own counties, lle was sure that this Slim'. authority could not be vested in fitter hoods, and Ora the law, n 4 he propelled to have it amend ed, would volatile the Grand Juries to do their business as they would wish it to be done, without bring liable either to imposition, or a want of proper information on the subject of soy presentment that might le submitted to them. So important situ this reformation iu the Grand Jury sy.tein iii Ireland appear to him, that lie was determined to persevere in calling the attention of the House to the subject, nor would any considera. tion deter him from following up the to itter. Ile would, at bast, have the consolation of feeling that he had performed his duty, and his, labours would be abundantly repaid, if he found to the result that he had raved a single peasant from the, expense of an assessment which he ought not to have borne, or protected the rights of the huinhlest individual from the slightest invasion or oppression. Added to this would be the valuable refection, that be had tried to check a erste& of taking oaths, which was most offensive to the hest interests of religion and morality, and most dangerous to the community at large.—/ Hear, hear.)—Ple then concluded, by moving for leave to bring in a Bill to provide fdr the more deliberate iiiVestigation of Grand Jury Presentments in Ireland, and for securing a better account of the money applied for such works. Sir GE . C.HCB I-lit.t rose to second this motion, though lie was of opinion that some parts of the proposed measure would require much consider- 51r. Dr.sts Bacitrtit did not rise to oppose the motiou. Ile fully concurred io the opinion. that if any part of the system of Giand Juries were found injurious in its operation, the Legislature ought immediately to apply a remedy to the evil. fie could not, however, help observing, with reference to the proposed Bill, that it did nut contain a single principle which was not already provided fur by the existing law. He saw no additional security provided on the subject of the oath—it was already publicly taken, and the alteration was only that the party on whom it seemed no reliance was to be placed. should undergo an examination on the strength of that obligation, to which it appeared he was indifferent. The Hon. Gentleman then stated, that no modern alteration had taken place in the mode of levy for these assessments. in the county with which lie was more immediately con nected, no 'alteration in the imminent had taken place since the time of Lord Strafford—the Grand Juries were not chargeable with any defect in this branch of the system. It should, besides, be kept in recollection, that of the large amount said to be levied by these bodies, a very considerable portion went for unite different purposes than the build. ing bridges or roads—it went to pay the local establishments of the police and constables, to sup port the gaols. and !Jay the expense of carrying sentences against prisoners into executionto sup port certain charities—in fact, there were a variety of expenses of this kind, and to a very large amount, which these assessments included. Sir HORN l'aitisst.r. approved of the general features of the Bill. though he certainly would prefer it bith any provision for making another effort to carry into Oactical execution the system of county surveyors—( Hear./—Out of a list of 18 surveyors, three had only been found competent before the Commissioners it candidates for these offices. •nd nothing would be more 'unfair than to suppose that. because no return of approbation was made, no competent persons were to be found to execute so important and necessary • duty. The real fact was, that a most extensive weight was imposed on the surveyors, • part of which might he spared if a modified measure were considered ; by the former provision they were not only called on to estimate the expense, and superintend the exe. cution, but also to examine into all the details during the work. They might. under a modified scale, be relieVed from a part of this duty, and yet left with enough to perfortn for all public pur. poses. Another alteration might be made in the mode of managing the public expenditure ; this should be done as touch as possible by contract fur the works, and not by s daily superintendence of the details. _ _ _ Mr. Peet confessed himself to have been friend ly to the appointment of county surveyors in the drat instance, but experience and a more accurate inquiry into the subject, had since wholly changed that o; ' . It was ►wt fair to say that the n►ra; sure was abandoned, ur.til after a full trial had been made, without effect, to procure the surveyors in the manner required by the Act. Independent of this impracticability, he thought the office impo litic, for the county surveyor fit to hold it should be a man of great local information in his vicinity ; this must connect him with u number of persons in the neighbourhood, who must necessarily be inte rested in d►fferent applications of the expenditure— and the Masi who could resist ruch au influence must be one of stricter integrity than in general tell to the lot of person% called on to fill situations which necessarily gave thrust control. No imputation whatever could attach to the professional capacities of the gentlemen examined before the Commis- Moiler', some of whom were Men of tried experi ence, and who had been employed in respou•►ble public wortit. Ile must certainly hoped that this part of the ntein.ure, which had been fairly tried and found impracticable, would Wit be re-intro. duced. Sir FIERILY PARNELL and Mr. Peel. Mutually explained. Mr. Illy rLER concurred in several of the obse►- vations which had fallen from Iluu. Members un this subject. Mr. Wars BROWNE explained. Mr. FitzutaALD stated, in reply, that out of 20,000/. its oi.e county which had been voted, unit a shilling was fur a new work, but fur repairs. lie regretted the impossibility of carrying into effect the appuinFM•ttt of county surveyors, as he thought they would be of rpsential use to the public interest. lie concluded by stating the grolilicusion be felt at huding the brief outline of his measure so well received by the House. Leave ass then given to bring iii the Bill. EDUCATION OF THE POOH. _ „.. 11h. BIOVGHAII (%s we could collect) said, he wished the Poor Education Rill should go through int giViit Stag , to- row, ir it would suit the con veuience or the ISolile Lord opposite to have ►t un dergo a rfiscino.irni then. Lord CAsiuttracit was ready to give Pvesy ac couttuotlxiou to the 1100. Metuber. Ile could now flute, that lie liad a• objection to that clanse in the Bill appointing . Couumasioners with a fixed salary. • Mr. BROUGHAM iv:o much surprised at what had fallen from the Noble Lord. It was vain to expect professional men, some of wh kkkk must be Iliclwle.l in the conornituoirm, al Id labour without remune ration. The Bill did not go to smote the Cot 1111 l is sinners, but following the precedent of the Bills appointing missions of iiiriniry into naval anti nu litary accounts, left the nonnuatioto of them il. the Clown. Lord CASTLEREASTI wits ready to agree, that professional men would not bestow their labour gratuitously ; but lie was of °pia l i 111 l that instead of nominating them with stated salaries, it should be left to the discretion of the Crown to reward them, front time to time, as their exertions would appear to deserve.—(Hear.) -That would also be a cheek against the Commissioners exceeding a reasonable time in discharging the duties for which they had beets created.—( Hear.)—ll. Ireland this principle had been itcted on, where Commissioners for a anitlar purpose had acted without any prefixed emolument, but only • power reserved to the Crown of granting orcisional rewards ; and he was of opinion, that the individuals to be monied would not look tipou their compensation as less grateful, because coming im mediately from the Crown, or from the understand ing that it must in all cases be canted by actual service performed. Mr. BROUGHAM seemed to be oaf opinion, that ■ limit should be put to the emoluments of the Cononiiisionerv. He had understood that the CUM-. inissioners of Naval and Military At counts had had IR salary of 1,500/. a year. lie ti lit that too much, and had intended to fix it at 1,000/. a year. Mr. LESLIE FO‘TEtt, in 'rising to move for trace to bring in the Bill of which ..he had given notice, said, that the provisions of the Rill merely went to extend to Ireland the law on the subject existing in England; and it was allowed to be desirable to assimilate the two laws as closely as could be done. He would therefore move •' for leave to bring in • Bill for the relief of persons in Ireland entitled to entailed estate", to be purchased with trust monies." The question was carried. and leave given. POOR "LAWS AMENDMENT BILL. The Order of the Dty was then read for the further consideration of the Report of the Poor Laws Amendment Bill.—The Report was read. various amendments proposed, and read a first and second tittte.—The Bill, with the amendments, or deredto be engrossed, and read the third time to.. irlorrow, if engrossed. Lord CASTLEREAGR postponed the second read ing of the Alien Bill front Friday nett till Friday se'nnight. The SPEAKER observed, that, as so little private business now remained to be transacted, no incon venience would arise front entering on public lousi ness at a quarter-past fOur o'clock. On the lumina of the CRANCELLtIR of the tk- CHEQUER, the Churches Building Bill was re-cont muted. ..... In the Committee, rome verls.il anienilmentt were made—the Howie returned—the Report was brought up—the Bill, with the amendments, or dered to be engrossed, and read the third time to morrow, if engrossed. Mr. W. Siena, in the absence of a friend, gave notice on hits part. that he would tn-morrow sl ight move for leave to bring in a Bill for the more ef fectually presenting frauds in the imports and ex ports of articles belungisig to the manufacture of clocks and watches. PitESERVAiION OF GAME MIA,. The Order of the Day having been lead for the second reading of the Purchase of Gone Hill, Mr. CUR*Eii hoped the Iron. Member (Air. G. Henke') would postpone any proceedings on the Bolt till a full House could be proeurett. It was too important a question to ken througli s o thin a House as they had to-night. Mr. Co. Il•Nitts expressed himself dosirons to give every attention to the accortimool.otouti of the Hon. Member. and he would totnply with lois wish for postponement; but that if the Hilt wete not read a second titt►e to-night, it t be lout o.fr till after the recess, when there would lie too chance of having an early night fixed fur it. Ile knew some Gentlemen were hostile to his Bill. as tending to strengthen the tysteni of the Game laws; hot he was resolved to 'proceed nu this supple wound-- that it was expedient to resider every (rut of the existing law as certain in hit operation as possible, though that part of the law might be open to Id,- jections, or even intended to be repealed. A change sti the great principle of the Game Laws was toot the work of a day. Ills object was to make that a direct violation of the law, which was v ugly uu iiidirect one—to take away the temptation for teens gtessiug the law, and put the purchaser and ►eller uu the saute footing. He agreed in the recommenda tion of the Comm►ttee on the Game Laws—and it they would make game private property, they would render the law more sitople, and more certain in its operation ; but at the same time lie concurred no the opitiou expressed by the ►atte Committee. of floe difficulty in effectiog that. tVlieu any Al.-usher brought forward a ►measure founded on the Itepoort oft lie Cou, ittee.eut h raciogall the ioonots that they had recommended, he VMS ready to legislate to the full extent of their principles; lie was ready t.i repeal every existing law on the subject. Ilut the Committee had erred in supposing ilia Gilllle Laws to have been constantly growing mote severe from the time of Chattels II.; they had, on the contrary. since that time, been declining iii severity. Rich corporal 00000 P. PIIAI as that of London, if they should be prevented from purchasing, might feed game, sad receive them as presents 110111 their friends. Ilia Bill was calcus listed to lessen the penalties inflicted on the lower orders, by taking away the temptation to transgress the law. It would be salutary iii preventing of fences, at least in preventing the excuse for offences. lie was prrstnitled it would overthrew hire, the moat crying abuse, the sak of game in int:outsiders able country loans. Mr.CURWEN ruse to oppose the Bill. lie be lieved it would be perfectly nugatory. or very nearly so. lie trusted the House would pause be fore they added any more to the statutes on the Came Laws, already u great evil, and not ut all adapted to answer the end proposed by them, the preset ration of the gunir. The Bill under con sidesatims might enhance the price of game, lint that was the utmost tt would du. In a wvulti y commercial contilry like this, gime might to l►e al lowed 10 CUMe to mark. t. The pia sent law guarded the rights of wry-tenth of the landed proprietriri of the country, and left the remaining nice-tenths unprotected. The House should call to mind the tram when the (Luise Laws were first enacted. The lauded ...terra was then the leading our of the country, but at this day it did nut constitute more than the one-seventh part of its property. It was impossible fur country gentlemen to protect the game, without incurring the g►rratrst 0111111 1 1. To his knowledge, the unpopularity produced by attempting it, frequently drove men of ex cellent character out of the country. The ge. 'mend feeliin; of all orders was a deteitatioo of all the Game Laws. The true mode to pre• aerve the game would 1w to make it private pro perty, to give all proprietors ail interest in presets , - mg it—that would create nine preservers where they now had but one. Ile would go further and say, that it ought to he made the property of the occupier of the soil, except in case of an opposite contract between him and the landlord. This would convert tli t which was owe viewed very lightly into a moral crime. Gaine should be made pru perty, and exposed for wile in every town of the kingdom: The Bill went to establish the principle of ripienage. and 'to make the servant a spy ou his minister. If game were made properly, it would be looked upon us motions to kill a partridge on another larair's ground, as a turkey. The Bill would, fur every reason, receive his decided opposition. Mr. IBRANtS opposed the Bill, as a measure meant to support and uphold the (lau►e Laws—a system of laws at variance with even• principle of nature, justice, property, and social right. It was absurd and unequal in its eiractruents, and tended to demoralise liar labouring' classes in the agricul tural districts. He had himself postponed the troduction of a general radical remedy, till he 'Mould see something of the tour and trouper of the House on a subject of such magnitude. The went object he would have in view would lie, to get rid altogether of that remitatit of frontal tyraiiiiy.— He hoped that a Bill for the reviniii of the GAM.: LAWS would 1)1. introduced :Dimwit as possible, more particularly when it was considered, that wlthill the present year not Irss than 1.100 persons had been imprisoned for offences which these very Acts had Miluced the lower orders to commit, It would lie most desirable to equalise iti this respect the rights of proprietors of laud, whrther great or small. Mr. U. BARREN and dlr. BRAND explained. Mr. LOCKHART reit there were strong objections to the system of the Caine Laos. The law as It slow blood shifted the punishment attendiog Sell poricliiirg front the heads of the tempter to those or the tempted. The discoverers of these sales of gallie would, no doubt, he found to be the very parties who had been engaged themselves in the side—some what like those persons employed its corrupting and bribing the voters at use election, who were often the first to give evidence before a Committee on the scrutiny of an election, of the very offence of bribery or perjury, which they had hero the means of effecting by corrupt ulr,uts. He thought the provisions ul this Bill altogether ineffectual, and felt it his duty to state that at present lie thought there was no decrease in game generally throughout the country, and this lie could speak to from ocular observation, havin i r been for these thirty years a sportsman himself. Ile hence thought there was tin reason to prone. the gain* Clinker than it was by the existing Sir CHARLEI BUUREt.t. objected to the manner which the returns of persons cosifined fur poach ing lord been made out, since they had included ninny in confinement for other offences.
