Sir W. CURTIS hoped the House would allow the Bill to go into a Committee, and then what misunderstanding there existed might be regulated. Mr. Alderman WOOD was of opinion that the . Bill:shuuld be referred to a Committee, and by this means justice would be dune to all parties. Mr. H.

AGRICULTURAL DISTRESS. Mr. CURWEN prevented a Petition from certain Owners and Occupiers of laud in the County of Uncolo, wapiti; some relief to Agricutture.—Ordered to be printed. LOWER CANADA. ..... Mr. M A RYATT presented a Petition from the Assembly of Commerce in Lower Carped., staling the grievances under which they laboured in consequence of the restrictions im posed upon the importation of grain from that country into Great Britsio. in the course of twelve months the price of all agricultural produce bad been diminished one-halt The exports hal Whit off from eight and uiue hundred thousand pounds a year, to three hundred thousand pounds ; the re venue had been considerably diminished, and they therefore prayed that all grain mad corn might be admitird free into the United Kingdom. Mr. ELLICE said, the case of the Petitioners was entitled to great commiseration. He bad considered that the alter. ation upon the timber duties was necessary, and he voted for it ; but be lamented exceedingly t►at it was the pleasure of Government to continue these restriction, upon the import. ation of corn. He felt a groat interest is the welfare of that country, and be considered some belieSciat measures sects. eery, is order to prevent those disastrous consequences which must ensue in case of a war. Mr. BEN ETT (of Wiltshire) observed, that a treat part of the corn imported from Lower Canada was American, and although be was uu advocate for restrictions of any kind upon trade, yet he was of opinion that that corn should be excluded, Mr. WILMOT observed, that no recent measure of the Legislature had taken place which could occasion this die. tress; it was the effect of the operation of the measure of 1915. He thought that the Petition should be referred to the Agricultural Committee. Mr. RICARDO said, the subjects of Lower Canada la boured under great difficulties, which, lii his optniou, should be removed. They cumplaieed of three dissiuct grievances: The first was, that this country refused to receive their tim ber no the same terms they had formerly ; the second, that restrictions were imposed upon the importation of cora; and the third was, that they were compelled to purchase their commodities in this country. Now with respect to the first of th►se complaints, be thought we had a right to go into any market we chose for our timber; and that was the very reason why the same privilege should be given to them, with respect to other commodities. Sir I. COFFIN said, it would have been well far Great Britain if she bad Canada. That Coluuy was maitre(' at an expense of 500,0001. a-year, and England never profited 500,000 pence by her. Mr WM. SMITH said, it was undoubtedly true that Lower Canada was supported at a rum expense ; but if she were made comfortable with respect to her commercial re. !rotations she would be able to defend 'wall, arid then it would be unneceirsary to support that immense establish. meet which would be requisite ill cane of • war, as was reported. . . . . The Petition was then ordered to be referred to the Agri cultural Committee. EDINBURGH POI.ICE BILL Mr. ABERCRUM RY presented a Petition from the City of Edinburgh and its surrounding districts, praying. that the Edinburgh Police Bill might not pars into a Isw ; and in doing no he wished to correct a mistsirment which had gone abroad, respecting an observation which had fallen from him us a former evening. He was represented to have said, that an application (or redress had been made to the Lord Pro vost, nud that the Petitioners were treated with indignity sod Instill. He wished to take that oceasius of sieving that he made use of that expression. After a few words horn Mr. DUNDAS, the Petition was ordered to be referred to the Committee on the said Rill. CRIMINAL LAW. Mr. LAMBTON presented a Peed ion from erriain Free. bolders in the County of York, praying • 'minim of Hui Criminal Laws.—Ordered to lie on the table. HENRY HUNT. Sir R. WILsoN presented a Petition from a per son of the name of Joesph Healy, iu Lancashire, praying some mitigation of the sentence of Henry Hunt. The Petitioner stated one circumstance. which was important us connected with the ques tion so often discutged in that House, namely. the mode of treatment adopted in Ilchrater gaol. The Petitioner stated that lie was imprisoned for one year iu the Cantle of Liaeolp,aud he was there treated with the humanity which the law contem plated, and which conkrred lasting honour upon the ildagistiates of that town. He had smother Pen tion on the same subject, signed by 2,100 Inhabi tants of Rochdale, in Lancatbire. . Mr. BUXTON said, that hawing on a farmer ocea siou taken 'spars in discussioos upon the subjert of Ilchester Goal, he hoped the House.yould escu.e :him for a few_nionsesiA.ssinte snattn.a. few observations. In the first instance, then, he beg _ gad leave to say, that it appeared to him that at the charges which had been brought forwurd by the Worthy Alderman (Wood) had beet, hilly and clearly substautiated.-4Hear. hear.) A cape had been made out against the gaoler of Ilchester of extreme and flagrant cruelty. The Honour.'W., oetiilentad then en u merated some of the exancjil,i of severity mobilised in the Report of the Cotinow- Stoners. One of the privoners was loaded with irou,, which weighed on him to heavily that it was hypos , aible for him to stand upright. The Ccitionslutou eri very properly had the irons placed on the man, to see the effect they would produce; end they fogad that, even in that short time, they pi/educed such indentures as his neck, as that the conting ence of them must be considered little short of buddy torture. The Hoene had no doubt heard of the one bf the uoforianate woman with her two children. placed in a damp clerk room, without a vessel to Ithliak foam bat a large bucket of water. He considered that one of the most flagrant clove of tyranny he had ever heard of.--(Hear, hear.) He considered the conduct of the gaoler Both as made it the duty of the Government to order him to be prosecuted. He considered all the allege- Wont sufficieotly eetablished, and the House end the country, and all those gentlemen interested in the management of gaols (and lie, Mr. Buxton. amongst them), were under great obligations to the worthy Alderman (Wood) fur hit steady perseve rance, in spite of the obstacles which were thrown in his way by many individuals, and by hone (Mr. Buxton) •roongst other,. And he hoped the mind of the worthy Alderman would be freed from any uneaeitiess lie might feel on account of the state. ments that had been made last Session. He wish ed now to state to the Floose the circumstances in which he stood. He knew it was the general opi nion that, because there was such a discrepancy in the statement he had given of Ilchester gaol, end that of the Commissioners, he (Mr. Buxton) must have been wrong. But he would beg to remind the House that lie had visited that gaol in 1818; the Commasioners had inspected it in 1821, and he was justified, from the very Report of the Com missioners, in stating that all these sisal-practices were carried on to the interim, for the Com missioners stated that they had reason to think these practices had commenced lately. They further stated, these practices had not coin. menced in 1817, but that since then the condition of that gaol was considerably deteriorated. Now the House would perceive that 1817 was but a short time previous to the period lie had the honour of visiting that gaol.—(Hear, hear.)—One word now with respect to Mr. Hunt. It appeared front the opinion of the Judges, that they. had selected Ilchester gaol on account of its superiority ; foe the sentence was, that Mr. Hunt should be imprisoned thirty months in • wholesome and well-regulated gaol. So far, however, from being • well-disciplined gaol. Mr. Hunt suf fered great persecutions, which were clearly art aggravation of the sentence of the law. Out of 600 persons in that gaol. it appeared that 400 Inal been visited with severe sickiires. They had the evidence taken on the inquest held in Ilchester gaol, and it appeared from the verdict of the Jury. that the deceased came by his death from the sac tation of God, but that it it was considerably ac celerated by the cold and damp of the prison. It appeared in evidence, that three was no room for the deceased to sit in, the floor of which was not cover ed with six inches of water ; they had also the evidence of the surgeon, that the death of the de ceased was accelerated by walking in that watet. Mr. Hunt, then, was in that situation, and it was quite clear that the Judges vever intended he should be punished in that manner, and he hoped the House would take the very strong case of Mr. Flout into their rerious consideration. He did not plead for Mr. Hunt from soy private friendship. or from any approbation of his principles or conduct; that had nothing to do with the present question. Be him • good man or the worst man in the em pire, he was entitled to justice, which required that he should suffer no more than the seutence of the law. It was clear, howevar, that he antlgred that which was not contained in the sentence.—(Hear ) Sir THOMAS LETHISHIDGIC mid, if Mr. Hunt suf fered any aggravation of the sentence of the Court, that would afford grounds for something like a re mission of the sentence. He was glee,, however. he find, from the Report of the Counniesioners, that in 1818 there was reneon to believe the practices lately complained of did Hot exist, which welt ma terially to lessen the local responsibility attached to the management of that gaol. Wherever the Wattle was due, there let it fall. He ahem), understood that gaol was conducted in a praiseworthy manner. However, his Hon.

It appeared that when the Huts. Gen. drama (Mr. Buxton) visited that gaol, the inutieg meat of it was praiseworthy, but the very main.,. the accusation was brought against the ruder. the Magistrates gave Mr. Hunt every facility to obtain evidence, both written and oral, to substantiate the charges. Mr. Secretary PzEt. said he was unwilling to remain silent, although he was reluctant to elticr into details. In the first place, he considered the ditcut-ion premature, because 11 motion had been trude and agreed to, to have the evidence taken at llcheste► gaol printed, and lo a very few days airy might expect its production.
