Member the Secretary for the Treasury, whether the writ had been transmitted in the unusual man ner to which he had referred ? To that question the Right Hon. Gentleman had stated that he had written a note to the Postmaster-General, or his Deputy, stating that it was of importance that the writ should be transmitted without delay, but that Right Hon. Gentleman had not stated whe ther it bad been transmitted by the mail or not. With respect to the observations of the Hon. Member for Fins bury, he would only say, if there had been any infraction of the law, it was competent for the House to direct his Ma jesty's Attorney-General to prosecute the party who had infringed it. After a few observations from Sir R. INGLIS, the Clerk of the Crown was ordered to attend at the bar on Toes day, and produce the receipt of the writ at the Post-office. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that although it might not be extremely regular, yet having given repeated notice on the subject, he should propose that the House proceed to the consideration of Poor-laws for I,reland that evening, his Right Hon. Friend (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) hav ing agreed to postpone his financial statement for that purpose. PRESENTS FROM THE KING OF OUDE. Mr. B. HOY then rose, pursuant to notice, to move for copies of the papers relating to certain presents sent to this country for their Majesties by the King of Oude. Lord J. RUSSELL did not wish to interrupt the Hon. Member for making a motion of which he had given no tice ; but he would put it to him, whether it would not be more convenient to allow the public business to proceed ? Mr. BARLOW HOY felt himself bound to proceed with his motion, but in doing so he begged it to be under stood he was not averse to the introduction of the measure, the object of which was to give Poor-laws to Ireland. The Hon. Member stated that the presents were sent from Calcutta under an escort of British troops, and embarked under the sanction of the Governor-General ; and after having arrived in this country, they were sent back in a manner treating the Prince who sent them with con tempt. The mere sending them back was a great contempt, but the contempt was greater when unaccompanied with any explanation. He had no doubt that the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite would clear the matter up, and lay before the House those papers which were necessary for a full explanation of the matter. (Hear, hear.) He believed that the charge of mis-government bad been brought forward by discarded servants, or otherwise dis satisfied persons. The Hon. Gentleman was proceeding into the details of the debt owing Europeans by the King of Oude, when Mr. HUME rose to order. They had come down pre pared to hear arguments for the production of those pa pers ; but when there was such a press of business before them, was it right for the Hon. Member to enter into the whole detail of Lndian Government ? Mr. B. HOY would not trouble the House long, but he must say, that England having received presents from other princes in India, and refused those in question, had offered an insult to this unhappy Prince, whose ancestors had given up the half of their territories to the Indian Government for promised protection. The Hon. Member concluded by moving for the papers of which he had given notice. Colonel SIBTHORP seconded the motion. Lord JOHN RUSSELL deprecated the course taken by the Honourable Member ; and would put it to the House, whether it was convenient to interrupt the proceedings in Committee on the Irish Poor.law Bill, for the purpose of discussing a question relative to the presents from the King of Oude ? Such being the case, he had requested his Right Hon. Friend (Sir J. Hobhouse), not to maße any statements upon the subject. He trusted the House would support, him in his wish to go on with the Irish Poor Law Committee. Mr. B. BOY admitted he was irregular in bringing for ward the motion ; but he begged of the House to recollect he had put off his motion several times at the request of his Majesty's Government. He would not divide the House upon the subject. POOR LAWS (IRELAND). Lord JOHN RUSSELL then moved that the House go into Committee on the Irish Poor-law Bill. Mr. SM ITH O'BRIEN then rose to move the amend ment of which he had given notice, that the Bill might take effect simultaneously in all parts of Ireland. The SPEAKER observed, that unless the Hon. Mem ber had to propose something that could not be moved in Committee, there was no necessity for moving an iustrue tior to the Committee. Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN wished, he said, to hare the ques tion disposed of before they proceeded with the details of the Bill. The SPEAKER remarked there would be great incon venience in adopting the course proposed by the Hon. Member, as it would only impose upon the House the ne cessity of having the same question argued twice —once by the House, and a second time by the Committee. Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN then withdrew his motion. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that he intended to move, that the expenses of the three first years of the ex periment of the Bill in Ireland should be paid out of the Consolidated Fund. The House then went into committee, Mr. BERNAL in the Chair. The 21st, 22d, and 23d clauses wore agrced to. Upon the 24th clause, enacting the appointment of ex officio guardians, being proposed, Mr. LYNCH objected to the clause. He was opposed to magistrates being made ex-officio guardians. Clergy men were exempted, and he saw no reason why magistrates should be included. He knew that the introduction of such a clause would tend materially to injure the operation of the Bill. He proposed, as we understood, to strike out the clause. Lord MORPETH considered that it would be a very ungenerous act to exclude the whole of the magistrates. He did not think that it would tend to harmony, or to the efficient working of the Bill, to exclude the whole body of the magistrates. Mr. O'CONNELL thought that it would be wrong to exclude the magistrates ; but it was a different thing to make them eligible. If they were elected, they should not lee excluded from acting. The Noble Lord seemed to think that the magistrates would only elect the best members of their body to be guardians. • What he was afraid of was, that the election would go in the contrary direction. He did not wish to make any accusation against the magistrates. They had been already spoken of by others in that House, and the opinions of Lord Redesdale and Lord Manners were recorded against them.—(Hear.) They ought to recollect that they were now making a new law, and if any feeling of partisanship were to come into the operation of the law, it would prove, instead of a benefit, a great curse to Ireland.—(Hear, and cheers.) He begged to assure the Noble Lord, that with such a clause as the present, the Bill never would be accepted as a boon in Ireland. The election would be thrown into the hands of the magistrates, and worse hands it could not be placed in. After a few words from Mr. J. GRATTAN and Mr. CHAPMAN, Sir ROBERT PEEL said he had no feeling upon this subject except that of making it an effectual measure. He thought that it would be very valuable to have the magis trates ex-cfficio guardians. Mr. S. CRAWFORD objected to the appointment of ex-officio guardians. Mr. HUME considered that those who paid the rates :should alone have the privilege of choosing those who were to have the control and management of them. _• m r . .JEPHSON did not understand the meaning of Irish Centlemen in that House attacking the characters of Irish m egistrates. He did not deny that party feelings influenced magistrates; but no persons could act more fairly the 6n the Irish magistrates. The effect of the clause, he belies , -ed, would be to bring them into kindly contact with the people. Mr. 0 'TONNELL observed that the defender of the Irish ma: 3istrates admitted that they were under party in fluences, —(Cheers.) Could anything be more horrible than sue h a magistracy ?—(Hear, hear.) If magistrates were goo al. men they would be sure to be elected by the people.— -(Hear.) In his opinion it was better to have the Board of Guardians elected by the people, and not to have any ex-o . bcio guardians at all. His conviction was, that if they 1134 ix magistrates ex-officio guardians they would do a great deal of mischief with their Bill. Lord JOHN RUSSELL observed that it was stated by the 1 t.loot. and Learned Member for Kilkenny that in case ma / fist rates were approved of by the people they would be elect ed. He did not think that this would follow as a necessar y consequence, for there might be prejudices against them as magistrates. The constant meeting of magistrates would, lie hoped, do away with all such feelings, if they existed. He could not give up as hopeless the chance of producit ig a good feeling between those elected by the rate-pay ers and the magistrates. Mr. S ;ergeant JACKSON declared that it would not be easy to i kid a more excellent body of men than the Irish aagistrat :es. The magistrates of Ireland were us little su, t c the imputation of being influenced by party kelt body possibly could be. He consid ere d that .ng as of men 't tivot t !d have a most salutary effect to have the ma gistrat 'es as ring with the rate-payers. Lord CI iEMENTS stated that he should have no ob jection to e x (fficio guardians if the unions were of a mo derate s i2d,..;• but if the districts were to be very large, the magistra t % silo could move about rapidly, would have a great ad v e a, stage over the rate-payers. If ex-officio guar dians w e re appointed , their po wers ought to be limited, and they me ;ht not to be permitted to vote for officers. l Mr. As s S.;. O'BRIEN considered that the appointment .4 4 of taagi s t,,satess as exvii cio guardians could do no harm to the worl 1; pi . THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY, MAY 27, 1837. The Committee then divided— For the clause • 6l For the amendment Majority for the clause —33 On our return to the gallery, we found Mr. O'CONNELL moving another amendment, to the effect that the number of ex-officio guardians should be one-sixth, instead of one-third of the whole number. Lord MORPETH saw no good reason for the altera tion proposed but he had no objection to make the number one-fourth instead of one-third. Mr. O'CONNELL said that the reason for diminishing the number of ex officio guardians was that they would thereby extend still further the elective principle. The Committee then divided, when the numbers were, For the amendment 23 Against it 5B Majority On our return to the gallery we found Mr. HINDLEY moving an amendment on the same clause, to the effect that the rate-payers should elect the member of Magistrates which, by the Act, were to be Members of the Board of Gurdians. Lord J. RUSSELL said he was very sorry that he could not agree to the alteration proposed. He thought that the Magistracy ought to be allowed to select out of their own body such of themselves as they thought best fitted to perform the duties of Members of the Board of Guardians. Mr. HUME submitted to the Noble Lord whether he would not reconsider what he had stated. He was sure that the Noble Lord must be anxious to make this Bill popular, and he (Mr. Hume) was quite sure that that ob ject would not be answered by the rejection of this amend ment. Mr. Sergeant WOULFE supported the clause. Mr. O'CONNELL said he had but little hope of this Bill working well ; but it was impossible that it could work well if they allowed the Magistrates to become members of the Board of Guardians, unless with the qualification pro posed by this amendment. After a few words from Mr. LYNCH, which were inau dible in the gallery, Lord MORPETH said he hoped that this Bill would prove popular and work well, but he did not think that popularity should be the only consideration.—(Hear.) They had not this consideration only in view when they introduced the English Poor-law Amendment Act.—(Hear.) There was in that Act a corresponding provision to the present, the only difference being, that whereas in England all Justices of the Peace might be members of the Board of Guardians, they proposed that for Ireland a certain number of the Magistracy only should be elected from the Board of Guardians. He thought that the Magistrates were themselves the best judges of the persons who were best qualified to represent them, and he must therefore oppose the amendment. After a few words from Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN, Mr. JEPHSON said he would oppose the amendment, as he thought tient the effect of it would be to do away with e.r-qtficio guardians altogether. After a few words front Mr. HAMILTON and Mr. M. L. CHAPMAN, the Committee divided, when the num bers were— For the amendment 32 Against it 5O Majority Mr. O'CONNELL proposed that the appointment of magistrates to the office of guardians should be in the Lord Chancellor. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON and Lord MORPETH op posed the Amendment, which was negatived without a di- vision. Mr. O'CONNELL then proposed to add to the clause a proviso to the effect that no more magistrates should vote at any meeting than in the proportion of one-fourth of the whole meeting. Mr. WOULFE thought that it would be injudicious to restrain Magistrates from the assiduous performance of their duty. _ Mr. MACLEAN remarked that it was frequently the case in England that the Magistrates were the only Mem bers of the Board of Guardians who attended to the busi ness of the day. Mr. O'CONNELL said it was quite true that in Eng bland the Magistrates did the whole of this business ; and this was what he wished to avoid in Ireland. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON said that if the same tendency should manifest itself in Ireland, the public business, under the proviso of the Hon. and Learned Member for Kilkenny, would be effectually stopped. The proviso was then withdrawn, and the clause agreed to. On clause 26 being proposed, Mr. SHARMAN CRA WFORD objected to the arbi trary power proposed to be given to the Commissioners of appointing guardians under certain circumstances. He moved the omission of this passage from the 12th to the 32d line of the clause. Sir R. FERGUSON objected also to the power given in the two previous lines, of removing the guardians, if they did not act with due diligence in obedience to the orders of the Commissioners. Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN concurred in this objection. Mr. O'CONNELL thought the jealousy of the Com missioners was a very unfounded one. This clause would give the means of correcting many of the evils of the former clause. The question was, whether the Commissioners were to have an efficacious and controlling power over the guardians ; if so, the words were essentially necessary. Mr. HI NDLEY remarked that this provision only re lated to the elected guardians, and not to those who were so ex officio. Mr. O'CONNELL pointed out that the clause men tioned " the guardians" generally. Lord MORPETH said that unless some power of this kind were given to the Commissioners, they might run the risk of having the whole system stopped for want of efficient means of carrying it on. After a conversation, in which Mr. Finn, Sir R. Fer guson, Lord Clements, Mr. Lynch, and Mr. Sergeant Jackson took part, the gallery was cleared for a division. For the amendment 2l Against it 6B Majority On the gallery being re-opened, it was understood that Mr. Sergeant Jackson had moved another amendment on the same clause of nearly the same nature, when the Corn mittee divided— For the amendment... Against it 23 63 Majority —4o The clause was then agreed to. On clause 27 being put, which gave power to the Com missioners to appoint paid officers, Lord CLEMENTS moved an additional clause, to duo effect that the Commissioners should have the power to order the expenses for travelling and attendance incurred by the Guardians to be paid out of the rates, provided there were not more than fifty-two attendances in the year, at the rate of 3s. each. Mr. LUCAS opposed the amendment. Mr. O'CONNELL was in favour of the clause, and trusted it would be agreed to. Lord JOHN RUSSELL was opposed to it, because he considered it highly objectionable to have a body of paid guardians. The amendment was then negatived without a division. Mr. W. S. O'BRIEN objected to giving the Commis sioners the power of appointing paid officers, and moved that the clause be omitted. Lord MORPETH trusted the Hon. Member would not persist in his motion, as the power thus to be delegated to the Commissioners would be exercised only in cased of urgent necessity. The clause was eventually agreed to. To the 28th clause Mr. O'CONNELL moved, as an amendment, to expunge the words prohibiting the Clergy from attending the meetings of the Board of Guardians, and to insert words allowing all persons in holy orders, re sident in the district, to attend, and to take part in the discussions, but not to vote. This amendment was opposed by Lord J. RUSSELL and Mr. WOULFE, on the ground that, although in most cases the Boards of Guardians would gladly avail themselves of the local information which the Clergy had it in their power to communicate, it might be attended with inconvenience to give the Clergy an absolute right to be present. Mr. O'CONNELL maintained that the presence of no persons at the meetings of the Boards of Guardians could be so useful as that of the Clergy of all persuasions. The manner in which the Bill was drawn up threw a stain upon them. It was well known that in all matters of charity, the Clergy of Ireland, however they might differ on reli gious points, acted with perfect fairness and unanimity. However, he would not press his amendment to a division at present ; but he gave notice that at some future period he would move to expunge the words of which he complained. The clause was then agreed to. Clauses 29 to 31 were agreed to. On the 32d clause being put, Sir ROBERT FERGUSON moved as an amendment, to omit the words " surveying and valuation of property to be rated." He proposed this amendment because an im mense expense had been incurred in making a survey and valuation by the Ordnance, and lie could not see why this expense should be incurred under the operation of this Act. Lord Viscount MORPETH admitted it would be bet ter to abide by the Ordnance survey now going on, but as it was not completed it might be necessary to effect it under this Act. Mr. Sergeant WOULFE said there was no compulsion to make the Commissioners undertake this survey and valua tion unless it were really necessary. After some further conversation, . Sir ROBERT FERGUSON withdrew his amendment, saying he would bring the matter forward on the next fa vourable occasion, The clause was agreed to, as were 33 and 34. In the 35th clause Mr. HAMILTON proposed as an amendment to insert words to the effect—" Provided al ways that nothing in this Act contained shall be construed to extend to exercise any control over the Governors of the Foundling Hospital of Dublin, or over the management thereof." Mr. O'CONNELL thought the case of the House of Industry was one of a peculiar nature, and afforded proof of this wholesale legislation. That institution received 20,0001. a-year ; this would be taken away and be placed in hands •f Commissioners, for which the Dublin people would be taxed. Mr. Sergeant JACKSON having said a few words, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had hoped that all parties had agreed to the principle of putting down the Foundling Hospitals ; but as to Houses of Industry, the permanent support of these places was from the public. Mr. RICHARDS differed from those gentlemen who thought that the application of Poor-laws to Ireland would have the effect of drying up the sources of pri vate charity in that country. Poor-laws had had no such effect in England. Mr. O'CONNELL had the best authority for stating that the mere anticipation of the introduction of Poor laws into Ireland had already had the effect of materially diminishing the funds of the Mendicity Society in Dublin. After some further discussion the amendment was with drawn and the clause agreed to. Mr. O'CONNELL then moved that the Chairman re port progress, and ask leave to sit again on Thursday next. Mr. BARRON thought that they might with great pro priety go on for another hour. - The question, however, being put, was agreed to without a division, and the House resumed. THE PRISON DISCIPLINE (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion of Mr. FOX MAULE, the Bill was read a second time, and was referred to a Select Committee. THE BUDGET. Mr. BORTH WICK asked the Right Hon. Gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he could give any idea as to the time when the financial statement for the year would be brought forward? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that it would necessarily depend on the progress of the bu siness before the House. The other Orders of the Day were then disposed of, and the House was counted out, on the motion of Mr. Baines, at a Quarter-past Twelve. REGISTRATION OF DEATHS. We, the undersigned, president of the Royal College of Physicians, president of the Royal College of Surgeons, and master of the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries, having authority from the several bodies whom we represent, do resolve to fulfil the the intentions of the Legislature in pro curing a better registration of the cause of death being convinced that such an improved registration cannot fail to lead to a more accurate statistical account of the prevalence of particular diseasos, from time to time. We pledge ourselves, therefore, to give, in every instance which may fall under our care, an authentic name of the fatal disease. And we entreat all authorized practitioners throughout the country to follow our example, and adopt the same practice, and so assist in establishing a better registration, in future, throughout England ; for which purpose we in vite them to attend to the subjoined explanatory statement, in which they will see set forth the provisions of the recent statute, and the means whereby the important object we have recommended, may most effectually he attained. (Signed) HENRY HALFORD, President of the Royal College of Physicians. (Signed) ASTLEY COOPER, President of the Royal College of Surgeons, (Signed) J. HINGESTON, May, 1, 1837. Master of the Society of Apothecaries. EXPLANATORY STATEMENT. The recent Act for registering births, deaths, and mar riages in England, presents an opportunity for obtaining that great desideratum in medical statistics a more exact statement of the causes of death, in the case of every regis tered death throughout the whole of England and Wales, after the month of June next ensuing. The register-books in which all deaths are to be regis tered after the last day of June, 1837, contain columns wherein may be inserted the cause of death, in juxta-posi tion with those other important illustrative circumstances, the sex, the age, and the profession or calling of the de ceased person. Each register-book will also be assigned to a particular district of small extent, and will thus show in what part of the kingdom each death has occurred. If, therefore, the cause of death be correctly inserted, there will exist thenceforward public documents, from whence may be derived a more accurate knowledge, not only of the comparative prevalence of various mortalsliseases, as re• gards the whole of England and Wales, but also of the lo calities in which they respectively prevail, and the sex, age, and condition of life, which each principally affects. For the attainment of this object, it is n ecessar y t o ea sure, as far as it is possible, the correct insertion of the " cause of death." It is obvious, that on this subject, the requisite information can seldom be given to the registrar, except by the medical attendant of the deceased person, and that even if the registrar be a medical practitioner (which, in many instances will be the case), yet he will often be unable to ascertain the truth in this respect, if he is to depend solely on the reports of persons ignorant of medicine, and of the names and nature 'of diseases ; and it cannot be ex pected that from his own knowledge he will be able so far to correct their errors, as to ensure a statement worthy of credit. The requisite information must therefore be sup plied either directly or indirectly by the medical attendant of the deceased person ;—that is to say, if such medical attendant is not applied to by the Registrar, he must afford the requisite information to those other persons to whom the Registrar must apply. The persons who according to the Act for registering births, deaths, and marriages in England, must give informa tion to the Registrar on being requested so to do, are some person present at the death, or in attendance during the last illness," or " in case of the death, illness, inability or default of all such persons, the occupier of the house or te nement, or, if the occupier be the person who shall have died, some inmate of the house or tenement in which such death shall have happened." It is also provided that " for the purposes of this Act, the master or keeper of every gaol, prison, or house of correction, or workhouse, hospital, or lunatic asylum, or public or charitable institution, shall be deemed the occupier thereof." It is, therefore, recommended that every practising mem ber of any branch of the medical profession who may have been present at the death, or in attendance during the last illness of any person, shall, immediately after such death, place in the hands of such other persons as were in attend ance, of the occupier of the house in which the death oc curred, and of some inmate who may probably be required to give information, written statements of the cause of death, which such persons may show to the Registrar, and give as their information on that subject. It is desirable that such statement should be very short, the column in the register-book in which it is to be inserted being not more than sufficient for the insertion of about ten words of moderate length. It should, therefore, contain only the name of the disease which was considered to be the cause of death, and not a detailed account either of ante cedent symptoms, or of the appearances which may have presented themselves after death. It is also desirable that such statement should exhibit the popular or common name of the disease, in preference to such as is known only to medical men, whenever the popular narne will denote the cause of death'with sufficient precision. THE EARL OF ROMNEY'S GRAND FETE, MOTE PA RIC. —Thursday morning was a day of unprece dented festivity here, from the celebration of the Princess Victoria's birth-day at Maidstone, and the entertainment of the East and West Kent Yeomanry Cavalry regiments at dinner by the Earl of Romney, at the oast house, which had been fitted up in a style of great splendour for the occasion. An excellent cold collation, consisting of a profusion of ve nison, cold roast and boiled beef, boiled fowls, hams, tongues, &c., were served up with wines of every description in abun dance. Nearly seven hundred persons sat down. The as sembly rose about six o'clock, highly gratified with the hos pitolity of the Noble Earl. After the noble guests and yeo men had left the oast house, the poor men, their wives and children, on his Lordship's estate, were admitted, and allowed to partake of the remains, a great deal of which was uncut, and had an abundant supply of fine old Kentish ale served up to them. The grand ball at the Assembly Rooms, given by the Earl of Winchilsea, Earl Brecknock, and the other offi cers of this distinguished brigade, in the evening, was attended by the whole of the families of distinction in the county. The whole of the officers appeared in their splendid uniforms, and the dresses of the ladies were of an elegant description. There were upwards of three hundred fashionables present. The Winner of the Derby is the property of Lord Berners, the veteran father of the turf, formerly well known as the sporting Col. Wilson. His Lordship is in his 78th year, and enjoys excellent health, attending all the meetings at New market, Epsom, Ascot, and Doncaster with as much zeal and activity as in his youthful days. Robinson, who rode Rat -trap, the favourite for the Derby, had been injured by a fall lately at Newmarket ; not that this appears to have affected the result of the race; as the horse evidently, when put to the test, fell into difficulty, which no exertions of the rider could by any possibility surmount. It appears from tile Courrier Francais that as soon as it was known that the railroad from Paris to the Belgium frontiers would pass through Amiens, the Chamber of Com merce of Amiens had a a meeting to solicit the Government fur a branch railroad to Bologne, to facilitate the communica t i on with England. The Municipal Council of Havre has also no minated a committee, for the purpose of presenting an address to the Minister of Commerce, praying for the continuation of the railroad from Paris to Rouen as far as Havre, COURT CIRCULAR.
