Majctity SECOND DAY Sir E. Barnes J. Bagsbaw, Esq A double return. 263 263 SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Six o'clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, THIS EVENING. HOUSE OF COMMONS. COERCION BILL. (Continued from our First Edition. ) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the construction which had been put upon the clause was, that the party would be justified in transgressing the law, if he was acting Long fide, under the provisions of the present Bill. That certainly was not the intention of the Legislature. It was only where the constable or soldier had a resonable ground for supposing that he was justified in Lis proceedings, that the protection of the Act was extended to him. Colonel PE RC E VAL vindicated the statement he had sub mitted to the House last night, relative to the conduct of Mr. Lyons, the magistrate of Limerick, who had institued the prosecution against the two policemen. He should certainly feel it his duty to give notice of a motion for an inquiry into the subject. Mr. O'CONNELL said if the Hon. and Gallant Member did not, that he (Mr. O'C.) would. Sergeant PERRIN objected to the clause. He thought it conferred a species of impunity upon all persons concerned in carrying the Act into effect,which should not be extended to them. It was of course provided that in any case where an offence was committed by any constable or soldier, a prosecution might be instituted under the warrant of the Attorney-General, but that was, in his ( Sergeant P.'s) opinion, no protection what ever. If there was one thing more objectionuble than another to the great bulk of the population of Ireland, it was the manner in which Crown prosecutions were conducted in that country.----(" Hear, hear," from some of the Irish Members.) Lord ALTHORP contended, that in a case like that under consideration, they could not proceed upon strictly constitu tional principles. The protection which the clause extended to the military was not to embrace the whole country, but would only extend to the proclaimed district in which the usual legislative enactments were found inefficient. It would be impossible to carry the Act into effectual operation if sueh a protection was not extended to those appointed by the legis lature for that purpose Mr. LYNCH maintained that the extension of such an in demnity to the military and civil power was most uncalled for and unconstitutional. After a few words from Mr. TANCRED and Mr. O'REILLY, Mr. SHAW said that it was well known that the opinions of the Cabinet had not undergone any change upon the subject the Coercion Bill, but had resorted to a mean polocy, for the purpose of chiming in with the views of the Hon. Member for Dublin. How could such Government expect the support of any honest or independent Member of that House ? They were visiting the poor with all the terrors of the law, while they left to the prime agitators and disturbers all the pleasures and profits of the agitation they had set on foot in Ireland. He denied that he (Mr. S.) or those who acted with him were op posed to the Bill, because it was not severe enough. The Right Hon. Secretary, it was evident, knew little of Ireland, for had he consulted any person high or low, who knew anything of that country, he would know that there was nothing so mean and despicable as that which was nick-named the Go. vernment of Ireland.—( Hear, and a laugh.) He did not mean the Lord Lieutenant, for he was but the servant of the Government—(Hear)—and it was well known that his opi nions had been set at naught, for the purpose of gaining over the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin.—( Hear.) The Right Hon. Secretary reminded him of the saying that " the greatest happiness consisted in being well deceived."--( Laugh ter.) He thought that he had out-manoeuvred the Hon. and Learned Member for Dublin; but the fact was that Right Hon. Gent. had been completely out-manoeuvred that Hon. Gent., as would appear by the exposure of the intrigues by which Lord Grey had been thrown out of office.—( Hear, hear. ) Mr. L YTTL ETON said that the Hon. and Learned Gen tleman had acted, as he was in the habit of doing, once or twice, in a session where perhaps he might be better em ployed in attending to the duties of his office in Ireland,— ( Hear, hear.) He had given the House a rechauffe of the outpourings of his political inspirations at a Sheriff's dinner. (Cheers and laughter.) The Hon. and Learned Member might possibly be deserving of the eulogy which he had passed upon himself in his judicial capacity, but he:( Mr. L. ) must say that it would be well if the Hon. and Learned Gentleman would carry a little of that spirit of im partiality and evenness of temper into his conduct and obser vations elsewhere.—( Hear, hear.) If the Hon. and Learned Member thought that he could hurt the feelings of others by the violent and intemperate language in which he h a d in dulged, he (Mr. L.) must tell him that such language and such conduct would excite nothing but his contempt. The Right Hon. Gentleman spoke with much warmth and vehe mence, and on sitting down was loudly cheered. Mr. C. FE RG U SON defended the conduct of the Lord Lieutenant and the Irish Government from the aspersions of the Hon. and Learned Recorder. It was most unfair to at tribute to the Marquis Wellesley the meanness of handing over the Government of Ireland to the conduct of others. He (Mr. Ferguson) had voted against the courtmartial clauses, but he thought that the Bill as it at present stood was calcu lated to preserve the peace of Ireland, and should be hailed as a boon by the friends of peace in Ireland.—( Hear.) It would have been as well if the Hon. and Learned Recorder, instead of abusing the Government for a change of opinion, had ap plied himself to the real question before the House.—( Hear.) Mr. O'DWYER thought so much of the opinions of the Hon. and Learned Member for the University, that he carried a copy of them about him, and he held in his hand a report of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's observations at a Sheriff's dinner in Dublin.—( The reading of the extracts excited much laughter in the House.) He appealed to the House if that was not the language of a violent political agitator, and these sentiments were much more mischievous when coming from a judicial character.—( Hear.) He could tell the Hon. and Learned Gentleman that the party with which he was connected were a miserable and degraded faction, compared with the great mass of the people in Ireland.—( Hear.) The House then divided, when the numbers were_ For the clauses 24 Against them 69 Majority against the clauses —4s On the question that the Bill do pass— Mr. H. GR ATT A N said he could not allow it to pass that stage without entering his protest against it as most unconsti tutional, and perfectly unnecessary. Mr. O'R E ILL Y must also protest against the Bill, but as he had some little confidence in the Government, he would abstain from using that language which otherwise he would have felt it his duty to do. Agrarian disturbances could be put down by the existing laws, and if not, Coercion Bills would not do it ; it could only be done by the removal of the grievances which pressed upon Ireland. Mr. O'CONNELL was obliged to oppose the motion; he was pledged to support a part of the Bill, and he would most gladly give his support to a permanent provision to put down agrarian disturbances, but he could not support it altogether. He, however, was thankful to Government for the Bill, because they declared that these prwdial disturbances were not caused by political agitation. For three hundred years Ireland had been governed by faction and violence, and now she was as disturbed as at the beginning of the experiment. Then why not try the other system. Coercion could not break her, she was too strong ; but she would be found as tractable as she was strong.. Lord ALTHORP denied that the Government admitted that political agitation had no connection with the distur bances, though there was no doubt the effects of that con nection had been much exaggerated. After a few words from Mr. Shiel, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. H. Grattan, and Lord Althorp, The House divided, when the numbers were, For the passing of the Bill Against it Alajority The House then resolved itself into a Committee of the whole House upon the Assessad Taxes. Mr. BERNAL in the Chair. The House then resumed, and Mr. BERNAL as Chairman of the Committee presented the Resolution of the Committee, that leave be given to bring in a Bill for repealing the As sessed Taxes in certain cases. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of the whole House upon the Stamp Acts, and leave was given to bring in a Bill to repeal the stamp upon almanacks. The order of the day for the House resolving itself into a Committee of the whole House upon the Excise duties, was then postponed to Monday next. The report of the Committee upon Ecclesiastical Commis sions was then brought up and read. MURDER OF MR. BOYD. Mr. O'DWYER regretted that some steps had not been taken relative to the murder of Mr. Boyd. Lord PALMERSTON said that the opinion of the Law Officers of the Crown was, that General Moreno was not amenable to any judicial tribunal in this country. Mr. S. RICE obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the establishment of criminal courts at Norfolk Island. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at a quarter past five till Monday. HOUSE OF LORDS. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his .seat upon the Woolsack shortly before 4 o'clock. Dingle and Lapworth, two of the individuals against whom proclamations had been issued, in consequence of their not appearing when summoned at the Bar of the House, to be ex amined with respect to this Bill, were brought to the Bar in custody, and after being closely questioned by the Lord Chan cellor as to the cause of their absenting themselves, and their stating that they had not kept out of the way to elude the process of the House, they were ordered to retire from the Bar. The Earl of SHAFTE SBUR Y then presented a petition from them, praying they might be discharged without the pay ment of fees. This the form of the House would not allow ; but- The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, that the House, believing their statements, both at the bar and in their petit tions, would order them to be discharged upon the payment of their fees, and upon their undertaking to appear to give evidence on the Warwick Borough 13ill whenever :they were called upon. Their Lordship at the same time stated that the further consideration of the Bill would be proceeded with on Tuesday next, at ten o'clock in the morning. No further business was done, but the House was not ad journed in consequence of having to wait for the introduction of the Irish Coercion Bill, the discussion of which was not concluded till five o'clock ; shortly after that hour Mr. Chas. Wood, accompanied by several other Members of the House of Commons, brought up the Irish Coercion Bill, the News paper Postage Bill, the Lancaster Court of Common Pleas Bill, the Passage Court Bill, and several private Bills, all of which were read a first time. COERCION BILL. On the motion of Lord MELBOURNE. this Bill was read a first time.—Ordered to be printed, and read a second time on Monday. The House than adjourned to Monday, at half-past eleven o'clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF LORDS, July 25. FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC POLICY. The Earl of WINCHIL SE A addressed their Lordships, but in consequence of the Noble Lord dropping his voice at the conclusion of his sentences, scarcely a single one that was perfect reached us. We understood him to say, that he would take this opportunity of addressing a few observations to the Noble Lords opposite, and of shortly putting questions to them, with the view of getting a clear and distinct statement as to the principles on which his Majesty's Ministers intended to pro ceed with respect to our foreign and domestic policy. When he looked to the situation in which the country now stood, he would say, with reference to the measure of reform in Parliament, that there never was a period of the country when the passing of such a measure was calculated to be more injurious, or when it were less called for by the state of the country. Allusions had been made to him, and his friends having been actuated by party motives in their opposition to some of the measures which had been introduced by the Noble Lords opposite ; but he must take this opportunity of stating, that such charges were, in his opinion, never more unjustly founded. For himself, he could put his hand on his heart and say that he had never given a vote in a bond of union, that could be characterised as a systematic union formed for mere party purposes. He thought himself bound to make this reply to an allusion that had been made by the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack. He could assure that Noble and Learned Lord, that however much he differed from the principles of the Noble Lords on the opposite benches in op posing their measures, he had not been actuated by party feel ing : his votes had been entirely the result of his conscientious desire to discharge his duty to the best of Isis ability for the advantage of the country. He felt that this country was standing in a situation of danger, which, if it ever was equalled, was never supassed ; and he certainly wished not to increase the diffi culties. The balance of power had been completely destroyed. As regarded our foreign policy, he would ask, could any man look at that without great apprehensions ? He need only refer to the course we had pursued towards Spain and Portugal. In Portugal he would maintain, whatever the present appearances to the contrary, the contest was only suspended. It would be renewed whenever the legitimate owner of that Throne, from which he had been driven, re-appeared. Holland was only waiting an opportunity to resent the insults offered to her by this country. Then they were told that as a consequence of the policy of his Majesty's Ministers, there existed a firm bond of union between this country and France. He begged to ask whether we had entered into any compact with France by which we had bound ourselves to interfere in the affairs of Spain ? He had read in the newspapers that some vessels sent out with arms in the service of Don Carlos had been stopped ; he wished to ask whether this was the case ? And if we had entered into such a compact with France as he had alluded to, pledging us to maintain the rights of the Regent of Spain, it was most important that the country should know whether, by that compact, we were bound to the extent of going to war in support of those rights should an occasion arise? He called upon the Noble Viscount to say whether he was determined to uphold the institutions of Church and State in despite of any clamour which might be raised against them; and whether in particular he was determined not to sanction the spoliation of the property of the Irish Church. The Noble Earl concluded with repeating some of his observations with respect to the non-interference system, which he contended Government ought rigidly to have acted upon. Viscount MELBOURNE said, that independently of the inopportuneness of the occasions elected by the Noble Earl, he should have some difficulty in answering him, for although he had set out with saying that he was only going to put two short questions, he had occupied half an hour in general repro bation of Government, without putting any definite question at last. The Noble Earl appeared to think that the new Govern ment, as he now called it, should give an exposition of its opinions on the various points of foreign and domestic policy, and an intimation as to what they intended to do ; the Noble Earl did not seem to call to mind the peculiar formation of this Government—which, in point of fact, was not a new, but merely a re-constructed one—and that all the members of it had before been in office together. And this fact would suffi ciently guarantee that the great objects which the late Cabinet had in view would be followed up with certainly not less zeal by the Administration as now constituted. That Government had now been in existence for more than three years, and in that space of time had regulated their conduct with the most anxious de sire to keep the nation in peace, and to promote prosperity in every possible way, and the present Cabinet would not be found wanting in the warmest zeal and exertion to follow out the good work to its fullest extent. No act, whether relating to foreign or domestic policy, had been determined upon with out the closest and most disinterested attention to the circum stances of the case, and he believed that it would not be de nied by unprejudiced persons, that their policy, both foreign and domestic, had been attended with results most beneficial to the nation.—( Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord said that in sinuations had been thrown out by Noblemen on the Ministe rial nide of the House, that Nobleman on the other side of the House had opposed Ministers merely from factious motives ; he (Lord Melbourne) was not aware that such insinuations had been thrown out ; he could simply say for himself, that he had never cast such imputations on any Noble Lord. The Noble Earl had taken credit to himself for the courtesy he said he had shown in giving notice of his intention to bring forward this question. The motion was not in itself very re gular ; but, independently of that, it was so vague and indefi nite, that Ministers would have been very little the more pre pared with their defence, if such were necessary, against the accusations to be made by the Noble Lord, for he had omitted to describe in what peculiar part of their policy he meant to assault them ; whether it were to be as to their continental policy, financial policy, ecclesiastical policy, or whatever it might be. As to the continental policy pursued by Govern ment, it had been adopted from a well-considered and sincere desire to maintain the peace of Europe. No one denied that non-interference should be the system pursued by this country as a general rule, but cases sometimes occurred which rendered a departure from this rule indispensable. With reference to domestic policy, he should think it his duty, while upholding the institutions of the State to carry into effect such real and practical reformation as were necessary and called for, and sanctioned by the majority of the well-regulated and respectable part of the community. If the Nobl• Earl wished to have any in formation on any particular point, let him move for it in the regular way, and it should be given ; if he wished to pass a vote of censure on Ministers, let him submit it in the usual form, and Ministers would defend themselves as well as they could. If the Noble Lord wished to propose any plan of his own, let him do so in a specific way, and Ministers would give their best attention to it. The Earl of WINCHIL SE A said, that neither he nor the country would be satisfied with the Noble Viscount's explana tion. It was absurd to say the present was not a new Ministry, for it had been expressly stated in both Houses, the other day, that " Lord Grey's Government was at an end, and a new one in course of formation." The Earl of RADNOR rose to order. The Noble Earl had set out with saying he only wished to put a question or two ; he had put two questions in a very lengthy speech, and had gained his answer ; yet he had now got up again to ad dress the House on the same subject, though a subject of very great importance was waiting the consideration of their Lordships. The Marquis of LOND 0 NDE RRY wished to ask whether it was by the Noble Viscount's orders that certain vessels which had been armed, and were about to be forwarded to Spain, had been arrested ? Viscount MELBOURNE said, as we understood, that he did not know, as a matter of fact, that the circumstance men tioned by the Noble Marquis had really occurred. POOR LAWS AMENDMENT BILL. The House then went into Committee on the Bill. Clauses 20, 21, 22, 23, and 24 were agreed to, with a few verbal amendments. On clause 25 being proposed, Lord KENYON objected to the arbitrary power given to the Commissioners, of consolidating parishes, as there were many cases in which there were parishes well regulated, and with a small amount of poor-rate, and it would be a hard case for such a parish to be mixed up with a parish where the rates The LORD CHANCELLOR was not surprised that the Noble Baron who had expressed himself as opposed to the fundamental principle of the Bill, should propose this amend ment, as he called it. It was, however, anything but an amendment, for it would have the effect of crippling the Bill in one of its most material features, and, in a great measure, of preventing that change, by which it was intended to re turn to the old and salutary system, which taught every man to depend on his own industry—on his own resources—to despise and hate as much to be a pauper at all as to be a pauper receiving relief in a workhouse.—( Hear, hear.) It was generally found, as appeared by the report, that when a man said he could not find work, the reason was, he had not made the experiment ; for it was almost invariably found, that after being in the workhouse a little time, labourers got out, and contrived to find work elsewhere. This was the effect of the workhouse system, which was the best feature in the Bill, for it tended to restore to the lower classes that na tural tone of which the mal-administration of these laws had almost divested them. The system had been tried in several places on a small scale with the happiest effect. Lord FALMOUTH supported the amendment. The Earl of RADNOIt said that it was absurd to suppose the Commissioners would go into the country for the mere purpose of annoying and injuring one parish by joining it to another. There was no reason to suppose but that they would exercise their judgment in an impartial and proper manner. Lord FALMOUTH had no doubt they would. What he objected to was the principle. The Earl of WINCHIL SE A supported the clause, and was rather surprised that the Noble Baron should oppose it, considering how nearly he was connected with an extensive parish (Mary-la-bonne), in which the system of setting pau pers hard to work and giving them necessaries instead of money, had reduced a body of paupers demanding relief in one week from 900 to 50. Lord WYNFO RD said he had no objection to the union of parishes, provided the parishes wished it, but their consent he considered indispensable, for it would be too bad to mix up a well-conducted and consequently prosperous parish, with an ill-conducted one. He was ready to admit that the system of a union of parishes for the purpose of having one workhouse among them, would be cheap ; but many a thing was cheap which, so far from being desirable or proper, was most inju rious to the country. And he was satisfied that great evil would result from the intermixture of so many paupers together. There could be no question that a great contamination of each other's morals would be the consequence. Paupers ought not to be so far removed from their friends as that they should not be able to visit them. The workhouses under the proposed Bill would in fact be several county prisons, in which paupers would be separated from their friends. He thought that it ought to be left to the paupers themselves, provided they received the concurrence of the Magistrates, either to go to the workhouse, or to eat their meals at their own houses, or in the open air. That was the practice under-the old law. The LORD CHANCELLOR—No, no. Lord WYNFORD—Yes, yes. The Duke of BUCKINGHAM here read an extract from an Act of Parliament, confirming the statements of Lord Wynford. Lord W YNFO RD—I was perfectly certain that I was right. Several Noble Lords asked the Duke of Buckingham from what Act of Parliament he read the extract relative to the power of magistrates to afford relief to paupers at their own dwelling ? The Duke of BUCKINGHAM—From the 2d of Geo. the Second. Lord W YNFORD resumed—He thought that if the Com missioners were to have the power to unite parishes, they ought also to have the power to dissolve such union when it was proved to be injurious. He repeated that they ought to possess the power of dissolving, as well as of making unions, in order that they might be able to correct any evils which might be found in certain cases to result from uniting parishes together. He liked the old law, and they ought not to consent to any innovation in that law, unless such innovation could be proved to be an improvement. He would there support the amendment of his Noble Friend. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that his Noble and Learned Friend had completely misconceived the import of the observations which he had made, and also the object of the clause itself. The object of that clause was, to enable the Commissioners to unite a number of parishes together, which were too small to enable them to erect and support workhouses for themselves. His (the Lord Chancellor's) Noble and Learned Friend had also com pletely mistaken the meaning of the 2d of George the 2d. There was no doubt that the act in question gave the magis trates the power of affording relief to paupers at their own houses. There was no doubt, lie (the Lord Chancellor) re peated, that the magistrates had the discretionary power of either sending paupers to the workhouses, or relieving them at their own houses ; but we all knew how that power was abused. Wherever the power was exercised to advantage, that was the exception ; the abuse of the power was the rule, and they all knew to what extent the power was abused. His Noble and Learned Friend had endeavoured to give the work house a bad name, which it certainly did not deserve, and which it certainly ought not to bear in the estimation of their Lordships. He (the Lord Chancellor) would have no objec tion to the Noble and Learned Lord endeavouring to give the workhouse a bad name in the eyes of the paupers, because that might have the effect of impressing them with a horror of it, and consequently prove an inducement to them to do all they could to avoid it. But the Noble and Learned Lord ought not to try to persuade their Lordships that it deserved this bad name. He (Lord Wynford) had compared the workhouse un der the new system to a great prison. The comparison was most unjust. There was all the difference in the world between a workhouse and a prison. Paupers are not compelled to enter the workhouse ; they go to it of their own free will. It is different with regard to a prison. Men are obliged to go into it against their wills. Paupers can leave th e work house when they like ; but men cannot leave the prison when they like.—( Laughter.) They are detained contrary to their inclinations ; they cannot get out of it. He wished that the Noble and Learned Lord would exert his eloquence, as he had already stated, against the workhouse, in the eyes of pau pers, so as to present them going into it. He (the Lord Chancellor) admitted that the present clause would lead to a great change in the Gilbert Act ; but he was convinced it was a great improvement on that Act. It was, in fact, a return to the old system. With regard to the power conferred on the Commissioners, of uniting parishes together, that power was absolutely necessary. Unless they did possess such power, the union would never take place to any extent. Two or three might unite, but six or seven would not. Lord WY — NFORD explained: A measure might be good when partially applied, which would be very injurious if it was to be made general. He adhered to the opinion he had al ready expressed, that the present measure would be produc tive of great evil. Wherever workhouses were erected, it would be found that paupers would remove to some other parish. The Earl of FALMOUTH objected to the clause. The Earl of WINCHIL SE A contended that the 46th of George the Third, cap. 4. prevented magistrates from giving relief out of the workhouse in those parishes where workhouses existed. Lord COLCHESTER said that in a parish in the neigh bourhood of the place where he resided, the overseers of the poor had lately sent the able-bodied paupers of the parish, to the number of eighty, to work in the fields, and found that the great majority of them did so very willingly. He was con vinced, that if work were provided by the overseers for pau pers, there would be little necessity for workhouses. The Earl of ST R ADBROK E objected to the powers given to the Commissioners. They were very extraordinary powers, as they could unite parishes without the consent of the inha bitants, The exercise of these powers would lead to great dissatisfaction and dissensions, and make the condition of many parishes worse than it is at present. Lord EL L ENB ORO UGH would vote for the clause on the ground of economy. He thought it necessary, with the view of economy, that the Commissioners should have the power of uniting parishes ; but he thought that aged and in firm persons should not be compelled to go to the workhouse, but should have relief afforded to them at their own homes, where they could receive the attentions of their friends, so ne cessary for their comfort. He thought there should be a clause giving power to the magistrates to relieve paupers who had attained a certain age, at their own houses. The Duke of WELLINGTON thought that workhouses were the only means, in many cases, in whi c h t h e con di t i on of the poor could be ameliorated. As many parishes were too small to support workhouses for themselves, it was necessary that there should be a union of them. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that there were only 6,000 'wishes in which the population exceeded 2,000 ; and there were 9,000 parishes in which the population was less than 500. It was therefore necessary that there should be a union of parishes. The Marquis of LAN SDOWNE said that if their Lord ships thought that the workhouse was the only means of ame liorating the condition of the poor, they ought to support the clause as it stands. There were no means by which the clause could be carried into effect with any advantage, but by vesting a discretionary power in the Commissioners. They had just heard it stated by his Noble and Learned Friend (the Lord Chancellor) that there were nine thousand parishes in Eng land and Wales, the population of which was less than 500. If, then, the Commissioners did not possess the power of en forcing a union, some of these small parishes would, in every instance, defeat all attempts to form a union. It had been objected to the workhouses, and undoubtedly it was the greatest objection that could be urged against it, that the indiscriminate intermixture of so many persons in workhouses must necessarily lead to the contamination of each other's mo rals ; but let him (the Marquis of Lansdowne) ask whether, if the Commissioners were deprived of a discretionary power to unite parishes, and avail themselves of, the present large e workhouses, they would not be obliged to erect small ones, where all classification would be impassible , and where cause s, 7 _ , • • / /i _....-- .." 1.- , . 416 ../ '2144- 44 .

Learned Lord intended to limit the union of parighes? The LORD CHANCELLOR said that if these were to be any limits at all, it would be better that the limits should be to space than to the number of parishes ; that the union should be limited to a certain number of miles. His opinion, however, was, that there should be no restrictions; but that it should be left in the first instance to the discretion of the corn_ ,„ missioners. He would give them more power than might be necessary, rather than fetter them in the first instance. Lord WYNFORD said a few words which were wholly in_ audible in the gallery. The Earl of FALMOUTH would propose that the union parishes should not extend beyond a certain number of miles, provided that it does not include parishes which hare work. houses of their own, without the consent of the inhabitant " The Lord CHANCELLOR thought that if there wssrio be any restriction at all, it would be much better to have a restriction as to .the number of inhabitants includedin - the union—say 30,000 ; but, as he had already stated, he thought it would be much better to leave it to the' discretion of tl e Commissioners. The amendment was then negatived without a division, On the 25th clause being read, Lord ELLENBOROUGH moved that a clause be inserted allowing all Magistrates a discretionary power of givin g relief to any child under three years old, or any infirm Y , r son above the age of sixty years, without requiring sack aged and infirm person to enter the wor khouse--a.ny rulg or regulat i on of the Commissioners notwithstandi n g, The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he had no ob jection to the proposal. The Earl of RADNOR thought that it would be better to leave the matter to the Commissioners, as they had the power of giving relief out of the workhouse. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said that it would be better to leave infants in the hands of cottagers than in the hands of a mercenary nurse. Lord MELBOURNE, as applied to the aged, objected to it, as it would be an infringement of the principle of the Bill. Lord FALMOUTH suggested that it would be better to postpone the Noble Baron's clause till they came to the 50th clause. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE suggested that the woad " children" should be omitted. After a short discussion, Lout ELLENBOROUGH agreed to the suggestion of the Noble Marquis, as he thought it would seldom' happen that the magistrates would be called on to give relief' to children in the workhouse. The Noble Lord's clause was then agreed to. The 26th, 27th, and 28th clauses were agreed to. The 29th clause was postponed. The 30th and following clauses to the 40th inclusive were agreed to with some verbal amendments. On the 41st clause being put, A NOBLE LORD made some remark about religions in struction. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY suggested, as we understood, that on the report being brought up, an amendment to the following effect should be added to the 18th clause : That the inmates of a workhouse should be under the care and tuition of the vicar or rector of the parish in which such workhouse should be situated, and that the rector might visit, and superintend, and afford religious instruction to such inmates, provided that no inmate should be obliged to attend divine worship contrary to the mode in which he had been brought up ; nor should any child be in structed in the creeed of any religion to which the parents might object." In reply to a NOBLE LORD__ The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said he had no ob jection to add to the amendment that those inmates who had been in the habit of receiving consolation from Ministers not belonging to the Established Church. should not be deprived of such consolation, but that the Ministers should have liberty to attend them. The LORD CHANCELLOR said no objection could be made to this amendment. It was ordered to be printed, and the 41st clause was then agreed to. The clauses up to 45 havin g been agreed t o , c l ause 46 was struck out. Clau ses 47 and 48 were then agreed to. On clause 49 The Marquis of SALISBURY said he had an amendment to propose to this clause. Though relief given to able bodied persons without employment was declared illegal, yet it was undeniable that relief, under such circum stances, had been given, to a consider a bl e ex t ent , through out England ; he was, therefore, unwilling to see the system put a stop to harshly and at once, fearing that this course might lead to very serious evils. If, however, they fol lowed out the principle on which commissioners were to be appointed, they would find that it was impossible, with out a special clause for that purpose, that the commis sioners could sanction that which was declared illegal. It was provided that no relief should be given to the ablebodied poor without employment after the Ist of June, 183 i,. Could they expect that any Commissioner in the world could enforce that law in the course of one year ? It was impossible ; and a con siderable time must elapse before this principle could be acted on. Then in the same clause in which they fixed the day on which the allowance should cease, they inserted a proviso to suspend the operation of the enactment. That appeared to him to be a vicious system of legislation, which first enacted a clause, and then introduced a provision at the end for the pur pose of suspending it. He feared that another injurious con sequence would be, that giving relief to the able-bodied having been once legalized, when the operations of the Commissioners should cease, the principle would continue to be acted on. En tertaining these views, he begged to propose a preamble to the 49th clause, giving a discretionary power to the Commission ers. The Noble Lord concluded with moving the preamtie as an amendment, to the effect, that an illegal practice had ob tained of giving relief to able-bodied persons, and great dim. culty might arise in case of any immediate remedy of the evil, therefore it should be lawful for the Commissioners to declare to what extent such relief should be given, and at what period such relief should cease to be afforded out of the workhouse. The LORD CHANCELLOR was understood to object to that part of the amendment which decided the legal ques tion. Ile had known several eminent indi v id ua l s who differed in their construction of the law, and he thought it better to avoid deciding a legal question by a side-wind. There was an old maxim which was worth remembrance ; it was this—. " Take care when you change things, that you do not change names : and take care when you change names, that you do not change things without meaning it." He thought that the other part of the amendment moved by the Noble Lord pro posed a very great and substantial improvement.—( Hear.) The amendment was postponed till the other amendments to be proposed in the clause were disposed of. The Marquis of SALISBURY suggested that relief should be given in kind; where this system had been pursued it had been followed by the best results. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE thought it preferable to leave this matter to the discretion of the Commissioners. The LORD CHANCELLOR agreed with his Noble Friend that this had much better be left to the Commissioners. To say that relief in money should not be afforded, under any circumstances, might lead to very great inconvenience. The Marquis of SALISBURY begged to withdraw his amendment. The clause and the preamble that had been moved by the Marquis of Salisbury were then agreed to. Clause 50 was omitted. Clause 51 having been moved, and some Noble Lords having intimated their intention to propose some amendments, The LORD CHANCELLOR said that, as it was now late, it would, perhaps, be their Lordships' pleasure to adjourn. The Noble and Learned Lord then suggested, that as they had got through the greater part of the Bill, and as they would be much engaged next week with other Bills which might be expected from the House of Commons, it might be advisable to meet at twelve o'clock to-morrow, when, perhaps, the Bill might be passed through Committee. Lord WYNFORD and other Noble Lords having objected to this arrangement, and expressed a d ou bt as t o whether it would occasion any saving of time, inasmuch as such Noble Lords as could not attend to-morrow would propose their amendments on the bringing up of the report, The Marquis of SALISBURY suggested that it might answer all purposes if their Lordships met at twelve o'clock on Monday. The LORD CHANCELLOR approved of this sugges tion. Their Lordships then would adjourn till to-morrow, only to receive the Coercion Bill from the House of Com mons, and would meet at twelve o'clock on Monday for the dispatch of public business.—Adjourned.
