We believed, in fact, that it was the intention of Russia to depart from that harsh system which had hitherto prevailed in Poland. It was in these expecte the con g ess We felt, however, it might he necessary to make pre- vious inquiries as to what might be the result of i sueh a step. We th that although the Ru ssian p enipo• tent „ac deny our right to i nterro g ate them u p on ;- subject—that, in fact, they were sent there ~,, answer any inquiries which might be made with respect to tee internal administration of a part of the Russian empire. (Hear, hear.) Nevertheless, we thought it might not be inconsistent with the policy of the Emperor of Russia, and might have a fitting collateral close to the labours in which we had been engaged, that we should have permitted his pleni potentiaries to announce to Europe his intentions towards poland. But when we found this was not the case, and that such a proceeding on cur part was likely to lead to misrepresentation in Russia, and would interfere with those acts of clemency, which, after all, the Emperor had a right to choose his own time for giving effect to, and feeling those acts of clemency would have lost much of their weight if it wasthought that they had been suggested by any of the powers with which Russia was lately at war when, I say, we found all this would be the case, the French and Euglich plenipotentiaries departed from their intention, and they said nothing about Poland, not because they were indifferent as to the fate of Poland, or to the security of Poland, but because they believed it was for the interest of Poland that they should say nothing. That was the reason for our not persevering in the course which my noble friend thought was incurr.• bent upon us. For myself, I freely confess, I for one looked forward with certainty to the realisation of the intentions with respect to Poland announced by the Emperor of Russia on his accession to the threne. In .common, however, with every •ne else, I have shared in tile disappointment caused by this so called amnesty. Nor can I say how this act of clemency came to be so re stricted. I know that the mere rumour of a general am nesty produced the greatest enthusiasm at \Varsaw in favour of the E nperor, and justified us as to our belief when at Paris that a large measure of the kind would be completely successful, and would render the inhabitants of Poland loyal and grateful, instead of continuieg s• pierce of disquietude and anxiety to the Ru-sian government. I say the mererumorirs of this amnesty produced the great est enthusiasm throng ,out Polan I, and I cannot but think this manifestation of favour most have been grati fying to the Emperor—and if I might presume to say so must have been encouraging to him. Because as far as we know of the Emperor's character, he is just and be• nevolent—is alive to the sufferings of his people— , and is desirous of promoting their happiness and pros perity, as well as deeply sensible of the responsibility which rests upon him in the Government of his vast empire. If, therefore, my lords, we are correct in this estimate of the Emperor's character, I cannot believe that Poland has not something more to hope and expect from hen than is contained in this amnesty. But, my lords, I must say, also, from what I have heard, that if the Emperor does any thing for Pelee(' it must be hie own epontane rue act. Airl, therefore, I fear the cause of Po land will derive no benefit either from a emeplete dis cussion or from merely the expression of individual opi nions in Parliament. (Hear.) THE CRIMEAN INQUIRY. The Earl of LUCAN rose to ask the Minister of War when her Majesty's Government would lay before Par liament the report of the Chelsea Board of General Offi cers ? He could state pretty confidently that on Monday last the report was placed in the bands of her Majesty ; and that being so, he could not understand why there had been such a delay in placing it before Parliament. The session was fast drawing to a close, and he consi dered it a matter of justice, as well as a matter of right, that the report should be communicated to the public upon the earliest possible day. Lord PA.N MURE quite admitted it was an act of justice to those officers whose conduct had been impugned that the report in question should be made public as early as possible. The noble earl had asked him a ques tion with respect to the report on Tuesday, but he (Lord Panniure) was not aware at the time that the report had actually been laid before her Majesty. It appeared, however, that the noble earl was better acquainted with what had passed between her Majesty and the Corn mander-in•Chief than be had been, for it turned out that the report was laid before her Majesty on Monday last, and that it was in the act of presenting it to her Majesty that his noble friend the Commander-in-Chief was seized with the illness which now afflicted him. The report had been presented unaccompanied by the evidence —a defect which had subsequently to be supplied (as we understood). Her Majesty wishing to make herself acquainte I with the report, had not as yet for warded him a copy of it in his capacity as Secretary of State, and therefore the Government were not in pos session of the report. It was intended to follow the pre cedent with respect to the Convention of Cintra. The commissioners reported to the Commander-in-Chief, and through the Commander-in-Chief the report was trans mitted to the Sovereign, who then referred to his minis ters for the advice necessary to be given with regard to it. Their lordship might rest assured that Government would lay the report before Parliament as early as pos sible. The Earl of LUCAN—My lords, from what has fallen from the noble earl I do not see the slightest prospect of justice being done to those officers at whose instance this inquiry took place. I shall, therefore, feel it my duty to move an address to her Majesty for a copy of the report on Tuesday next. PAROCHIAL SCHOOLS (SCOTLAND) BILL. The Duke of ARGYLL moved the second reading of this bill. The Duke of BUCCLEUCH regarded the bill as a great improvement upon that of last year, and was, he supposed, to be looked upon in the light of a cumpro mise. There were, however, certain provisions in the bill which he should hope to see modiged in committee. After some conversation, the bill was read a second time. The Stoke Poges Hospital Bill passed through coat. rnittee. The Oxford College Estates Bill was read a second time. .••-• The Turnpike Acts C3ntinuancs Bill was read a third time. The Militia Ballot Suspension Bill was road a third time, and passed. Tne Church Building Bill passed through committee. The report of amendments on the Dulwich College Bill was received. Their lordships then a'ljourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--(YESTERDAY., The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Sir W. FENVIICK WILLIAMS, Bart., of Kars, took the oaths and his seat for Caine. Tue hon. and gallant gen tleman, who was loudly cheered as he entered the house, was introduced by Lord Goderich and Sir George B. Pechell. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the Printing a nd Publish ing Company's Bill were ccmsidered and agreed to. CORRUPT PRtCTICES AT ELECTIONS BILL, Mr. H. BERKELEY gwe notice that on the motion for going into committee on this big, he should move that it be committed that day six months. COAST DEFENCES. Mr. HAYTER, on the part of the First Lird of the Admiralty, gave notice that on Monday he would intro- duce a bill for the better defence of the coasts of the realm, and to transfer the government of the Coast Guards to the Admiralty. FORMS OF THE HOUSE. Mr. M. GIBSON said he wished to put a question to the Speaker with respect to the forms of the house. A difference existed on the part of certain members as to the right of raising discussions on the different stages of the Appropriation Bill. Seine members thought that the same course could be adopted with this as was pursued on occasions of Supply. On referring back to Hansard he found that the noble lord, the member for the City of London, on the third reading of the Appro. priation Bill, made a long speech, in which he reviewed the whole of the foreign policy of the country, and Mr. Lucas took the opportunity on one of the stages of the bill to raise a discussion on the inequalities of the in come-tar. Under the circumstances he hoped the Speaker would state to the house the right that mem bers possessed of raising discussions on the different stains of the Appropriation Bill The SPEAKER said he did not believe that mem bers possessed any more privileges on the Appropria tion Bill than any other hills before the house, and all questions must be relevant to the measure before the house. With respect to the instance mentioned by the hon, gentleman of the noble lord the mem ber for Loudon he receilected the circumstances. The noble lord put himself in order by referring to certain votes contained in the bill. Members, therefore, did not posses any greater privileges upon this than upon any other bill. THE TOWER GATES. Mr. T. DU NCOMBE asked the Under Secretary for War why the gates in the Tower, which had always been open to feat passengers going east and welt, but closed in August last on account of the war, were still kept shut, and when they would be re-opened 3 Mr. MON-SELL said that the gates would shortly be again opened to the public, but ie consequence of the large quantity of material arriving from the East the business at the Tower ha 1 uot yet decreased, a n d t o open it now would cause great inconvenience to the Government. THE CASE OF JAMES SADLEIR. Mr. MAC ARTNEY adeeil the Attorney-Generai for Ireland to state to the house the name of the magis trate before.whorn any info-.nation was sworn, and the date of the same, and the day upon which the warrant was issued for the apprehension of James Sad leir Sir G. GREY said he must icterpose before the learned Attorney-Gener a l replied to the question. It was exceedingly inconvenient under present circuin stances to reply to such questions as these, but if hon. members were prepared to embody these suspicions • in the form of a substantive motion, the learned gentle man referred to would be ready to reply and defend his conduct and that of the Government with reference to this case. (Hear ) The learned gentleman had a ppli e d for a correct copy of the observations of the learned judge, which had been the subject of remark, and as soon as he had received them he would bring the question be fore the house. (Hear, hear.) Mr. MACARTNEY, in explanation, said he asked the question in co nse q uence of what fell from the learned Attorney-General for Ireland on a former occasion. THE SALT TRADE—INDIA. Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the President of the Board of Control whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government, in consequence of the report from the Commissioner appointed to inquire into the system of manufacturing salt in India, to effect any chan3s in the present salt monopoly of the Indian Go._ vernment in the presidencies of Bengal and Madras, or to lower the rates of duty on salt Mr. V. SMITH said that the C3mmiss'ioner had not yet concluded his investigations, and had not made any report with reference to a large section of the Presidency of Bengal. As soon as it Wa3 c unpleted a scheme would be devised for altering the present system. BELIZE. Mr. M. GIBSON moved an address for oopy of letter addressed by the Secretary of State for the olonies, in Nov., 1836, to S. Coxe, Esq., defining the boundaries of the British settlement of Belize. Mr. LA.BOUGHERE said that he found a letter was addressed by Sir G. Gray, when Secretary for the Colo nies in 1836, in answer to a question from the Company, in which he stated what were the views of the Govern ment with regard to the boundaries of this settlement. There would be no objection to produce the letter re ferred to. Oa the motion of Mr. M. GIBSON*, the production of the letter was ordered. THE INDIAN BUDGET. In answer to a question from Mr, J. G. PIITLLIMORE, Mr. V. SMITH. said he would bring on the Indian budget on Thursday next. ROYAL ENGINEERS IN THE CRIMEA. Captain L. VERNON called the attention of the house to the services rendered by the Corps of Royal Engineers in the Crimea. This corps bad displayed ereat skill and ingenuity in the late bombar iment of Sebastopol, to whose exertions the surrender of the place was mainly due, and the gallant member com plained that these valuable services had beau inade quately rewarded. No reply was made by any member of the Government to the statement of the gallant officer, and the subject dropped. TUE SADLEIR FRAUDS. Mr. NAPIER rose to put a question to the Attor ney-General for Ireland a- , to the obligations imposed upon a Privy Councillor in Ireland by force of the oath administered on his appointment, which be was induced to do in consequence of the remarks made on a previous occasion by the learned Attorney-General for Ireland, in imputing to the Master of the Rolls in Ireland that be had acted contrary to his oath as a Progy Coun cillor in Ireland, in permitting the escape of James Sadleir. The hon. and learned gentleman then entered, at great length, into what had been done in Ireland with reference to the gigantic frauds of the Sadleirs, and the great ability that had been displayed by the Master of the Rolls in unravelling their frauds, and proceeded to defend the learned judge from the un just imputations he said that had been cast upon him by the learned Attorney-General, and which were with out the slightest foundation. He called upon that learned gentleman to say what part of the oath the learned judge had violated with reference to the escape of J tines Sadleir. The subject required investigation —the country demanded it, and he was determined it should take place. (Hear. hear.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND com plained of the conduct of the bon. member in bringing on this question by piecemeal, and of his calling on him to answer for acts committed before he (the Attorney-Ge neral) came into office. He bad within half an hour received a telegraphic communication from Ireland stating that the court of justice had been deseciated by the proceedings adopted there. He could not act on that, but he had instituted inquiries, and from what he could learn from the message the proceedings were so extraordinary that it would be the duty of the Government to call for an explanation in the usual and proper manner. He denied that lie bad made any charges against the Master of the Rolls in his judicial character, or that of a Privy Councillor. All he had said was, that if James Sadleir had escaped it was in consequence of the alarm excited by the statements of the Master of the Rolls, whose conduct was irregular. He (the Attorney-General for Treland) was prepared to state in his character as lawyer that if there was any sustainable charge against the par ties it could only be based upon that remarkable letter of John Sadleir's, which did not come to light until the 13th of June. Well then, Master Murphy—of whom it might be said, without any disparagement to the Master of the Rolls, that he was an able and distinguished lawyer—de cided that there had been no fraud ; and on the case be ing carried before the Master of the Rolls, that learned gentleman observed, not that the Government, but the parties before him, would involve themselves in the re sponsibility of conniving at a conspiracy, if they shrunk from the duty of bringing the case under the notice of the law officers of the Crown, with a view to a Crown prose cution if it was thought necessary. Observe, it was not the Government but the parties before him whom the Master of the Rolls said would be guilty of a dereliction of duty. He was explaining the law, and he told them the situation in which they were placed, but be tbat as it might, if the Government bad been guilty of a dereliction of duty, or had connived at the escape of a criminal, he, as the really responsible party, should be the last man to shrink from meeting the charge. On the 6th of June he acci _ _ dentally sawi the judgment of the Master of the Rails in the Freeman's Journal, which bad been sent to him in connection with another matter, in which the corpora tion of Dublin was concerned; and' a question was shortly afterwards put to him on the subjeei by the hon. member for Dundalk. Some time afterwards the hon. and learned member for Enniskillen interpellated him upon it, and then the hon. member for Mayo, which eli cited that observation from him that had led to all this discussion. By this latter question it was intended to im pute to the Government a connivance in the escape of Mr. James Sadleir, but he met the imputation by stating that the Government had done all in their power to put the law in force, and if the supposed criminal had left the country to evade justice, he must have done so inconse . . . _ finenceofthe remarks which had fallen from the Master of the Rolls. He further stated that he thought the observations of the learned judge were irregular, and tbat the proper come for him to have pursued would either have been to make an order directing that the evidence should be laid before the law officers of the Crown, or, in his capacity of a privy councillor, to have informed the Lord Lieutenant that a crime had been committed, and pointed out the neeesiity fur fur ther investigation. (Hear.) Speaking from the bench, the learned judge bad made use of observations so much tinged with a political hue that they were calculated to attract the attention, not only of the individual charged with the fraud, but of the public at large ; and if James Sadleir had not left the country before, could anything be conceived more calculated to frighten him away ? (Hear, hear.) He (Mr. Fitzgerald) stated what he had said on the previous occasion as a vague inference, but he had now private information, received within the last two hours, which he believed would establish beyond all controversy, that within a short time after the remarkable language held by the Master of the Rills Mr. Sadleir left the country, and had not since returned. What, therefore, he (Mr. Fitzgerald) had stated was the truth ; and if the right hon. gentleman opposite would bring forward the matter in any tangible shape he would undertake to prove it. (Cheers.) The hon. and gallant member (Col. French) had on a pre vious night expressed an opinion that the language he (Mr. Fitzgerald) used was disrespectful to the Master of the Rolls ; and he (Mr. Fitzgerald) thought it right to express his full concurrence in the eulogiurn which the gallant gentleman passed upon the learned judge. But a couple of days afterwards the Maeaer of the Rolls made the following observations, which he read from a written paper in his court. "He had observed from the public joarnals that the Attorney-General for Ire land had thought fit to renew the attacks which he lied previously made upon him. The Attorney General was much mistaken if he supposed that he (the Master of the Rolls) was about to rest quietly under such imputations. He would not do any such thing, but, on the contrary, would send forward by this night's post documents which would tend to impeach the course that had been adopted by the Attorney-General in this case." He (Mr. Fitzgerald) presumed that that was the document the right hon. gentleman he din his hand. The Master of the Rolls proceeded to say, " He would also be pre pared on Friday to bring forward a charge against that officer which was of a most serious nature, and strongly calculated to affect his character and his office as Attor ney-General—a charge which he (the Master of the Roll) was prepared to substantiate before a committee of the House of Commons or any other tril t ial—a charge the effects of which neither the sophistry nor the mystification of the Attorney-General would avail him in escaping from." (Loud cheers.) Would the right heti. gentleman (Mr. Napier) after that venture to say that the Master of the Rolls had not turned his court into a political arena ? (Loud Ministerial cheers.) But the matter did not rest there. He (Mr. Fitzgerald) had just re , ceivad a telegraphic message, on which be could not of course act, and which indeed was in part scarcely intelligible to him ; but it the statements contained in it were well founded—if it truly represented what had taken place in the Rells Court that morning—then a grosser outrage upon justice had seldom been enacted, as the house would admit when he stated that the politicel observations of the Master were responded to by loud cheering from a crowded court. In consequence of that message, he (Mr. Fitzgerald) communicated with the Home Secretary ; and he entirely concurred with his right hon. friend both in deprecating any premature dis cue-don, aed :n t 'inking that the matter ought to have beau brought for -yard a, a substantive motion. The right hon. gentleman might surely have treated him in that high and honourable spirit which ought to cha racterise a person in dealing with a political opponent, and might, after the appeal which had been made to him, have stayed his hand. the right hon, gentleman knew whether the paper io his possession was not a tran script of the personal charges which the Master of the Rolls had made against him that morning. When he (Mr. Fitzgerald) spoke of personal charges he did not of course mean charges affecing his moral conduct—he hoped he stood above that—but the right hon. gentleman knew whether the telegraphic message was correct, in st sting that the Master of the Rolls had charged him, as a public officer, with a gross dereliction of duty, a id with having connived at the escape of a criminal. He (Mr. Fitzgerald) challenged the right hon .gentlemsn to rise in his place and to make any charge personal, political, or otherwise, against him. (Cheers.) Let the right hcn. gentleman only put his charge in a shape which could be met, or on which the house could torra a judgment, and let him bring at tahraidt hmeomsbeanut,idorboonguAitleorpidreapya,roardotno the Rolls Court w as ava i lable for t ama h lnie e yet thd p eia r ty e . e :e vi c (e(C u 'l ethinoeieirsi'n) The right hon. gent l eman said that of James :Sadleir ; but of what did that evidence consist ? It comprised 150 affidavits, which were upon the files of the cour t. They had been made use of, but they did not become available till the 23th of June, when the Master delivered judgment. It was the greatest mistake possible to suppose that the frauds which had been perpetrated by James Sad lair could possitly be made the subject of a prosecution. It was very lamentable, but such was the state of the law, that a director might with impunity publish a report, and misrepresent the balance. In the present case, however, the remarkable letter which had been discoycred would enable them to proceed against James THE SUN; LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 12, 1868 . . been &On to different colonels of regiments, and great eon_ fusion httd oonsegnontly prevailed. To Ireland orders had sent to disembody the militia as they found work, and Sadleir for conspiring with his deceased brother to com mit a fraud ; the absurd state of the law rendering the conspiracy punishable, while the fraud itself was not. Mr. CARDWELL had.lived on terms of too close in timacy with the learned judge to remain silent while his conduct was aspersed. The Attorney. General was perfectly entitled to expect the Master of tt e B o il s would shrink from nothing he had said, b :ut would be prepared at the proper time to subs' , antiate it. The right hen, gentleman had not, he . : vrever, self to rebutting a charge agaie ,st himself, but n ha e on to make the followine oiln d d gone on charges against the learned judge, He said that one Master of the Rolls bad dese• crated a court of astice ; shat he was guilty of a ghOss defau-t ; that I'. had made observations of so lriettilrr a character eat s he had tinged with apolitidal laspect the ju dicial etn gs in his Courts ;that he had caused a f; ure of justice ) and led to the escape of James c Adleir ; that he had converted his court into a political re roo,. arena; that he had been guilty of a great outrage on je-tice, and had abused his position on the bench, to charge the Attorney-General and the Irish Goveennient with a great dereliction of duty. (Heat, hear.) He gathered from that cheer that he (Mr. Cardwell) had cor rectly repeated the right hoe, gentleman's charges. (Hear, hear.) Then they had issue joined in the pre sence of the House of Commons ; and he thought the right hon. gentlem'an (Mr. Fitzgerald) was himself bound to take care that there was a full and searching inquiry into the truth of those allegations. (Loud cheers.) Mr. MOORE said this was a matter in which the house and the public could allow no compromise. (Cheers.) It was a matter which involved something of more weight than even the characters of the two gentlemen involved ; because either the Master of the Rolls had been guilty of a groundless calumny on the Irish Government, or else the Irish execu tive had been guilty of a dereliction of duty, the grossest of which a government had ever been guilty. (Hear.) The right hon. gentleman the Attorney-General said that he (Mr. Moore) had spoken as if he believed he had connived at the escape of James Sadleir. The right hon. gentleman was quite right—he did believe just that. (Laughter.) The Master of the Rolls, in re ference to this case, said, " I do not obtrude any advice or information on the Irish Government—first, because it was no part of my duty ; and secondly, because I be lieved then, and believe now, that if I bad done so it, would have received no attention whatever from the Go vernment, for reasons which the public very well know." (Hear.) There could be no mistake whatever as to what the learned judge meant. He meant that the Irish Go vernment did not interfere to prevent James Sadleir's escape, because they did not desire the disclosures to be made public, which must necessarily result if he was put upon his trial. This, at least, was what was believed in Ireland. (Cheers.) The right hon. gentleman said that when steps were taken to arrest Sadleir it was found he had fled. But there was a converse to that proposition ; the Government might not have taken any steps till they were sure that the criminal was out of the country. (Laughter.) Which of these statements was the truth was the question which must be cleared up. (Cheers.) Mr. WHITESIDE thought the Attorney• General had acted most unwisely in so unnecessarily calling attention to the duties of the Master of the Rolls imposed en him by his oath as a Privy Councillor. He (Mr. Whiteside) had at the time almost felt it his duty to remonstrate ; but it was deemed better first to communicate with the learned judge. The Master of the Rolls had an undoubted right to characterise the action before him as a scanda lous fraud ; and he had also a right to express his opinion that the Government ought to have inteifered. That was what the judges in England constantly did when a case appeared to them to afford materials for a prosecution. Sir John Paul was in this country vigo rously proceeded against and was punished, but he bad not been guilty of half so great a crime as the Sadleirs. (Hear.) It was quite true that the Attorney-General had a high character in the profession ; but he was mistaken if he thought his character in that house would stand higher if he thought it his duty to indulge in the observations he had made on men whom they were all bound to respect. (Cheers.) The SECRETARYfor IREL&NDsaid the Attorney- General for Ireland had kept him constantly informed of all the steps he had taken ; and if there had been any de feat of justice, he (Mr. Horsman) must share the responsi bility. (Hear.) He did not think it was worthy of the right hon. gentleman opposite, having in his possession, as the house had not, the distinct charges which the Master of the Rolls bad made against the Irish Govern ment that morning, to bring on the question in the man ner he had. He wished to know whether the hon. gentle. man was prepared to submit a substantive motion to the house ; whether he would endorse the charges which bad been made against his hon. and learned friend, and whether he would dare to ask the house to come to an opinion upon them I (Cheers.) Mr. NAPIER said he would hand the statement which had been furnished to him to the Attorney-General. It merely contained facts, however, not charges. If the Government did not institute a full inquiry into the matter, he would undertake to see it sifted to the bot tom. (Cheers.) THE NAWAB OF SURA.T. thls had been found to be very successful where it had been carried out. In the regiment he commanded ,many of the men had gone away without employment, and with only a few halfpence iu their pocket. The Timrary Militia were ordered to give up their clothing, and a mutiny ensued. Nov ho maid the War Department was responsible for all this, for if they had sent over elothes for the men, and giVen them a little money tO hit* kept them front starving, all this would not lid oemited. Such a state of things Would always pre- Vail While the Conduct Of military Affairs Were entflistid td Men WhO kneW tiOthing ab6ut 061 oriel EPENdIi believed that there was a general feeling thYoughout IreLnd that these regiments had not been pro- perly treated. A promise was held out that they should re ceive a certaiu amount of bounty, but that promise had not been fulfilled. He regretted to hear the rumour that in order to avenge the outbreak of the Tipperary Militia, the noble lord intended forthwith to clisliftml_ eVery otherlrish regiment. He hepeel thd disembodiment of the various regi i+Aents ik.'ettld take place at a time when they might have au . . _ opportunity of obtaining work. The motion for the adjournment of the house at its rising until Mondly was then agreed. to. COUNTY COURTS BILL. to their distinct functions. The judicial bench in Westtnitistet Hall was recruited, from one branch of the profession, and they should not break down the distinction which had been ' hithcrt ) observed. Mr. W. WILLIAMS said that it was natural that barristers should oppose the admission of solicitors to these courts, but many of the best judges had commenced practice as soli. citors. Mr. Craufurd's amendment was then withdrawn. Mr. HENLEY objected, en the clause itself, to the power Lt gave to the judges, in case of absence, to allow another ,itiagc to act for them, thei ATTCHtNEY-CIENtHAL said thst the clause did not increase the powers already exitting hi this respect. It only prescribed the mode in which they were to be used. Mr. HENLEY said that it would seem to sanction the no: ion that these judges had so much of• their time unoccupied that they couldsuPply the conveniendo of other judges, and do their work. The clause was then agreed to. Claus . e3 ;; to 41 was agreed to. On clause 15, Mr. NYILKESON proposed to insert words enabling ser- vice of process to be made not only personally or at a per son's place of business, but also where a defendant was em ployed. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said his only objection to the amendment was that if inserted in ti ,e present clause it would be confined to the metropolis, instead of being ex tended to the whole kingdom. Mr. HENLEY hoped that if the Attorney-General was in clined to legislate in this sense, he would be good enough t• define what was employment. (A laugh.) The amendment was negatived and the clause agreed to. Clauses 16 to 19 were agreed to. On clause 20, _ Oft the Order for going into committee on this bill, Mr. GLADSTONE said he did not wish to oppose the prin ciple of the bill, and the resolution he should propose would only affect the financial condition of the courts. The finan cial charges proposed in the bill were dispersed thy ugh vari ous clauses, and he bad attempted to gather them together, so that they Might be understood at one view. His resolu tion was founded on a return as to the charge of these courts. He found that by the return that had been made, that the additional charge upon the Consolidated Fund would amount to at least 170,e01/., which would be tantamount to granting several millions of money out of the public purse. It was a permanent charge, and wheu once it got into the Consolidated Fund people would think no more about it, although they would have to bear the enormous expenses. The addition of 170,000/. to the Consolidated Fund was rather a grave finan cial question, and although it was undoubtedly right to pro ceed with questions of law reform, the mere fact of being eu gaged in that work of reform must not blind them to the enormous expenses they might incur. At present he thought the house had no clear idea of the manner in which this mo ney was about to be expended, or how the Government pro posed to arrange matters between the public and the suitors. Altogether, it was a matter which called for deliberate con sideration, founded not only on a careful review of the sub seet, but also on a review of the general judicature of the coun try. There was a doctrine which was held by a great number of persons, that the public ought to bear the expenses of litigation. To that doctrine he demurred, because he believed it would fo,ter litigation. In many suits both parties were unreasonable ; in most cases one of the par ties was unreasonable. By fixing these charges upon the country ordinary prudence would be checked, and litigation would no doubt be greatly extended. The doctrine, he held, Vail full of danger to the peace of the community, and the character of Euglishmen. No doubt the present state of the county courts called for amendment. It was urged that we paid the judges in Westminster-hall, but then the suitors had to pay the costs of their actions. But there was no ana logy between the judges of Westminster-hall and the county courts. The judges of Westminster-hall had to be maintained for many great constitutional points, and to carry en the whole criminal business of the country. So with reg rd to the equity judges, they had to conduct appeals of the highest importance. Then the judges of the small courts in Scotland were dicers paid by the State, but they had to discharge many of the duties which in England were performed by country gentlemen, and therefore the analogy between them and county court judges failed. He thought it was but fair, before they proceeded to make this charge upon the public purse, that they should consider what was the state of the judicial establishments in Westminster-hall. There was an impression abroad that they were a great deal tee large. The judges were well paid, and were backed up with liberal pen sions, but that was no reason why the judges should not be fairly worked. Those judges had been greatly relieved by the appointment of tiO county court judges, and before they im posed the heavy charge proposed, the establishments in West minster-hall should be revised, so that they might be reformed in accordance with the requirements of the public. These expenses were to be paid out of the earnings of the people, and it was the duty of the house to see that no new changes were imposed upon the Consolidated Fund, until they had as certained whether or not the establishments in Westminster hall were too large. By county courts a great boon had been conferred upon the suitors, but that was no reason why they should not confer others, and upon these grounds he thought they should take time to consider the question in connection with other matters, which stood in immediate relation to it. He would suggest that during the recess the Govern ment should consider the whole ctiostion, and that next session *ay should state what they considered should be the number of county coart judges, and what should be their salaries. The bill under consideration did not at all imply such a course. The right hon. gentleman concluded by moving the following resolution as an amendment :—" That it is not expedient to impose at the present time upon the State a charge so heavy as 170,0001. per annum, towards the maintenance of the county courts." Sir G. GREY said that the bill was founded upon the re port of the commissioners specially appointed to inquire into the changes which might be introduced into the county courts, and whether there could be any reduction made in the fees paid by suitors iu those courts. He read a passage from page 42 of the report, on the question as to what amount of fees could be properly realised, and whether the court could be self-supporting. The opinion of the commissioners was that it could not, and that it would he unjust to compel suitors to pay fees sufficient to support the establishment. Tuey recommended that the fees should be continued for the remuneration of the clerks, bailiffs, and inferior officers of the court, but that the salaries of the judges, and the general ex penses of stationery and the buildings should fall upon the public. His right hon. f iend had said that the principle of the higher courts could not be acted on in the county courts. However this might be, he could not see how further inquiry would enable them to settle the question. The county courts were for that class of suitors least able to pay fees, while the suitors in the higher courts were better able to pay them. His right hon. friend complained that the bill caused a great charge upon the public. He (Sir G. Grey) agreed that the measure involved such a charge, but he did not see how they could remove this at a future session, His right hon. friend, too, said that there were special reasons why the higher courts should be paid at the public expense, because they transacted all the cr , reinal business of the country. But judges in equity sat also in Westminster-hall. They had nothing to do with criminal business, and the business decided in such courts re lated to the property of persons of considerable wealth. What ever, therefore, might be said of the 15 judges in common law, they could not make any distinction between the judges in equity and those of the county courts. His right hon. friend said that there were more judges in Westminster Hall than was necessary. Whether this were so or not would not affect the judges of the ceuuty courts. They could not con sider the propriety of reducing the number of the judges till they had gone into the whole course of business in Westmin ster Hall ; theymight then say what reduction could be made. There might be changes proposed in committee when they came to the table of fees— then would be the time to consider them. He hoped the house would not agree to the principle that the court should be self-supporting then, and not allow the whole burden of maintaining them to fall upon the suitors. Mr. E. BALL hoped the Gov(innesst would not yield on the bill. Of all the means to give relief to the oppressed, none was done at so little expense as by the County Courts Act. Mr. BOWYER thought it an entirely false principle that the expenses of the county courts should be paid by the suit ors. They should be looked upon as parts of the public ser vice and paid fur like other parts of such service. As for the money, it was really shocking, when they looked at the reck lessness with which vast sums had been voted, that they should hesitate on a small sum for public justice. He cer tainly should vote against such economy. Mr. VANSITTART supported the reso'ution. He approved of the reasonings of the right hon, gentleman the member for the University of Oxford, and thought that by acting upon the report of the commissioners the house would place itself in a false position. It was, he believed, dangerous to make justice too cheap. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that it had been asserted that the suitors iu those courts ought to pay the expenses of the courts. But it was not only those who gained their causes in the courts who received benefit from them, but all persons of the community who were in the same position benefitted equally. If this doctrine spplied to ale ,urts, it applied more especially to courts where poor persons came to ask for their rights. ram right hon. gentleman had told them that they ought to reconsider the courts in Westminster-hall, whether the staff of judges was not too large. This was a very impor tant matter, but he could not see how it was mixed up with the present question. It was important that the county courts should be kept distinct from the courts of common law. It was desirable that there should be courts for persons of small means to resort to, and he hoped the house would not refuse to go into committee on the bill, on account of matters that had no connection with it. Mr. BECKETT DENISON approved of the resolution. They were called on to pay 170,000/. a-year, and if the right hon. gentleman divided the house upon the propriety of con sidering the county courts without pledging themselves to pay the sum, Ile would go with him. After so much money had been voted, it was more than ever important to consider such a sum as 170,0001. Ile objected to it as a guardian of the public purse. Mr. ROEBUCK said that, from the speech of the hon, gentleman, it would be supposed that the 170,0001. was to be taken from the pockets of the people. This was not the pro position. The proposition was to limit the power of grant ing money to the county courts to 170,0001. - They should consider that in these courts was transacted the greater part of the litigation of the country. The amount in each case was small, but the aggregate was enormous. The courts were courts of litigation for the poor. The resolution made a difference between courts for the rich and courts for the poor, and gave the favour to the court for the rich, (No, no.) This, he repeated, was the effect of the resolution. After a few words from Sirs J. WALSH, Mr, J. G. Pines LIMORE Mr. BASS, and Mr. SriwTT, the amendment was th en put and negatived without a division, and the house went into committee on the hill. Clauses 1 to 4 were agreed int On clause 5, Mr. HADFIELD moved, as an amendment, at the com mencement, to insert " any special pleader of ten years' standing may be appointed a judge of a county court, and." Some of our ablest lawyers had been taken from special pleaders, who were especially versed in the law of evidence. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to the amendment. Special pleadere would introduce technicalities, and not act on the principles of the bill. There was a provision in the former act that they should be qualified for the office after they had been called to the bar for a limited period. Mr. HADFIELD would add to the amendment a proviso , 1 that they should be called first to the bar. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL had no objection to fix a par ticular time after their call to the bar. Sergeant SHEE did not think it was desirable to introduce special pleaders in any way. They were only persons who undersold the barristers, and their very existence was of re cent date. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thattetid were ownreefeelrirgiiebgletaofttletre e xisting act he found th a t s pecial pleaders they had been called to the bar for seven years, He hoped that this would satisfy the hon. member. Mr. CRAUFURD asked whether the learned gentleman would have any objection to another principle, which was not to exclude attorneys and solicitors. These were admitted in Scotland ; and one of the ablestojnuly a dgessionlictiht:ottr. H country, should move Sh e riff Barclay, of Perth, was move that a solicitor or attorney of ten years 'standing might be qualified to be judge of a county court. Mr. HADFIELD'S amendment having been withdrawn, Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE rebutted the attack of the learned Sergeant (Shee) on the special pleaders. One of the most eminent men in the profession, Mr. Dodson, was a special pleader. As for the attorneys, they had quite power enough already. A single instance like the one cited was not enough to establish a general rule. Mr. HADFIELD hoped that the amendment would be adopted. He denied that solicitors had too much power. They had little power beyond that of delivering briefs to bar risters. Solicitors knew the rule of evidence boater than the majority of barristers. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the efficiency of both ljrancles of the profession was preserved by atteutiou. Mr. ROEBUCK wished to know why county courts should not try actions for criminal conversation, and why the con sent of both parties should be required in order to extend the jurisdiction of the county courts to actions of contract above 501., and of tort above 201. Mr. BASS moved to omit the words requiring the consent of both parties in order to the trial of certain actions. The ATTORNEY•GENERAL said that these courts were not established to try such cases as those of criminal conver sation. They were instituted to furnish a cheap and easy mode of recovering small debts, and he feared that object would be defeated if the jurisdiction was extended in the manner pro posed. Mr. ROEBUCK thought that these courts should be made the means of administering cheap and easy justice in all cases where a man had a right to it. Mr. H EN LEY did not see why, if parties could by consent take into the county courts actions of seduction and libel, they should not, with similar consent, try actions for criminal conversation. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that there was a danger of collusion between plaintiff and defendant in cases of crimi nal conversation ; but there was no danger of collusion be tween the plaintiff and the defendant in cases of seduction. He thought it would be better not to allow cases of this kind to be tried in the county courts. Mr. BASS having repeated his motion, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the motion, for, as he observed, if it was agreed to, the house might just as well abolish the superior courts at Westminster at once. Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE said that the county court com missioners were strongly opposed to the proposition of the hon. member for Derby. - Mr. CR AUFURD trusted that the committee would strike out the clause, as it would clash with a clause which he pro posed to bring up. (A laugh.) The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the commissioners were unanimous in recommending that in the cases which would be affected by the 29th clause the jurisdiction should not be extended without the consent of the parties. He, therefore, hoped that the committee would adopt this clause. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, but ultimately the clause was agreed to without a division. On clause 21, Mr. SEYMOUR FITZGERALD said that if this clause were passed it would do away with the utility of the county courts in nearly all cases in which there were accounts cur rent of any magnitude, by reason of the limit placed upon the amount of the claim. After a few words from the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, The clause was agreed to. Clauses up to 56 were then agreed to. Clauses up to 73 inclusive were agreed to. On the proposition for fixing the salaries of the judges, Sir J.. PAKINGTON proposed that the salaries should be equalised, and fixed at 1,5001., instead of 1,200/. as proposed by the bill. The house ought to take every precaution to se cure properly qualified judges for the county courts, and he considered it most desirable that the salaries should be uniform. He objected to a discretionary power being allowed to the Treasury to fix the salaries. The question now to be decided was whether the salaries were to be equalised at the highest amount fixed by a bill of 1852, or at the amount fixed by the present bill. Since the original act was passed, the duties of the county court judges had been considerably in • creased, and they ought to receive an adequate remunera tion for their services. In the year 1851. the number of cases before the courts was 411,090, involving claims to the extent of £1,651,960. The amount of business had since that time considerably increased, and he thought a salary of £1,500 by no means too large, especially when they com pared them with those paid to the Commissioners in Bank ruptcy and Insolvency. He had no doubt there were many gentlemen in Westminbter-hall who would find themselves astonished at receiving £1,200 a-year from their practice, but that was no argament why gentlemen possessing the necessary qualification, and who abandoned their profes sional practice at being appointed county court judges should not be paid £1,500 a-year salary. He moved an amendment to the clause to that effect. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the committee, before deciding the amount of salary, should decide whether the judges should be paid out of the Con solidated Fund or by fees. The Government were of opinion that £1,200 per annum was an adequate remune ration for the services rendered, and that was tested and confirmed by the numerous applications made for the office by gentlemen of ability, and capable of discharging their duties. This was also the opinion of the Lord Chan cellor, who drew the bill. In addition to the salary, these judges were allowed travelling expenses. Should the committee be of opinion that the salaries of the judges should be £1,500 per annum, there were many circumstances to be first considered, and one was, that if the proposition were carried out, the aggre gate cost of the county courts would greatly exceed those of the Euperior law courts, and a question would arise whether the districts should not be revised. Should, however, additional duties be thrown on them beyond the present, a question would arise whether they should not be extra-remunerated, and also whether on a revision of the districts they might not be allowed to hold other offices. The hon. gentleman proceeded to contrast the salary paid to, and the position held by, county court judges and police magistrates, which he contended was in favour of the former. He next referred to the additional charges on the t ixation of the county. 100,0001. a year was to be added by the police, and the proposed income and salary to the clerks and the judges under this act would make nearly 250,0001., the two together making, in round numbers, 350,0001.; and, unless the extra amount required for the County court was not paid out of the Consolidated Fand, the poor suitors would be the sufferers. After some remarks from Mr. CAYLEY, Mr. WILLIAMS regretted the Chancellor of the Ex elequer had not offered a more decided opposition to the amendment of the right hon. baronet. Mr. IVHITESIDE objected to any increase of salary, Mr. MALINS contended that as the principle of giving 1,, -- ,00/. a year to the county court judges had been ad mitted, ought to be made general. He most decidedly object. d to the unequal salaries which were paid, and con sidered that the minimum amount of salaries of 1,2001. a year was not a sufficient remuneration. After a few words from Mr. KENDALL, in favour of the amendment, Mr. GLADSTONE trusted that the Government would give a decided opposition to the proposal, and expressed his disappointment that the right honourable the Chancel lor if the Exchequer had not expressed himself more strongly against the proposal made by the honourable mem ber. He thought that the House of Commons was ex ceeding its functions in thus interfering with the duties of the Government with respect to the increase of the expen diture of the country. The present bid was prepared and brought in by the noble lord the Lord Chancellor, as the head of the law , and that noble and learned l o rd h a d con siare 1 that a salary of 1,2001. a year was sufficient, and in his opinion the Government would do wisely to take their stand upon the opinion of that noble and learned lord. lie denied that the salary of 1,2001. was insufficient, and the fact of the eagerness with which these judgeship , were sought after, afforded a sufficient proof that the offices were valued, and were considered to be sufficiently remu• nerative to the holders. Sir G GREY said that the Government were of opinion, on the authority of the Lord Chancellor, that a salary of 1,200'. a year, with a liberal allowance or travelling ex penses, was amply sufficient for the county court judges. In the opinion of the Lord Chancellor, the most compe tent members of the law of Westminster Hall were candi dates for the vacant judgeships. The fact that the right honourable gentleman the member for the University of Oxford had when in office sanctioned an increase of the salary from 1,2 P/. to 1,5001., formed the greatest difficulty in his (Sir George Grey's) mind in dealing with the ques tion before the house. Mr. GLADSTONE explained that in raising the sala ries of some of the judges, he had only acted in the minis terial capacity of Chancellor of the Exchequer, in carrying out the provisions of the Act of Parliament. Mr. HENLEY said that when the salaries of the county court judges were first fixed, their duties were consider ably less than they were at present; and every session had added something to the labours of those judges. After the declaration of the Government that plenty of suitable candidates could be found to fill the office, ho could not take upon himself the responsibility of forcing an increased expenditure on the Government in this matter. (Hear.) The committee divided, when the numbers were— For the Amendment Against it lB5 Majority The amendment was consequently lost, and the clause was agreed to. Mr. BROTHERTON moved that the chairman do re port-progress. The motion was negatived without a division. In the clause " Registers to be paid by salaries," Mr. KENDALL proposed as an amendment to leave out the whole of the clause after salaries, and insert "and the principles on which the said salaries of the registrars shall be fixed and regulated, shall be the registrar of each court in which the plaints entered do not exceed the number of 200 in a year, shall have an annual salary of "W. ; and that in courts where the plaints exceeel the salaries shall be increased by sums r additional plaints up to 1,000 plaints inc, by sums of 41. for every 25 additional such salaries shall be confined to proceeuange warm toe ordinary and common law jurisdiction of the court ; pro vided that no registrar shall be paid a less salary than 127'. per annum." Mr. J. B. STANHOPE said that however advisable it might be to have cheap law, if the law were administered by improper people it was the dearest law that could bo had. He thought that all officers of the county courts should be properly paid. Tao CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER objected to the amendment, inasmuch as it would entail upon the country an additional expense of 60,0001. a year. Mr. BENTINCK thought it was quite right to adopt all possible means for economising the public funds, but this was an exceptional case. It would, in his opinion, be very unad visable to reduce the salaries of the officers of the courts, if such a course were likely to render the courts inefficient. Mr. CAYLEY sepported the amendment. Mr. MULLINGS (as a member of the committee appointed to inquire into the matter) protested against the existing salaries, which were quite inadequate to secure proper per sons for the performance of the duties. Mr. SPOONER also advocated an increased rate of fees. Many clerks received sums not exceeding 401. a year. Ho did not understand how any ono could object to the amend ment. Mr. WILSON said he had put an amendment on the paper Sir F. KELLY inquired whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to take the opinion of th law officers of the Crown (including the Qieen's Advo cate) as to the true meaning and effect of the treaty of 1800 between the Hon. East India Company and the then Nawab of Surat ? And in the event of such law officer advising that under the said treaty the East India Com pany were bound to pay to the heirs of the said Nawab the annuity therein mentioned, whether it was the inten tion of her Majesty's Government or the Board of Control to order or direct such payment to be made by the said Honourable East India Company accordingly. The hon. and learned member recapitulated thefacts of the case which had been brought forward in the course of the recent debate o❑ the bill passed in the House of Commons and rejected by the House of Lords. Under the present cir cumstances of the case, he contended that there was but one course open for the Government, and that was to direct the order for the payment of the money in accerd ance with the terms of his question. The hon. and learned gentleman said that there never was a case that he had felt more strongly upon throughout his long ex perience, and he hoped that the house would refer the case to the law officers of the Crown, and see that pas tics would be done. Mr. VERNON SMITH complained very strongly of Sir Fitzroy Kelly for bringing this question on upon the motion for the adjournment of the house, and charged the hon. and learned member with having taken a " one-sided view of the case," and made some " monstrous" assertions about the facts. [The right hon. gentleman was ultimately called to order by the Speaker.] At all events he would say that the question of Meer Jaffier's claim had been considered over and over again, both by the Government at home and in India. He did not think that it was altogether a proper case for the consideration of the law officers of the Crown, seeing that it involved questions of Mahomedan law, but lie would admit that there was a deficiency of tribunals for the settlement of claims of this kind. He should suggest that a petition be presented to her Majesty, under the 41st section of the 3d and 4th Wm. IV., which authorised the Government to refer the whole matter to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council. PAY OF STAFF OFFICERS. Col. LINDSAY called the attention of the house to the de duction of pay from officers serving on the staff when they were temporarily absent from their staff duties, and alluded to several cases where officers had never been absent for two years, but because they went away for a little temporary re laxation had their pay stopped. The hon. and g.dlant mem ber said this eras a paltry economy and unworthy of the ser vice. Mr. F. PEEL said that where the duties of officers tempo rarily absent could be performed without any OK tra expense to the Government the pay would not be stopped, and the course hitherto pursued in other cases was considered just, and would be adhered to. ADJUTANTS OF MILITIA. Mr. NEWDEGATE asked the Under Secretary for War whether he would lay urn i the table of the h f o the report and names of the medical board who last examined into the state of the health and the fitness for duty of Capt. Cassan, the adjutant of the Ist Regiment of Warwickshire Militia, who has applied for permission to retire upon the allowance provided for adjutants of militia, under the Act 9 and 10 Vic., e. 55 ; also the report and names of the medical board who had previously examined and reported upon the state of health and fitness for duty of the same officer I Mr. F. PEEL said that the aet of Parliament prohibited the payment of half-pay unless the officer were unfit from age or infirmity to perform his duty. In this case the retiring officer had aeclared himself unfit for duty ; but the board thought differently, and therefore the Government did not feel themselves justified in charging the public wi .h the half pay. The reports were always uuderstood to be confidential, and therefore could not with propriety be made public. ECCLESIASTICAL JURISDICTION AND DIVORCE BILLS. Mr. MADFIELD asked the First Lord of the Treasury what course was intended to be pursued by the Government this session respecting the Wills and Administrations Bill and the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill; or, in the next session, for abolishing the ocelesia.,tical courts, and conducting in future the business now transact/ 1 by such courts, and especially for the purpose of making one probate or administration in England and Ireland, and one continua tion in Scotland, operative on all the property of a deceased person in the United Kingdom, and what bills brought into the house were intended to be proceeded with or withdrawn this session, and whether any new bills were intended to be brought in Mr. GLADSTONE said in reference to these ecclesiastical bills, of which they had received shipwreck during so many years, he thought the parties who would be entitled to these offices shoul I have notice that they took them subject to any measure—subject to any regulation—Parliament might wake and without any claim to compensation. Sir G. GREY said he believed such notice had been given, and that in consequence of that notice the claim to compen sation would be destroyed. As to the question in reference to the Wills and Administrations Bill, the lion. gentleman was probably aware that it had been withdrawn. As to the Ma trimonial Bill, the Government would state early next week - what course they would take in regard to it. As to what mea sures would be introduced next session in reference to the ec clesiastical courts, he thought it would be inexpedient at the present time to discuss the efuestion. He was not acquainted with any new bills that would be brought in, except perhaps some continuance bills, of which due notice would be given. As to the bills at present on the paper, Government would take them in their regular order. Mr. J. G. PHILLIMORE hoped the Government would do their best to pass the Divorce Bill this session, and thus re move a great scandal to our legi.ilati( i. Mr. MALINS said tho greatest amount of compensation to be granted under the Wills Bill was to the proctors. N• one suggested that the proctors should be abolished until this bill was brought in; and now it had been proposed to pay rum/. as compensation to a body whose successive eonunissio:Js had reported to be most useful to the com munity. If the noble lord (Lord Palmerston) would read the report of tho Chancery Commission of 1354, he would soon be convinced of the undesireableness of allowing the business of wills to be transferred t ethe county courts. The report was very short, and would not take the noble lord more than an hour and a half to road. THE MILITIA MUTINY IN TIPPERARY. • - Colonel DUNNE called the attention of the house to the militia meeting at Nenagh, and repeated the statementi which have been published in the newspapers relative to that occurrence. The outbreak lie attributed to the refusal of the Government to pay the men what was due to them on disem bodiment- a circumstance to which he had frequently di rected the notice of the Co-fen:uncut. Contrary orders bad -- . ~y Which would make the salaries in accordance. with tv.a re commendations of the commissioners. The committee divided, and the numbers were For the amendment Against it Majority The amendment was then agreed to. On the suggestion of Mr. WILSON, some modifications of the clause were agreed to. Mr. ROEBUCK moved that the Chairman do report pro. geess, it being now past two o'clock. The motion, after some discussion, was agreed to, and The CHAIRMAN then reported progress,. sad asked leave to sit again. 16 -8) CUSTOMS (No. 2) BILL. - - - Mr. WILSON moved that the house go into committee on this bill. (Cries of " Oh, oh.") Thero were only two clauses. (Laughter.) The house went into committee, and agreed to the clauses, each clause on being proposed creating a shout of " Oh, oh," each shout being more emphatic than the lost. Eventually the bill passed through committee. UNLAWFUL OATHS (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. TIIE IRISH CONTROVERSY. At a quarter past two the controversy in reference to the Master of the Rolls was revived. Mr. HORSMAN said the Government would expect Mr. Napier to submi , his charges to the house, in the form of a resolution, on Monday. ( Hear.) The ATTORNEY•GENERAL for IRELAND said it was the duty of Mr. Napier, as a man of honour, to bring on the matter as a substantive resolution. Mr. NAPIER quite understood his duty as a man of honour, and should be prepared to do his duty at the proper time. RAILWAY ACT (IRELAND) CONTINUANCE BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed_ TURNPIKE ACTS CONTINUANCE (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. EPISCOPAL AND CA.PITULAR ESTATES CONTIN U. ANCE BILL. This bill passed through committee. '•• INDEMNITY BILL. This bill passed through committer. DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES BILL. On the order for the second reading of this bill, Sir J. GRAHAM referred to that clause of the bill which had been inserted by the House of Lords, in reference to mar riage with the person with whom adultery had been com mitted. That was a very grave question, and he should wish to know whether the Government intended to press the bill ? Lord PALMERSTON thought it a very cruel and immoral clause. He would state next week what course the Govern. ment intended to take with the bill. MARRIAGE LAW (SCOTLAND) AMENDING BILL. _ _ This bill was committed pro forMa, and Monday was ap pointed for its consideration. The other orders of the day having been disposed of, the house adjourned at a quarter before three. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--JULY 11. COUTY COURTS ACTS AMENDMENT BILL.
