That was supplying both the law and the s ; fio. his part he would not take both the law and the facts from the Ministere. Such law was not Quarter Session law—it was not even what Shah eieare rifled " Crowner's Quest law," and any thins ridiculous that great master of ridicule bad never ,een ; anything- more ridiculous, more worthy of the ;rave-digger scene he had never heard of than the pre sumption of the Minister, in calling on the House to take sway a great many existing privileges, and not give it any foes as the foundation of its judgment.—(Hear.) If the iuestion was not answered, as to the authority of the do ument on the table, he would bring forward a inotien an tl e subject ; and though the Member for Worcester _or the Mem' e~for Preston might charge him with faction for Ding so, he would move for that information. It was their ease, indeed, not his ; as they ought to know the facts and the motives for disfranchising the boroughs it t ;LIMN) s A and P. The authors of the new legislation —the leeislatien of 1831—proposed by their Bill of 1531, to disfranchise the boroughs in the Schedules A and B, and they proceedel on the population returns of 15'21 ; and he .vaned to know why they should not found their Bill on the acts of 1531 ? They ought to do so, and ought lot to legislate retrospectively to the population of 1821. The gentlemen on the other side had telkeel, some of them at !cast, very eloquently of keeping pare with the times ; they said, "DJ lot go back ten or twelve years; see what happens in that :pace; look at what has occurred in France and Belgeton." rhßt was their theory; and they all sail!, 6' Do not make your alteration to conform to what wes, bat to conform to .chat is." The framers of the Bi 11; )sowever, said, " No, we will rot inquirelftterssehatit will not inquire into •lit state of the boroughs in IS3I, we will not inquire Otto the facts now, we wiil b ick t 1521 ;" and ac e,rding to their own principle, notliina more ridiculou'— more absurd—.mire disgraceful—more nugatory than such a measure from such men he had never seen.—(ll-ar, hear, i and a laugh.) Th e N o bl e L or d sm il e d, b ut whe ther t was at what he said, or at his own foolish Bili— tbe Noble Lord dealt more in smihre than in ;ireuno-nta tion; he was redundant in I ingl,ing:, but limited in speech ; and he should like to know whaler the N,Ve Lord's:smiles were excited by the absurdity of his (Sir C. Wetherell's) arguments, or the contmdictions of his own The Commissioners acting under the Population Act were appointed long before the Bill was framed, and they were not likely to diverge from their duty to maraca improper returns. Their returns would he more to be re lied on than the returns on the table, drawn up by men appointed by the Ministers, and appointed for a particular purpose. The public would regard it as a gross mockery to say that the last census should not he confided in, though that must be drain up by gentlemen appointed long ago, and might overturn the census on which the Ministers had drawn up the Bill. For his part, he again called on Ministers to explain what they meant by this Bill ; and he would declare, without hesitation, that if they again attempted to prevent Members expressing their opinions on its principle or its details, he would not he sitate to resort to the same course he had adopted on Tues day evening, and protect himself and them by dividing the House.

Colonel DAVIES had had a seat in that House years `)..fore the Hon. and Learned Gentleman bad been a mem '),.l of it ; and he had always ~.at in the place where he • was then sitting--(Loud cheers)—and because a change in the Mminiftration had taken place, he did not see why he was to follow the Ministers over to the other side of the !louse. If the Hon. and Learned Gentleman thought that his remarks were of such a nature that they ought not , o be overheard, he would do much better not to make them at all.—(A laugh.) Mr. Alderman WOOD had also sit in the seat which he then occupied for s, , ssions before the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was a Member of that House.—(Hear, hear.) It was the Hon, and Learned Gentleman that had chosen o come over to him—(Cheers)—for himself he had no ecrets, and he, therefore, spoke tolerably loud ; but if the Hon.'and Learned Gentleman hail anything to whisper, he had better take care, since there was an enetny in the eattr(A - latigb.) For himself he was determined not to remove from his ie'at, unless his c nstituents should re move hint from the House.—(A laugh.) Sir H. HARDINGE would not complain of Hon.

It was by no means pleasant, when a Member was speaking, to be interrupted by a not courteous whisper close to his ear, which he was, at the moment, incapable of answering.— Ile wished, therefore, if the worthy Alderman must make objections, that he wood not remain sitting on that side, but would go over to his friends.

FRAUDULENT DEBTORS' BILL. Ltrd WYNFORD tmtv,(l the third reading of the Fraudulent Debtors' Bill. The Earl of FIFE opp d the third reading of the Bill at that time. lie would be the last man in the world to attempt to screen any one from paying his just debts, hut by this Bill debtors of all descriptions were to be put on the footing of trailers, and made lisble to the bank -upt laws, and that was an innovation which ought not be introduced without further inquiry and more deliberation. Many of those to whom the provisions of the Bill would apply were more unfortunate than unjust, and it would, in many cases, be an extreme hardship to deprive those debtors who went ahroad, or remained in prison, of the little means of existence left them. Tne Noble and Learned Lord had, on a former occasion, said that there were hundreds of English debtors Who lived luxuriously in prison, and abroad, and set their creditors at defiance, although they had the means to pay. But this was an exaggerated statement, and probably included many per sons who lived sparingly enough in prison, on a pittance which, if divid,d among a number of crodi•ors, would do them little service. It probably also included several of those who went abroad on account of the cheapness of living, without any intention to defraud their creditors; and it would be very hard on such persons to render themselves subject to the bankrupt laws. This measure would be of very little use to creditors, for in most cases the whole property of these unfortunate debtors would be wasted upon lawyers and members of the Bankruptcy Court. The measure would he a " slough of despond" for the debtors, without any benefit to the creditors. His Lord • ship compared the measure in respect of its consequences, to the cholera morbus and death, and expressed his hope that the Noble and Learned Lord would at least delay the second reading until the Lord Chancellor should have brought in his Bankruptcy Bills. If th e N o bl e an d Learned Lord would not abandon the measure altogether be hoped that he would at least alter it, and alloy the debtors a longer time to compound with their creditors. Lord PLUNKETT adverted to the clause which ap plied to debtors residing abroad, whose property was to be made subject to thit law within a eel tain time after notice left at their last place of abode, and an advertisement in.. serted in the Gazelle. This might answer very well with respect to persons going abroad to avoid payment of their debts, but it was rather hard on persons who had been already residing abroad.

Mr. O'CONNELL subscribed to the Society under the impression that it afforded equal facilities to education of children of both persuasions, but, finding that it pro ceeded under false colours, he denounced it to the public, and withdrew his name. The Catholics did not want to into - fire with the Protestants ; why should the latter de sire to meddle with the children of the former? He hoped the King's Government would put an end to this source of discord, and give a fair proportion of the money to Protestants, Catholics, and•others. Mr. NORTH denied that the Kildare-place Society ever made any attempt to deceive the public. Mr. GORDON ala) defended the Society. Mr. HUME observed that it was preposterous to force money upon Ireland for the purposes of a system of edu cation which affixed a stigma upon a large majority of the inhabitants of that country. It was an insult to the Ca tholics of Ireland, which he was astonished at their having endured so long. MAPS. UNDER THE SUPERINTENDENCE OF THE SOCIETY FOR THE DIFFUSION OF USEFUL KNOWLEDGE. IVO.

Dr. WILLIAM SINGER, Lord WY NFOR.b observed, that the clause would ap ply to such persons only as should be found, by a compe tent tribunal, to be remaining abroad for the purpose of avoiding their creditors. Thi s was no t a t a ll so severe on such persons as the process of outlawry; for there the property was sacrificed, and the debtor got no allowance, where an allowance would be made to the bank, opt. It ought to be recollected that the hardship was not so great as in the case of merchants of the most respectable class, who, it they remained ithroad one hour, in order to avoid their creditors, were lialde to have a docket struck against them. At the same time, if the Noble and Learned Lord had any doubt of the peopriety of this clause, he had no objection to allow some further time for consideration. lie proposed, therefore, that the third reading should be fixed for this day week ; which was ordered accordingly. Lord MELBOURNE gave notice that he would move the third reading of the Irish Lord Lieutenants of Counties' Bill to-morrow. Colonel TORRENS—Nothing could be more unjust than to call on Catholics to pay money for an education adverse to their own feelings and interests. Colonel CONOLLY briefly defended the Society. Mr. S. RICE recommended Hon.

Lord ALTHORP—The Hon. and Learned Gentleman might, if be pleased, by a fertility of imagination and fluency of expression—unprecedented, he believed, in that House—continue to obstruct their proceeding!, and to de lay the progress of the Bill ; but he must tell the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, that the people of England would know how to estimate such arguments, and to value such opposition.—(Cheer. from the Ministerial Benches.) The greater part of the speech of the lion. and Learned Mem ber was applicable purely to the principle of tile Bill, the remainder of the spuch had reference to the proceedings of the Committee; and he (Lord Althorn) certainly must say, it was the first time in his recollection that any gen tleman, after a Committee bad commenced its labours, took occasion to speak again on the question that the Com mittee should resume.—(Cheers.) The Hon. and Learn'ed Gentleman had, it was true, not made a long speech—for it lasted, only three•quarters of an hour—hut he hoped and trusted that none of the Hon. Gentlemen on his (Lord Althorp's) side of the House would protract the debate by replying to it.—(Cheers.) For his part, and that of his colleagues, be would say, that no provocation which their opponents could offer them would exhaust his patience or that of his friends, and he therefore begged to say, that he was determined not to enter into any further discus sion. —(Cheers.)

Lord KILLEEN said that there was great antipathy on the part of the people of Ireland to the Society; and therefore the erant to it was of no use. Mr. WYSE was able to state, in order to show - how little inclined the people were to avail themselves of thiY Society, thlt one of its schools was to he Teen with its doors shut, and the windows broken. The feeling was, that the Society did not act honestly towards the people of Ireland. The M,rquis of WESTMEATH presented a petition from an individual of the county of 'Westmeath, praying that the Fraudulent Debtors' Bill might be referred to the Common Law Commissioners.

On the motion that the SPEAKER leave the Chair, Mr. KNIGHT said, he should move in the Committee that the borough of Bishops' Castle be removed from Schedule A to Schedule B, on the ground that the number of its inhabitants exceeded 2,000.

Mr. HUNT presented a petition from certain inhabi tants of the parish of Marylebone, praying that the qua lification of a voter under the Reform 13i11 might not be the payment of rent, but the payment of taxes. Dir. EWART referred to what had passed on a former night regarding the borough of Liverpool. He had re ceived corntnunications from the Chairmen of the Com. mittees of Lord Sandon and Mr. Thornley, expressly and distinctly stating that no public-houses had been opened by them, and that no treating was allowed by them. Mr. WASON repeated hie declaration, that public houses were open at which treating took place, and he offered at his own expence to prove the fact at the bar. He admitted that the Members of the Committee on both sides were of the highest respectability, and added that he had never charged them with encouraging treating. Mr. E. DENISON bore testimony to the high charac ter of the Committees on both sides. Mr. J. WOOD had also received a letter, denying that any treating was practised. He bad not the slightest re spect for the freemen of Liverpool, who were only not guilty at the last eh.ction because they had, as it were, a rope round their necks, and because the contest ter minated so soon. Mr. HUNT had received a letter to the same effect. It would he the height of injustice to disfranchise such a place as East Retford and to allow the corrupt electors of Liverpool to escape unpunished. Mr. EWART was again rising to address the House, when Sir J. NEWPORT spoke to order, on the ground that the petition and the discussion had no relation. The SPEAKER slid, that though not . closely related, they were somewhat akin. CORN LAWS. Mr. HUNT presented a petition from Bolton, for the repeal of the Corn Laws. He remarked, that it was much more important to the poor to have cheap bread than to have the Reform Bill passed. Mr. WILKES presented a petition from the Protestant Dissenters of Boston, in favour of the Reform Bill. Mr. ROGERS presented a petition from Bishops' Castle, praying that that borough might not be included in Schedule A of the Reform Bill. Mr. RUSSELL presented a petition from Thirsk, praying to be allowed to continue to return two Members to Parliament. BEER BILL. Lord BELGRAVE presented a petition from the Grand Jury of Cheshire, against the Beer 13ill. Mr..l. WOOD presented a petition from certain inha bitants of Truro, complaining that they had been unjustly deprived of their right of voting at the last election. The SPEAKER was of opinion that it was su election petition, and, after some conversation between the Chair and Mr. J. Woon, the petition was withdrawn. Mr. J. WOOD also presented a petition from Chorley, praying for vote by ballot, annual Parliaments, and uni versal suffrage.—Also a petition from the members of the Manchester Political Union, against the clause in the Re form Bill requiring the payment of rent half-yearly. The Hon. Gentlema❑ had been unable to present the petition until the clause to which it related had been - withdrawn by Ministers. After a few remarks from Mr. HUNT, Mr. CAMPBELL, and Slr. O'CONNELL, the petition was laid upon the table. Mr. J. WOOD presented a petition from the retailers of beer in Ashton-under-Lyne, praying that they be al lowed to keep their houses open during the same bouts with licensed victuallers. The same Hon. Member pre sented a petition from the township of Ilaslemere, for al tering. the law of tithes. Mr. R. FERGUSSON moved for an account of stamp duties received in Ireland on account of marine insurances during the last year; also for an account of the sums ad vanced out of the Consolidated Fund by the Irish Loa❑ Commissioners, with the rate of interest thereon, and the amount of each individual loan. Mr. DIXON presented a petition from Glasgow against the tax on marine insurance. Mr. MARSHALL presented a petition from the soap Colonel LINDSAY rose to complain of a misrepresenta tion in the report of his speech, as it appeared in the Tithes of that morning. The expression there made use of was, " He defended the existence of close boroughs, on the ground of their forming one of the most ancient parts of our representative system." What he had said was, that the Noble Lord had clearly made it appear that close boroughs existed coeval with the earliest periods of the Constitution, and that therefore the plan now proposed was not a restoration of that Constitution, but a com pletely new Constitution. Mr. CROKER—An Hon. Gentleman had informed Lim that a great number of the returns under the present census had reached the Home Office, and he thought that they ought to be communicated to the House. He, there fore, trusted that the Hon. Gentleman would take as early an opportunity as possible of submitting them to the House. Lord J. RUSSELL said they would be brought forward as soon as possible. Sir H. HARDINGE understood the whole of the do cuments with respect to the English population were in the Home Office; and lie should therefore be glad to know what was wanting.—(Lord John Russell said something across the table, which was inaudible.) Well, then, he had another question to ask. With respect to the borough which he represented, he much doubted the principle of the Noble Lord. Ile should, therefore, be glad to hear whetter it would be competent for hi:n to move for the hearing, not of Counsel, but of evidence. He conceived that it would be most unjust for the House tss decide upon the merits of any particular borough without allowing such a course.--(Hear.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL, with regard to the popula tion returns, did 'not know how many were ready ; but this wLs not the foundation, he begged to observe, on which the Bill proceeded.—(Hear, hear.) He, however, had n o objection to their being produced ; but it should be remembered that the Reform Bill was founded on a census taken at a time when those who made the returns could not have made them for the express purpose of saving their borough from disfranchisement.—(Cheers.) With regard to the second question, whether evidence would be ad mitted, it was quite impossible to give an answer, till the House, in Committee, was informed what points it was sa re id qu i i i r e e. e i7b id ut n l?e t say such a case s p :, r eo o u i t t i o hd s e e ni d ,or t t o o tt, aa make eittoy oouhfti .many fe e vp l i o i d a se d int ic a ve l e r ib e y a e c i li- og might not arise. Sir H. BARDINGE rose amid cties of " spoke !" He was sorry to hear the Noble Lord utter a libel against all the returning officers thioughout the kingdom.— (Cheers.) And what was the excuse of the Noble Lord ? It wa s this—[Here an Hun. Member attracted the Right Hon. Gentleman's attention by making some ob serva ti ons , w hi c h were inaudibl e i n the gallery.] He objected to ge ntlemen interrupting him by speaking of trickery.— (L o tO cries of " spoke.") • Sir E. SUGDEN would ask the Noble Lord whether h e bad always adhered to the census of 1821 ? Let hint l oo k at his own Bill, and he would find that he had not ; b e would find that he had over and over again diverged f ro m it.—(lleac, hear, and a cry of " no.") He said yes h e had ; and having done so, he could not now stand a t the census of 1621. The only way to meet the justice o f the case would be to give the House the census of 1831, a nd if it was wrong, let it be corrected.—(Hear hear, ac companied with some observations from a Member seated behind the Hon. and Learned Gentleman.) He thought that be had a great right to complain of the gentlemen w h o chose to take their seats on that side of the House, when they were in favour of the Bill ; to use the express (don of the Hon. Member for Middlesex, they were ene mies in the camp ; and he was frequently prevented that confidential communication with his friends which he had Hardinge)SA-lli'H c d o id uld n e o vc t :me s n e i e lea. h in ow of w t a r ight to have, from finding such Gentlemen on his right hand and his left. He thought that it would be fair re venge for half a dozen of the Anti-Reformers to take their seats on the Ministerial aide of the House.—(Hear. Mr. V. o t b G I e e General had said of the returning officers, when he had said of e iat G th a e lla N n ttonh reachmet iri i e tt l e : l r o eo u ug g ga h h : l e rno whicht t trust he e is represented,ta t e - GE said but a few words in explana tion, to n sn , s iot e ruw, l l i giiiill t ti.i h the a hitir t o:l t isti l ipß i da e evDcn C etol o oNtt Lord JOHN RUS SELL—There c were various ways in Mr. C. W. WYNN thought, on the principle of the Bill, that it would be most desirable to ascertain the popu lation at the present time. Mr. JOHN WOOD said, that the Right Hon. Gentle man did not appear to be aware, that if they took the census of IS3I, it might be necessary to alter the standard on which the Bill was forme I. It was necessary to dis franchise a certain number of boroughs to make way for the large towns, and if the popul ttion should have increased much since 1821, and they were to take the census of 1831, preserving the standard adopted in the Bill, the whole measure might be destroyed. What he supposed to be necessary was, to adopt a scale of proportionate popu lation, and that could be done by one census as well a+ another. In fact, if they adopted the census of 1831 they would cause a great deal of trickery, and might he much duped. There would be a temptation for returning officers to make false returns, and a temptation to procure them. The returning officers were, he believed, obliged to insert in their returns all the persons who had slept for a few nights in a place, and he had heard of one borough in Lancashire—and he believed that he should be able to sub stantiate the fact hereafter—into which 300 male adults bad been brought to sleep for a few nights, that they might be returned as a part of the population. No such in stances could be proved under the population returns of 1871. He believed, at present, that such instances would not be singular, and that there would be several boroughs which would endeavour by such means to escape disfranchisement. Captain HARRIS, as the representative of Grimsby, wished to call the attention of the House to a document which 'he held in his hand, signed by the Minister and Churchwardens of that place, an authentic copy of which he knew had been placed in the hands of the Ministers, and which would clearly prove to the House that Grimsby was entitled to retain its two representatives. That do cument set forth that the number of inhabited houses in Grimsby was 743, and in the village and sake 31, making 774. The uninhabited houses in the town were 47, and in the hamhts one. There were five houses building, making altogether 527 houses. The number of families in the borough was 791, in soke 31, making 822. The inhabitants of the borough amounted to 4,048, and those of the hamlets and soke 177, making a total of 4,225. Grimsby had more than 4,000 inhabitants, and was en titled, by the principles of the Bill, to be left out of schedule B, and to retain its two Members. She had a right—(A laugh)—she—(A laugh)—had a privilege, she—(Anothrr laugh)—could claim that—(Continued laughter.) Well, then, he would say it—the borough had had the elective franchise time out of mind, and had a right now to retain two Members. The Hon. Members who laughed on the other side might, perhaps, when they heard him to the end, laugh on the other side of their faces.—(Much laughter.) Many of the boroughs in former times bad refused to send 'Members to Parliament, or had supplicated to be excused from the burden ; but this Grimsby had never done; she had never flinched— (Renewed laughter)—and she ought now to have two Members.--(More laughter.) He denied that Grimsby was a nominee borough, and be had shown that it would be as great an act of injustice as ever was done to retain it i❑ schedule B. Mr. C. WOOD slid, that the number of 2000 and 1000, which were the exclusions of disfranchisement, referred to the last census and must be adhered to, unless the whole Bill was to be destroyed. The line had been drawn by Ministers, after much deliberation, for the purpose of making room for the Members of the new towns which had grown up. The Hon. 31ember quoted a passage from Lord Durham's speech during the last Parliament to illus trate this fact, and to show that a great many more bo roughs would have been disfranchised, or that several avowedly nomination boroughs would have escaped, had the line been drawn from any other point. He contended, then, that the population returns of 1821 having been adopted, must be adhered to. As to the population re turns of 1831 being ready before the Bill went to the other House, be would only remind Hon. Members that the census of 1821 was not laid on the table of the House of Commons till July, 1822. If that objection to the motion for leaving the chair were urged, he could only suppose that it was done to delay a measure which had been received with satisfaction by the House and the country.—(Hear, hear.) Sir C. WETHERELL wanted to know what evidence they were to have to satisfy the House of Commons and the public of the propriety of the great measure they were called on to adopt. They were to rely, it seemed, on the census of 1821, which was liable to blunders—which the Ministers themselves had admitted to be full of blunders; some of them they had corrected, but they had inflicted mistakes on the House. Thera were many other mistakes which they had not corrected, so that they gave the House the census of 1821, with their own corrections, made at the present time, they adopting, too, in part, that present enumeration which they denied to the House. They had laid on the table what they called copies of further informa tion, and when the Noble Lord was asked who was the author, the Noble Lord did not know, or he would not tell. These copies reminded him of " Dodsley's Collec tion of Fugitive Pieces," Were they to proceed to legis late on information furnished by nameless authority, and on this anonymous authority of an unauthorised publica tion to disfranchise the boroughs of England. Take the case of Ciinc—there was a great alteration in that place between 1801 and 1811, and he found at the bottom of the Population Returns of 1821, a note, which said that a great alteration had taken place in that borough in con sequence of the woollen manufacture in that neighbour hood, which had been seated there, having gradually gone to decay. Now that fact was a good and sufficient cause for inquiring into the case of Caine and other boroughs; and was it nut a great mockery, a most unusual degrada tion, a most absurd and insulting proceeding, that a bo rough which had not 2,000, was to be wholly disfran chised, and a borough which had not 4,000 men was to lose one Member, without those facts being substantiated ? The Bill proceeded on assumed facts; as there was no evidence before the House to prove those facts, and he wanted to know how the House of Commons were to be satisfied that they were facts, he called fur an answer. He found the Ministers asserting certain things as facts. lie wished to know how they got those facts. They had nut heard evidence ; they would not hear evidence—they confined the House of Commons to the trash of fur ther information, to Vie gasconading collection, that was of no more authority than " Dodsley's Col lection of Fugitive Pieces." To suppose that the Parliament was to bz reformed on such informa- Sir ROBERT PEEL could not avoid expressing sur prise at the language of the Noble Lord.—(Cheers.) He did not hear his Honourable and Learned Fi iend (Sir Charles Wetherell), in any part of his speech, discuss the principle of the Bill.—(llear, hear, hear.) His Honourable and Learned Friend's observations had a direst reference to the matter now before the House, and he bad put questions of great importance to the Government, which the Noble Lord, he must say, had pointedly evaded—(Cheers from the Opposition.) The Hon. and Learned Gentleman had asked fur infor mation on the subjsct of that Bill which makes popula tion the test of disfranchisement. He had asked what evidence they possessed on the subject of that population, and the Noble Lord had not thought proper to answer him.—( Hear.) The Noble Lord says that be appeals to the people of England.—(Cheers.) When the Noble Lord makes that appeal with so much confidence, the people of England may perchance reply by asking themselves a question of the Noble Lord.—(Hear.) They may ask whether it is fitting that the population is to be the test of disfranchisement, when the Government take the po pulation, not as it exists at present, but as it was stated to be ten years ago.—(Cheers.) The Noble Lord might answer his Learned Friend or not, as he pleased. It un doubtedly was in his power to refuse to do so, but the absence of the answer would be well understood.—(llear, hear.) It was his (Sir R. Peel's) decided impression that the Government were unable to answer—(Cheers)—that they did not possess the power to give an answer.— (Cheers.) He hoped, however, that the Learned Gen tleman would consider well before he moved for the infor mation he required. If the test of population be adopted, it was undoubtedly necessary that the returns should be correct; but he thought it expedient to avoid taking any steps at present which would seem to recognize the fact that population was to be the test. if he (Sir Robert Peel) thought that by voting for the more accurate infor mation required by his Honourable Friend, he should, at the same time, be admitting population to be the test of disfranchisement, undoubtedly he would vote against his Honourable and Learned Friend's motion. If, however, a majority of that House came to the deter mination that population was to be the test, it would then be a question for their most serious consideration whether they were to take as their test the old returns of 1821, or those which they were to be in possession of in the course of the next fortnight.—(Cheers.) Could the House possibly forget what they had heard that night on the subject of the Returns ? Could they forget that the Hon. Member for Preston (Mr. John Wood) had told them the returns for 1831 were not to be depended on, because he knew that tricks had been practised to increase the numbers in particular places; and that in one borough with which he was acquainted, 300 persons had slept the night before the return was made, in order to bring it within the rule ?—( Hear.) So, by this argument, if from any accident the population of a borough was in creased ; if the stage coach happened to break down, and six persons more than ordinary slept in the borough of Malan), that was to save it from disfranchisement—(Loud cheers and laughter)—or if a great fight happened to take place in the vicinity of a particular town on the day of the return, that was to determine the point of disfranchise ment. And yet, in the midst of all these difficulties and Ibiurdities, they were called on to take the population returns as a method of determining the right to exercise the elective franchise.—(Hear.) Nothing, he appre hended, could well lie more absurd. It reminded him of an academical absurdity which was probably familiar to the House, that if the height of the mast and the name of the vessel was swed, it would determine the length of the voyage. Now he would ask the Government to answer him this question—lf your object be to put an end to the nomination boroughs—and you have declared that it is your principal object—why is it that you permit these no mination boroughs to retain one of the Members—(Hear) —because they have a fraction above 2,000 inhabitants ? If you wish to destroy all nominations and corrupt in fluence, as you ray, why do you not take away their Mem bers altogether, instead of permitting them to retain one ? But then it would probably be said that they were about to call in a new constituency. Why it might happen, and in many places he believed would happen, that a gre iter number of 101. householders were to be found in boroughs which did not come within the line of 2,000cL11; tban in boroughs whirl, possessed more th an fallacious e r i required i naturered 4,ooo.—(Hear, showedwhil.hhinthye. re quired to proceed,..—(Hear.) 1.
