C OMBINATION OF WORKMEN BILL. i t ; °r ti KINNAIRD, in moving the second read sith° i ll this bill, explained that its object was h a llY to explain the law of combination, which tiC, s cen variously interpreted by the legal autho the-°' , The bill had been carefully considered in , house, and considering the great anxiety 611 0 c prevail e d amongst the working classes on this hdect, and considering also the good conduct which y c haracterised that class during the last few as an ' he thought their lordships ought to pass the bill cli a ll a ct of justice. It did not in any way alter or i lige the law, but simply placed the scope and mean °s• of existing acts beyond all doubt, and as a matter I,Pediency it was right that the bill should be passed. ll TRURO readily admitted that the law ought to bp: ll4 de as clear and distinct as they could well make it ; 4, as for th e necessity o f ex pl a ining the existing • of combinations, he for one felt that there 10 :1 7 ,,, i , n ctie whatever . This bill contained provisions ab i " might lead to considerable misapprehe nsion and t o —e, and their lordships should be cautious how they billsanction to them. u . he LORD CHANCELLOR felt persuaded that the carried, would do harm to the parties whom it all • intended to benefit. He entertained no doubt at about the meaning of the existing law, and it was N at sufficient to accomplish all that the bill contem to ccl • The bill was intended. to enable workmen b- Promote combinations amongst their own body, pznYetelceable persuasion.

Now they had strikes enough itself e Y ee ; , irl deed they had seen the House of Commons izrtpoerti_gchetd by a strike ; and he thought no encourage- Lord zuasiri c !:e afforded to such systems of " peace . Nvtv,lioartk. the KINNAIRD said the masters who combined Were protected by the law, and it was somewhat hard Mine protection should not be extended to the Working classes. The present was certainly an inoppor e time for bringing forward such a measure, but it would 1 , a great di sappointment if their lordships re j ected the 'asure. It would be hopeless, however, for him to ii t ,' t `ggle against the feeling of the house, and he would 4 therefore, press it t o a di v i s i on.

They were told, indeed, that the bill was th"ded upon a resolution passed by the company, but di: had no information as to how the resolution was, l th e pro d or carried. They did not know whethera 1 ili,,'?proprietors entitled to vote agreed to it ; if they t of course there would be an end to his opposition, ilPen these points the house was as yet entirely in the dark aikitb,t. 'JEN-LEY suggested that the bill should be sent l the select committee, with instructions especi to ally ?Pert the proportions of proprietors who assented e 8 l. It was true the bill did not create a l ' 17 ewer,P but it created new powers and new objects, a "u eh company were to carry out : and before such c hange as that could be made in the constitution of the iia..4lPalas, the house ought to be satisfied that it had been iiieti!)ned by the great majority of the proprietors. f, , e e . b ill was, however, objectionabl e on other grounds ; Iv .i.nstnce, it extended the principle of limited liability, pa in aortic of the clauses were so framed that the corn al could hold lands, a power which Parliament had `;',!!'YEI refused to confer upon joint-stock companies. falthe SOLICITOR -GENERAL insisted that it was a Which"eY to suppose that this bill could not pass without hetth ee of every individual proprietor. The object for company was originally established had been ac 7rriPlithed, and the company was now virtually dissolved. have''waa only fair, therefore, that the company should the power of applying their funds to uses of present public advantage, and considering that the assent of the PrePrietors had been given to the bill in the u sua l friolrauner, h e thought the opposition was quite uncalled -‘lr. CARDWELL had exaltined the pr ov i s i ons of this bill and he 114 d no doubt whatever as to its exp o . (144 % or as to the necessity for pasting it. The policy which the bill enunciated was approved of by the majo rity of the company, and the reason it was not investi gated by a public committee was 'simply that the forms of the house required that it should be a pri vate bill. Being unopposed, it was referred to the Chairman of Committees, who thoroughly exa mined its provisions, and reported it as unobjection able. Whence, then, arose this opposition ? The bill had been approved of by the company in public meeting assembled, and since the supposed absence of the con sent of the proprietors was the present ground of oppo sition, he thought the house ought to experience no dif ficulty in passing the measure. The amendment was negatived without a division, and the bill was read a third time and passed. STANDING ORDERS REVISION COMMITTEE. On the order of the day for the consideration of the report of this committee, Mr. W. PATTEN called the attention of the house to the report, and, in accordance with its recommenda tions, moved the insertion of certain amendments in the standing orders, which were agreed to. PILOTAGE BILL. The house then went into committee upon this bill. On clause 10, Mr. HORSFALL moved, after the words " mate in lines 32, 35, and 39, to insert " of any coasting ship or vessel." He objected to the principle of centralisa tion established by the clause, and said the effect of the amendment would be to limit the granting of licenses by the Board of Trade exempting masters and mates from taking pilots to coasting vessels and steamers. The banks and sands of the Mersey and other ports were constantly shifting, and it was impossible that a master or mate who had been absent on a voyage for several months could properly or safely discharge the duties of a pilot. The local authorities at Liverpool were entirely opposed to the clause. Mr. CARDWELL said the clause was intended to have a general and a local effect. Some thought it went too far, others that it did not go far enoug, and e- tween the two he thought it would be better h to ad pt it as it now stood. opposed the clause, and instanced Captain SCOBEL L o pp the danger of giving indiscriminately to masters and mates a license to pilot their own vessels. Mr. CAIRNS supported the clause. Mr. LIDDELL considered that the tendency of the clause would be to impair the pilot service of the country. Mr. GEORGE supported the clause, believing that the charges under the existing piloting system were most exorbitant. Mr. HENLEY should not oppose the clause, but' thought it invested a rather dangerous power in the Board of Trade. The amendment was then withdrawn. Captain SCOBELL moved to add at the end of the clause, "Provided always that such master or mate so certified shall not be a foreigner." Mr. CARD WELL opposed the amendment. The amendment was withdrawn, and the clause was agreed to. The remaining and several new clauses were agreed to, the house resumed, and the bill was ordered to be reported this evening, in order that it might be read a third time on Monday. CUSTOMS ACTS CONSOLIDATION BILL. This bill went through committee, and was ordered to be reported this evening. BETTING-HOUSES BILL. The report upon the a mendments to this bill was con sidered and agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be read a third time on Monday. The hcuse adjourned at 4 o'clock.
