Island and the adjacent territory would be occupied by
a large, industrious, and flourishing population.
Mr. Hussman warned Sir E. Lytton that, if he wished
to stop the introduetion of Lyneli law into the colony,
he must introduce civil law, and that could only be done
by the aid of a strong body of soldiers.
After a few remarks by Mr. A. MILLS and Mr.
WV Li),
Mr. ELLICE thought the Bill would very will answer
the purpoee In view ; but he begged the House not to be
led away by the Idea of the facility of the operation, or
that the colony could be ulf•supportlng.
Mr. CHRIST? spoke In favour of the Bill, though he

Lord NAAS, in moving the second reeding of the
Polioe Force (Ireland) Bill, took the opportunity of
endeavouring to correct many misapprehensions and
misstatements whith, he wad, Aziteed as to the object
end principles of this Bill. Ile proceeded to show that
the objections offered to it were utterly untenable and
without foundation, And to point out the advent/4es, in•
eluding reduction of local dardens, which will result
from the smalgaination of the two foroeso the Dublin
metropolitan police force with the constabulary, which
was the object of the measure.
Mr. P. O'Bitiew opposed the sill, and moved to defer
the second reading for three mouths.
Upon a division, the amendment was negatived by
126 to 66, and the Bill was read a sound time.

Upon the question that the Bill be committed, the
cppoaition to its process was renewed by Mr. (kiosk,
Mr. BOWS% and Me. P. O'BRIEN.
Mr. GROGAN supported the Bill, which was opposed
by
Mr. J. FITZGERALD, who objected that the Oetl•
atabulary was a military force, not calculated to per-
form the office of police in the metropolitan districts,
and, disputing the details given by Lord NW, he pro.
tested against forcing on this Bill at so late • period of
the session, and against sweeping away an efficient force
because it was largely Roman Catholic.
Mr. WHITICSIDe replied to Mr. Fitzgerald, and insisted
upon the absurdity of keeping up a separate police es-
tablishment at Dublin, excluding the constabulary,
which was the police of the rest of the county.
After • long discussion, which acquired some degree of
acrimony from the introduction into It of an extract of a
letter from one of the Commissioners of the Dubin
Police, the debate was adjourned.
Other Bills were forwarded a stage, and the roman-
Mg business having been disposed of, the House ad-
journed at 2 o'clock,
