In the House of Loots. June 21, Lord Cairns moved the
mend reading of the Moiled Wometes Property Bill, will is

their loinlshipee attention to the very marked difference there
was between the upper and the lower chases of society in
the matter of the protection of women mid their property.
The providera of tide hill were without objection, although
some of them might require consideration, and he expected
that the reselta or this legislation would be satisfactory.
Lori Penzance, admitting that some legislation was
beceseary, contended that the idil went far beyond the
imesesitioa et the case, and would produce more evil than
good.
Lord Westbury opposed the bill, as an entire onbversion

and hardships requiring redress, and he pointed out how
they sould he corrected, without going to the extravagant
length of this bill.
Lord Eomilly urged their lordships to read the bill a
secend time and refer it to a Select C immittee.
Lord Shedtesbury worm' y ineist -d on the necessity of pro-
tecting the women of the working classes in the enjoyment
of their earnings, the protection orders having been found
wholly insufficient. Special legislation was therefore
urgently required, but the hill subverted the whole condi-
Mons of married life, and required ame.eiment.
The Lord Chanceller supported the second reading on the
pro .Ind that the hardship, suffered by women of the poorer
eta. es cried out for immediate redress. Lie pointed out the
Weans of amending the hill upstairs, so that it might pars
daring the present Session.
Lord Lyveden said they were all agreed that the earnings
of married women should be protected, and recommended
that the isfil should he restricted to this object.
The Linke of Cieveland concurred in this recommendation.
