TICKET-OF-LEAVE YEN.-THE FORDINGERLDGE
______

irU ID FR

-----
The Earl of MALNESBITRY requested his noble Mead
(Earl Granville) to inquire whether there would be say
oojection to lay before their lordships any correspondence
that might have taken place in reference to ► convict of the
name of Gilbert, who had obtained a ticket-of-leave, and
who had since committed a murder, of which he bad re-
cently been convicted. There was a strong feeling in that
part of the country where the murder took place that this
man, who had been previously convicted of • number of
crimes, including rape and burglary, ought never to have
been allowed to go at large. He hoped his noble friend
would cause some inquiry to be made on the subject.
Earl GRANVILLE wee not acquainted with the circum-
stances of the case, but would make inquiries.
Their lordships adjourned at a quarter to 6 o'clock.

ADMISSION OF SALT INTO FRANCS.

112 reply to Mr. LAIRD,

Mr. LAYARD said it was au understanding with the
French government that the question of the admission of
English salt into France should be regulated by the tariff
to be appended to the treaty between Belgium and France.
That, however, foil through. It was then hoped the
question would be settled in the tariff to be appended to
the treaty between Frahm and the ZoUremia. That treaty
was not yet concluded, but her Majesty's government were
very anxious in the matter, and instructions had been sent
to Lord Cowley to ems the subject upon the attention of
the French government.
ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANIES.

Lord A. CHURCHILL asked the President of the Board
of Trade if it was the intention of her majesty's government
to lay upoa the table of the house a bill regulating powers
at existing electric telegraph companies over public roads.

- - .
Yr. M. GIBBON replied that the government had pe-
pared a bill on the subject, but as there was no chance of
iissasing it daring the present union there would be no
utility in introducing it until ma early period next scesion.
