1/166 perfectly aware that the right boo. baronet had given
the um oat .-onsideratiou to this CA3O but his reply to the
. question which had been put 'to him the other
evening had led to very penal disappointment.
He would venture to aak the right hon. baronet why
these establishments should not be Rimed under proper
regulations as to home, and as to registration and lupe:-
tion, as the law now provided in the case of factories, mines,
and even of bakehouses, with regard to which there was a
Dulled on the paper that evening. He would fu
her oak
whether, if the government were out prepared introduu
legislation on this subject, they would give their support to
a bill for defioing and limiting the hours of labour, and regu-
lating and inspecting workroom', alike in the interests of
humanity ufor the sake of sanitary precaution. (Hsu.)
Mr. BAGWELL observed that a letter had lately ap-
peared from Mr. Isaacson, who it seemed was the husband
of Madame Elite, in which it was stated that this unfor-
tunate young woman was an apprentice. He begged to ash
the right bon. baronet whether the government were pre-
pared to institute any proceedings with a view of punishing
Ye guilty parties in this matter.
dir 0. GREY stud, in reply to the first part of his hoc.
friend's (Mr. llawsou's) question, he feared he must repeat
the answer which he gave the other night, when he was
asked whether it was possible to register workrooms which
were carried on, not in public buildings devoted to particu-
lar manufactures, bat is rooms forming parts of private
houses. He then stated that be was not pre-
=, on the part of the government, however
thleit might be, to take steps to prevent the recurrence
of evils such as these—to state that it was possible to apply
a system of registration and inspection to workrooms form-
ing parte of private houses. With respect to the second
part of the question, he could not promise support to any
bill introduced by a private member until he saw what its
provisions were ; but if any hon. member were to prepare
such a bill, he (Sir G. Grey) most certainly would =poem
in its introduction. In reply to the question of his bon.
friend as to whether the government were prepared to insti-
tute proceedings on the ground of this young woman
being an apprentice within the meaning of the act, he (Sir
G. Grey) could only say the question was whether there was
sufileient evideoce to go to a jury with any chance of ob.
taming a conviction. By the act masters and mistreson who
wilfully neglected to provide sufficient food, clothing, and
lodging for their servants and apprenticed were liable to be
indicted, and if found guilty to be severely punished. This
was a matter of evideoee, and he really wu not sufficiently
acquainted with the evidence to say whether there was a
reasonable prospect of • conviction or not.
Mr. BAGWELL asked if the right boa. baronet would
make inquiries on the point?
No answer was returned to this question.
THE MHOW OOUBT-MARTIAL.

In answer to Mr. CONTIIGHLII and Mr. Enirrocg,
The Marquis of HAIITINGTON said that no such letter
or memorsodum, embodying the opinion of the commaoder-
inmhief on the Mhow court.martial, had been issued. He
was not aware that there was any precedent for holding •
toortmartial on Colonel Crawley in England, but he did not
think such a course involved any reflection on the officers in
command and serving in India.
Mr. DLSRAELI inquired who was to bear the expense of
cioaducting the court-martial at home, which would be
large, and some explanation was required as to whether it
was to fall on tie public.
Sir G. GREY said that an officer brought to trial was
considered on duty, and be would expect his expenses to be
Paid-
Sir DE LACY EVANS said the country would not be
istaisfled unless the trial took place at home. He thought
the 6th Dragoons should be ordered home.
Mr. BOUVERIE wished distinctly to know whether or
not • communication had best addressed by the Commander-
in-Chief to Sir Hugh Rose, modifying the memorandum he
had Mined.
Mr. BEN'TLNCIC said that ordering home the regiment
would be only putting a premium on misconduct He did
not think justice would be done, looking to the witnesses
who must be celled, by a trial at home.
Mr. HUNT asked if any native witnesses were to be
examined, and if they would be brought over to this country.
The Marquis of HARTINGTON could not answer that
question. There was no official memorandum whatever bat
that which had been made public.
RELIGIOUS ENDOWMENTS DT IRELAND.
The O'DONOGHUE asked the hon. member for SWAMIS
what course he intended to take with regard to the ad-
journed debate on his motion respecting the church of
Ireland. The government having refused to give him a day
far resuming that discussion, he submitted to the boo.
member that it would be better for him to withdraw his
motion, and allow that of the hon. member for Liakesrd,
which stood on the paper for to-morrow, to proceed.
Mr. DILLWYN assented to the arrangement suggested,
and
The motion for the adjournment of the house having been
wptived,
DILLWYN moved that the order of the day for the
adjourned debate on the Church Endowments in Irelstad be
lacharged.
The order was accordingly discharged.
THE BRAZILIAN DIFFICULTY.

Mr. BRIGHT asked whether the government would lay
ow the table the came submitted to the King of the Belgians
in regard to the difference with Brazil, and also a copy of the
award which him Majesty had made.
Mr. LAVABO maid the award was only received yester-
day. It would be printed at nose, and laid on the table.

in the presence of from 15 to 20 members. The vote was
ultimately agreed to, as were also several others for civil
establishmetais in. the West Indies, ma the coin of Africa,
