ARREST OF DEBTORS LEAVING THE COUN
Lord BROUGHAM in presenting petitions from the
societies for the protection of trade, at Hull, Liverpool, and
Preston, begged to call the attention of the house, and espe-
cially of his noble and !clime I friends, to their prayer. They
were ell addressed to the some important subject, contained
the same statement of facts. and recommended the same re-
medy. The act whir \ abolished imprisonment fur debt on
mean process, in 183 d, and the two bills to which he had
obtained the concurrence of parliament in 1844 and 1845,
were referred to, and it was complained that they
were all defective in one particular. They gave this
power of ass-toting any debtor who was about
to leave the country, but they gave it only on
application to • judge in Westminster Hall. It was
therefore urged that this power should be lodged in the
bends of local judges, which would prevent the veer city
which now existed of any one putting the act in forth coming
to London.

.
Lord CAMPBELL said that at the time this bill pained
there wis a difficulty in fixing oa any subordinate officer to
whom this power should be given. Ile hoped it would be
given to the
:iodine of the county marts.
hIhSSAGE FROM E COMMONS.

A message from the Rouse of Commo; vsiWisri;ght up by
Mr, Hume and others, praying their lordship* to grant them
the minutes of evidence taken before a *elect committee of
their lordship on the Charitable Trusts' Bill,

Aketl.olll4 AGAINST MAGIBULATES.
'EGA YORT then rose to bring before their Medi
ships' notice the petition of John Sweetland, and George
Savage Curteis, Esqrv., magistrates of the county Down,
complaining of law expenses unjustly incurred in the exe-
cution of their magisterial duties. As far as the noble earl
coshd be heard, he was understood to say that the petitioners
in 1843 had convicted one Joseph Stanton, a toll collector,
of some offence, and fined him 5/. That an action was
brought against them, which had been tried, and a verdict
found for the plaintiff. They moved for a new trial ; oa
the occasion of that trial a verdict was found for them, the
defendants.'"'He hoped that some means would be found to
relieve magistrates from such responsibilities.
ARMY SERYIOE BILL.
_ _

On the motion of Earl Gary the bill was read a first
time. The noble earl then fixed the second reading for
Tuesday next.
Lord STANLEY hoped the second reading would be post-
, poned beyond t►at day. The principle of the bill was
ob-
jeeted to by many high authorities on the subject, and it was
scarcely consistent with fairness that the bill should be
read a second time only three days after it was laid en the
table.
. . . .

EarIGREY only wialted the second reading to take place
on Tuesday in order that the discussion might take place
before the royal went was given to the Mutiny bill, which
would be on Friday. It was desirable that this bill should
be read a second 6010 before the Mutiny bill left the house.
However be would fix it for Tuesday week.
After a few words from the Earl of Etie.hinottoooft,
which were inaudible in the gallery,
The Duke of WELLINGTON was understood to recem-
mend, that its the Mutiny bill contained enactments bearing
upon the Service bill, and as it was necessary that the
passing of the former should not be delayed beyond
Friday, the discussion upon both measures should be taken
together.
Lord STANLEY was anxious that it should be diatinetly
understood, that by passing the Mutiny bill as it now stood
the house should not be debarred from discussing the prin.
eiple of the proposed limited Enlistment bill.
After some further conversation Earl GREY fixed the
second reading of the Army Service bill for Monday week,
and their lordship: adjourned at 6 o'clock.
