THE PUBLIC-HOUSES CLOSING ACT (1864).
Mr. 00X moved for lam to bring in a bill to amend the
add the 27 and 28 Vie., chap. 64, commonly called the
Pablio-leoness Closing Act, 1864." He did sot propose
to make any violent siteratioa. but simply to *stood the
operslion of the sth dame d the act, which provided for
'had been mde to Sir Richard tor Lthe'stea aPliostesilatro:
houses of refreshment in Oonat-garden, but he did not
think that lashed poweruader the slam to great these. The
geetleama ea the morning newspapers had made a
dither morphothion to the Commissioner of the City Pollee
sad the Lord Mayors but with so better swan What he
now proposed was that die Oononimionse of the Metropolitan
Polies, with the meat of the Home teary, in the use
case, and the Commissioner of the City Pace, with the
smut of the Lord Mayor, Sc the other, should have the
power of panting ocreammal cw special licenses to meet the
wants of the penises be had mentioned, and he beamed
that if his bill were pawed it would remove the grievances
to which the set had gives ries.
Si G. OBEY said it was cot his intention to offer say
opposition to the introduction of this bill. but in mos.
quesseeof the statement which bad bees made be wished to
offer a few observation as to the nineties of the set of
last jeer. The disorder which prevailed in coasequenoe of
pubbodsouess being kept open to a late hour was wenn-
nosed, sad by no mans emased to the immediate angle
boorhood of the Haymarket. The act was mole to heeled,
all the other parts of the metropolis, sad many of the large
towns of the kingdom had brought the act to bear upon
those limed persons who would keep open their homes
till a very late hour, and avail themselves of the copper.
tuaity of making mosey without any regard to the moral
mesas by which that money wee obtained. Daring the
time that the set was passing through parliament
no opposition was made to its provisions by the beet
ocaducted licensed vietuallese—(bear, hear)—and the open-
lion of the act had been most beneficial to the licensed
houses throughout the metropolis, and that was not con-
fined to Leedom, for many of the large towns bad adopted
the provision of the sot, end ample evidences could be ob-
tained of the immense advantages which had followed from
its operation. He merely mentioned that to show the beam
what had been the effect of the act, and in order that the
bill might be duly considered before any inroad were made
upon the sot. The hon. member had complained that the
refreshment home wen included in the act, but if this
had not been done the whole benefit of the act would have
been lost, for than parties would have taken out other
licensee and would have kept their houses open
during the prohibited hours. It wee clearly the
intention at the act to include reirestunent houses.
He was sot prepared to deny that some hard-
ships might have arisen from the operation of the act,
bet the same thing might result from the paring of
every act for the perms of restricting the conduct of some
persons. As to Covert-garden, it was said that persons ar-
riving there between the hotrs of two and four could not
go into a public-house, but those houses were not closed till
one o'clock, adthe persons attending the market could
obeli° refrisiment all along the road to it, and therefore he
thought that no vey pest hardship was imposed ape°
them if they could not go mto a public-house before four
o'clock. As to the Cattle Market, he thought the boss.
gentleman had overlooked that express provision which
enabled persons who were bone fide travellers arriving at
railway stations to obtain refreshment there, consequently
there wee nothing to prevent drovers and others from Wag
provided with all they might require at the dances
as regarded the houses themeelvon at the Cottle reskdt
he could hardly conosive that any one of them de
solely am their early morning ourtomers, for the market
was epee during the whole of the day, and of come those
houses were resorted to by the drovers. He knew that the
other one referred to, that of the compositors, was one of
greater difficulty. He saw some of those gentlemen while
the bill was maw through parliament, and what they
seemed to wish for was that the police authorities should
have power to exempt certain houses from the operation of
the act. But to that he objected, as it would have placed
in the hands of the police a monopoly in favour of particular
houses. (Hear, hear.) He did not see why the same pro-
vince could not be made for those gentlemen generally
es had been made for them at the Tines
Office, or why they could not hire a pri-
vate room in which they might obtain all the
refreshments necessary when their work was over. The
gentlemen who went to him were connected with half •
dozen of the newspapers, and it they would do what he
had suggested they would be able to manage without the
assistanceof a public-home. if say particular boar-
hood were selected for the keeping one of any
they would be, of course, epee to all the world, and the
traffie which had existed in the Haymarket would be trans-
ferred to another locality. (Hear, hear ) He would not
object to the int:oda/thou elf the bill, but be hoped the
house would be careful in not altering the act of last year
without due consideratim. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. COX was uodentood to my, in explanation, that
the refreshment-rooms at railway stations were of no use to
drovers who attended the Metropolitan Cattle Market.
Mr. HADFIELD said be believed that Manchester and
Liverpool had almost unanimously adopted the act, sad bad
felt the benefit of its operation, and therefore he hoped
that nothing would be dose which would interfere with the
principled the act.
Mr. AYRTON believed that the provisions of the act
were seriously wondered last year, and he thought that
there could be so difficulty in the gentlemen who had been
referred to making arrangements by which they would set,
suffer from the °parades of the act.
Leave was then given to introduce the bill.
Leave was given to Sir F. Kelly to bring in a bill for
the further amendment of the law of evident, and of the
practice in certain courts of jetties, by renderiag the parties
to divorce and other ems admissible, though sot com-
pellable, as withers ; also to Mr. Paull, • bill to m-
solidate and amend the acts regulating proceedings before
justices of the peace out of quarter sessions is

debtors in certain cease; to Mr. Denman ' a bill foe the
amendment of practice and premiere in courts of erimisal
jurisdiction ; and to Sir C. O'Loghlea, a bill to amend the
Election Petitions Act of 1848 is certain particulars.
Numerous returns were also ordered, and the boom ad-
journed as • quarter-past 7 o'clock.
