The Duke of RICHMOND, according to notice, moved
for the re-appointment of the select committee of 1846, to in-
quire into the expediency of the legislative enactments intro-
duced for the purpose of enabling the possessors of entailed
estates to charge such estates with sums to be allowed for
the purpose of draining, and otherwise permanently improv-
ing the same. That act was framed last year, more with
reference to England than Ireland. His desire was, that
it should be extended to Ireland, where it would he meat
efficient in affording relief. He proposed that it should be
referred back to the same select committee, to see what
alterations in the present bill might be desirable.

r:diesel letter. If the landed proprietors were anxiotis that
the public works should dose, and provided other employ-

and there was no other employment Ilbr the destitute, the
government had no option.

ACCIDENTS ON RAILWAYS.
Colonel SIBTHORP referred to, the recent accident on
the Great Western Railway; and inquired whether any
compensation would be given to the families of the unfortu-
nate persons who had been killed ?
Mr. STRUTT said, the railway board had no power in
such matters.

Colorer SIBTHORP intimated his intention of bringing
the subject before the house on an early day.
MILLBANK PRISON.
Mr. T. BUNCOMBE understood that the report of the
third commissioner on the subject of the Millbank prison
had been sent to the home secretary, and he wished to know
whether the right hon. baronet had laid it on the table of
the house.

Sir G. GREY had told the hon. member fur Winehesier
(Mr. Bacon), that he must put the report which he had sent
to him in the form of a letter instead of a report, as a majo-
rity of the commissioners bad agreed to a report; and when
it was presented to him in that shape, he should be prepared
to lay it on the table.
Mr. B. ESCOTT thought, from the terms of the commis-
sion, that he was bound to send in a report.
