POOH RELIEF ACT CONTINUA\CE Bl's
Upon the order of the day for the third reading of this
en
bill,
Mr. MILES moved the following clause :—" Whereat
in England and Wales there are unions, the guardians of
which by a majority of two-thirds have memorialised
set
efh
pee
tai Poorseparation
n ;
of Lawt
he
but Board,rdoio c u according
iLuewa exist,
dow( nt Act, for a
to the thirty•second
from there Wag
no workhouse accommodation in the parish Or
parishes from which two-thirds of the guardians have ex.
premed to the Poor Law Board their with to he sepa-
-1 rated, in the Poor Law Fonts sanctioning such separatioa.
Be it therefore enacted, that the Pour Law Board may
hereafter sanction such separation, • pert of the workhouse
heretofore used in common being first allotted to the parish
or paishes to be separated, or such other arrangements haw
log first been made to ensure workhouse accommodation, as
to the respective Board of Guardians and the Poor Law
Board may seem expedient."
Sir G. TYLER supported the clause.
Mr. BAINES said that each of the cases to which the
hots gentleman had alluded had two Milts, of which only
one had been laid before the house. The clause that Mr
Miles had proposed would riot carry out his views. There
could not be two boards till the separation had taken place,
and therefore the two sections of the guardians could not
agree as to the mutual use of the workhouse. The suggce.
tion, however, should receive the best attention of the
board.
The clause was then negatived without • divi:ion, and
the bill passed.

relating to the piers to those already charged on the

eumed.

LINEN, &c., MANUFACTURES (IRELAND) BILL
This bill was read a second time.
SMOKE NUISANCE ABATEMENT (METROPOLIS)
BILL.

On the house going into committal on this bill,
Lord PALkIERSTON said he wished to amend the bill
by proposing that instead of the penalty being so much
a day, that is, being cumulative, there should he a maxi-
mum penalty of 51, for the first offence, of 101. for the
second offence, and so on, the penalty heiog doubled for
every offence. He also proposed that the bill should not
come into operation till the 24th of August, 18•i1.
Mr. SPOONER still believed that the bill would never
be carried out, and urged the government to withdraw it.
Mr. BASS said the attempt to compel parties to consume
their owa smoke was futile.

Mr. °EACH and Mr. BLACKETT recommended the go-
vernment to postpone the bill till next session.
Mr. FOX said it was impossible to suppress the smoke
nuisance of steamers except by burning the very best
Welsh coal, which at some parts of the year could not be
had in the Thames.

Lord PALMERSTON trusted the house would allow the
bill to be re•printed. (Hear, hear.) With regard to die.
tilleries, the report of Sir H. De la Beebe and Dr. Lyon
Playfair distinctly showed that smoke might be consumed.
All classes had of late years been compelled to make cacti-
fires—(hear, hear)—and he hoped the manufacturing in-
terest would be prepared to do what was necessary to relieve
the metropolis from a nuisance which might really be pre-
vented. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. BASS said all his own efforts to prevent smoke bad
completely Lilted.
Mr. SI'OONER moved that the chairman do leave the
chair.

Mr. A. PELLATT thought it due to the noble lord that
the bill which was really a new one, should be printed.
Lord D. STUART said, as representing a large section
of the metropolis, be was very anxious that the object
should be effected, but he believed that, in fact, it was im-
practicable. Still he wan in favour of the printing of the bill.
Lord C. HAMILTON hoped the noble lord (Palmer-
ston) would not be deterred from persisting in hie attempt
to cure a serious public nuisance.
Lord PALMERSTON said he was first told that he did
not give time enough ; he was now told by the same persons
that he had given too mush time, and asked to postpone the
bill till next session. (Laughter.)
Mr. SPOONER then withdrew his amendment, and the
hill was reported with amendments, and ordered to be re-
printed.
