drew, additions to the clause, with the view of extending
its operation to Ireland, and
Claus., 1, 2. and 3 were agreed to.
After some discussion,
Clauses up to clause b inclusive, with some slight aisend-
m.:nu, were agreed to.
Clause 9 was struck out.
On clause Id,
Sir G. GREY moved an amendment, providing that the
• county court judges should not receive fees.
Mr. FITZROY objected to the manner in which they'
were treating the county court judges. They were throw-
. ing on them extra business without providing them with
adequate remuneration, thus rendering the offices such as
men of ability would not retain. They had dealt quite in
a different way with the commissioners in bankruptcy.
Sir O. GREY said he had been quite misunderstood by
the hon. member (Mr. Fitzroy). What ho (Sir George
Grey) meant was that the additional remuneration should
not he provided in the shape of fees, but in the shape of
additional salary. Ile proposed also to substitute 1,1100/. as
the maximum, in place of 1,2001., but it was not to be consi-
dered that alt the judges were to be paid OR the highest scale.
Mr. FITZROY would be quite satisfied with the ar-
rangement, a. stated by the right hon. baronet.
Mr. SLAN EY paid a high compliment to the hon. mem-
ber (Mr. Fitzroy) for his praiseworthy and persevering
effort in legislation connected with the county courts.
Clause 10, as amended, was agreed to.
Clauses 11, 12, 13, 14, and 14, were struck out.

Clauses 17 and lb were agreed to.
Cisme 19 was struck out.
Clause 20, atter hang slightly amended, was agreed to.
Clause 21 wAs struck out.

Clause 22 was agreed to.
Mr. M'C CLLAGII said he had intended to propose a
new clause, but as the Attorney-General had objected that
it did not come within the preamble of the hill, and did
not relate to county courts, he would not press its adoption.
Mr. Mailings moved a new clause, which was opposed by
the Attorney-General, and, after a few words from Mr. N
Smith, withdrawn.
Mr.MULLINGS slid he hail another clause to propose.
The County Court Judges wee: at present obliged to sit
every month during the rear, and he proposed to allow them
a mouth, during which They would be released from their
duties. lie begged to propose—
That it shall be octal for the judge of any County °sort, upon one
calendar math's porton. note, thereof, to be attired in the whoa of
emelt coon, to direct, that foe the rpm of one calendar mouth, to
commence tot c alter than the 10th day of August, and to terminate
not later than the 21th day of October in any a e tr, the office ass&
court shall be open for receiving money and irealost exec...Uwe. only.
Sir O. GREY did not see the necessity of such a clause,
considering that the County Court Judges had the power of
appointing a deputy, and there were always plenty of qua-
lified deputies to he found. if the courts were shut up for
a month during the course of the year, he was afraid it
would detract materially from their value.
Mr. MCLLINGS withdrew the clause in the meantime,
hut stated that he would bring up a similar clause on some
future stag, of the bill.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved the following
clause: . .

Anil wherene, by an set passed in the tenth year of the reign of her
present Majesty, intitialed, arc., It was enacted that no person Ph iuld
be entitled to ~p,iear toe any other party to en, proceeding in any of

superior courts of record, or a barrister-at-law instnicted by such at-
torney en b..hal of tee putt', or by leave of the jo tge, any other per-
son allowed by the judge to appear instead of such party ; but that ao
turrister, Moran, or other perran, except by !care of the judge,
should be estit!,l to be heard to argue any gm soon as counsel fur any
other person in any proceeding in any court holden under th it aat,"
be it enacted, that the said provision shall not be deemed or eon.

TILE CASE OF TILE BOY SMOTHERED IN A FLUE

Mr. BASS Lad in the public papers there was an ac-

peared the child was subjected to great cruelty. lle wished
' to know if the right hon. gentleman the Secretary of State
for the Ilona,' Department had any information on the

the act of 1511) to prevent cruelty of this kind was itlOper.t.
tire.

Sir G. GREY said he had no information with regard to
the caw other than what was stated in the newspapers. Ac-
cording to the letter from the coroner there 1/3.1 not sun'.
cient evidence of the master's knowledge to inculpate him.
The penalty fur makin; a child go up a Hue was 101., one-
half of which was given to the informer, .0 that infractions

the act was inoperative. In London, at all events, and in
other large towns, it was operative.
srutituAL DESTITUTION IN ENGLAND AND
WALES. _ . _

The Marquis of TILANDFOIIII moved the resolution of
which he bail given notice—" That an humble address be
presented to her Majesty, praying that she will be gra-
ciously pleased to take into her consideration the state of
spiritual destitution existing throughout England and
Wale*: with a view that her Majesty may be pleased to
direct the adoption of such measures as she may deem ex-
pedient, for affording more elficieut relief to the spiritual
wants of the people, and for an extension of the parochial
system corresponding to the growth of a rapidly increasing
population by the help which may bas drawn from the re-
sources of the established church itself." lle adverted,
in the outset, to a speech of the late Sir R. Peel, in
1843, when bringing on his measure on church ex•
tension. lie said Above all the advantage that 1 antici-
pate is that by this proceeding I shall place the church
of En,claud in a favourable light before the people of this I
Illnintfy, and conciliate towards it that favour and affection
Se which I believe it to be so justly entitled. To lay the
gennilations of extended usefulness these foundations must
be widened. It is in vain that you have splendid cathedrals
and bishops highly endowed—in vain you have dignitaries
sad splendid edifices, it you fail to imps.* upon the people
the conviction that great practical advantages are to be
derived from them—unless in populous districts yea
Ming the ministrations of the church within the reach
if the people it is in vain that you support its dignitaries,
Ise the polished courts of the temple will not be secure I
Maw you widen the basis on which they rest. Here
is re point in which the church of England is wanting at
must ; her parochial constitution was made in other times 1
sad limited to other states of the vople. You must divide
parishes and bring ministers into them, and you will add at
ewe to the respectability, to the influence, to the prosperity
of the church by applying her present property to streugthen
her position and increase her influence." It is upon this au-
thority, and keeping this scheme in view (said the noble mar-
quis) that I am desirous of proceeding. Sir, an address has I
been presented to her Majesty, which is the subject of my I
present remarks, and is one which generally embodies
this very thing; it presents us with statements founded
u those two reports of commissionersappointed by her
upon those two reports of commissioners appointed by her
Majesty for inquiring into episcopal and capitular revenues,
and for the practicability of the subdivision of parishes ;
these, sir, arc most useful reports, to which I am very glad
to draw the attention of the house ; for, occurring nearly
as they do together, they seem admirabij adapted one to
the other, for, while one discloses the ers , the other points
oat the remedy. With regard to the flrstripoint, either there
Is • want, or there is not; if there ts not, we have
yam in vain; but if there be, how mighty is the
megassibility which rests with the legislature of removing
the obstacles which still impede the free and extended opt..
Wien of the established church in all her pastoral caps-
MM. I read in the Wrest, "It has been ascertained by
pal Majesty's Ossiminitaiss appointed to inquire into the
pusticability end asat subbviding all densely peopled
in Ensiled ma Wolfe, that there is a pressing
for the ersadia of NO new churches, which should
liaison eases have pebble melsoed to them, and these of
Maws involve tatiszsiglass‘ elf one clergyman at least to
Mai 600 11111111ftet therefore, with as many
