COUNTY COURT JUDGES.
Mr. ROEBUCK moved in substanee an address to the
Crownjersylog her Majesty to give directions to the Lords
ef **Treasury to Sc the salaries of Viscously mart jape

Lord STANLEY emmeded the motion.
Sir G. GREY said the* • communion was 'Halsted

set of 1862 should be abandosed. The neat question was,
whether the salariashould be all equal, and if opal, whe-
ther the rate should be 1,600/. a year. Looking at the

• year would be salleient to secure the molt
mintreteat men in Westminster hall, and would be
enough, with the addition of travelling area%
to ensure them that social position which a judge ought to
enjoy. This was the reeptinsudation made to the govern-
ment, but it was not propmed to take away the additional
8004 a year, which some of the judges bad already assigned
to them. Tina were the rowans whisk had influenced the
gammas, and if they were miatakro, it would be fur the
boas* to correct that mistake. But as the bill founded oa
that report was now before the other bolus, sad would
probably come befogs the House of Commons at to dissent
period sad as there was another bill sow before this how*
whiskimpend additional dense upon the judges, it would
be better to defer the disclaim of the subject until the
house had fall information of the Pieta laid before them,
when the government would listea to any gasps-
times that clad be made. He hoped the house would take
this c .ures, end not hastily pledge themselves to give all
the alga 1,6001. 'qui amides teaselling *avenges, but

that the feel paid by the suitors should be very largely re-
duced, sad the effect would be to throw • esztaiderable p,r-
tip aft" burden on the Consolidated Fund. The Lord
Cheseellor, as it affected his own pdrosarr, could have no
made Ma
am simc re and deliberate opinion for proposing
the the salary should be less than 1,6001., and
beide opinion hie colleagues of the commissies
d been greatly Wham:ed. Of course, the govern-
ment did not pretend to say that that opinion was in-
fallible; Manley asked the house not hastily to memo
that the payment of 1,2001. was Inadequate, but to tabs
time for an investigation of all the circumstances when the

motion tegetived so ea to Imply that 1,6001. ought not to be
rival to all the judges; but, wishing the house to moped
their opinion, be would move the precious question.
After a discuss', n, turning chiefly on personal te p'co, the
notice was by leave withdraws.
REMOVAL OF IRISH AND SCOTCH PAUPERS.
Mr. BOUVERIE moved for leave to bring in a bill to
amend the law reepeetiog then removal of Irish sod Scotch
Pupas. In 1864 • committee was fiPioted to inquire
late the operation of an net of parliameat under which thee"
removals took place. That committee heard a great deal of
evideses in 1864 ; limas re-sproisted last year, when it
heard mere evidepos and aside • report. It was upon that
report that this bill was *amorally founded. The hoes.
was aware, me doubt, of the general principle on which
anima's were made. Aro r perm, when he claimed re-
lief from the poor rate if he was not settled in or bad not
resided in the parish in which he claimed relief for five
years, was liable to removal ; In the use r f au English
pauper to the parish in which he had a settle-
ment, and in the asps of a Scotch or Irish
paper, to his einetry. The act of parliament
which dealt with Irish and Scotch removal, pouted our a
mode of procedure with that etas of paupers totally differ-
eat from that which was pursued with regard to Beglish
peopera. That act, plaid eleven years sin, and be would
mate the precess ander which an Irish or Scotch pauper was
removed under the rperation of that set. An Irishman or
Rainbows who .police is this country for relief, washable
at 0009 to be taken before two justices, without any sum-
imp, and if be was sot settled in this country,. or had not
reeioad five years in the perish in which he clamed relief,
an order was made for his remora]. He was then committed
to the charge of the allow to whom the *meat of removal
was given ; and la this town, whence, with the ereeptios of
Liv.rpool, most of these amovele took place, he was
eshea to a sort of di pot la the neighbourhood of
Wapping, sad ace or twice a week these per
was wire shipped off to Battled or Ireland.
!boast directed that the persons so removed should be
lame to eaten tarts saami—eight I. Ireland sad site in
Restiond—that they should than be pat out of the marl
=daft to shift for themselves. Now that process was at
ogee very erne) to the psalm who were subjected to It, sad
very past to the asses at which they acre debarked;
because Ina very large number of cams tic port at which
they were landed bad no more right to maintain them than
the parish by which they wore seat away. The sot gave
Si
appeal, but the dilculties of worklag it were stab that
there was practically soot —ledired there bad only been
eve attssrp" to make use of it, sod that had failed. From
the passe" gives before the committee it appeared that
there had Mee 6,300 persona removed to Ireland dullest the
year ending March, 1864. Of thee' about 1.200 applird foe
relief at the workhouse or the plasee where they had boa
landed; sad consequently the re t must have begged their
way to their Masse, or have remalmed a a state of pitiable
destitution. It was Ada to say that a very largo number
of Irish per were relieved in the English workhoeses, for
N was sated by th• mom etttee that many of the Loudon
parielme, for iwitases, bad made • rale of never applying
for edam of remetrel in snob eases. The committee recom-
mended that the same promedion should be applied,
meadis esseisedie, to Irish aid Sarah poor mime ob-
served with respect to Eagliab. la this mantel, whom a
pewees applied f r relief, and it was head that be was re-
inevalie, setae was given to the parish to which he bs-
