most wheels of education, and which had been sent round
to the elergy, sod in a postscript it was stated that they had
authority to my that under the existing minute the &litho-
ried version of the scriptures was to be used. He supposed
that they had authority to state this.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNB was as iguorant of the
existenoe of that circular, which he had seen, es he
was of others which were intended to procure petitions
I against the government plan, and which contained the
greatest falsehoods. He need not say that societies were in
the habit of sending such circulars in order to obtain sig-
natures to petitions against the plan, which might be sup-
posed to have an effect on parliament, and it was not sur-
prating that those on the other side of the question should do
the some. The government held themselves to be at liberty,
in considering the minutes of education, to adopt any rein-
lotion, and they did net pledge themselves to any
restriction.

sion al the aniptures ; say that of Donay, as well as any

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE—They would not con-
sider themselves at liberty to do eo without a reference to
parliament.

to say that with
reference to the objections which had been made to a select
eentrnittee to inquire into the questions relating to this rail-
way, he had looked into the bills in chancery which were
pending, and he found that they had nothing to do with the
matter of inquiry which had been referred to the committee.
Lord REDESDALE said, that although it was in hie
power to move that the committee be discharged, be should
not do so without giving notice. He thcught it a dangerous
principle, which the house ought not to adopt, to interfere
with the legal possession of property which it liras alleged
was illegally obtained.
The LORD CHANCELLOR thought it right to say that
the case would be before him in the course of a week, and
it would then he ascertained if the committee would interfere
with the jurisdiction of a court of law. He thought that
their lordships ought to be satisfied on dist point before they
entered on so inconvenient a course u referring a question to
a select committee which might be discussed at their lord-
ships' bar; for the parties might not acquiesce in the decision
of the Court of Chancery.
Lord LYNDHURST would, however, let the matter stand
evil. until his noble sad learned friend had come to a
decision.
THE GOVERNMENT PLAN OF EDUCATION.

Lord BROUGHAM wished to understand clearly about
the use of the authorised version of the scriptures in the
schools. He wished m know if the word " maintain" in
the minute of 1839 was not to be changed without the saw-
bon of parliament?
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said there would be no
change in any minute without its being laid before par-
liament.

Lord BROUGHAM : But would it not be made without
ita sanction, for that wade all the difference ?
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the way in which
the minute came before parliament was on a vote of money,
and say deviation in the minute would be explained before
the vote was taken.

Led 13E011011AB( said that was
gave parliament the power to say that only on those terms
the money would be granted.
The Memel& of LANSDOWNE said that before a vote
of money was asked for, it would be stated what the minute
was.

Lord BROUGHAM : But suppose a minute was made the
day after a grant of 60,0001., during the whole of that year
the government could apply the money in any way they
chase, and there was no means of checking them.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that he had no
hesitation in saying that no such deviation would be made
without a communication to parliament.
POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) BILL.—THE LANDED
PROPERLY (IRELAND) BILL.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE, in moving the first
readiag of these bills, said that they were two most import-
ant measures, one for the better regulation of the relief of
the poor is Ireland, sad the other for giving greater facilities
to proprietors in the improvement of their lend. They had
not, strictly speaking, any connexion, but yet they had a
certain relation to each other, and he thought it would be
most convenient to their lordships if they were moved on the
same day. He should, therefore, move the second readings
on Thursday se'nnight.

THE LATE EXECUTION AT BURY ST. EDMUND'S

The Marquis of WESTMEATH had seen in the news-
paper reports of the occurrence, that at the execution or a
woman at Bury, on Saturday last, for the murder of her
husband, upwards of 10,000 persona were present, and that
so shamefully was the sentence of the law carried out, and
so much were the eafferings of the unhappy culprit pro- ,
loafed, owing to the cureleseco es or inhumanity of the cue-
cuticaer, that the multitude were horrified, and called out
Sheets! shame! arid Murder! murder! What he
wished was, that the attention of the government
should be directed to the subject, with the view of prevent-
ing the recurrence of scenes which, by the reports he had
alluded to, had it appeared taken place in the very heart of
the kingdom. (Hear.)
The Marquis of LANSDOWHE —Had no knowledge of
the occurrence to which the noble Marquis had referred,
except that gathered from the newspapers, He was con-
fident, however, that his right hos, friend the Secretary of
State would cause a careful inquiry to be made into the
oirennistanoss therein stated. He
.agreed that it was im-
portant while we retained the punishment of death oa the
statute beak foe certain aggravated offences, that its indic-
tion should be 'lathed with due solemnity, and accompa-
nied as far ea It could be with humanity, so as to avoid
all nnueesesery:euffering. (Hear, hear.)
Their lordatupe adjourned at a few minute' before seven
o'clock.
