LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4.

lr one were to judge of the amount of Parlia-
mentary work done in the present session by the
number of bills which are every morning stated to
have passed through some particular stage in
either House, it would seem as if the business of
legislation never was more active or its fruits
more rich and varied. The votes and proceedings
of the House of Lords are more than ordinarily
studded just now with these presumptive proofs
of senatorial industry. Every morning as the eye
glances down the column headed " Imperial
" Parliament," it is arrested by a pretentious
array of " further extension" and " amendment"
bills, mingled with a goodly muster of measures
for "consolidating" a number of provisions
already on the statute-book, or for " more effec-
" teeny providing" that something should be done
or something should not be done, about which we
had fain hoped that for the rest of our natural
lives we should hear no more. But the
fact is that bad legislation is like bad
hosiery ; no sooner is it tried on than
the holes ibegin to appear; and as this
branch of business is now carried on at West-
minster, it would give another parliament plenty to
do if it did nothing else than sit to take up the
stitches dropped by that which we now rely on to
mend as well as make. But so thoroughly esta-
blished is the sense of practical irresponsibility as
to tho manner in which legislative work is done,
that nobody seems to feel the least ashamed when
a bill, that has taken days and weeks to make into
a law, comes back in the course of a few months
to be darned all over, in order to make it usable
at all. It seems to be looked upon indeed as part
and parcel of the ordinary practice in such matters;
and this is one principal cause why our statutabl
annals in years like tho present are not wholly
vacant. Something of course is to be set down
under the head of Continuance Bills, like that for
the renewal for three years of the Poor Law Com-
mission, and for one year of the Acts for the
Punishment of Mutiny and Desertion in the
Anny and Navy, for the Exemption of Stock
in Trade from Rating, and for the renewal for one
year more of Turnpike Trusts is England and
Wales ; all of which are indisputably right and
necessary to keep the great machine of "England
" as it is" going, but which have, in their progreu
in passing through Parliament, no more to do with
the making of new laws or the reforming of old
ones, than the winding up of an eight-day clock
has with the art of chronometer making. The
Continuance Bills, Railway Extension Bills,
Amendment of Common Law Procedure Bills,
Validity of Marriages in Out-of-the-way Parishes
Bills, Settlement of doubts as to Preferential
Liability as to Debentures granted by the Great
Swindle and Sham Mining Company Bills,--and
all the rest of the pompous trumpery which fills
scores upon scores of pages of our Statutes at
Large every year, have in them nothing but
the jargon of Westminster wordiness, in
common with really public and general acts
of parliament. The darning bills in a certain
sense somewhat more resemble positive legislation,
inasmuch as without them what has been done in
a previous session would frequently be of no
avail. But it is s mere faico to talk of them as
samples of specific work done by the representa-
tives of the nation, and its spiritual and heredi•
tary wise men in Parliament assembled. They are
mere repairing' and rebuttonings of ill-made or half-
used habiliments which, when originally turned
out, were not tit for the country to wear ; or they
are wretched attempts to got on another stage at
the end of the day with worn-out jades when
fresh cattle are not to be had. If any one doubts
the accuracy of the description we have here given
of the solemn tinkering now going on every evening
in both Houses, but more especially in the House
of Lords, we recommend to his notice the list
which has appeared any morning this week, or
which will appear any morning next week, of what
is called by the printers with inexorable irony,
" parliamentary business." There he will find
described in all the dignity of athletic initials
dozens of private and local arrangements, agree-
ments, compromises, and so forth, about
which he will ask in vain for any ex-
planation from nineteen out of every twenty
of the lords and gentlemen who aro said to have
assented to their being formally entitled Acts of
Parliament. That the provisions which some of
them contain may possibly be innocuous, if not
useful, we are not prepared to deny. We are
very far indeed from being satisfied that, if
judicially sifted by some competent tribunal, the
majority of them would stand the test of impar-
tial scrutiny. All we are at present concerned
about is to point out the fact that in no sense of
the term can they be properly designated laws, or
seriously said to have obtained the intelligent or
moral sanction of Parliament. And the evil
which arises from the system of putting them for
form's sake through the law-making mill is, that,
from their number, and diversity in point of
dimensions, colour, and value, a distinction is kept
up with respect to that which is doing in Parlia-
ment which prevents the undisoerning public from
comprehending what their rulers are really about.
It is certainly not too much to say that,
of the earnest groups to be seen in the
