DIPORIAL PARLIAMENT.

11OtSE OF LORDB.—TITSSDAY, brawn 19.
IN the Roust: of Loaus yesterday, the Karl of
Dzvott moved the second reading of the Metropo-
litan Poor Bill.

The Earl of KIMBERLEY expressed his concur-
rence in the bill, and his regret that it did nut go
further and remove the sick and insane of the
metropolis altogether from the care of the
guarthiuts.
The bill was then read a second time.
The Traffic Regulation Bill was reported and
Wood to.
On the order of the day for going into committee
on the Railway Traffic Protection Bill,
. . . .

Lord CAIRNS objected to the bill as unprece-
dented and unjust, as affecting the rights of cre-
ditors retrospectively, and as raising an invidious
distinction between different classes of creditors.
The bill was a mere fragment of a most serious
question, which ought to be dealt with in a com-
prehensive manner.
Lord REDEsDALE said the object of the bill was
only temporary, and to enable parliament to deal
with the whole question more effectually, protect-
ing meanwhile the rights of the creditors of rail-
ways, which were already complicated enough, and
would be inextricably so if individual creditors
enforced their rights whilst parliament was
deliberating.

The Duk; of Montrose and the Duke of Buck-
ingham strongly supported the bill ; but Lord
Wensleydale spoke against it ; and the bill was
withdrawn.

The Duty on Dogs Bill passed through commit-
tee, and their lordships then adjourned at 10
minutes past 7 o'clock.

HOSE OF COMMON/I.—TUESDAY, MARCH 19.
Is the Hoess of COMMONS, Mr. J. 8. MILL gave
notice of his intention in committee on the Repre-
sentation of the People Bill, to move to strike out
in clauses 5 and 6 the word "man," and to insert
" person ;" and to strike out clauses Bto 16, re-
lating to the redistribution of seats, and substitute
clauses which embody the principle of personal
representation.
The CHANCSLLOR of the EXCHIQUER, in answer
to a question from Sir R. KNIGHTLEY, stated that
he should certainly introduce a bill on the subject
of bribery and corruption at elections, but that it
would be impossible to do so before the 25th, the
time fixed for the second reading of the Represen-
tation of the People Bill.
In reply to another question from Mr. Munn;
who inquired if he considered the dual vote an
essential_ part of the bill,. . .

The CRAWS:I4MR of the EXOSEQUER intimated
that the discussion on the second reading was the
legitimate occasion on which they ought so express
an opinion on points so important.
Mr.tiLStilroSK followed with &series of questions
respecting the operation of the bill on 101. occu-
piers, and the number of persons who will be en-
franchised he it.
The CHANCELLOR of the EX(MEQUER said he
would prefer answering the questions when he saw
them in print.

A series of questions were then put respecting
magistrates and members who are alleged to have
committed bribery.
Lord H. THYNNE led the way by asking whether
the Home Secretary proposed to call the attention
of the Lord Chancellor to those magistrates who
have been reported on by the commissioners who
lately sat on the corrupt boroughs, as being privy
and consenting to corrupt practices, with the view
of their being struck off the commission of the
peace ; •and
Mr. WALPOLE having replied that he was igno-
rant of the facts referred to,
. . - . .

Mr. BENTINCE. asked the member for Leicester
whether he would enlarge his motion for an
address to the crown to remove Mr. Churchward
from the commission of the peace, so as to include
all magistrates who have been guilty of or privy to
corrupt practices.
Mr. T.tvLon replied that the hon. member could
hardly be serious. He had given notice with regard
to a particular case, and the eases the hon. member
asked him to include he know nothing about.

IN.REIGN OBLIOATIi

IC.N I -

Mr. BAGOE then rose and asked the Chancellor
of the Exchequer whether Mr. William Henry
Leathern, Mr. Philip Vanderbyl, Mr. C. W.
Watkin, and Mr. Alfred Seymour, all of whom
have been reported as guilty of bribery or having
been privy to corrupt practices, are members of this
house, and, if they are justices of the peace,
whether it is the intention of the government to
remove them from the commission of the peace.
The CHANCELLUR of the EXCHEQUER replied in
a humorous speech, saying there were no circum-
stances more startling than the frequency of
instances of mistaken identity, and he must there-
fore be cautious in giving an opinion. There was
certainly a similarity, nay, an identity, of names,
between those quoted by his hon. friend and those
used by members of that house, but, on the other
hand, if he were to judge from the general tone of
those members when speaking against tory corrup-
tion, he should say that, prima facie, they could not
be the same persons.
Mr. Warms said ho was a magistrate as well as
a member of that house, and he agreed in the opi-
nion that no man had a right to be a magistrate who
could either offer or take a bribe, and he had
written to the Lord Chancellor demanding an in-
vestigation into his conduct. He indignantly de-
nied the accuracy of the report of the commissioners
in imputing that charge to him.

Mr; Varoxr.svi. said he considered the introduc-
tion of his name quite uncalled for. The hon.
member, who do doubt had his motives, knew well
enough that he was a member of the house, and as
regarded the commission of the peace he had no-
thing to do with it.
The subject then dropped for the time.
Mr. H. B. SHERIDAN then brought forward a
motion in favour of the further reduction of the
duty on fire insurances. He said he proposed to
reduce the rate from one shilling and sixpence to
one shilling during the next year, and in the fol-
lowing year to sixpence, leaving the duty a sixpenny
duty only. The present duty yielded 989,6731. a
year, and the loss in the two years by the reduction
he proposed he estimated at 511,0001. But he
maintained that after the expiration of that period
he believed the revenue front the duty would
steadily increase until it amounted to more than
the sent revenue from that source.
SU. B. COCHRANE and Mr. HUBBARD both con-
demned the tax, but advised the withdrawal of the
motion.

Mr. GLADSTO:ft deprecated the bringing forward
of motions of this character before the annual finan-
cial statement.

Mr. T. lIINKEY supported the motion.
The CHANCELLOR of the Excur.orsa also dwelt
on the inconvenience of motions of this character.

On a division, the motion was negatived by 215 to
156. •

Mr. KNATCHBULL MUOESSEN moved for leave to
bring in a bill to alter and amend the law relating
to turnpike trusts, the object of which is to enable
arrangements to be made between the bondholders
and the trustees, and to abolish the tolls under certain
circumstances, to throw the repairs of the roads on
a common fund, and to fix a period for the termi-
nation of the trusts.

Mr. SCOURFIELD remarked that the roads must
be repaired by tolls or by rates. Tolls were the
most just, because they went on the principle of
every one paying for what he got, but the rates
were the most popular, because every man liked to
put his hand into another person's pocket.
After some criticisms on the bill from Mr. Read,
Mr. Sclater-Booth, and Sir R. Anstruther,
Mr. WALPOLZ said he thought they could not
arrive at a satisfactory settlement of this question
without making the Permissive Highway Act •
compulsory measure, and throwing on the highway
rate the expense of maintaining the roads as well as
highways. The proposition to throw a part of the
burden on the county rate required grave conside-
ration. He approved of a proposition to refer the
bill to a select committee.

Leave was then given to bring in the bill.
Lord J. MANSCIAS obtained leave to bring in a
bill to make further provision for the en-
largement of the National Gallery. Negotia-

tions, he said, had taken place for the pur-
chase of the land in question, out they had fallen
through, and it had been found necessary to bring
in a bill giving compulsory powers.
Mr. GRAVES moved that the house resolve itself
into committee, in order to move that the chair-
man be directed to bring in a bill for the better re-
gulation of public-houses, refreshment houses, and
beer-houses. He said the bill was intended to re-
gulate these houses in Liverpool, but the bill was
so far public that it gave power to all municipal
corporations to adopt the act. It provided that all
the applicants must be of good character ; that all
who complied with the conditions of the act would
have the certificate for a license, subject, however,
to a veto given by the owners and occupiers of the
houses in the immediate neighbourhood. The
licenses would be subject to an increased excise
duty, with a reduction of the duty if the houses
were not open on the Sunday ; and the bill gave
power to the local authorities to restrict the hours
during which the houses nughtbe open.
Mr. Rossuex moved that the houseresolve itself
into committee that day six months. The bill
established free trade in liquor, to which he was
entirely opposed.
Mr. Powr.m. and Mr. Pesss supported the
motion.

Mr. WALPOLE said he had made up his mind as
to the kind of measure that ought to be brought in,
but he had not yet consulted his colleagues upon
it. Be thought, however, that the house should
go into committee for the purpose of bringing in
this bill.

____
Mr. W. E. Foams supported the motion, ob-
serving that there was a general feeling that the
license laws were in a very unsatisfactory state.
Mr. ROEBUCK withdrew his amendment, and the
house then went into committee, and a motion
was agreed to directing the Chairman to bring in
a bill.

Lord J. MANNERS obtained leave to bring in a
bill to authorise the Commissioners of Works to
acquire lands for the purposes of the New Palace
at Westminster, and to construct an embankment
on the north shore of the River Thames, in the
parish of St. John the Evangelist, Westminster.
Mr. TAYLOR moved that an humble address be
presented to her Majesty, praying that she will be
graciously pleased to give directions for the re-
moval of Mr. Churchward from the commission of
the peace for the borough of Dover. He stated
that a committee which sat in 1853 had reported
that Mr. Churchward had been kruilty of bribery
at an election by promising appointments
in the duckyard.l In 1859 another com-
mittee which was appointed On the subject
of mail contracts submitted to the house whether,
Mr. Churchward having resorted to corrupt ex-
pedients to procure the return of a member of par-
liament, the house ought not to rescind a contract
to extend his existing contract from June, 184i3, to
1879. And the house acted upon that
report and rescinded the contract. It was at one
time contemplated to appoint Mr. Churchward a
magistrate for the county of Kent, but the magis-
trates for the division of Wingham met and pro-
tested against the appointment, and no more was
heard of it. But he had been appointed for the
borough of Dover. To appoint such a person as a
magistrate was poisoning the fountains of justice.
Major Memos characterised the attack that had
been made upon Mr. Churchward as wanton and
cowardly—an expression for which he was called
to order by Mr. B. Osborne, and which he promptly
withdrew. He proceeded to say that the hon.
gentleman knew that Mr. Churchward had for
eight years been endeavouring to obtain an
investigation, and had always been refused. The
persecution of Mr. Churchyard was unparalleled
in political history. The hon. member had been
made a tool and a catspaw to bring forward this
motion, which had been instigated by personal
spite. He admitted that the second committee
reported that Mr. Churchyard had been guilty of
corruption, but it was contended that the decision
was entirely contradicted by the evidence.
Mr. BENTINCa deprecated, amid much laughter,
these personal discussions, and proposed an
amendment, which would have the effect of making
the motion apply, not to Mr. Churchward by name,
but to all persons in the commission of the paw
in any city or borough, who have been found,
either by a committee of this house or by a royal
commission, guilty of or privy to corrupt practices
at a parliamentary election.
Mr. GLADSTONE pointed out that the difference
between Mr. Churchyard's case and that of others
consisted in this : that the report of the committee
was adopted by the executive government, had
been twice indorsed by the house, and for several
years a clause was inserted in the set relating to
contracts that none of the money voted was to
be paid to Mr. Churchward in respect of the con-
tract which they rescinded. The amendment was
a matter of grave consideration, but it it ought not
to be discussed without notice.
Sir S. NORTUCOTE contended that the committee
of 1859, which acquitted him and condemned Mr.
Churchward, came to an unjust decision, and said
they ought either to have been both acquitted or
both condemned, and he entered into a history of
the circumstances connected with the renewal of
Mr. Churchyard's contracts in order to justify that
assertion.

Mr. B. OSBORN& said he had refused to bring
forward this motion because no one could touch
pitch without being deified, and he should give no
vote. He recommended that the Home Secretary
should announce that Mr. Churchward should re-
tire into private life, and that the motion should
then be withdrawn.

Mr. BARROW opposed the motion, on the ground
that he was not prepared to punish a man twice.
Sir R. Paniza argued that the decision of the
committee of 1859 was • right decision, and read
extracts from the evidence in support of that view,
and he appealed to the house to have respect to
its former decisions on the subject.
Mr. FNRSIIFIELD opposed the motion, which he
said was brou4ht forward not at the instance of
the people of Dover.
. . .

• • .
On a division the motion as technically put,
" That the words proposed to be left out stand
part of the question," was carried by 161 to 141,
which had the effect of negativing the motion ; and
on the question that the words comprised in the
amendment be added,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
hoped the house would pause before adopting a re-
solution of so extensive a character.

Mr. GLADSTONE, however, insisted on the ques-
tion being put, and it was put and carried.
Several bills were then forwarded a stage, and
the house adjourned at half-past 12 o'clock.

RAILWAY AND OTHER BILLS IN PARLIAMENT.—
The following bushman was transacted yesterday in the
House of Commons' Committees: In Group 1, presided
over by Sir E. Colebrook., the Metropolitan Railway Lill
was proceeded with, and the North London, and North
Western and Charing-cross Railway Bills were again
adjourned. In Sir F. Goldamid's committee (Group 4),
the Great Eastern Railway (Steamboats) Bill was again
considered. Mr. Scholefleld's committee, in Group pro-
ceeded with the consideration of the London and North
Western (Bunton, Chapel-en-le-Frith, and Sheffield) Rail-
way BilL In Group 9 (Mr. O'Reilly's committee), the
Reath and Brecon, and the Brecon and Merthyr Tydvil
passed through after the clauses had been settled. The
committee then proceeded with the consideration of the
Carmarthen and Cardigan Railway Bill. The committee
in Group 10 (Mr. W. 0. Stanley's), further proceeded
with the Caledonian and Forth and Clyde Navigation
Bill. In Mr. Dent's committee (Group 11), the Navan
and Kingscourt, and the Dublin Trunk Connecting Rail-
way Bills, being unopposed, were referred back to the
chairman of committees. _ .
