Mr. HUTT centroded that the Stade dues could not be

GIBSON supported the proposal for a committee

haps it may be mgreedge to the house that I should reed.

REWARDS TO MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT.

dir J. THELAWNY, in submitting the resolution of
which he had given notice, viz.: " That the receipt of any
=:of reward by a meanber, in consideration of the exer •
fi his Warm in that capacity, is calculated to lower
the ditty end authority of this house, and a
high Wilma of the privilege of parliament," said
that though the motion was unquestionably founded upon
certain circumstances which had recently formed the subject
of an investigation before • select committee of the h
and the *eldest' adduced in the tonne of that inquiry,h=
not propose I. say way to impugn the decision to which
that exemittee had come. By • resolution of the house,

But if the evidence taken before the committee toPrcetrhie
referred was tree, and as it was the evidence of the hon.
member (11r. Batt) himself it must be so, it behoved the
louse to take some step to uphold the principle it had laid
down, sad to prevent the recurrence of what had In that ma*

dentin. Now he held that if any such arrangement wee
posible there wee an end to the independence of parliament,
for it wee only for the parties to adopt a certain
mode of to defeat the latention of parliament in

parties that it sh be clearly laid down, what might and
what might not be does. (Hear.) It appeared that the late

belief that members of the House of Commons were
in the habit of advocating Indian claims in return for wren
valuable coniddentione—ia short, that they received rewards

them on their guard, without reference to the case tithe how
and learned gentleman (Mr. Butt). Unites soreethleg was done
by the house in the matter, it appeared to him that mestere
might in some cases be deterred from doing their
because If • member took up any colonial or other smiler
grievance, it might be imputed to him that he we eating for
a reward. The possibility of such an impression
in the public mind could not but ban • most
effeot—and would prevent many grievances,
daily, from being heard. Unless they took some ste;i:int
thought their character would suffer with the Indiens,
they desired to govern well for the future. The Inaba
local government would not obtain additional strength,
if It wee generally understood that members of parliament
were always to be had for a consideration to advocate native
claims in the British parliament, and to endeavour to induce
that parliament to overrule the decisions of the local govern-
ment. It would be a great evil if once the opinion were allowed
to obtain that justice was to be sold in the British parliament
to the highest bidder. (Hear.) He should for one deeply re•
govt to And the hone slow in taking up a matter of etch
vital wen to its own constitutional character, and
contended if electors were punishable for being influenced
by bribes in the exercise of their duties, sorely members of
parliament ought to be *pally liable to punishment for what
in effect wee the same atm. He referred to the indtence
which the example of the British parliament had in all con-
stitutional assemblies—ln America, in Belgium, in Bardziot
and elsewhere—se an additional tenon which had w •

.the subject under the notice the
house.

—Lana HOTHAM thought they to have the bonsai of
the opinion of those who were am the laden of that
house. (Ear, hear.) The subject was undoubtedly one of
great hapretanes. He would not say whether it was true
that those soandelotur practices prevailed, but there was a
belief on the part of the public, that they did—(hear,
re:r47-11-and circumstances giving colour to that opinion was
constantly occurring, and that being the case, it was the duty
of the house to devise some plan to remove any such sus-
picion. No judge would take pert in the dead= of any
case in which he had been engaged as an advocate, and the
same etiquebeetasom7tt to be observed by members of parlia-
ment who to the legal profession. (Hear, hear.)
Sir GRAHAM said he did not think any new resolution
upon the subject was necassry. Distinguished members of
the hones as to for the colonies had received a pecuniary
reward for their influence in that house without being held
to hare violated the rule. A new rraolntion was not re-
quired to meet say gross case, while it might give rise to

Mr 717157 FITZGERALD recommended that the
matter should be allowed to stand upon the old existing law
of parliament.
Mr. MELLOR likewise advised the withdrawal et the re-
solution suggesting at the sense time the inconvenkcoes that
would result if members allowed themselves to be placed in
the position of legal advisors of stilton to parliament.
Mr. MANGLES pointed out the evil effect upon the
people of India of any act which might lead them to believe
that their own proneness to corruption was shared by the
ruling classes la this country.
Mr. FOE *mad not ocdnoide with those who recommended
the withdrawal of the resolution.
.

Mr. BRIGHT, en the other hand, opposed the motion,
oredendiiitthat there wee no tees for a sew resolution,
which involre honest members in difikalty.
Mr. ALPOLE wee of opinion that no new nil* woe
necessary; that the old rule wee bear loft es it was, dace
new words, tying u that rule, might hamper the house.
The duties of who were of the legal profession
were well defined and well understood, and he asserted with
confidence that no new rule woe regrind in their ore; If It
was, the resolution should bemoaned to them.
Lord PALMERSTON entirely agreed with those who
considered that the present law of parliament, which was
known end understood, wee sufficient for its purpos:lse
thought the resolution objectionable on account of its
MOM.

Sir J. TRELAWNY withdrew his motion.
GRAND JURIES (IRELAND).
Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD moved for leave to bring in a
bill to oonsoUdate and amend the laws Mating to Juries in
Ireland. As he did not sea the Attorney-General for Ire-

Lord PALMERSTON said undoubtedly it would be
deasbis that there should be an African faros raised for see-
vim in India, and he believed that was the opinion of the
Gomnice-Onneral. Bach troops would be exceedingly me-
fol, teems they would Mead the climate better than
Europeans, sad would be free from those objections which
the natives of India ware open to. The difficulty would be
