MAGISTRATES ANT) BRIBERS.

The Daily Nears refers to last night's debate on the
Churchward case as betokening a lamentable laxity of
sentiment on the subject of bribery, but it is a consnlatory
circumstance that there was sufficient proper feeling in
the house to hold Mr. Churchward's supporters to general
condemnation, which they accepted as a trick, and only
for the purpose of evading a parliamentary censure in a
p►rticular case, as a reality.
The Arra hi rejoices in the results of last night's debate
and division, inasmuch as it concludes that the question,
as far as Mr.Churchward is concerned, is "happily at an
end."

The Stan,lard has similar remarks, leading to the con-
clusion that the articles in both papers were written after
the division in Mr. Churchward'a case, but before the
adoption of Mr. Bentinck's amendment which included
hat case.

The house, after the above division, adopted the follow-
ing resolution :—" Resolved—That an humble address be
presented to her Majesty, praying that she will be gra-
ciously pleased to give directions for the removal of all
persons in the commission of the peace of any county, city,
or borough who have been found, either by committees of
this house or by royal commissions guilty of, or privy or
assenting to, corrupt practices at parliamentary elections.**

In the division by which Mr. Sheridan's Fire Insurance
motion was rejected by a majority of 59, the minority
consisted almost exclusively of liberal members. The few
exceptions included Mr. Beecroft, Mr. Albert Grant, Mr.
Darby Griffith, Hon. H. Jolliffe, Sir B. Lacon, Lord G.
Lennox, and one or two others. Mr. Gladstone, Mr.
Milner Gibson, Sir G. Grey, the Marquis of Harlington,
Mr. Goachen, and a few other liberals of the late govern-
ment voted with the majority, together with Mr. T.
Hughes, Mr. T. Potter, Viscount Amberley, Mr. Ayrton,
