THE ROMAN GOVERNMENT.
The Marquie of NORMANBY moved for copies and ex-
tabes addeeseed in her .ffirojeetee
ta-iK 18613, and lffilf, referring "to
the condition and adminietration of the Raman States. He
said the object of the motion was to show how the effort!,
of himself and Mr. Lyons had bean impeded in advancing
the improvement of the Roman States by a declaration of
Lord Palmerston in 1866, that the Holy City was never
betterpmstned than daring the absence of the Popes.
Lord WODEHOUSE mid there would be no objection to
jiving the papers, but their lordships were perhaps not suf-
Sourly aware that the circumstances to which his noble
triad referred did not occur in the present year or last
year, bet In 1849, and that the speech of Lord Palmerston
wee delivered in 1838. These matters had nothing to do
with the political event' of the present day. His noble
Mead aid that' these matters had some connexion with
the despatches of Mr. Lyon*, but he wu quite at a lose to
discover each connexion. The motion would lead their
lordships to puppet that it had reference to a large mass of
correspondence, but it in fact only included two
despatches, which related exclusively to the
speech delivered by Lord Palmerston in 1858.
He would not weary their lordships by going into an expla-
nation of what took place in 1849 and 1856 ; but he might
mention that the statement of Lord Palmerston was lased
on the official reports of her Majesty's consul at Rome.
The noble marquis said that being at Par. he knew what
wee the real date of things at Rome better than the Bri-
tish consul ; but when the papers were laid before the
house their lordships would be able to form a correct opi-
nion upon that point.
After a few words from the Marquis of NORMA NV( in
reply the return was agreed to.
CROWN DEBTS AND JUDGMENT BILL.

Thu bill bei.ed through committee.
(X)UNTY COURT RETURNS.

Lord BROUGHAM said that his object in moving for
these returns was to show the extent of the jurisdiction of
the county courts and the vast extent of the business which
they transacted. Those returns would show that no fewer
than 738,000 suite had been commenced in the courts
in one year, and that the amount of money claimed
amounted to very nearly two millions, of which
970,0001. had been recovered. That showed how ex-
tremely important this local adjudication had been.
There was one particular class of actions, namely, those for
from 201. to IV., in which a companion between the supe-
rior and county courts would show the importance of the
latter. He found that in a given period there were 378
actions of this description tried in the superior courts, and
3,631 in the county courts. This showed the extensive use
of the latter tribunal, and how expedient it would be
from time to time they promoted the county court judger
to the superior courts, selecting those who had distinguishea
themselves by their judicial ability in the lower tribunal
The noble and learned lord concluded by moving for the
return..

COUNTY CORONERS BILL.
This bill passed through committee, after a suggestion
by the Earl of Powrs to the effect that the tame for
averaging the coroners' salaries salaries should be extended
from Ave to ton years, which, however, was not acceded to
by Lord CII6IIIWORD, who had the carriage of the bill.
STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATES BILL.
Lord DENMAN moved to resolve that as regarded the
Stipendiary Magistrates Bill the difficulties attending the
execution of the office of justice of the peace in unincorpo.
rated populous and increasing towns and places, constitute
circumstances of such real urgency as to reader the icons.
diets consideration of the raid bill n . The noble
lord said it was necemary toagree to this resolution in order
that the bill to which it referred might be read a second
time.

Lord REDESDALE did not think the bill one of urgency,
and therefore their lordships ought not to depart from the
standing order which they had all agreed to. The bill might
be a valuable one, but it wag emiainly very imperfectly
drawn and would therefore require great amendment in
committee.

Purl GRANVILLE considered that the bill rnightbe read
a second time, seeing that there had been some mistake
with regard to briugiog the bill within the standing orders
of the house.

After • short discussion, in which the Loni Chancellor,
Lord Dungannon, Lord Stanley of Alderley, and Lord
Chelmsford, took part,
The LORD C/WiCELLOR put the question that the
standing order be impended., and declared that the non.
contents bad it. _ _

The bill wax conaequetitly lost.
The house adjourned at 10 minutes to 8 o'clock.
