he thought he might venture to say that all their
legislation on this subject had es yet foisted sathely.
Select committees on the subject bad sat in 1832, 1847, end
1806, the evidence of which, embodied ia three very huge
voltunes, we of such magnitude se almost to deter aay one
from reeding it. After tee report of the committee ot 1847
shill was introduced by Mr. Reeky into the House at Cam-
s moos, and in 1860 another bill was brought under their lord-
ships' attention by Lord Harrowlry, which went through every
stage of their lordships' hone, bat at too late a period to pre
Into law. In 1869 another noble friend of his (Lord Ebury)
then Lord IL Grosvenor, introduced a Win* the House
Cannon which went into committee but unfortunately
a the previous make en act had been 'pawed limiting the
period for keeping open public names on Sunday to ten
o'cisek. That mason excited a greet deal of diesatisfectioa
sad • large amount of misrepteseetaticy, sad ultimately hie
table friend was obliged to abandon Ids bill. He (Lord
Chelmsford) wee afraid that the diftioaltke which stad ia
the way of passing even • moderate measure oa
this subject were °Deaden* inerseed by in-
judicious legislation. He had ao desire to interfere
with the poor man's Sunday; adther did le wish OD the
other head that the legislature should est ea mat* of
naming places of public resort oa Deadeye, benne the pre-
oedema would be extended in every dhroodoe, mad the weak
would be that Sunday woad be • day of Bones and riot.
Their lordships could hardly form any main of the extent
to which Sunday twang =a carried, andel', in the PoPtt-
lons suburbs of the metropolis, in which there was a more
brisk and stirring trade tarried on at Su Jaya than any
ei day. The law as it at present stood wan entirely power-
less. The 29th of Charles 11. provided that all pawns should
se the Lord's-day apply themselves to the exercise of the
dales of piety, and no person should exercise hie ordinary
works of charity excepted. But the contraction pet
tea is statute rendered it a dead letter, as the men open-
