Mr. NAPIER asked the Chief Secretary for
whether certain masters of National Schools in
in the county of Donegal, had been arrested on
of unlawful confederacy and ribbonism ; and whe
said schools were in connection with the Nations
as non-vested schools ?
Mr. HonsuAN said he had received no inform

This bill was read a second time.

BLEACHING, &C., WORKS (NO. 2) BILL.
The debate on the second reading of this bill, wasi
resumed by

Mr. BAXTER, who said he was not prepared to argue
the question of the non-interference of the Legislature
between master and servant, but stated his objections to
the House proceeding further this session with the bill.
All the masters on the east coast of Scotland had peti-
tioned against it, and so had sections of the operatives.
He objected to Mr. Tremenhere's report, on which the
bill was based, and the manner in which he had taken the
evidence, as one-sided and partial. The hours of labouf
did not now exceed those proposed by the bill, and so far'
from occupyine. 60 hours a week, as stated in the report/
did not amount' to 50 hours a week. The honourable'.
member entered into many of the difficulties with whiclt
the manufacturers had to contend against, especially iron,
the weather, and said that unless the hon. and learned
member for Youghall postponed the bill and obtained
further information on what he proposed to legislate, the
bill in its present form would inflict material an serious
injury on an important branch of trade. The provisions
of the bill showed that those who had drawn it up
were not conversant with the subject. One of the
effects of the bill would be to substitute female for male
labour.

Colonel DUNNE supported the second reading of t
Mr. DuNcAN opposed the bill on the ground that
