On the moti al that the bid do ram,
The Marquis of WESTMEATH said it had been alleged
as a reas n for passim( this bid that the mother of voters in
Ireland had featly &messed. He denied the truth of that
statement. The diminution was is the number of registered
voters, and It sites from the famine. If the Irish people
had desired as lames* of the franchise they would have
Cs
for it. The franchise was noihing more nor
leis than a pauper franchise, and, in his opinion, a 151. fran-
chise would produce no effect.
Tee bill was th n pared.
COUNTY COURTS EXTENSION BILL.
Lord BEAUMONT moved that the house go into com-
mutes ea this bill.
Lard BROUGHAM said he regarded this measure as one
of the mat impeded measures that had come before parlia-
ment for rosary years. The average amount of all the cease.
tried in lieciand, Scotland, and Ireland was under 401. At
the Spring Ariz a for Lsneaster and several other comities
in Dill the average sammint of the causes on which verdicts
were mowed was tither 151. 16s, or 161. 15s. The ma-
sses had incited the greatest interest throughout the country,
sad he hid received a great many letters urging him aot
to lose eight of it. Judges of &defeat courts and practi-
tioaen had furnished him with no less than 45 amendments,
mazy of which related to minor matters of de-
tail. and all of which required lineation —first,
au mount of their own merits ; and, moondly, lest, if
adopted, they she old interfere with the other provides' of
the bat Under these eirmtedasees he was of opinion that
the beet mine would be to refer the bill to a select com-
mittee. He did not inch' this suggestion with a view of
postponing th- measure; fur if be were on the committee,
and saw aay chance of such a result, he should be the first to
move that the chairman report progress. in order that the
bill might be passed at can, in the brat attainable form
He had nee the least intention of proposing that einem .
should be z maned.
Lord WItARNCLIFFE, on the whole, tlioaght the re-
ign/Mg of the bill to a select committee would conduce to its
impransent.
L BEAUMONT said, knowing as be di 1 that the
noble and Leaned lord was a MOM supporter of the bill,
and that their lordship. were all assigns that the
bill eh mild go forth in as perfect a form as risible,
he naturally felt reluctant to refuse to accede to
the suireestioe which bed last been made. There was,
however, some difficulty in the matter. He had** objecting
M the cousioeration in committee of minor details; but the
noble and leaned lord (Brom:ham) proposed three rather
important alterations in the bill. Hs thought it would
be bed t) reserve the proposal until the bill had passed
through committee, lesviog the committee to deal only with
minor details.
Lord BROUGHAM said be had the concurrence :in his
proposal of three of the greatest law authorities of the enan•
try. the late Lord Chancellor, sad the late and present Chief
Justice of the Q Beech; and it would be strange if '
with respect to a bill which would effect the posted change
ever mate in the legal juriediution of this country, their lord-
ships were to take a leap in the dark, and perilously to dis-
mead the minim of the greatist law autheeities of the land.
Lord BEAUMONT sad that under these circumstances,
and seei,g that it was the wish co both sites of the house, he
(L-rd Beaumont) would not oppose the bill being sent to
• select committee.
It WA accordingly agreed to refer the bill to a select
sesamitme.
MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS (IRELAND) BILL.
Oa the PAM of the Earl of CA111.131.1, this bid was read
• seemil time.
