THE CASE OF MARY ANNE PARSONS.
Mr. FITZROY said he wished to all attention to the
ease of the pencas who had just been tried en • charge of
having maltreated the unfortunate workhouse girl, whom
they took into service, to such a degree that she died it con-
sequence of the cruelty practised Maude her. He perceived
that owing W same informality they had estsped. An alle-
gyioa was nude, at least was not denied by the muster of
the workhouse, to the effect that when the unfortunate girl,
by mama of the brutal conduct of the parties to her, was
not able to perform onus work given her, the workhouse
muter, when told of the circumstance, declared that her
muter sad mistress should have broken a stick on her.
However, on being presval for an answer, he neither
admitted academical the charge, but contented himself with
refusing to answer. Now the question which he (Mr.
Fitzroy) had to ask was this—whether the pooelaw authori-
ties had gins directions for a more searching investigation
into the cam and into the conduct of the muter of the work-
house in particular. (Hear, beer.)
Mr. BAINES stated in reply that as long as the ease was
in course of investigation before the proper crimi-
nal tribunal, the poor law author.ties did not think fit to
interfere. (Hear, hear.) However, as soon as they saw the
ferns of the case, they instantly ordered a searching investi-
gation, which be begird to emirs the hon. gentleman would
be e'rictly proceeded with. (Hear, hear.)
BRIDGEWATER HOUSE.
Lord DUNCAN said that,ia rising to move for aeopy (deny
application for permission to build walk in the Green-park, la
front of Bridgewater Ism, also say minutes or other docu-
ments relating to the garden attathed to Bridgewater-home,
which have bees named or condi:ere' by the Commissionees
of her Majesty's Woods and Forests, he would make a few
observations. In the lint place, he thought it ne-
cessary to state his sazitty to explain that he was
no: influenced by perusal feeling wield the noble
pr .prietor of the house in bringing forward the
matter. Oa the contrary, he believed the encroachment
ea the park had taken plus without that noble earl's know-
ledge. His object la moving for all papers connected with
the baildisg was that he might aseertais who it was that'
asked permlmies from the Commissioners of Woods and
Forests to make encroachments on the crown property.
(Hear, hear.)
Mr. BAN EES wished to know if the noble lord raised the
question ea public groands, inasmuch ae he (Mr. Betakes),
ewe ef the public, felt that the result would be gait, the
enan to that espected by tho noble lord. (Hear, hear.)
In kng at the house then in tour,* of erection, he should
my he saw ezieg up a splendid emeimen of arehlteetural
homey—(mar, hear)—gad which only required the addition
of • gamin to make it the most beautiful mamba in the
metropolis. (Hear, hear.) He reouliacted wham that part
lithe park wee la • far different condition—when it was
the depo.itori of ashen's, and the lou• p of the idle sad
Indolent. (Hear, hear.) There fore he, as one of the public,
returned thanks for the vast improvement made; sad, if it
should Ire mo ameseary to alter the hue by public mut-
neat, ha would most cordially support the measure.
(Hear, hoes.)
Sir DE LACY STARS said the object of the noble lord
was to prevent enerominment on the public rights; and if
the argument of tie boa. gentleman wt.° bad just sot elowa
WPM to prevail, any person might encroach on the public
pot, at the ground that he did so fur the purpose of beauti-
fylag sad improving it. (Hear, hear )
Sir B. HALL in reply to the quiestion whether or not any
individual felt himself aggrieves', helmed to sty that com-
plaints had been made to himself, se one of the reetr.politan
members, sod he keel, la cionneakin with laL hon. friend who
had just est dm, been requested to bring the subject before
the noun. He speed with the has. gentleman opposite
(Mr. Bashes) that Bridgewater been was one of the greatest
ormaseiste the metropolis ; bet he must observe that, if
the intentica of the parties had bees ;tarried out, the public
would sr t have bad the advantage a 'Seism it. (Hear, hear )
The whole subject was one of great importance. He
Ind been informed that encroachments on St. James's-perk
and on the Green-park were in coatemplation ; sad it was
the duty of the 'metropolitan meseb.n to resin any such at-
tempts. A plat of groem.d sear Albert-gate had been taken
a, sad as hes mills' set up. It would also be recollected
that ground bad been enclosed near Park.laae. He be-
lieved that but for the disc onion which bat taken place Is
that house, not only would the wall of Briogewstar.house
bare been made higher than it was, bit ken railings would
also have been placed.
Lord J. RUSSELL advitted that it wee a matter of the
highest importance that the public should be guaranteed Po
eopywient of the ogees sir la every part of the public pee*
bat he could not think that whet is this case bed bees
allege.' as • complaint had been any public inconvealease.
(Hear, hear.) Ile cecitiely bad been surprised to see •
wall rising which seemed as if it were intended to make the
garden of Bridgewater Houma entirely private. He under-
stood, however, that the Commissioners of Woods mad
Forests had interfered, and that upon their remonstrease
the dodge, which WAS not in the original plan of Lord
Ellesmere, was abandoned, and this bows r wall was begun.
So far Meehan being anything to find fault with, be must
my that, with the eueption of the wall, which had been
lowered, sad which was not origioally built, he understood,in
accordance with Lord Ellesmere's desire, he thought the
public were indebted to has lordship for making .so hand-
some an addition to the metropolis. (Haar, hear) With
napalm to the stAtement of the hon. baronet (Sir B. Hall),

mines that they had the pewee of leasing, subject
to certain restrictions, end, after seeertaising that, the noble
lord pursued the inquiry no farther. With respect to the
wall, immediately atter a complaiat had been made, It was
reduced ; sad now, net only did nett the well form any im-
pediment to the retitle view tram the park, but to remove
it motel be estirely to destroy the sagelarity se WI view, by
exhibitieg the descent from the Istreee. (Rear hear.)
There egad be no doubt that if the Wei were steel retried

be a greet Wary and misfortune le the public If that were
done. (Hier, bear.) The public had a right to a nuisance
—(laeghter)—bat, ma the other band, those who did sot
desire to use a minutes. might well complain of it.
Mr. J. 8. WORTLEY treed with the right hon. gentle.
man that the strict carrying out of the lease would be a
great Injury to the public. Unquestiosably the encroach.
meat was a breach of the covenants of the lease. Hut a part
of the garden was freehold, and were Lord Ellesmere
aeta-
atrd by a desire to exclude the public, be might build on
that part a welt of any height. (Hear.) It was admitted es all
hands that he had dose a public service by the
erection of this essgnifiorat banding, having previously
shown himself a great patron of art and szience; sad in
mondani; the gaieties before the how, it should not be
forgo:tee that he was inclining a considerable additional
expense is order to give the public a separate entrance to
his gallery of pictures.
Lord DUNCAN,in reply, said he should not have brought
forward the select if the Commissioners of Weeds and
Forests had done their duty. The question was whether the
nohle lord, under the lease, bad • right to erect the wall. la
his opinion, he had no power to do so; bat the matter
would be set at rest if the government would furni.h him
with a copy of the lease, ss well as of the ether papas for
which he moved. .

Mr. HENLEY thoughtthe house was very much indebted
to the noble lord for bringing the subject under the eon-
nderation of the holm, because it was quite clear that the
intention of the parties was to build a wall in front of the
mansion. That wall was erected, bet had since been redtteed
in height ; but theta could be no doubt that if the wall had
remained as it was, facilities would have been given to the par-
ties to make =Janda and to plant tress and shrubs upon them.
1 he motion was then 'greets to.
GRANT TO THE ROYAL ACADEMY.
. .

Mr. HUME hoped there would b. no objection to his mo-
tion for "an account of the receipt and expenditure of the
Royal Academy, in each year since 1836, when there were
47,0001. funds in hand, with a detailed statement of themes.
appropriated for salaries, and showing the eminent of sock
funds now in hand for general purposes." H made this
motion in consequence of what had fallen from the noble
lord last night, that he had some idea of galling upon the
house to vote a sum of money for the Royal Act:lessy. He
regretted that the noble lord had come to that determination
without having the accounts before him. In 1839 he had
submitted hie motion that the whole of the National Gallery
should be given up for the use of the pahlie, that the aca-
demy should not take money there. and that the public
should know what that money was. He w.ly lost his modem
by a majority of 6. The committee of last session
had recommended that the whole of the National
Gi should be applied to the use of the national
lcollection of pictures, end that the Royal Academy
should be removed. No notice had bees taken of that.
The evidence which ittel been given before a C3Oililittell of
the house, of which the hoe. member for Duatiries was
chairman, showed that the funds of the Royal Academy in
1838 were no lose than 47,0001. They tad had tie use of
the National Gallery for years, free of rent, and they had
been so illiberal that they were the only body public or
private in London, which had refused to admit the public
gratis after the exhibition, regardless of that which ought
to have been their first object, to form the taste of the puhlie
by accustoming them to see the fine arts. He was
satisfied that there was no country in the world
which could boast of inch a collection of pictures
as we had at Hampton Court, and yet the waking
cloves, instead of spending their holidejs is ptedie houses,
went, to the number of 500 or 600 a day, to enjoy themselves
at Hampton Court, and never had then beeu the least
damage done to the whole collection. The hon. member
concluded by submitting the motion.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that he had frecineutly had occa-
sion to object to returns of this kind; and when hon. gentle-
men had made motions of this kind, he sod the hon. member

for Tamworth had succeeded in ppeenuading the house that
the ortier ought to be reminded. He could not see how any
eve could maintain that there was any ground for such a ;
motion. The hon. gentleman might maintain an opinion
that the Royal Academy was bad—that it did not promote
art—that it ought not to be allowed accommodation in a
public building at the expense of the public ; he might
maintain that Sir Joshua Reynolds and all the great
artists that belonged to the kingdom were mere disobeys ; all
this might be maintained, but how was the hon. pathless
to maintain that the how ought to take an account of the
amount of money which had beat received from the exhibi-
tion of the works of them artists ? He might as well ask
how much Madame Tasseled had received.
Mr. HUME —lf the public gave her rooms, I would.
Lord J. RUSSELL—If it were argued that it had been
said when the rooms were taken you should give us a re.
turn of all you received, that would have been a coatract. It
was evident that in this case, although the house had •
right to turn them out, they had no right, then
was tee stipulation, to ask how much they
had ne Prod. After ill, these pictures were their property ;
you gave them the rooms in which they exhibited them ; but
the pm-tures which the public went to see were the property
of the artists. It was complained that the academicians
would not admit the public to see the pictures without pay.
meet. Sir Martin She., with whom he had spoken on the
subject, said that the academicians had considered
the matter, and that they were of opinion that
many valuable pictures would be injured and the
miaiatures stolen. His belief was that gratuitous admis-
sion was wrong—that gratuitous admieskes would not have
been as safe as the payment of le.
Mr. EWART said that many years ago, when the veto
time was whether the Royal Academy should have apart-
ments in the National Gallery, he had stated that as long as
the Royal Academy remained in a private building they
were a private body, but the momeat you built a National
Gallery, and gave the greater part of it to them, thee he
said that they beam. responsible to those whose building
the occupied. They were putout of their former possession,
and occupied publiepierty, and on that ground his hon.
friend had very pro y moved for this return. Another
reason existed why hon. friend should have this return.
We had not only put them into a national building, but we
were going to vote then money to give them another build-
ing. He 'eked, thou, whether this body was not respon-
sible to the country foe the monies they had received. He
supported the modes because the Royal Academy had a
loess standi in the Natimeal Gallery, and bemuse they came
beim the nubile for publis money.
Mr. BARRIS said that if be were preparel to print
one shilling oldie public money to this academy be cmtainly
should support the motion of the lion. member ; but, as he
was not prepared to grant one shilling to the academy, he
hesitated to support the motion, as It did not appear
whether this institution should be considered a public or a
private one. He was fearful of Netting a precedent which
might hereafter lead to the consequence of examination Into
the amounts of private institutions width he should depre-
cate. It was fee that reason only that he hesitated in scald-
ing to the motion of the hos. memb. r for Montrose., for la
regard to those who constituted this public institution he did
not know why there should be any opposition to the propo-
sition, which we. In every reaped reasonabl
Mr. HAWES agreed with the hon. member that this mo-
tion would set a precedent which the house would do well to
smolder. What was tie history of the Royal Academicians ?
They were established by the set of his Majesty George 111.
who granted them a charter, and at the Fame time gave them
rooms in Somerset House for the exhibition of their pictures,
and as theft rooms had slam bees surrendered to the public
use, the pelmet puds had other apartments allowed them
sa the Natkmal °Arty. Did that make them a public
body ? He contended that it did not. If the Repel Aca-
demy had over had ore sloes farthing granted by Mellows
he admitted that narl4meat would have had a right
to incisive late the appropelation of these funds.
; This asedensy seat sedate abroad. Was that an ? They
conferred peadose as the widows of artiste, and on
I thou who had not suecesded in life in =skies a pr
for old age. This was the expenditure of toe fund, and
tris was the fund which it was asked that parliament
should inquire into. Unless it could be shown that this was a
public fund parliament had no right to inquire. This matter
had been disowned three or four timee, to his knowledge,
• and in every instance these funds were proved to have been
fund, derived entirely kom the genius of the ardsts them-
, mks s. What object would be gain. dby the lequiry ? If
the accounts were published, it would be to the honour of
the Academy, and not lead to alter the destination of thew
I fithda. The public had no interest la a peeunissy painted
view. As to the great to the Amboy, when hon.

Kr. HENLEY—Under what tenure did they hold them ?
If they bad mainly held them by sufferance of the mown,
be took It that sow they held them by infamies of the pub
lie. If it were not so, by whose sufferance did they hold ?
Who paid for the repair of this building? That was not
paid tor by the crown, but out of the ordinary revenue of
this wintry. If the academicians had this buildiag for the
purpces of showing pictures, he took it that that was • ow
which enabled them to derive the money which they now
derived from haag a public building Washed by the pub-
lic, thus 'ivies than the oppertunity of getting money
without met to themselves. He did not think
that that wee the whole gouda,. It had been en-
nonacid by the Chancellor of the Exchequer that he was
analog to parliament to ask for a grant of money to this
very body. Before he mine to them to sib for • giant, he
(Mr. Mosley) should like to have an explanation for what
society did he ask for the money? He tboutht that the
question now did not stand on the mine ground on which
others had been brought before the house. There were
many who might be unwibing to vote for the grant
of money. Before they came to • decision on the
question. he should like to know the puticulars of the
cue. No man would objset more than be did to go into an
Inquiry where them was any body which was strictly
private, but he doubted the fact that this was
altogether a private concern. In the drat instance
you had • charter—a charter, no doubt, granted
for public purposes. That of itself was not actually of a
private nature. It related to pensions to widows—to the
students sent out to different parts of the continent to gain
experience and instruction in particular matters to which
their attention was turned. All these were great objects of
a public nature. They had existed by the use of a public
building for carrying out them objects. If the hon. member
for Montrose pressed his motion to • division, he (Mr.
Bosley) should vote with bim.

Kr. NHWDEOATE 'skid the hots. member for Oxford-
shire, 'uprising he bid put a person into • public hones,
whether he would require that he should publish a retail;
under schedule /3 because he had got • Hoene@ ? (A laugh.)
That seemed to be the case with them artiste. They had
had certain facilities afforded them for thispnblic exhibitions.
With the firmest of the public they lad used these rooms.
He could not me that the house had • right to inquire as to
the funds, with a view to dispose of thaw funds which were
the proceeds of their labours.

Mfr. P. HOWARD could not agree with the bon. member
for Oxfordshire that the poseeeton of the charter by the
Royal Academy teoesesrily constituted them a public body.
There were a number of companies strictly private that bad
the advantage of a charter, but it was not exactly upon those
grounds that he should oppose the motion. The rooms were
first granted to the academy by the private munificence of
George III.; they were some rooms in Somerset House
which be himself might have occupied—in fact, they were
part, at that time, of the palace of Somerset. It was very
ungenerous to lay great stress upon a very small gift to
those who so essentially contributed to the public amusement
and gratification.

Mr. HUME simply said that the academy originally ob-
tained a portion of the building intended fur the Net:ooal
fl liery on the plea thtt they had no funds to build a house
for themselves. His boo. friend, the Under Secretary for
the Colonies, did not seem to know the difference between
money and Ines], having assorted that the academy had never
received a shilling of the public money, while the fact was
they had obtained a building from which they obtsioed an
Moons of 3,5001. a year. He (Mr. Hume) thought
the time had arrived when they should be removed.
Let them restore to premises of their own, and he did
no• care a fig about their accounts. They bid accumulated
a fund of 103,0001., and shoald now be able to erect a build-
ins forthentaelvm.

INCOME TAX.

Col. DUNNE moved for a return of the amount of income-
tax paid in England, and reckoned as English income, but
which is derived from Irish property, whether real Property,
mortgages, pensions, or property of any other description.
Mr. HATTER said that there would be no objection to
give the return, if it were found possible to prepare it.
Perhaps his hon, and gallant frisad would postpone his
motion until after Easter, and in the meantime he (Mr.
Hayter) would mortals' whether the production of the
paper wire practicable.
Mr. FRENCH recommended the poe'ponemcnt of the
motion, but said that the return, if produced, would prove
that half the rental of Ireland paid income tax in England.
After a few words from Col. Dunn' and Major Birgit
au,the motion was withdrawn.
