QUESTIONS.-LANDLORD AND TENANT LACY

Mr. V. SntILIT asked what were the intentions of th
government with regard to the landlord and tenant law ?

Lora PALMERSTON said the government last year had
been induced to take charge of a bill introduced by an
independent inenibet on the subject, but from the difficulties

thrown in its way, by the introducer, amongst others, the

government did not .propose to introduce, a measure this
session themselves; nor were they prepared to take charge of
any private bill on the subject. . .

REVISION OF THE STATUTES.

In reply to Mr. LCCKE KING,
Lord PALMERSTON said the government were not pre-
pared to introduce a bill for the amendment of the statute
book ; but if the honourable member wothid bring in a bill
himself on the subject, the government,would be glad to
assist him to carry it through that house.

THE GUARDS' MEMORIAL,

In reply to Lord GODERICH,

Mr. F. PEEL said the memorial of the officers of the
Guards had been under consideration, but it had been fonnd
that the grounds upon which it was based were erroneous,
and the government was not prepared to make any altera-
tion in the recent regulations, of which the Guards
complained.

THE CM OF COLONEL TORR.
Mr. niellus DUNCOMBE asked whether it was intended
by the ministry to make any alterations in the laws relating
to aliens ? whether the releatie of Colonel Turr has taken
place, and whether that officer was at liberty to return to
the service of England ?

Lord PALMERSTON replied that there was no intention of
making any alteration in the law with regard to aliens .
With regard to the second question, the result of communi-
cations that had passed between her Majesty's government
and Austria had been, that Austria had expressed herself
ready to deliver up Colonel Turr, and he was now at liberty
to return to the service of this c :untry. As the matter had
ended in a satisfactory manner, it would be no use going
any further into the question. The question was not
altogether so simple as his hon. friend appeared to imagine,
Austria acted for rights which she thought she had a right
to maintain, but she had shown every disposition to come
to terms with her Majesty's government on the subject.
Mr.! ROEBUCX wished to know. whether Colonel Turr was
liberated without any indignity being cast upon him ?
Lord PALMERSTON said that as far as he knew Col. Turr
was liberated simply.

Mr. WILITESIDE gave notice that on an early day he should
again call attention to the case of Col, Turr.

A short di=cussion then arose upon the subject of Refor.
