CROWDED DWELLINGS PREVENTION BILL.

On the rake fur going into committer: on this bill,
Yr. AYRTON obeerved that when it came down from
the Lords the bill was confined to the metropolis, but It had
since been altered to make it extend to the whole country
It contained only two classes, sad the first of the two ap-
peared to hiss to give most extraordinary powers to the ex-
ecutive government. FUR Instanee, it gave power to
enter • poor man's house and compel him to
Clthat his children were legitimate. or that
not living in a state of toncubluage. That wee just
such a power ea • commissioner of police might doer* to
exert:les, but also just such a power as parliament ought to
refuse. This bill seemed to be founded upon • re-
port of the Police Commissioner, who therein ca-
pes...ld his regret that the existing law did not
extend to rooms sad houses occupied by the
ran (sally. The bill, he was sure, had not been nen by
six ngneestativea, and he put it to the government whether
It was wise ist a hone of not more than a dozen members to
pan a mason neatening such middling and extraordinary
powers.
lb. COWPER., who had charge of the bill, explained
that the clamor of the bill to which the hon. and
.

learned gentleness objected really effected only piece. coming
under the description of common lodging-houses. Its
elect with regard to them would be moat beneficial; it
P Tito pt over the tlifilculty which had hitherto Arian
wirealpeot to the counteraction of the Common Lodging
Hones Act, by correctly and directly describing what
wee isesat by the word family. At the same time looking
at the fact that the bpi its amended form had not
yet reached the hands of members, he thought the more
prudent course would be to pntpone the committee for the
pressat.
Alter soma farther discussion, the committee was deferred
until Monday.
The hones then adjourned, at two o'clock, until 12 o'clock
an Monday.
