REFORMATORY SCHOOLS IN IRELAND.

Mr. Bagwell asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland
whether it was the intention of the Government to intro-
duce any measure for reformatory schools in Ireland.

Mr. Ilorsman said a bill was brought in last year, but
at the request of the Irish members it was withdrawn.
Ile had no intention of bringing in a bill this session.

SEA COAST FISHERIES • EILL.

Mr. M'Mahon moved the second reading of this bill. :

The Attorney-General for Ireland, objected to the
second reading because this bill, if passed, would leave
the Irish fisheries unprotected, and said he would there-
fore move its rejection. The learned gentleman referred
to the bills introduced by the hon. member in reference to
this subject in 1852, 1853, and 1854, and to his motion for
a committee in the last session, all of which bills were
rejected by the house, and on the motion for the committee
he was counted out. (Hear.) This bill proposed to do
away with the authority of the Board of Commissioners,
whose regulations had worked beneficially for the increase
of the trade, in a manner to which he could not yield his
assents lie condemned the arßner in which the learned
gentleman had handled the subject, 6.,.fth of his bills
differing from the other, and he added that he should
have no objection to the consolidation of the Irish fishery
laws, that on the whole worked vieil.

A long discussion took place, in which Colonel Dunne,
Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Napier, Captain Scobell, Mr. G. Butt,
Mr. Bowyer, Lord Naas, Mr. Meagher, and Mr. Bellew
joined.
The house then divided, and there appeared—
For the amendment lB5
Against it lO 1

The bill was consequently lost.
JUDGMENTS EXECUTION, &C.. BILL.

The house went into committee- on this bill. "
Mr. M'Mahon said that as the hen. member (Mei
Craufurd) who had the bill in charge, had given up the
Sheriff's Court of Scotland, he should not insist upon the
amendment of which-he hail Divan nntine na to the
Lion of several .ranglish courts.
Colonel Dunne said that it had been promised that the
bill should be reprinted. That had not been done, and all
that they had before them was a heap of confused amend-
ments. lie thought that under the circumstances it would
be impossible for honourable members to understand what
they were about to discuss.
Mr. Craufurd said he had not promised to reprint the
bill, nor had he ever intended to depart from the ordinary
course. He might mention that he intended to introduce
a proviso that no English judgment should have effect
in Ireland which was more than twelve months old,
unless special leave were applied for and obtained from
the Irish Courts.

After some conversation on the subject of memorials
and judgments, as provided for by the bill, several
hon. members suggested that the bill should be reprinted,
so that it_maly pass through committee on Wednesday
next. :1!
In clause I,

The Attorney General for Ireland moved, as an amend_
ment, in line 11, to omit the word " memorial," and insert
"copy.'
Mr. Cratifurd objected to the amendment, which would
render the bill totally unworkable.
Sir E. Perry thought it was wholly immaterial whether
the words niemorial "or " copy " was used.
The committee divided, and the numbers were—
For the amendment 99
Against it

Majority 22 7

Mr. Craufurd said he would move that the /chairman
report progress, in order that he might have an oppor-
tunity of considering whether or not he would proceed
with the bill, now that the Attorney General for Ireland
had succeeded in destroying its'principle: (Hear, hear.)
