PARLIAMENTARY INTELLIGENCE.

1101.72 E OF LORDS, WzDxsuaa,2, Fu. 23.

CHELSEA IIQSPITAL.
Mr. Spicer, from Chelsea Hoilpitai, presented the Returns of
Unclaimed Army Prize wont,.
MARRIAGE ACT.
On the motion of the Earl of S ' Bono, the 3laniage Act
Amendment Bill was tread a second time.
OA3IE LAWS.
Earl OROSVENOR said, that he would ttenble their Lord-
ships with • very few words respecting the Game laws. He ought ,
consider it desirable to propose to .her Lordships to form a Com-
mittal° examine evidence similar to that which formed the Re.
port of the other House of Parliament ; but, as far as he could ,
judge on the subject at present, ht thought that Report quite suffi.
dent to justify their Lordship. in coming to • detenntrut son on the
question. He was aware that the evidence was not on oath as it
would be before their Lordships. but it was extremely full, and if,
their Lordships were to travel through every market town from
Donetshire to the Land's-end, they would find the truth of the .
statements of the Report. Many personsswere satisfied that some-
thing
should be done on this subject during the present Session,.
but they were not satisfied that the evidence before their Lordships
WAS sufficient tojustify any alteration in the law. It did appear I
to him that if the Rill should pain into a law, by allowing game
to come to a public market, the price of game would be diminished,
bemuse the temptation to come unlawfully by it would be re- ,
ductal. He should not move their Lordships to form a Co:nmittee
on this question.
The Earl of DARN LEY could not quite agree wth his Noble
Friend that the House ought to take ice granted all that was stated
in the Report of the House of Common*. He was not going to
move for a Committee, but their Lordships were enabled to exa-
mine evidence on oath, which was more suited to the dignity of the
house, and which Noble Lords knew the Howie of Commons
could not do. Ile thought it would be better for their Lordships
so have evidence at the first hand. He was convinced of the neces-
sity of some measure on the subject, and dterefore the Bill should I
have his support.—Adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, WEDSTSDAY, FED. 25.

......
Mr. BYNG presented a petition from metal pertains occupying
lands and house, near the Tower, praying that leave be not given to
bring in a Rill, which had been petitioned for, for building a dock
and warehouses in the parish of St. Catherine's, within the precincts
o.' the Tower. The reason why the petitioners now petitioned the
House against it waa, that they did not receive notice of such in-
tention until February butt. —The Petition was read.
Mr. 0 RENIELL then read the Report of the Committee which
had been appointed on the subject, and stated that the standing
ordm had rot been complied with, because the application to
Parliament had not been detennined on by the petitioners until a
very recent period. Ile (Mr. Grenfell) now moved that the
standing orders ibould be dispersed with ; and that notice should
be given to the inhabitants of St. Catherine's, previous to the Eimer
Se on, and that such should be deemed good
Mr. C. CALVERT hoped that the motion would not be granted;
its tendency was of a very injurious haunt, particularly to the in-
habitants of the parish of St. Catherine's, all of whom were decid-
* tly adverts to it.
31r. CURWEN expressed a hope that the decision of the Howe
would not p ace the inhabitants and proprietors of Ileum in a worse
situation than it notice had b:en given them before the Michaelmas
Session.

Mr. Alderman TIIOSI PSON said, that the inhabitants would
be put to comparatively trivial inconvenience, because they were
not manufacturers, but pasons to whom • removal was of little
consequence.
Mr. BR BAIT said, that although he wis unconnected with the
affairs of the City of London, yet, as the representative of a great
mercantile hotly, he thought it his duty to oppose the motion; as
he would at all times oppose any resolution to force persons from
their residences under a plea that compensation was given them.
Bethought that at least time should be given them to make at.
rangements, and that a year could cause no inconvenience to those
who proposed building the dock.
Mr. WALLACE considered the motion as one whi.h would
produce con.dilemble advantage to the country, as well as to lam.
don. Besides its utility to commercial interests in general, the
plan was a great and magnificent one, and he trusted it would
suateed.

Mr. LITTLETON gave his cordial support to the Member fur
&hod, who opposed the motion.
Lb. PH 11,1.131011 E contended that fresh notice should
certainly be given, however apparent the benefits might be which
would maul( from such a proceeding.
Mr. Alderman BRVDtiES s..id, that the subject altogether re-
quired a more mature deliberof.cn, and he should oppose the
inotiun on this principle.
Mr. Alderman IIEIGAT E said he should oppose the motion
altogether. The lion. Getideman (31r. Grenfell) bad not made out
a case for departirg from the standing ertier. It was a hard ease
that Parliament should give power to certain individuals of pulling
down 800 houses, and depriving Bthe persons of their habitations.
He denied that it was a work of a public nature. It was to be ex-
ecuted by private individuals fur private objects; and the advan-
tages to be derived were private in every sense of the sired. The
House ought to be satisfied that such was not the use before they
granted permission for building the dock.
Mr. HYNO said there was hot a single case like the present in
which the standing order had been departed from.
Mr. BARING said the only question fur The House was, whe-
ther et not there were sufficient grounds for the House to act as
they had so frequently done. lie thought there certainly was.
The delay of a year might produce combinations against the mea-
sure, and perhaps destroy the plan.
The House then divided upon the question, whether the parties
should be allowed to give fresh notices.
For the question . 7g lAgainst it - 30
Majority in favour of giving fresh notices - 48
On our return to the gallery we found—
Lord LOWTHER had presented a Petition from the Shepherds
of Cumberland, praying for a repeal of the dog tax.
Mr. ELLIS hoped the prayer of the petitioners would be at-
tended to, and that the Government, in repealing the taxes, would
attend to these petitions. To tire people of that quarter of the
country, and the Scottish borderers, their dogs were of as much
arrviee as their tools to the mechanics. The tax, in (.orot of
revenue, was small, and if repealed would produce a considerable
benefit.

Mr. CURWEN bore testimony to the good conduct of the peti.
timers, mod hoped the Chancellor of the Exchequer would comply
with their request--Ordered to be printed.

biter and malt for Tuesday. the lith of March.
The same Hon. Member then moved fur certain returns on the
same subject"; alvo for an account of Church Corporation Land,
from ion to 11;24.
LAND TAX.

Ir. BRIGHT hoped that the caeca decided by the Judges on
tha subject of she lard tax would be immediately laid upon the
table.. pursuant to the rule laid sown last Session. that such ease,
should be submitted to the House within twenty days of the meet-
irg of Parliament.
Jar. HERRIES stated the cases were on the table.
SCOTCH DISTILLERS.

Lord BINNING presented a petition trout the distillers of Scot-
land. preying for an timali/ation of the duties on spirits, the Irish
Mariners hmtmg advantages denied to the Scotch.
Mr. MMNNEDY espresactl his thanks to die Chsneeltne of the
1: actieener for the alleviations made in the Distillery Laws of
Sc rtlar. sad he hoped the system would be still purstuAl, as it
had already been attended with the happiest results.
