a Bill of a similar nature had last year met with
the approbation of the House. io two of its stages
—but; ilk there were many Members in the present
Parliament who were not acquainted with its ob-
ject. It bebawe necessary that he should explain it
for their information. This subject was originally
brought before the Home, to consequence of Peti-
tions from the North Riding of Yorkshire, which
waselind before the Committee on the Pools Lass.

they would not lung du au. Last year fuss Pt is-
twit were presented from the North Riding of
Yorkshire, complaining that the propiietims of
mines in different districts refused to contribute to
the poor's rates. Now. many more had been pre-
slotted, sod he believed shut Petitions were at pre-
sent ow their way Irons Cornwall, meting that the
protnietorti of tunics had iiitruduced the it3steni
-there. in the present year. It they wished to team
the consequences, they hod only to look at wliat
took pl.ce iu Yorkshire. In one district, where
nomber of paupers was 1,70, no less flirt'

of the properly in the district produced only
6,107/. a•year, out of which the poor were to be
maintained. The some observation might be made
iu several other plaCes—and unless some messtire
was taken to remedy the evil, the consequences
would be ruinous. The Select Committee on the
Poor's Laws took this view of the subject, and he
introduced this Bill, last year. on the principlt
adopted in their Report. The principle of the
Bill went to place the profits of the owners
of mines, generally, on the same footing on which
every other species of prop,rty was placid. He
media to introduce a clause, to exempt lead
mines, where benefit societies %tete formed—end so-
other clause to separate from its operation mines of

portance and ueceseity. The Hoo. Gestlentau then
moved the second nestling.
Colonel WOOO oppo.,ed the motion. The Hon.
Gentlemen's object was, it appeared, to render loot
mines liable to the poor's rates. tie observed.
that, if the Bill went to a Committee, Ise would
propose a clause to exempt lion mines (tom no
operation. He might do so—hut perhaps the
Committee would not ii2,ree to it. For his own
part, he would not sanction any such extmptio.i.
The arguments the Huts. Gent. used were evidently
applicable to mines of every sort. He hail stated.
that iron mimes had never been taxed—but he could
not forget that lead mines were not regularly and
sytematically taxed either. If lie examined the
43d of Elizabeth, he would find 110 mention tussle
of them. The Hon. Gentleman meant slat' to pro-
pose a clause, exempting even lead intuits where
bent fit societies were established. But that did

nut satisfy him by tiny nu tool. It was, in fact.
liable to serious objections. This war not the
tune for entering into the general question of the
Poor Laws, which, though on their face they
might appear the poor nian's friend, were, in fact,
to their full operation his greatest enemy.—(Hear,
hear. I—He was of opinion that all the Cu. crosise

were most injurious to the poor luau's real interest.
—(/-/ear./—The exception of the lead mines.

this Bill, was also, he thought most injurious, for
,the effect oteuch an exception must evidently be.
to break up those benefit societies. which were in
general productive of Ito much good. 1t the ac-
knowledged effect of the Poor's Laws were bad, theta
he would say, don't drag on that property obit It

bard Lascett.ES said, there was no reason what-
ever to attrihtite any demoralising effect to this Bid.
The state of the ease was actually this :—The pro-
prietors of the mines had the benefit of the labour
of a arrtaiu number of working people, and then,
when they had nu employment for these people.
they threw them on the farmers of the vicinity fur
support. Out of a labouring populat of 5,237,
only 331 individuals were disengaged from the lead
mines. Why, then, should the miners throw this
great proportion on the farmers fur occasional sup-
port ? tie instanced, u a isruot of the mownesda-
lion of the pour`a rates in out or two districts of
the county of York, that to one, the rate, which.
iu 1801. was &messed at WV. wyr. in 1818, assessed
at 241341. and, in soother, winch hall no assessment
made iu 1801, the rate levied in lam was
.90W..
This wits a practical proof of the injurious effect ut
the exeutptota of the lead loonies.
Mr. Aldermau WOOO was altogether agtiiiist the
Bill. It would be to tolerate au atet•etvotient out
recognised by law. It' they adopted this eat
tiOo, they must next admit it lit iron and other ar-
ticles, perhaps iu tin, which war by charter extio+l,l
from the assessment.
