Mr. Surds, in expl.mation, said, that he was not
contemplating the abolition of lmrgage tenures,
but he thought that while we did allow them to

Mr. TIL/NEY thought that by the ELAM pro-
posed by the Chancellor of the Reductor'', the
whole of the Bill would be rendered entirely Int-

embar—
rassment; the noir he went by was, that it
was right to make sure of the prominent case ; but
to he cautious that no clauses were introduced, in.
eluding any thing which it was not their intention
to include. It appeared to him, that a traffic such
es
the bill went to punish, ought to be punished iu
every case in which it could be proved, whether ex-
press or implied. The princirmal ease was guard-
ed a.tuitist by the bill, the others lie conctived were
punishable by common law.
Mr. Poirrupay said, that he frit great diffidence
' in dilferiag from so high an iiiithority as the Right
' Hon. Gentleman, but he thought that if the word
" express" was rem tied, ter Gill would be altogether
injurious. It edit to co..tradistiliguish between
the express and implied c r , which saw ill fact

tocpre.% one, that they would punish it, but !on
doubt fully of the implied, that they would not pu-
nish it. il.• believed that it would prevent all the
good intentkil by die Bill.
The SPIt at KIM explained.
:llr. Tat:seer said, that he had never felt greater
satisfac!ion its..i tit the manner In which the Right
Gentleman had treated the bill in its first
mar ; perhaps he did not doubt the zeal and sin-
cerity of thoue lie was addressing; limit, with all their
seal and sincerity, they had elected any one
point originally intriitiell by the bill. The Bight
Hon. neurlreurn Mid caltioned them. in account
of the very heavy penalty attached to the 'ante,
to be cautious of admitting implteation. The
great penalty was the farlkiture of the *eat at.
tetapted to be so illegally aattaiiratl, au that. it
really amounted to no more than the loss of time
to the individual. They talked of assisting the
floilourable Goinleatin who had brought in the
Bill, and certainly they did assist hue in getting
rid or every part of it which was calculated to sa-
tisfy the public. The Government of the country
appeared to hint to be setting their twee gigot oat the
most wholesome measure that hail come before
them, and to them all tut consequences were en
be attributed. •
Mr. PEaccirsi said; that the lion. Gssedemats
had argued that the Government had ahewn au its.
clinatiou to set their face against ehe bill; he►
however, put it to the Hen. Gentleman, whether,
if lion. Meinbers on his side the House bad wished
to reject the WO, they could not hare opposed it
more for • lably titan they had done ? Ha trusted
that whatever the Hon. Gentleman 'night thiak. the
bill would be carried tiirois4h, without produciag
the effects which had been anticipated.
Mr. Cvawss said, that the [louse had When a.
different view to what he had of the Bill, but he wee
thankful Fur the adoption of such part as they bad
approved; yet he still hit that their opinions were
against it. anti that such parts its had been
adopted were not a matter of {:hoito but of nevem-
