Mr. Cumin', had entertained hopes that the
treatment the Bill had received on its first rea
would •have induced the Hon. Member to give it
up. The effect of the Game Laws was to compel
any gentleman who endeavoured to preserve their
game to leave the country, so great was the odiunt
produced against them by an attempt to enforce
theu►. The laws in question were nut governed by our
principle of justice. The Bill could not reach the
objects it had iu view ; it could never prevent the
higher orders from purchasing. It was dangerous
to extend the existing penalties at a time when,
by the returns on the table, it appeared that no
less than 1.200 were under confinement for trans-
gressing the Game Laws. The Bull went to in-
crease the number of ►pies in the country.at present
large enough, and to coustitute the servant a spy
on the actions of his master. He therefore moved,
as an amendment, That the Bill be read a second
time this day six months. •
Colonel WOOD observed, that the author of the
measure was entirely hostile to the public being
►upplied with game ; and be had therefore acted
consistently in prohibiting the purchase of it. He,
however, being of a contrary opinion, and wishing
that there should be a plentiful market of the
article, could not support it. The means of going
to the root of the evil was to make game private
property. By the present law a man with a few
emu of land was entitled to have game, while a
person possessing a hundred thousand pounds in
the funds was debarred front such a lumpy. The
Gentlemen concerned in the measure should con.
alder bow many of their own friends go out to !port
unqualified, and through mercy for them, if not
the public, forbear to press it. The quidifications
by law were—being possessed of freehold property
to the amount of a hundred a year, or being the
eldest son of an esquire, or other person of equal
degree—and he could appeal to all who heard him,
how many went out every year from the metropolis
to the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. tint coining
within these. He hoped the Hon. Gentleman
would not visit such a number of permit's it this
large town with new penalties—and that a Com-
mittee of the House would next year examine the
whole system, and sweep awry its defects.

tDUtATION OF THR POOR .
. .
The Order of the bay having been rend to: the
House .0111 g ruin a Committee oil the Edui:Aitni
of the Poor' Bill--
sir. Baouciti AM said, that.in consequence of the
discussion the Bill had received ou the second read-
ing, which first drew the attention of the House and
the country to the sUbject, and *lnch the abuses
of the ryitem had been first publicly detailed—tha
CoMmittee had received an immense body of coin-.
municistions from various parts of. the country re.
spectjtig abuses. The effect prraltic;.d ,erred to,
havibeen, that since they were discovered tti.exist
in certain places, people suspected they might in
all, and had accordingly set themselves with "tour
-to the work of investigation—mid a Multil4de of
letters had been received from Parties; in various
ways interested in the management of the Nails of
charitable instituttotii, and from other welt-disposed
persons in the neighbourhood of them. The pi-r-
SOUS he had alluded to had done all that they could
in a few days, and those few days had conferred a
valuable body of information ou the Committee.
A defect of cominunicatiou had been rape' ienced,
however, of a very ominous nature. Rev. Gentle-
men had been, in general, ready to afford inforniti7
tion ; but in many cases, where ghtring abuses had
been discovered, and proved to exist in other ways,
Rev. Gentlemen, from re connection with the au-
thors of the abuses, or en excess of good-nature and
indulgence to die failings of Others, had thought
proper to withhold the returns. lie would be
glud that theme Reverend ',enema should be made
acquainted with what he said, and take warning;
that they would not escape the vigilance of the
House, nor be excused from doing what was re-
quired of them, either on, accouiit of their in-
dulgence to the errors of their neighboars, or
their own carelessness, or any motive of a worse
kind—such as servility to the patron front whom
they have received their livings. They •liould
be told, that the Committee had already evi-
dence of what !hey were studying to conceal, mud
that henceforth mess's ryes would be turned Isom
the shoves themselves to the Reverend Gentlemen
whys ere the causes of suppressitos them. He
would appeal to the Gentlemen of the Committee,
whether they had ever known such monstrous
abuses as some that had come to light. hs a free
grammar-school, at Hartley, Herefordshire, certain
scholarship' had been established, with funds for an
allowance of 141. a year on going to Cumbridee
yet not one had been Sent from that place
to Cambridge for the last thirty years. In
Essex, in the year 1584. two hundred acres of
good trod was granted to found a school, yet too
scholar was ever kept. In Dorsetahire, a donation
of a good house and farm. worth from two to three
hundred a year, had been made for the tame pur7
patie, with the some result. In Devonshire, an
estate, formerly let at a rent of 1,000/. a year, now
it ouly 660/., had heru given, among other put-
Ooses, for keeping a school ; the trustees had
allotted 4!. a year to that specific end—an instance
occurred of a gift for creating certain scholarships—
the funds were under the patrobage of the heirs of
a Noble person—the heirs left it to the steward, the
steward to a very respectable tierioutige in his way.
the game-keeper—the game-keeper thought the
scholarships might well he dis'peo-ed and they
were never filled. In Worcestershire neat 3001. a
year had been left to endow a poor school. The head
master received a salary of ISO/. a year, and a com-
fortable house; the second 90/. a year. The foods,
which might educate nearer four than three hundred
chifdrier, were not applied to the eihication of one.

NOIYSE OF COMMONS, MonDAY, May IS.

MARRIAGES IN INDIA.

Mr. CANNING obtained kart I. brim= in a Bill to remove
doubts room ctiong the validity of cei fain mai Amos con-
tracted in the British tersitiwies in India —The Bill was
brought in, read a first time, and ordered to be read a second
time to-usurruw.

Sir S. ROMILLY wished there were not an many
different s►atutes under one head of the law. Taking
the law, however, as it stood, he thought the pre-
sent Bill a great improvement of it. He did not
see how, when the Hoare had rejected the Bill
brought in by the same Hon. Member, that brought
in the one under consideration, to legali.e the sale
of game, they could refuse the present. What
would the House think uf a Legislature that visited
theft with the severest punishment, but euacted that
the receiving of stolen goods was no crime ?
(ffear, hear.)—Yet this was the spirit of our Game
Laws ; and a greater inconsistency never was found
in the laws of any country. He did not know why
they Fame principles of morality were not brought
into practice in regard to offences against the Game
Laws as on other subjects ; or how Gentlemen could
reconcile it to ttiettiselvts to purchase game not to
be acquired by the selleilt withoult a violation of law
—a ♦iolation, too, most minnow to the character of
the people, and leading to all sorts of crimes. He
did not understand how .tht House could punish
the sellers of game, while they protected the buyers.
A mischief peculiar tte the present system wilt, that
the lower orders broke the law without any com-
punction, and in cue of punishment following their
offence, thought themselves treated with uueqoal
hardship. It led to similar infractions of I.ror among
the higher orders— such► as placing of spring gnus
in woods, and other open places, of the illegality of
which there cotiM be no doubt. He did not 'green
to say thut the nature of the laws themselves was at-
together the cause of that habitual disregard that
was Irani to them ; but there must bt something
like a source of crime in them, when twette
htYu-
tired individuals had been imprisoned together nu-
der their operation, exposed to corruption end de-
pravation of character, and afterveards turned kart
own, the country. Ile wag redly of opinion there
was no diffrrtnce in the case. If the reteirer wee
