lion, hut, on the contrary, thinking its tendency
beneficial, be should support the lion and Learned
ilentleniao's motion. The nloject of the Bill, as
he understood, was, that measures connected with
alterations or improvements in the cohrlisct of trade
and nianofacture, should, before their regular in-
troduction, be inquired into I.Y suitable Commit-
tees. To the propriety of such an inquiry lie could
see no possible objection.
Mr. Ltrri.erow remarked how often it happened

ledge to guide theni on such a subject. He
thought such a standing order ought to be sew'
-
ally ;tossed. Entertaining this opinion, he would
support the original motion.
Mr. Cliff:VEY conceived a standing order was so
important, that it ought not to be adopted by the
House without the previous recommendation of a
Committee. He should, therefore, without mean-
nig any disrespect to the lion. and Learned Gen-
tleman. vote for the previous question.
Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW said the House had notice
of his inteirtion to propose this motion last year, and
as he thought it essential for the general benefit of
the manufacturing interest., he must persevere in
it now.
Mr. Wrsreats was of opinion that a new stand-
ing order was so important, that however respect-
able the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was, he
could not help thinking such a measme ought
rather originate with a Committee.
Lord ALTKORP agreed in the propriety of the
Hon. and Learned Gentleman's object, but still
recommended that he should first refer the question
to a Select Committee.
Mr. Serjeant Onst.ow immediately amended his
motion, to meet the Noble Lord's OuggestiOn.
After a few words from Mr. PirrtAtt.s and Mr.
MANSPIRLD, a Select Committee was appointed to
inquire into the expediency of the Standing Order
moved for by Mr. Setjeant ON9LOW.
CONVEYANCERS.
Mr. SCARLET!' rose to present a Petition from
certain Attorneys. complaining that persons not re-
gularly apprenticed, qualified, and instructed,
practised as conveyancers.
This Petition was laid on the table, and ordered
to be printed.
IRISH PAUPERS.

He concluded by tooting fOr trove to bang iii his
Bill, which went to prevent the arrest and transpor-

Mr. Prist liftioat seconded the motion.
Mr. S. Bittptill did not Mean to oppose this
motion until tk"iniore clearly saw what was the
scope and inteutieri of the Bill. The Him, MeM-

Irish labourer had nut the means of pro Curing a

attainable. If greater facilities were not afforded to
Irish paupers to obtain settlements in this country
after a certain duration of labour, the (stilt was not
his (Mr. Bintriis). fur *hen he introduced his
Bill he meant to have obviated some of the its
comeniences alluded to by the Hon. Mover of the
present Bill. He ought, however, before he went
further, to amend the title of his measure, for as to
the term " the arrest" of a pauper, hi did not
know it was used in the Poor Laws; and how to

said respecting the power of the labourer to procure

such provi.ion as was alloded to ought to be given,
if it could be practically upplied to rernei:y the
mode of removing these paupers.
Mr. C. GIANT thought the subject ought to be
fully inquired into. This fill would enable all
parties to direct their attention at least to the
subject.
Leave was then given to bring in the Bill.
