Mr. LUSHINGTON moved the third reading of the Receiv-
ers' General Bill.
Mr. Alderman WJOD said, this bill bad hitherto been pro-
moted at lute hours in the evening. Mau), ieceivers were to he
maintained at an ekilennita,of upwards of -10001. while several
persons, a Mr. Barber in particular, had undertaken to collect
taxes to the amount of two millions for low. 13e must divide
the house if the bill were pressed now.
Mr. LUSHINGTON remarked that there wairothing in this
bill to prevent the Government from listening to the proposal of
such ineiv idual.
Mr. 111,51 E said, if the government really desired to promote
economy, they might get Mr. Everett and others to act as re-
ceivers for less than 2,0001. a year, the preseut cost being 11
or 12,0001. • year.
Mr. MONCK trusted that the government would attend to
this matter.
Mr. Alderman WOOD observed, that if the government
would undertake to have the taxes collected for 2,0001. a year
be should have no reason to complain. Read a third time and
passed.
Mr. BROUGHAM moved the second reading of the retail
cf Beer Bill. The hen. member spoke of the deteriorated
quality of the beer in the course of the last thirty years, which
was mainly owing to the tax. It was not the quassia—it was
not But noxious ingredient—but it was the exciseman's bawl
that affected the quality, and diminished the quantity consumed.
The duty had done s good deal of mischief. They lied di-
minished some of the duty ; the duty was now about 20s.
where it was 325. IMfor 7, but they had not yet got baek to the
10s. But though the was in his way on one side—he
was
found the brewers arraye on the other hand. The retailing of
strong beer was at present particularly limited by licese
to the " small" beer, which, God knew, had a very prOpetV.
(a laugh), there was no licence required forits sale ; but heeadeilk
have a inure powerful weapon than small beer before he he
successfully attack the many-beaded monster, the gin-shop..
The laws professed to put down tippling, or to attempt it, and
yet a man could not get a pot of porter without going to • pub
tic-house. As to the brewers iuterest, of which so much had
beau said, lie denied that the law secured to them the mono-
poly for which they now contended.—(Hear ! ) A complete
mouopoly, however, had grown up -,..it had gone to such ex-
teut that in one instance, •
out of dineuses in one distiiet,
there was only one of them that did not belong to brewers.—
The reason was that there were limitations that were irjurious
to the public ipteresta. The brewers basing thus got the com-
mand of tsflitonel by which means they supplied the mouth,
the quality-leas gradually reduced—portions of the malt with •
drew, and portions of the hops followed; so that the beverage
was no longer ulkat Buniface could " eat, drink, and Sleet)
upon."—lle concluded with moving the second reading.
14r. F. BUXTON said, that this was a most injurious bill.—
Tie bon. mover himself did not know what must be the effect
of this bill. It would ruin 30,000 persons, who had now
30,000,0001. engaged in the trade. Ile was aware that the
brewers had been objects of suspicion, whether truly or not,
be would not stop to inquire ; but in their alleged criminality,
the publicans lied no participation, The brewers might mix the
beer improperly--but the publicans bad no participation iu
such proceedings ; the brewers might have enormous profits—
but the publicans did not come in for a share of them-mthe
breweraillight have an overwhelming capital; but what benefit
did the Iffiblicans deriv e from it ? All lie desired was, that the
public should not be punished fur the sins of the brewers.
As to publicans giving we/ le the public wants and com-
forts, he denied that they could warrant this vonliscation with-
out securing individuals from losses. But not only would they
be injured—the revenue awl the morals of the country would
greatly suffer. But be the arguments in favour of the bill
strong an they might, ii any strong arguments could be additei.(l
in its rapport, lie thought at el events such bill ought not to
le urged at so advanced a period of the session.
Mr. II LSKISSON said, lie was by no means convinced of
the wholly detrimental character of the bill by what hail been
said by the boo. member who last addressed the boom ; be
( Mr. H.) however, thought so important a bill ought.uot to be
poopnned till the nett Session.
Alderman WOOD spoke against the Bill, misleading that it

„ruted it.
air J. MACKINTOSH proposed. that it should be en ie.
strockjam to the Committee to divide the bill into•sto, and avoid
the objectionable part.
Mr. BRIGHT opposed the bill shoed *
Mr. DEN.MAN.csid, that dlppgil he w .with
"the meths of Hg:Sill, as waxlike situation ben, W
would still oppoWit, 'because he thought the present rod of
the isemarittoo late for its introduction.
TPe Marquis of LONDONDERRY lamented that non-
sidtbastion of this measure had not been brought before the notice
of Parliament at an earlier period of the sense. ; but contended.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, he would

enough, and submitted one which lie had prepared, and which
proposed that all the members of the Town Council should lis
resident within the limit before atated.
Mr. ki.. Douglaa and the Lord Advocate supported Lord Btu
fling's clause.
The gallery was then cleared. We understood that Lord
Binning 's clause was agreed to without a div ision. Mr. Ilume's
disuse, however, was lost upon a division, the numbers being

coed to he discharged, if they attended to give evidence.
