VESTRIES DILL.
Sir DE LACY EVANS moved the second reading
of this Bill, which he explained was to put the parishes
of St. Giles's-in-the-Fields and St. George's, and St.
Margaret's and St. John's, under the operation of Hob-
house's Act, from which they had originally been ex-
cepted.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he oonld not
agree to this Bill, because, in the first place, being in-
troduced as a public Bill, it was confined to the parishes
of St. Giles's•in-the.Fields, and St. George's, and
of St. Margaret's and St. John's, Westminster, and ought
therefore to have been brought in as a private Bill.
He felt it his duty to move that the Bill be read a second
time this day six months.
• Mr. T. DLTNCOMBE defended the Bill as being in
consonance with the general spirit cf legislation.
Mr. HENLEY thought that the object of the Bill
would be better accomplished by a private and local Bill.
Mr. HUME having been one of those who had con-
curred in introducing the original Bill affecting metro-
politan vestries, explained that the omission of these
parishes had been an utter mistake, and he thought they
were entitled to ths remedy which they sought by this
Bi;l.

Mr. WALPOLE said the Bill was quite un-
necessary. He thought it was much better for the two
parishes to adjust iheir own diffetences, and bring in a
local Act.

After a few words from Sir DE LACY EVANS,
Mr. BROTHERTON said he was decidedly of opi-
nion that the objects desired 137 this Bill ought to be ob-
tained by 'Means of a private Bill.

Mr Secretary WALPOLE brought up the report of
•.
the Seledi•COmmittee appointed to inquire into the pe-
tition preeantfd by Miss O'Connor, praying for the re-
lease of her brother, Mr. Foargus O'Connor. The
Committee had reported that the facts contained in
that petition were nll true, and that Mr. O'Connor
had been 'examined by two medical men, who certified
him to be of unsound mind, and a proper person to be
confined. The Petitioner stated that she had made ar-
rangements for the rsceptiwa of her brother at the private
esylani of Dr.Talie, at Chiawick, and that she had signed
the requisite order for that purpose. Miss O'Connor
and Dr. Tuke had given an undertak-
ing that Mr. Feargus O'Connor should not be
removed frdidihat asylum without the consent of the
House. The. Right Hon. Gentleman concluded by
moving that the Ron: Umber for Nottingham be dis-
charged from- the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms,
with a view of being'removed to the asylum of Dr.
'Puke. .

Mr. -HUME hoped that no time would be lost in
enabling the lion. Member to be trunsfemd to the cus-
tody of Dr. Tuke.

Mr. WALPOLE said that arrangements had already
been made for this purpose.
Mr. GOULDURN inquired whether the undertaking
which had been given was to extend beyond the present
session?

Mr. WALPOLE said that the undertaking did not,
of clursn, P•.tend beyond the present Parliament.
The Parish Constables Bill was withdrawn.

under the leadership of Mr. Godfrey, commenced the

acknowledged.
The eqmpany having arranged _themselves in their
places, the children of the Kingston schools chanted a
pattp,
.arrenged for the occasion; after which the

thefise of the institution, and describing the charitable
object to which it would be devoted, he paid an eloquent
tribute to tEc memory of the late Duke of Cambridge.
In allusion 'to the ground having been given by the

offering of the filial piety of a son worthy in every way
of his illustrious father, the Cambridge Asylum would

!tepees which did honour to the living as well us
lb:tdeparted. In conclusion, he had the honour to an-
jutatnee that the Duchess of Cambridge and her illus-
eras_

• The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
understood the Hon. Member commenced his speech by
thanking the Hon. Gentleman who moved the adjourn-
ment of the debate for the opportunity which he had
given him to make a second speech on the Bill. He ap-
pealed to the Speaker whether that was not an evasion of
the orders of the House.
The SPEAKER said it was an evasion of the strict
letter of the orders of the House, because when a mo-
tion for adjournment was made the Member who se-
conded it could only strictly speak on the adjournment.
whereas the Hon. Member had made a speech on the
Bill.—(Hear.) Tho inconvenience of the practice had
frequently induced him to call the attention of the
House to the orders, because if it were allowed,
any Honourable Member, by getting a friend to
move either an adjournment of the House or
of the debate, might make as many speeches as he
liked. He- hoped the rules would be considered, with
the view of obviating the inconvenience.

a great respect for the dignity of tne House, the manner
in which the Chancellor of the Exchequer had inter-

Mr. HUME considered the amendment of the Hon.
Member was a very appropriate one, as the days of Par-
liament were numbered, and this was not one of those
quesuons which required immediate consideration.
The House then divided, when there appeared—
