ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS.

Mr. lIORSMAN wished to ask the Secretary of State
for the Home Department, whether her Majesty's Mi-
nisters contemplate the introduction of any measure for
the reform of the Ecclesiastical Courts?
Mr. Secretary WALPOLE said, the Queen's Ad-
vocate having paid great attention to the subject, had,
at length, submitted a Billl to the consideration of the
Home-office with reference to the reform of these courts,
but whether the Government could undertake to adopt
this or any other measure, it was quite impossible for
him to say at the present moment, as the subject was of
a complicated nature, and required long and careful con-
sideration.—(Hear, hear.)
THE REV. MR. BENNETT.
Col. BOYLE, in pursuance of a notice which he gave
yesterday, wished to put a question to the Right Hon.
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on the subject of the
recent appointment to the vicarage of Frorne. He found
in Barnstaple's " Roman Catholic Register " an entry to
the effect, that on a certain day the Rev. Mr. Bennett
was received into the Roman Catholic Church, and the
question he wished to put was whether the Right Hon.
Gentleman was prepared to state to the House what
steps Government had takenilor prosecuting a searching
inquiry into this matter.-"(ear.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said her

THE , DUNDALK DENIOCR AT."
Mr. CAMPBELL wished to ask the Attorney-General
for Ireland if he wa
toe
prepared to state the reasons
which had induced 's
Government to abandon the
prosecution instituted against the editor and publisher
of
tbe Dundalk Democrat?
NAPIER said when he came into office he found
the indictment which had been preferred at the
tha,et
es had been removed into the Court of Queen's
assiz
Bench in Dublin, and ho and his Learned Colleague
the Solicitor-General were consulted as to the
course which ought to be taken in reference
to it. Now he and his Learned Colleague
were of opinion, that before any prosecution of the
public upon the part of the Government should be en-
tered upon, there should be clear grounds for it, as well
as a case of urgent necessity; but he found that in this
case the publication complained of had been published
as far back as the month of November, and although the
publication was very bad, two whole terms were allowed
to intervene before any notice was taken of it. Under
those circumstances, and considering the case could not
have been tried till July next, which would have ren-
dered the whole matter stale, it had been thought advis-
able to forego the prosecution, and a letter had been
written to the editor accordingly, with an intimation
that it was hoped that the paper would be hereafter con-
ducted in such a manner as to render the interference of
the Attorney-General wholly unnecessary.—(Hear.)
Mr. HATCHELL explained that the reason of the
delay bad been that the publication did not come to his
knowledge till some time after its appearance; and as a
very aggravated murder had been committed in the dis-
trict where it had been published, the late Government
thought that some notice ought to be taken of it. It
was also felt that the more constitutional mode of pro-
ceeding was by an indictment at the assizes and not by
an ex officio information.—(Hear, hear.)
ELECTIVE FRANCHISE.
Mr. L. KING then rose to ask for leave to bring in a
Bill to make the franchise and the procedure at elections
in the counties in England and Wales the same as in the
boroughs, by giving the right of voting to all occupiers
of tenements of the annual value of ten pounds; by limit-
ing the time of taking the poll to one day; and by limit-
ing the time of proceeding to elections to eight days.t

course the Noble Lord took had led to a divi-
d
that tnhe tbo
Liberal party. and allowed the government
c:sen in
country to pass into the hands of the
party of which he was so much afraid. The
principle of the Bill he now proposed had been often
discussed, but no one had ever reutured to assail the
class of persons whom it proposed to enfranchise. The
Noble Lord (Lord J. Russell) did not object to this pro-
posed extension of the franchise to occupiers in counties,
though it was true that in his Reform Bill he did net go the
length of a 101. qualification, but he introduced the 20/.
qualification, no doubt with the view of ultimately re-
ducing it. The Right Ron. Gentleman the Chancellor
of the Exchequer himself said he was not opposed to the
extension of the c tinty franchise, which ho claimed
as the invention of the party of whom he was
the distinguished ornament, but some how or other he
voted against the proposition. Tho Hon. Member then
gave some statistical reasons for the Bill, and ex-
pressed a hope that Honourable Members opposite
would not object to the extension of a prin-
ciple which they claim to have introduced, and which
if carried out would enfranchise a large class of the
people who were at present deprived of a vote. It was
I a singular eircunutanoo that whilst the population as

well as the intelligence nud comforts of the people
had increased—whilst science and skill had ad-
vancel, labour been augmented, and crime and
poverty diminished--
the number of electors in
counties had greatly diminished. Formerly the repre-
sentation was on a much more democratic basis, nod he
hoped that those who were so wedded to the customs of
the past ages would not hesitate to pLice the
franchise on its original basis. Ucjt.l3t; dis-
tinctions ought not to be made in different
districts, and between one chisa of persons and another.
Ile trusted, in conclusion, that the hirr,e and influential
body of the people whom he intended by the Bill to en-
franchise, would not be relused their most reasonable
and just rights.

Mr. CAMPBELL deprecated proceeding with a Bill
of this nature in the present session, on the ground that
while there was no chance of its ever parsing u third reed-
ieg, it would give rise to party animosities in the House.
Considering Chet sufficient iequity lied not even insti-
tuted prior to the proposal before the House being
brought forward, he should give his vote in opposition.
Mr HUME, amid loud cries of " Divide," rose end
said—That the silence on the Government benches was
very ominous indeed. The electors of counties under the
existing system were slaves instead of freemen, and the
time would come when a change was imperatively called
for.—(Hear.) The Noble Lord the elember for the
city or London had already expressly himself in favour
of the extension of the franchise, and he should he glad
to know if this motion would have the benefit of his
vote.—(ticar, beer.) Those who were knochicg at the
door to get into the Constitution ought to be admitted
at once, for the people were not se fairly represented
as to hare a fir voice in thm House; and he called
upon the Government to say aye or no to this motion,
then the ceuntry would know what they had to expect.
—(Hear, hear.) E they were determined to resist all
retorne, let the public know it ; and he really did hope
that the House would insist upon having a declaration
from Ministers upon this subject.—(Hear, hear.)
Lord J. MANNERS said the Government had no
difficulty whatever in saving no to this motioo, and as
the Opposition wanted an immediate dissolution ho r ould
advise them to abstain from bringing forward motions
of this character.—(llear, hear.) If this motion were
carried it would have the effect of revolutionising
the county franchise.—(Hear, hear.) What did
the motion propose ? Why, to assimilate the
county franchise with that of boroughs; but though there
were two ways of accomplishing that assimilation the
Government thought the existing franchise had worked
well, and had fulfilled the intention of the Reform Bill,
which was to take care that the owners and occupiers of
land should be fairly represented.—(Hear, hear.) The
county franchise had produced less controversy and lees
corruption than the franchise which prevailed in bo-
roughs, and if an assimilation were necessary, why
should they not change the borough to the, county sys-
tem?—(On, oh.) No doubt there were defects in the
present county system; but on the whole it had worked
well, and he hoped the Home would not allow the busi-
ness of the country to be obstructed by motions of this
sort, which ought to b 3 left for the consideration of a
new Parliament.—(Hear, hear.)
Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR said be agreed with
mach that bed fallen from the Noble Lord. Perhaps
this was not a fitting opportunity for introducing
this motion, but there was one part of the
present proposal, namely, the latter part of
it, which was wholly unobjcetiew.ble, and he
hoped the House would allow it to be introduced
(Rear, hear.) He alluded to the part which proposed
to shorten the duration of the pollieg at elections for
counties; and when he remembered that a Bill
bad been brought in to mulct county Mem-
bers of refreshments for the electors, at
least the House ought to enable him to meet that
expense by rendering a second day's poll unnecessary.—
(elear, hear.) Ho was convinced that such a change
would be beneficial to the country, for both rioting arid
bribery generally took place on the second dey ; and he
hoped the House would have no objection to act upon
this part of the Bill.—(Hear, hear.) He considered that
the time had come when there ought to he some equali-
mien of the constituencies of the country.
Mr. H. DRUMMOND said that for twenty years ho
had been endeavouring to extend the county franchise,
and would not allow any opportunity to pass without
continuing his efforts in the same direction. The Noble
Lord the Member for Colchester had given a very
valid objection to the introduction of the Bull,
but it came too late, for the House had given its sanc-
tion to a principle which, if adopted, would heve the
effect of filling the House with paupere,—(Hear, hear.)
On a former occasion he showed that the recta of voting
took its rise in ancient times in service rendered to the
Crown, end he thought that the vote should be given to all
persons who had at any time served under the Crown.—
(Oh, oh, and Hear, hear.) A sneer at that proposition
from the advocates of universal suffrage was ill-timed,
He warned the Earl of Derby and hie colleg,nes nut to
" pooh-pooh" the question, for by doing so they were
only leaving it as a legacy to Lord John all` sell, who
would avail himself of it on the first opportunity for the
purpose of turning them out of their pleees,—(Hear.)
Mr. BRIGHT protested against the argument of the
Noble Lord the Member for Colchester, that in bring-
ing forward discussions of this nature they were
obstructing the progress of public business, and delaying
the dissolution of Parliament. He believed that no Govern-
ment business could have come on to-night, even suppos-
ing the motion of the Hon. Member for EAst Surrey had
been withdrawn. The Noble Lord called this a hack-
neyed subject, but every great question which had been
carried had been treated by Hun. Members opposite es
hackneyed. He considered the question to be of im-
portance with refereed to the cowing general election,
when the country would have to decide upon protection.
He believed that the general feeling in favour of free
trade, in boroughs of any population, was extending to
county constituencies ; and he had heard that Hereford
and Dorset were likely to elect free-trade candidates.
If the constituencies of counties contained the same pro-
portion of population es boroughs did there would no
longer be the discrepancy which existed in public
opinion with regard to the question of protection. In the
West Riding there were 30,000 voters in a population of
800,000, and so long es such an anomaly existed there
would be peril to the Government, the constitution, aye,
and to the very institutions of the country. The great
constituencies were almost unanimous against the Mi-
litia Bill; and upon ccuatry gentlemen, who were first
frighteeed at French corn, and then at French men,
would rest the responsibility of the expense that militia
would entail. He hailed the present motion as a step
in the direction of that reform which the House had re-
solved to carry out.

Mr. PACKE deprecated the discussion of topics
which had no reference to the motion before the House.
—(Hear, hear.) With regard to one portion of the
proposal he thought that although one day's polling
might be found sufficient in boroughs, and in cases
where the voters were within a circle of seven miles, it
would be inadequate for counties, to which voters some.-
times had to be brought from all parts of the kingdom.
Mr. WAKLEY asked, if purity was only to :be found
in counties, why not give them the ballot? if people
were not to have a vote, they certainly ought not to be
forced to carry a musket. They were called upon to
defend their country, but were yet denied the privileges
of free men.
Mr. BUCK said that, in anticipation of the present
motion, he had caused inquiries to be made in the large
district he represented, and had found that the proposed
creation of 101. householders would entirely swamp the
4,000 freeholders. He therefore opposed the motion.
Colonel SIBTHORP was anxious to extend the fran-
chise ss widely as was consistent with safety, and would
rather give s'. franchise to many cities and boroughs
than the 10/. to others. Speaking generally, ho objected
to a 101. vote to a county, because it was likely to
swamp many important boroughs which now enjoyed
the franchise.—(Hear, hear.)
Lord J. RUSSELL—Sir,. I cannot vote against the
present proposition on the ground stated by the Noble
Lord the Member for Colchester (Lord John Manners).
If the Government were to say they wish for any parti-
cular Tuesday, in order to bring forward their measures,
and thus secure an early dissolution of Parliament, I do
not think any Member would interpose a motion on that
day. As the Government, however, have not only not
asked for Tuesdays, but seem reluctantly to teke the
Thtir9days—(oh, oh)—I cannot say I see any objection
to our now discussing a measure of public importance.
Then, sir, with regard to the nature of the question itself,
it appears to the to be a fair matter for consideration in
this House what shall be the amount of the occupation
franchise for counties as we have settled that for towns.
The Reform Act contained a clause, introd:,caesdpbbryoypLotso,hrdde

of different Hon. Members, brut with the propositions

tioned by Parliament itself, that should discuss a
measure professing to reduce the occupation we
occupation franchise in
counties within this country. But I own it appears to
me, considering the vast importance of framing the re-
presentation arigbt, that Parliament should deal with
counties and boroughs
as a whole, and not separately,
and that these frto
t.inanchises should not be altered separately
from time . And hero I may say that I cannot
much from what I understand to be the opinion Of
the Hon. and Learned Solicitor-General opposite (Sir F.
I understand him to have said that he deems
it to be of the utmost importance that the question of
the commercial policy of the country should bo set-
tled, and that Parliament should not proceed to discuss
measures for the reform of the represeutetion until this
question had received the judgment which now awaits
it. But I entirely differ Icons him in the statement
that the country is now in a state of ruin
owing to those measures called free-trade measures, I
also differ from the Right Hon. Gentleman the Secre-
tary for the Colonies in thinking that the colonies ar©
ruined; and I differ from the Hon. Member for Scar-
borough (.`dr. G. F. Young) when he states that the
.hippiw; iutvrest is in a stave of utter prostration. I
believe, on the contrary, that many of these measures
will be considered by the new Parliament and by the
new House of Commons, with the approbation of the
country, to have collectively and individually tended to
promote the prosperity of the country, and that Perlia-
ment will consider it a duty to meintain and extend
those measures,—(Hear, hear, from the opposition.) I
think it desirable that that great question saould receive
a solution before we proceed seriously to consider the
state of the representation. I was glad to hear from the
Noble Lord the Member for Colchester, that the present
Government would be ready to concur in any well-co n
sidered measure of reform in the representation; but
hope I did not rnisurirt:Titand him when ho Fppeared to
me to say Unit this was a question very tinily open to
the consideration of this or any other Parliament. When,

------- -
howtver, we proned to scittle the great questi on of
commercial policy, which it t. 3 so desirable should be set
tied one wi.y or other, I trust that Noble Lord wilt be
disposedi

portant que:;tion.
