REIGN SHIPS BILL.

Mr. HENLEY moved - the third reading of this Bill.
Mr. ANSTEY complained of the retention of the
third clailee, after the President of the Board of Trade
had consented to its omission, and which subjected to a
penalty of. 101., to be imposed at the discretion of the
justices; any person who harboured or assisted in the
concealment or reception of a deserter from a foreign
ship. The hardship of the measure would be very
great, particularly in the nano of fugitive slaves, who
would be claimed to be given up not as slaves but as
deserters. What the Right Hon. Gentleman should
have done was simply to extend the provisions of the
Mercantile Marine Act to eases of desertion from the
ships of foreign powers. He objected also to the Bill,
that it proposed to arm the Queen in Council with
Power to legislate without the advice of Parliaaoent.
He should, therefore, move as an amendment, that it be
read a third time that day three months.
Mr. HENLEY could assure the Hon. Gentleman that
he had removed everything from the Bill that did not
apply to the roerehant service. Upon the subject of
harbouring deserters, it was ouly an extension of the
law at present in force with regard to desertion frcm
English'ships, and was not in any way inteinied to ap-
p to slaves.
Lord D. STUART opposed the Bill,
es being neithernecessary nor called for by this mercantile interest, for
while only one petition had been presented in its favour,
several had been presented against it. The amendment was neeatived without a division, and
the Bill was read a third time and passed.
The Kennington-common, &c., Improvement Bill was
read a third time and passed.
