FACTORY ACTS EXTENSION BILL.

On the motion for going into commitee on this bill,

Mr BAGWELL drew attention to the condition of
the tailors and needlewomen of London, and contended
that the legislation in regard to other classes could be
applied with benefit to these bodies. He moved that it
be an instruction to the committee to take into considera-
tion the condition of the two classes to which he referred.

Sir G. GREY thought it would be inexpedient to legis-
late with respect to dill„ ent classes of the labouring popu-
lation without the report of a commission. The Govern.
ment were proceeding step by step on the recommendation
of the commission.

The SPEAKER explained that the instruction moved
would be informal, and it was withdrawn.
The house then went into committee.

Clauses to 3 were agreed to, and on clause 4,
Mr ADDERLEY and Mr WATKINS made some ob-
servations in support of some general measure of legisla-
tion on this subject instead of dealing with it from year to
year.
Mr BRUCE denied that it would be practicable to intro-
duce any general measure on the subject, as circumstances
might arise from year to year which would render an alte-
ration in legislation necessary. He understood from Mr
Baker that additional inspectors were not required. With
regard to machinery and time of labour, he would take the
subject into consideration.
The clause was then agreed to.

In page 5, first schedule,
Mr. BRUCE moved an alteration in regard to the
" packers."
Mr. ROEBUCK said that this was a contest which
had been going on for forty years, and the improve-
ments which had been effected in the condition of the classes
employed in factories and mines had been invariably op-
posed
of
by
theth ees manufacturers.of
4packers'
the
provisions thatthe
oe exclu-
sioni -
bill was unjust to them, and virtual legislation n favour of
the manufacturers.
Sir G. GREY said it was not intended to exclude the
class in question, but their case was not provided for by the
present measure. It should be remembered that they were
proceeding upon the reports of
two commissions.
After some further discussion, in which Mr. Crum
Ewing, Mr. Potter, Mr. Buxton, Sir Hugh Cairns, Mr.
Baines, and other hon. members took part,
Mr. C. IBRUCE. vindicated the manufacturers

those in their employment. He had acted on tho
advice he had received relative to the omission of the
words in the clause, but he could not deny that there was a
strong feeling in the house in favour of retaining the clause
inits entirety, and, therefore, he would consent to the
suspension of the sitting of the committee until Monday
week.

After another discussion, the proposition of the right hens
gentleman was acceded to by the house.
The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and obtained
leave to sit again on Monday week.
The sitting was then suspended until six o'clock.
