were established in the Bankruptcy Court. Earl de Grey
had been applied to, but he saw no reason why Sir G. C.
Lewis's order should be revised.
COUKT-MARTIAL ON CORPORAL • AKE.

Mr, CONINGHA.NI asked the noble lord i e would lay
on the table of tee house the proceeding • the court.
martial on Corporal Blake,
The Marquis of HAR rINGTON said the pipers at pre-
sent we-e not in England. It was unusual to present the
proceedings of regim,ntal courts-martial in India to Parlia-
ment. If the finding of the court was correct, it would have
a material bearing on Colonel Crawley's case Inquiries
had been sent to India to ascertain the facts, and for such
witnesses as could give evidence on Colonel Crawley's trial
in this country to be sent home.
FACTORY CHIL OREN AND STEAM-BOILERS.
Mr. FER rLAND asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether he intended to introduce any
legislative measure to place children employed in potteries
and paper-tube factories under the protection of the Factory
Act ; also, whe her his attention had been drawn to the
grea destruction of human life for many years by the con-
stant burning of steam boilers, especially by one near
Leeds a few days ago, where ten peope were killed ; and
so, whether he did not think that steam boilers ought to be
placed und, r Government inspection.
Mr. BRUCE (in the abseuce of Sir G. Grey) said it was
not the intention of his right hon. friend Sir G. Grey to
introduce any legislative measure with reference to those
children. The evidence and the report of the commission
had been so recently published, that sufficient time had
not been afforded for their consideration. They would
be, however, considered during the recess, and then the
right hon. gentleman would determine whether or not he
would introduce a measure founded upon the recommen-
dations contained in the report. With respect to the

t.ursting of boilers, no doubt every year a considerable sacri-
fice of life took place from it; but the boo. gentleman could
hardly have considered, when he proposed to place them
under Government inspection, what he was asking the Go-
vernment to do. Steam-boilers were scattered all over the
try, and they consisted of those used in manufactures,
for locomotive, and also agricultural purposes. Inspection
by Government was, to a considerable extent, a substitution
:if Government responsibility for private responsibility; and
unless they were enabled to make a real and complete inspec
tien, it was better not to attempt is
Colonel W. PATTEN asked if the hon. gentleman's ob-
servations applied to the whole or part of the commissioners'
report. He alluded to that part of the report which was
more particularly interesting to Lancashire.
Mr. BRUCE said his friend referred to the whole of
the report.

THE TYRONE ARTILLERY MILITIA.
Mr. GETTY, in the absence of Major S. Knox, asked
the Chief Sec, e sty for Ireland why toe Tyrone Artillery
w a not allowed a practice ground, the shores of
Lough iNeagh being within reach, and suited to such a
purpose; and why this regiment was not supplied witb
light field guns.

Sir R. PEEL said the point was submitted to the War
Department, but they declined to allow a prac ice -ground on
account of the expense, The forts in the county of Tyrone
were being demolished, and from its inland position it was
considered unnecessary to continue the Tyrone Artillery
Militia. As to the supply of light field guns, it was now
limited to Armstrongs ; and as nobody in the Tyrone Ar-
tillery Militia understood the working of them—(laughter)
—it was thought unnecessary to supply them.
THE CASE OF THE ( OUNTESS DELLA. SETA

v. LORD VERNON. ---
Mr. HARVEY LEWIS asked whether the attention
of the Lord Chancellor bad been called to the case of the
Countess Della S to v. Lord Vernon, heard before Vice-
Ch.ncellor Sir J. Stuart, and to the language and demea-
nour of the Vice-Chancellor to the counsel and others con-
cerned in the case; and it so, whether his lordship intended
to take any steps to prevent a repetition of similar proceed-
ings.
