Report brought up.
OFFENCES (SOUTH AFRICAN) BILL.
This bill was read a third time.
CIVIL BILLS COURT (IRELAND) BILL.
Mr. O'HAGAN moved the second reading of this bill,
and explained at length its provisions. A high bailiff
would be appointed in each county by the chairman,
with a substantial salary of from £250 to £3OO a year, and
required to give ample sureties for the due performance
of his office. This officer would have the appointment of
the under bailiffs, and would be responsible for their acts.
The bill would clearly define the fees to be charged.
In most respects the mode of proceeding adopted
would be assimilated with that of England. The
bill would take away the fees now allowed to
creditors in seizing growing crops, which at this time
resulted in great evil. The Government would be quits
ready to adopt all reasonable amendments.
Mr. GEORGE opposed the bill, considering it in oppo-
sition to the desires of the people of Ireland or the legal
profession.
After considerable discussion the bill was read a second
time.
Mr. LONGFIELD moved that the bill be referred to a
select committee.
On a division the numbers were—
For the motion 36
Against it
Majority
The house then adjourned at half-past 5.

AQUATICS.

DREWITT AND WILSON FOR £2OO.

The match between George Drewitt and Teasdale Wil-
son came off this afternoon, the distance being the usual
one, viz., from Putney to Mortlake. As far as position at
starting was concerned, fortune favoured Wilson,
for, as winner of the toss, he chose the Middle-
sex side of the river, and the usual, preliminaries
having been arranged, the start was effected at about
a quarter to four. Wilson after the first few strokes seemed
to have a decided advantage, but is soon as Drewitt settled
down to his work he quickly diminished the trifling lead
Wilson had obtained. Before the men passed Finche's
Drewitt had altogether altered the state of affairs, for here
he had obtained a clear lead. The race was virtually over
at this point, for Drewitt had it all to himself, and he
rowed in a winner easily ; in fact, he won the match just
as he pleased.
Odds at starting, 7 to 4 on the loser.
