VACCINATION.

Lord LYTTELTON asked whether her Majesty's Go-
vernment intended to bring in any measure amending the
Vaccination Acts ? As the author of the Acts on compul-
sory vaccination, he had a deep interest in the question.
His lordship read a report of the Epidemiological Society,
in which recommendations were made, first of a more syste-
matic local supervision ; secondly, of providing more effec-
tual means for the inforcement of local authority ; thirdly,
of extension of the age at which vaccination should be per-
formed ; and fourthly, extension of the powers of the Privy
Council over the local arrangements for the securing of a
supply of fresh lymph.

that the law required amendmen, and the matter was under

LONDON (CITY) TRAFFIC REGULATION BILL.
On the motion for the second reading of this bill,
Mr. AYRTON moved that the bill be read a second
time this day six months. He objected to the bill, because
under the guise of a private measure it sought enormous
public powers. The measure would give the city power
over the traffic on the other side of Temple-bar ; but strictly
speaking this proceeding would affect the traffic all over the
metropolis. It sought to introduce exceptional legislation,
whereas what was proposed to be accomplished should be
effected by a public measure pf a far more general character.
Mr. MASSEY was surprised to find so stanch an advo-
cate of. local self. government as his hon. and learned friend
London
a measure which would confer upon the city of
simply power to regulate its traffic with a view to
the public
convenience.to He hoped if this bill were per-
sions would laeai private. committee that none of its provi-
sions

crawling cab.
Mr.
citAthrtciltitnliproper loiterers in the streets,
supported the bill, which he consi-
dered indispensable for the better regulation of the traffic
be
of the .
In the
course of a very short time there would

the confines of the City,
and the
would be jeopardised, unless
the powers sought by the bill
were conferred on the City.
Mr. LOCKE was an advocate
oefdmunicipal institutions.
He would have been better Pleas
if the bill had been
extended to the whole of the metropolis.
He greatly
w a great
beenorked
ob-
jected to committees of five, because they
deal of mischief. The bill should have
as a public measure. He criticised the provisions
introduced
with respect to cabs and the delivery Pr-.
coals,
as in the one case not worth legislation, and
in the other as constituting a system that would increase
the cost of coals from is 6d to 28.6 d per ton, As the bill
was couched in the form of a private measure, the parties
who would be chiefly affected by it would have no locus
3tandi before the select committee.
Mr. COX supported the second reading, believing that
some of the clauses would confer great advantages on the
public.
Sir G. GREY said the bill was only part of a plan of
legislation pursued for seine years by the house. It would
be a great boon to the metropolis. He advised the house
to read the bill a second time, and probably subsequently
it would be well to consider its provisions in a committee of
the whole house.
Sir J. SHELLEY opposed the bill, If the city was so
anxious to rem ,ve all obstructions to the enormous street
traffic, why was not Temple-bar removed ? The bill, to be
effectual, should be extended to the whole of the metropolis.
After a few words by Mr. SCULLY,
Mr. AYRTON withdrew his amendment.
Th e bill was read a second time.
