on the paper, that he was prepared to produce the memo-
randum with respect to remuneration on promotions and

TENURE OF LAND (IRELAND).
Mr. MAGUIRE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland,
whether it was the intention of the Government to intro-
duce, during the present session, any measure with a view
to amend and improve laws relating to the occupation and
tenure of land in Ireland, and to ensure to the tenant an
adequate protection for his outlay of capital in improve-
ments.
Sir R. PEEL replied in the negative. The Government
considered that the bill of 1860 had satisfactorily settled a
long agitated question.
COLLIERY ACCIDENTS.

Mr. WYLD asked the Secretary of State for the Home
Department, if in any future coroner's inquest which may be
held upon the sufferers by colliery accidents, the Govern-
ment would authoris • the attendance of a legal officer to
watch the proceedings upon the part of the Crown ?
Sir G. GREY replied that it was not the intention of
the Government to lay down qny general rule. In
all cases that appeared to require the intervention of the
Government a legal officer would undoubtedly attend in,
quests.

mendations of the Circuit Regulation Commission, or in

praying that her Majesty would be

g of Crown lands to facili-
tate enclosures be made or Crown forestal
rights within 15 miles of the metropolis.
Mr. COX seconded the motion,
Mr. F. PEEL replied that the Crown only enjoyed the
right of supervision, or strictly speaking, forestal rights,
over Epping Forest, and this only over 2,010 acres. The
proposed address would therefore not answer its purpose.
Sir G. GREY said all that had been done was in accord-
ance with the Enclosure Act. They could not draw a
rigid rule in these matters.
1
t Mr. BUCKSTONE considered that these forests should
I be maintained for the benefit of the public.
Mr. LOCK E said if the Crown had done wrong in part-
: ing with these lands, care should be taken that no damage
i was done to the public in the future. The gentleman should
recollect the old legal maxim—nullum tempus occurrit rcgi.
Mr. AYR,TON supported the motion.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed
the motion. The discretion of holding or parting with
these lands would be left entirely in the hands of the
Crown. The laying down of a rigid rule would prove Ini-
mical to the public. (Divide, divide.)
