dew in two, and Premier was the wrong side of the rails.

of the Council to answer the question he had sent at pri-
vate notice of his intention of putting, relative to ti 3d,
and 4th articles, in the second page of the revis code,
which he looked upon as worded in a very extraordinary
manner.

Earl GRANVILLE said the code was propounded in
the middle of the financial year, and therefore there was
fear that the propositions would come into operation. The
new state of affairs would come into operation on the Ist
of April next, so that all examinations between that time
would be conducted under the former code. He did not think
that managers of school or pupil teachers would suffer any
peculiar hardship.

Mr, LESLIE asked the Lord Advocate whether or not a

so, when ?
The LORD ADVOCATE said that such a bill would be
introduced on Tuesday next.

(SCOTLAND) BILL.
Mr. LESLIE asked the Lord Advocate whether the Sal-
mon Fisheries (Scotland) Bill, and the Roads and Bridges'
(Scotland) Bill, would be brought forward during the pre-
sent session ?
The LORD-ADVOCATE said that there was so much
difficalty and difference of opinion on the first subject, that
he did not propose to introduce any bill in reference to it.
As regarded the second subject, it was not improbable that
a bill respecting it might be introduced.
VAGRANCY (SCOTLAND).

THE REVISED CODE.

code. But after that date the managers of schools could
either receive grants for pupil teachers, or, if they paid
them themselves, they would be entitled to capitationgrants
under the revised code.
THE RIOTS AT LONGFORD. _

Mr. LEFROY asked the Chief &eatery for Ireland if
the Government had received full information as to the re-
sults of the riots alleged to have taken place at the late
election for Longford, and it that infer nation was calculated
to alleviate the anxiety produced in the minds of many per •
sons whose friends and tenants were rep •rtei to have been
dangerouelywounded Ly the mob, in consequence of threats
held out against them if they exercised their privilege of
voting for the candidate they wished to support ; and if
such was the case, if the Government proposed to take any
measures to prevent a repetition of such proceedings on any
future occasion f

Sir R. PEEL said that this was a question which ex-
cited a great deal of interest, and gave rise, no doubt, to
strong feelings in the minds of hon. members on both sides
of the house. (Hear.) He was not surprised that after the
cenes that had taken place at Longford that hon. members
should express strong feelings on the subject. He believed
that scenes of violence had taken place at the Longford
election which had not been witnessed for a long time in
Ireland. He believed also that the election—the mockery
of election he would call it—at Longford would form a sub-
ject of Parliamentary inquiry, and that no freedom of
opinion was exercised.
Mr. HENNESSY rose to order. He said that, as this
subject was to be brought before Parliament, he thought
the right hon, gentleman should not go into the question
pending that inquiry.
The SPEAKER said the hon. member was right as re-
garded a matter of order, but whether he was right as a
matter of discretion was another subject.
Sir R. PEEL said that the Government had taken mea-
sures to prevent disturbances, and those persons who
had been guilty of riot at the Longford election
would be prosecuted if they were detected. (Hear, hear.)
