THE ROAD MURDER.

In reply to Mr. WHALLEY—,
Sir G. GREY said the Government had no intention of
proposing such a bill to Parliament. (Hear, hear.) The
matter had been investigated before a very full bench of
magistrates, and it did not appear that any person abso-
lutely refused to answer any material question, as enough
had been elicited to commit the prisoner for trial. (Hear.)
ARMSTRONG AND WHITWORTH GUNS.
Mr. H. BAILLIE asked the Under Secretary of State
for War whether, the special committee upon Armstrong
and Whitworth guns had made any report in reference to
the 12-pounders ; and, if so, whether ho had any objection
to lay it upon the table of the house ?
The Marquis of HARTINGTON said the first part of
the report with reference to the 12-pounder guns had been
received, but the second part had not been received. As
the matter was in an unfinished state he could not consent
to lay the portion of report received on the table of the
house.

BANKRUPTCY.
Mr. PAULL asked the Attorney-General whether it was
the intention of her Majesty's Government, at the earliest
possible period, to submit to Parliament a measure for the
amendment and consolidation of the bankruptcy laws ; and
if so, whether such measure would provide for the aboli-
tion of the Bower of imprisonment of debtors, to compel
the payment of money under any judgment or order of any
court, including county courts, and other courts for the
recovery of small debts.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it was intended,
at the earliest possible period, to submit a measure for the
amendment and consolidation of the bankruptcy laws, but
he feared it could not be done during the present session.
The committee had, as the hon. gentleman no doubt was
aware, recommended the abolition of imprisonment for
debt. The whole of the recommendations would be well
considered by the Government, but he could not anticipate
the conclusion to which the Government would come.
