MPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF LORDS-THIS EVENING.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

BARRACKS IN IRELAND.

_ _..._,.._ .
The Marquis of CLATTRICARDE asked the Secretary
of State for War if the rumour was true that several small
barracks in Ireland were to be sold ?

Earl DE GREY said it had for some years been under
consideration whether certain small barracks should not be
sold. The Duke of Wellington had had the subject of
small barracks constantly under his consideration, but the
matter had been now in some measure decided on, as it
was proposed to dispose of 19 small barracks, but barracks
in Galway were not amongst the number. Some of the other
small barracks it was proposed to use as militia stores.
In reply to Lord PANMITRE,
Earl DE GREY said that the Government was well
convinced of the inadvisability of splitting up the regi-
ments into small detachments.

The Earl of MALMESBURY trusted a price commen-
surate with the value of the barracks would be insisted

The subject then dropped.
THE CASE OF MR. EDMUNDS

The LORD CHANCELLOR laid on the table reports
and documents relative to the case of Mr. Edmunds, and
moved that they be printed for the use of the members of
the select committee exclusively.
The motion was agreed to.
ATTORNEYS AND SOLICITORS BILL.

The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading
of this bill.

Lord ST. LEONARDS, at some length, stated his ob-
jections to various portions of the bill.

patent for inventions.

REGISTRATION OF COUNTY VOTERS.
Mr. WESTERN asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether it was his intention to bring
in any measure founded on any of the recommendations
contained in the report of the select committee on registra-
tion of county voters ; and, if not, whether he purposed to
introduce any bill for the amelioration of the present sys-
tem of county registration.

Mr. T. BARING, in the absence of Sir G. Grey, said
that his hon. friend the member for West Sussex introduced
a bill on this subject, but he was unable to prosecute it
this session from his state of ill health, but the honourable
member for Northampton intended bringing forward a bill
on the subject, and under these circumstances Government
did not intend to introduce any bill in reference to the sub-
ject.
