LANDS CONNECTED WITH THE CITADEL OF

HULL.

Colonel DUNNE asked the Secretary of State for War
whether certain lands, comprising part of the glacis or other-
wise connected with the citadel of Hull, had not been
sold by the Board of Ordnance some years since; and
whether the titles to such lands so sold are not invalidated
by the recent opinions of the law officers of the Crown, al-
leged to have been given, as to the paramount rights of the
Crown to those lands.

Sir G. LBWIS said that the letter in question was per-
fectly valid.
CHARITABLE DONATIONS, &c. (IRELAND) BILL.
The O'CONOR DON asked the hon. member for the
City of Waterford, whether it was his intention to proceed
this session with the Charitable Donations and Bequt3.stB
(Ireland) Biil.
Mr. HASSARD said he would proceed with this bill on
Monday week.

COURTS MARTIAL.
In reply to Mr. O'BRIRN,
Sir G. LEWIS said that he had not at present any in-
tention to introduce a bill to alter the law relating to courts
martial. No doubt th 3 subject was suggested by the trial
which had recently taken place in Dul,7in, but he thou rht
it would be precipitate to make any alteration merely on the
experience of one case.

Sir W. GALLWEY moved for a committee to inquire
into the double appointment of Sir E. Pearson and Mr.
Tite, M.P., to the chairmanship of Westminster Im-
provement Commission; for copies of a letter ad-
dressed by the First Commissioner of Works to
Westminster Improvement Commission, inquiring whether
the chairman of the commission " will be entitled to
any emolument or allowances :" and, of the First Com-
missioner's correspondence with the Dean and Chapter
of Westminster, Mr. Tite, M.P., and Sir E. Pearson, rela-
tive 10 these appointments.
Mr. COWPER justified his conduct in this matter in his
official capacity.
