gress if the house agreed to go into committee of supply on

ASSESSED TAXES BILL.

On the motion for the third rending of the above bill.
Mr. LOCKHAB,T complained of the constitution of the
local courts and the conflicting decisions given by the pre-
siding authorities, and stated several objections to the de-
tails of the bill.
The bill was then read a third time and passed.
The Militia Ballots Suspension and Militia Law Amend-
ment Bill was read a second time.
The Sheriff's (Scotland) Bill was read a third time and

CANTERBURY WRIT.
On the order of the day for the adjourned debate on the
issuing of a new writ for the city of Canterbury being read,
Sir W. JOLLIFFE said that having gone through the
evidence which had been taken before the commissioners,
he should not offer any opposition to the amendment
of the noble lord the member for the city of London, that
no new writ be issued during the present session. He
wished to know whether the noble lord intended early
next session to deal with these boroughs, or whether he
proposed that they should remain, be their population
more or less—disfranchised, with aview of considering them
in connexion with a general measure of Parliamentary
reform ? The matter was one of great importance as it
involved a great constitutional principle. They had
issued this session six commissions affecting no less than
11 members ; and before that the borough of St. Albans
and the borough of Sudbury had been disfranchised ; there-
fore no less than 15 members were excluded from seats in
that house. It was for the house to consider whether they
would proceed to legislate on so great a question as that of
a change in the constitution of the house, with those
vacancies continuing. He thought it was very desirable
that the noble lord should express what the intentions of
the late Government were upon that point.
Lord J. RUSSELL could only so far state what the in-
tention of the Goverment was as to say that when all the
reports of the several commissioners should be printed the
Government would consider what measures ought to be
adopted with regard to the different places which were
affected by them. As to whether it would be advisable to
include them in any general measure, or to deal with
them by a separate one, was a question which must be left
open for consideration. As to the discussion of any great
measure of reform, he did not think any advantage would
arise by the house issuing writs for the election of new
members by those corrupt boroughs. Certainly, such a
course would not afford any advantage to the house in the
consideration of any great measure of Parliamentary
reform.

The motion for issuing the writ for Canterbury was
then negatived.
The Crown Suits Bill was read a second time.
Defacing the Coin Bill, and the Linen, &c., Manufac-
tures (Ireland) Bill passed through committee.
CUSTOMS, &c., ACTS.

Societies Bill ; Apprehension of Offenders Act Amendment
Bill ; Marriages, Holy Trinity Church, Hulme, Validity

Mr. LOWE obtained leave to bring in a bill to continue

and Inclosuro Commissions and for completing proceedings
under the Tithe Commutation Acts ; and the bill was sub-
sequently brought in and read a first time.
Mr. WILSON obtained leave to bring in a bill to autho-
rise the inclosure of certain lands under the Commissioners
for England and Wales ; and this bill was also brought in
and read a first time.
On the motion of Mr. WILSON the house, at its rising,
was adjourned till Monday next.
The house then adjourned at 1 o'clock.
