COMBINATION OF WORKAfF4N BILL.

Mr. DRUMMOND moved the second reading of the
Combination of Workmen Bill. An act had formerly been
passed on this subject, the object of which was to place
masters and men on precisely the same footing. To that
enactment--a dispute having arisen—the judges had re-
cently given different interpretations, and this was a de-
claratory measure to define the real meaning originally
intended.

Mr. HUME said it was simply declaratory, and con-
tained but one clause. He hoped the house would agree
to it.

Lord PALMERSTON did not object to the second read-
ing, but wished to reserve to himself the right of consider-
ing whether the bill agreed with the act it professed to ex-
plain. He knew some doubt had arisen as regarded the
construction of the word " molestation," but though it
would be exceedingly wrong to alter the existing act so as
to permit that kind of molestation which, without any
actual violence, hinders men from their work. He had no
objection to the general object of the bill.
The bill was then read a second time—to be committed
on that day week.
The Sheriffs' Court (Scotland) Bill was read a second
time—to be committed on the 14th inst.
The house then adjourned at ten o'clock.
