IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(THIS DAY.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at ten mioutem after 12
o'clock.

BOROUGH RATES BILL.
This bill was read a third time and passed.
SALE OF BEER, &c., BILL.

On the motion for the third reading of this bill,
Mr. HENRY BERKELEY objected to the bill as
interfering with the enjoyments of the poorer classes on
Sundays, as it would deprive them of obtaining refresh-
ment after one o'clock. That which was sin in the poor
man was virtue in others, or why were the London
clubs and large hotels at Richmond, Blackwall, and
Greenwich, not closed with the rural taverns on Sun-
days. This one-sided legislation was a disgrace to Par-
liament ; it was mainly directed against the excursion
trains, the travellers by which were not treated as tra-
vellers, according to the statute, and thus by this bill
they would be unable to obtain refreshment in the
country.

Mr. WILSON PATTEN said the bill dealt equally
with the rich and the poor, and the time for opening
public houses on Sundays had been extended expressly to
meet the case of excursion trains.
After some observations from Mr. L. HEYWORTH and
Lord D. STUART,

Mr. W. J. FOX complained that, if this bill passed,
the present ruling of the Police Courts would shut out
passengers by excursion trains from obtaining refresh-
ments in the middle of the day on Sundays.
Mr. HENLEY said it was quite ridiculous and ab-
surd to say that a passenger by an excursion train was
not a traveller. If he was not, he could not tell what
the term traveller meant.

The bill was then read a third time and passed.
