be extended to the University of London, which was fully
entitled to every mark of respect and confidence.
Mr. HEYWOOD suggested that there should be a gene-
ral act for all the universities.
After a few words from Mr. MALINS,
The house divided, when the numbers were—
For the motion to omit Durham from the
clause 65
Against it
Majority against Lord J. Russell's motion —5
The University of Durham is therefore excepted from
the operation of the act.
Mr. THORNLEY then moved that the colleges, halls,
and schools of the University of London, under the provi-
sions of any charter thereof, should be excluded from the
operation of the bill, his object being to place the Univer-
sity of London on the same footing with the Universities
of Oxford and Cambridge.
Lord J. RUSSELL objected to the proposed exemption,
which, he believed, would lead to great mischief if it were

carried.
Mr. HEYWOOD showed that the halls, colleges, and
schools connected with the University of London, were not
charitable institutions at all, but supported by the volun-
tary contributions of a large body of people. As Oxford
and Cambridge were excluded, so he thought should
London.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL considered that it
all the was
desirous the forms should be the same in respect of
universities, but he did not think it would be
pr.oper,
under present circumstances, to include the University of
London.
Mr. BLACKETT considered that the exemptiol?, so far
as the University of London was concerned, was right and
proper.
After a few words from Mr. when therepanda Mr. W. J.

LUNATIC ASYLUMS BILL.
On the motion that this bill be read a third time
Colonel SIBTHORP objected to the bill being proceeded
with, while the Hackney Carriage Duties Bill, to which he
meant to move amendments, was passed by.
The house, however, acting under direction of the
Speaker, proceeded with the Lunatic Asylums Bill.
Mr. WALPOLE proposed several amendments, which
were agreed to and embodied in the bill.
Mr. BRADY called attention to the manner in which
the bill would affect medical men. The medical man had
to examine the lunatic patient, investigate the whole of
the circumstances, walk perhaps two or three miles on the
occasion, and make a report, and for all those services and
the trouble ho was put to, all he received was 2s. 6d. He
thought the fee a paltry one, and should move that it be
struck out, and that a fee of 10s. 6d. be substituted in-
stead.
The SPEAKER informed the hon. member that he was
out of order, and could not, at that stage of the bill, move
his amendment.
The bill was then read a third time and passed.
At this stage of the proceedings,
Colonel SIBTHORP energetically called upon the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer to declare what his intentions
were with respect to the Hackney Carriage Bill, which
was the second order on the paper, but had not yet been
disposed of. If they were not going to take the bill to-
night, he (Col. Sibthorp) should at once move the adjourn-
ment of the house.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, that
he knew no hon. gentleman who was more entitled to an
immediate and courteous answer than the gallant colonel.
(Laughter.) His (the Chancellor of the Exchequer's) hon.
friend, the Under Secretary of State, did not propose to
attempt to go forward at present with this bill, but he
would communicate with the hon. and gallant gentleman,
and would endeavour to make such arrangements as would
suit the gallant colonel's convenience. (Laughter.)
The gallant colonel, bowing obsequiously to the Chancel-
lor of the Exchequer, left the house immediately.
The Crown Suits Bill, Loan Societies Bill, Marriages,
Holy Trinity Church, Hulme, Validity Bill, and Stock in
Trade Exemptions Bill, were passed through committee,
and their third readings fixed for to-day.
