INCIJ3fBERED ESTATES (IRELAND) ACT CON.

TINIJANCE BILL.

On the order of the clay for the second reading of this
bill.

Mr. WHITESIDE appealed to the Government not to
bring it on at that late hour.
Sir J. YOUNG said he allowed the Sale of Land (Ire-
land) Bill, of which the hon. and learned gentleman was
the promoter, to be brought on at the same hour the other
night. Ho made no opposition to it, although the Govern-
ment opposed the bill ; but he certainly had understood
that the promoters did not intend to proceed further than
the second-reading, which understanding he now found to
be a mistake. The hon. and learned gentleman, therefore,
ought not to oppose their proceeding with the second read-
ing of this bill even at that late hour, and if he would per-
mit that stage to be taken at once, ho would give ample
opportunity for discussing its principles and details on
going into committee, which he proposed to fix for 12
o'clock on Tuesday next.
Mr. WHITESIDE denied that he had ever promised
not to proceed with the Sale of Land Bill further than the
second reading ; and with. some degree of warmth the hon.
and learned gentleman declared that he was quite ready to
dismiss the bill side by side with this ono.
Lord PALMERSTON said there was no necessity for
getting into an angry discussion on this matter ; but as the
hon. and learned gentleman had pledged himself to discuss
these two bills together, he would put to him how that
could be done when his own bill was on the paper then ?
(Hear, hear.) The hon. and learned gentleman, how-
ever, had made a fair offer, and he thought there would
be a fair fight if the second reading of the present bill
was taken, and the two placed on the paper again for
Tuesday next.
3Ir.WHITESIDE contended that the bill had been made
quite a different bill in the House of Lords.
Colonel DUNNE described the measure as unfair and
unjust. He should persevere in his opposition to it, and
he would move the adjournment of the house or of the
debate. (Oh, oh.) It was not fair to Ireland to press this
bill at so late an hour. He observed that the time when
Irish members were at the assizes were always chosen for
bringing in obnoxious bills.
Mr. F. SCULLY expressed a hope that the amen dment
would be pressed.
Mr. YfJALPOLE suggested that the second reading
should be agreed to: Mr. Whit eside's object would be
gained by taking the discussion when they went into
committee.
Mr. WHITESIDE acceded to the suggestion, and the
bill was then read a second time.
The committee was fixed for Tuesday at 12 o'clock.
COURTS OF COMMON LAW (IRELAND) BILL.
Mr. WHITESIDE moved the third reading of this bill.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to it, because
sevjral new clauses were to be introduced.
strilr. WHITESIDE charged' the Attorney-General with
striving to obstruct legal
reform.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL warmly
repelled the im-
putation, and said that the hon. andl

Colonel DUNNE complained of the unfair way in. which
Irish members and Irish measures were
more unjust. treated 111
to that
house. The present Government had
them than any of their predecessors.
Mr. NAPIER said the new clauses had all been the
subject of prolonged diicussion in committee.
The debate was ultimately adjourned till this day.
THAMES EMBANKMENT BILL.
On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Mr. A. PELLATT and Mr. LOCKE expressed a wish for
further information as to the expense of the improvement,
and the means of carrying it out. It was incumbent on
the house to fix some limit to the expenditur) they were
asked to agree to in respect to these works.
The hon. member sat down, and no member of the Go-
vernment rising, he rose again, and said if no explanation
was given, he should move an amendment that the Speaker
leave the chair that day three months. (Laughter.)
Sir W. MOLESWORTH would postpone the bill till
Monday next, in order to give the information the hon.
member desired. The embankment was agreed to in a
former session, and this bill was only to give additional
time.

The further proceeding on the bill was then postponed
till Monday.
