IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The SPEAKER took the Chair at the usual hour.
On the motion of Mr. BROTH E RTON, the Sugar Refin-
ing Patent Bill was read a second time and ordered to be
committed.

On the motion of Sir E. WILMOT, the Lords' amend-
ments to the Derby and Birmingham Railway Bill were
agreed to.

MIDDLESEX COUNTY COURTS BILL.
Mr. CRAWFORD mcved the Order of the Day for the
adjourned debate on the Middlesex County Courts Bill.
The adjournment he said had taken place at the instance of
the Under Secretary for the Home Department, to ascertain
the intention of Government with respect to a particular clause
which had been objected to. He then moved the insertion
of the clause.

Sir E. SUGDEN objected to the 40th and some! other
clauses. There was a general Bill before the House, which
would come on in the course of the evening, in which juris-
diction was given to Justices generally over the kingdom.
Mr. FOX MAULE thought his Hon. Friend had better
withdraw the clause.
Mr. AGLIONBY hoped the Hon. Member would not
consent to withdraw the clause, as in his opinion it was the
most valuable part of the Bill.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the House
divided, wllin there appeared—
For the motion
For the Amendment
Majority in favour of the c1au5e.......... —lO
The clause was then added.
On the question that the Bill do pass,
Captain WOOD said he could not .help, before the Bi
passed, protesting against a measure of this kind being intro,
duced under the guise of a private Bill. He believed this was
the first time power was given to the Crown to appoint a
Judge without a salary.
Mr. AGLIONBY said the Bill throughout the proceed-
ings in the Committee had been treated as a public measure ;
and the Members of the Committee, feeling there was some
responsibility on them, paid more attention to:the Bill and to
particular clauses than they otherwise would have done.
Lord TE[GNMOUTH did not feel competent to give an
opinion on the legal provisions of the Bill ; but after a most
violent opposition of four days, not a single accusation was
brought forward to induce the Committee to reject the Bill.
In fact no division took place on the preamble. Thefe were
on the Committee gentlemen of great legal skill of both par-
ties, and in addition to this it had come under the revision of
the House. lie hoped, therefore, credit would be given to
the Committee for not having endeavoured to smuglle the
Bill through the House after they had taken four weeks to
consider its provisions.
After a few observations from Mr. Darby, L: rd Granville
Someriet, and Mr. Freshfield, the Bill passed.
Mr. GIL LON gave notice, that on the motion for the
third reading of the Scotch Churches Bill he should move that
it be read a third time that day three months.
Mr. HUME gave notice of his intention to morrow, when
the Noble Lord at the head of the Home Department moved
his resolution relative to the pry posed grant for the Esta-
blished Churches in England and Ireland, to move that they
would be unjust to the interests of Scotland, and totally sub-
versive of those principles on which alone good Government
could be based.
Mr. 2sIbLE AN had a petition to present from the Merchants
and Traders of Glasgow, praying the llouse to take into their
serious consideration the state of the foreign commerce of the

26

country.
Captain
PECH ELL rose to crder. Fre had been informed
by the Speaker that no petition could be received after half-
p 4st four o'clock. Acting upon that information, he had been
dislapointed of an opportunity of presenting a public petition
on two days, as the private business bad consumed the half
........
hour.
The SPEAKER said the present petition required to he
presented, as it must be printed, in order Oat a motion might
be foundki upon it.
Sir R. PEEL suggested that, es none of the Ministers
were then in their places, probably it might be convenient that
the House should receive petitions for a short time longer.
'The SPEAKER said whatever was convenient to the
House was convenient to him; only it was his duty to attend
to the orders of the House.—( Hear, hear.)
M'LE A N then brought up the petition, and gave no.
ties that ho would call the attention of the House to it on the
26th of July.
REGISTRATION OF VOTERS (IRELAND) BILL.
The Registration of Voters (Ireland) Bill went through
Committee.

WESTERN AUSTRALIA BILL
Sir GEORGE GREY moved the second reading of the
Western Australia Bill.

Mr. HIN D LEY would suggest to the Hon. Baronet whe-
ther it was fit in the present state of Australia to continue till

1841, as this Bill proposed to dc, the pe!t7ters which czatain ,
dividuals, the eotriinissioners, al&eady had. tie also thought •
the Aborigines otielit s 4 be protected, and that a clause should
be inn:educed by which a uditain portion of land should be
approPriated to native inLitritanik •
lie threw titit titieSe i..i;;io'osiions to the' non. Baronet, and he
hoped his Bill would Ito frartied hi Committbe as to meet the
cases to which he had adverted.
Sir GEORGE GREY replied to 6,3 tryout. member; but
his observations were nearly inaudible. as they usually are,
from the position taken by the Hon. Baronet when he ad-
dresses the House. We understood him to say that he hoped
the measure taken for protecting the Aborigine' would prove
satisfactory to the Hon. Member.
Mr. HUME said when this establishment wtss commenced
the House had a pledge that no establishment should be charged
on the Consolidated Fund ; instead of which there would be
a vote proposed in the course of a fow days for 12,0001.,
whilst there were only 2,000 inhabitants. This was one
means of robbing the people of England to keep up an
establishment. There was no necessity for a Governor and
all the other paraphernalia whieliw,re found hero. It appeared
to him that the Colon'al Department gut money a great deal
too easy. Here was a grant of money as large es could be
required for a colony of 60,000 or 70,000 persons. He had
no doubt the Hon. Gentleman at the head of this department
found the office as it now was, but if he dealt with attention
to the people of England he would make those parties contri-
bute to their own expense, instead of which the colony con-
sisted of persons supported principally at the public expense.
After a few remarks from Sir GEORGE GREY, the Bill
wag read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow.
Mr. AGLIONBY moved that the Report on the Recovery
of Tenements Bill should be further considered.
Sir E. SUG DEN wished to know whether it was the in-
tention of the Hon. and Learned Member to press the Bill
further during the present Session. The reason he asked that
question was in consequence of the absence of several country
gentlemen who were anxious to take part in the discussion
on the Bill.

RECOVERY OF TENEMENTS.
Mr. AGL IO NBY sid that it certainly was his intention
to press the Bill forwai d with all the energy he was possessed
of, as it had already been postponed for three different Ses-
sions, in consequence of one of the most uncalled fo: opposi-
tions that was ever beat d of.
Sir E. SUG DEN said that such being the case, he felt
bound to move that the Bill should be recommitted that day
three months. He was sure if the House wished to keep well
with the country, it would not pass the Bill, as it gave all the
advantage to tl.e rich and none to the poor. That might do very
well in Turkey, but it would not do in a civilized country.
According to the wording of the Bill before the Huse the
very nicest points of law would be submitted to the considera-
tion of two Justices—men who of necessity were almost un-
acquainted with the laws of property. The very first use which
would be made of the Bill no doubt would be the oppression
of the poor, who were now in the enjoyment of wastes on
manors. No doubt a great number of poor persons would be im-
mediately turned out of such enjoyment, as, with the assistance
of two Justices, that might be done at an expense of from 3s. to 4s.
The object of this Bill was to give the power of turning out
at the will of the landlord every humble tenant, and without
any expense to the landlord. He certainly did not expect
such a measure as this would come from what was called the
Liberal side of the House. The rights of the poor would -be
trampled on by this Bill. He believed the Bill pro-
ceeded altogether on a wrong principle, and he should
give it his most decided opposition.—( Hear, hear, hear. )
He thought the lion: Gentleman ought to give more time for
this Bill to be circulated amongst the people, in order that
their opinions might be ascertained. He could not see what
necessity there was for the desperate haste to inflict so serious
an injury on the lower orders of the people for the benefit of
the rich.
Captain WOOD seconded the amendment.
Sir E. WILMOT thought the evils anticipated 'by the
Right Honourable Gentleman ( Sir E. Sugdcn) had been
grossly exaggerated.—( Hear, hear.) He ( Sir E. `V.) would
be the last man to give the Magistrates a power which they
ought not to have. He agreed with the Right Honourable
Gentleman that Magistrates ought not to be called on to
decide on intricate points of law, where tenants in bail and
tenants in fee and settlements were involved. But they were
to be called on to decide on merely trivial matters. The
country, so far as he was aware, was almost unanimous in
thinking this a fair Bill.
Mr. AG LIONB Y congratulated himself on the lengthened
speech of the Hon. Member for Ripon, for had he spoken at
an earlier period, he (Mr. Aglionby) might not have
been able' to control his remarks on the misrepresen-
tations which the Honourable Member had made on this
Bill, as well as on the tone, manner, and expressions used
towards himself as a public individual. He was willing
to throw himself upon the country and be tried by it, whether
he was not as little likely to introduce any law savouring
of Turkey as the Right Honourable Member himself.
—(" Hear" and laughter.) He admitted the statement
of the Right Honourable Baronet, that the present
was not the same Bill that had been three times post-
poned ; but why was it not so ? Because the Select Com-
mittee to which the Bill had been referred had altered it.
The Bill in the present shape was not so favourable
was not so favourable to the poor as when it was originally in-
troduced, because under it the Magistrates were made
judicial instead of ministerial. He felt bound to deny the
statements of the Right Honourable Member that he had
acted unjustly. towards the poor man, his object was to
protect him against the oppression of the rich.--(Haar.)
As the law at present stood the tenant would have in many
cases a notice of 43 days, but in'all he must have 31 before he
went out. He had applied to the Right Honourable Ger-
tleman (Sir R. Peel) for his assistance upon the Com-
mittee which had been refused, he therefore thought it
was most unjust and improper for the Honourable Gentleman
to indulge in such harsh language with respect to the labours
of the Committee. The Bill was intended to bring home jus-
tice to the poor man. The cottages of the poor landlord were
as much entitled to protection as the mansions of the rich.
He was anxious to protect the poor, and would consent
to any amendment for that purpose in the Committee—
( Hear, hear)--but he would not consent to protect the
dishonest man at the expense of one probably not
much richer than himself from whom he detained his property.
In justice to himself he must say, that since he intended to bring
in the Bill he had taken the opportunity of sending_ the Bill to
every place throughout the country—not to landlords alone but
to every Mechanics News-room of which he had the slightest
knowledge, and the only complaint he had heard against the
Bill was that it did not go far enough for the protection of the
small landlords. He trusted the House would agree to the
Bill being committed.
After come observations by the S 0 LIC ITO R- G ENE R A L,
The House then divided, when the numbers were—
For going into Committee
For the amendment
Majority against the amendment --10 h
The House then went into Committee.
