IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS EVENING.)

The house met at five o'clock.
EDUCATION IN INDIA.
Lord MONTEAGLE moved for a copy of a despatch
to the Government of India, on the subject of general
education in India. In a bill which their lordships
passed last year they made ,considerable steps towards
the employing of. native Indians, and what was proved
before the committee, on Indian affairs recommended
the education and employment of the natives, and to
forward that object was the reason why he moved for
the despatch in question.
Earl GRANVILLE said he had not the least objec-
tion to the production of the important paper to which
the noble lord's motion referred.
The motion was accordingly agreed to.
TICKETS OF LEAVE TO CONVICTS.

Lord ST. LEONARDS called attention to the system
of tickets of leave to convicts. He said it was hoped
when the ticket-of-leave system was adopted, convicts
would on obtaining a ticket of leave, and being with-
drawn from the scenes of their offences and from their
old associates, be enabled, owing to the demand for
labour being in excess of the supply, to get good situa-
tions at remunerative wages, and thus be placed in a
position to redeem their characters and have a fair chance
of getting a new start in life to obtain an honest liveli-
hood. But it appeared such hopes had not been
realised. for the state of society in England was
such, that there was scarcely a man who would em-
ploy, a person known to be a ticket-of-leave man.
The difficulty was, since .the abolition of transporta-
tion, what to do with. this class of persons. Dis-
charging them would be of no use unless they werepro-
vided with some means of earning their livelihood, and
the public must be protected as well as these con-
victs, and, therefore, turning them loose upon
society without any means of honestly supporting them-
selves would Le dangerous to society. He (Lord St.
Leonards) had asked of the Government what was the
number of persons who had got tickets of leave, and had
afterwards committed offences, and the answer was, the
Home office had no means of answering the question. He
wanted to know who should have the means of answer-
ing such a question if the Home-office had not, whose
peculiar duty it was to keep a record of the state of
crime and number of criminals throughout the country.
