part of the evidence given before the said Committee upon the
prosecutions for bribery at the said election, ordered by this
House.--Agreed to.
The House then resolved itself into Committee upon the
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION (IRELAND) BILL.
Clauses 83 to 87 were agreed to without amendment.
On clause 88,

Mr. JE PH SON proposed as an amendment—
" That the rates be applotted equally on all property liable
to assessment according to its value, and not by the ascending
scale of the 9th Geo. IV., cap. 82."
It was negatived without a division.
The Hon. MEMBER then proposed another amendment—
" To enable the town council to take leases and (subject to
the approbation of the Lord Lieutenant) to borrow money on
the security of the rates for paving, lighting, and suppling
the town with water."
This was also negatived without a division, and the clause
was then ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Clauses 89 to 100 inclusive were agreed to,
Clause 101 was postponed.
Clauses 102 and 103 were agreed to.
Clauses 104 and 105 were passed.
Clause 106 was read.

Mr. O'L 0 G HLEN proposed to consolidate the powers
possessed by the City Grand Jury of Dublin, and the present-
ing term Grand Jury of the city of the county at quarter ses-
sions, and to enable the city Grand Jury to assess for both
purposes at Nlichaelmas and Easter, for which purpose the
presenting term Grand Jury should lay before the Court of
King's Bench an estimate of the quarterly expenses they had
been in the habit of assessing, so that the superior authority
would in future assess both.

Mr. SHAW thought that no good cause could be shown
for this change, which would probably produce confusion in
the city accounts. He had never heard of any complaint of the
working of the present plan.
Clauses 106 to 112 inclusive were then passed.
In clause 113,

Mr. O'L OGHL E N proposed as an amendment that in cer-
tain cases the appointment of the Clerk of the Peace as Clerk
of the Crown should not be for life, but vested in the Lord
Lieutenant for Ireland, who should have the right of appoint-
ing from time to time, as in the cases of Clerks of the Peace
of Counties. ,

Clauses 113, 114, and 115 were passed.
In•clause 116, on the motion of Mr. WYSE, the following
words were added to the end—" Save and except the juries
summoned for an assize or general gaol delivery."
Clauses 117 to 138, inclusive, were passed without opposi-
tion.

In Clause 139,
Mr. JEPHSON proposed, as an amendment, That the
Lord Lieutenant be empowered to extend the Parliamentary
boundaries of boroughs to which charters of incorporation may
hereafter be granted."
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
CHEQUER opposed it, as likely to be productive of inconveni-
ence and invidious distinctions, and the original clause was
passed.
All the subsequent clauses were passed without opposition.
The House then resumed.
Mr. BERNAL reported progress, and the Bill was ordered
to stand over for further consideration.
A conversation was then entered into on the subject of the
schedules, and it was understood that if the House would permit
they would be taken into consideration to-morrow (this day).
The remaining Orders of the day were then disposed of, and,
On the motion of Mr. BR OTHERTON, the House ad-
journed at Half-past One.
