Capt. PECHELL gave notice that it was his intention on
Monday to niovo for a return of the dtries cn windows.
An tION. Mete wished to ask the Secretary for the
Board of Trade what course was intended to be taken relative
to the Pilotage Bill ?

Mr. LABOUCHERE said that it was intended to :novo the
recommittal of the fill pro forma, in order to make consi-
derable alterations. .

Sir F. TRENCH wished to knew whether the Noble Lord
the Secretary for Ireland, was enabled now to give any in-
formation as to the reason why a person of the name of Parker,
who had prosecuted an. individual to conviction for a great
outrage, had been only paid half the reward. If the Noble
Lord were not prepared to give any information, he Sir F.
Trench could lay several letters before him that he had re-
ceived, which might assist him in doing so.
Lord MORPETH said he had a report from the Chief
Officer of the Constab&ary force in Ireland, from which it ap-
peared that Parker having rofewd to lodge the necessary h..
formation, and acting also as an unwilling witness, it was
thought half the reward was quite sufficient.
Sir S. CANNING gave notice that at the sitting of the
House to-morrow he would put a question relative to papers
connected with the seizure of the Vixen,

Mr. Sergeant JACKSON wished to ask the Noble Lord
if he were prepared to answer why it was that Lane, who had
given information for which a reward of 501. was offered, had
been refused such•reward.

Lord MO RP ETH said he had a reprint of the case, from
which it appeared that Lane applied for the reward, which, in
the usual course, was referred to the Crown Solicitor, who re-
ported that he had no claim to it. About three months
ego, he applied to the Stipendiary Magistrate, who also
reported that Lane had no claim at all to the reward, as be
had very hesitatingly given his evidence, and also tampered
with the principal witness, which prevented a conviction.
Mr. Serjeant JACKSON said the reward was 'offered for
information, which was given, and the party taken up upon it.
Lord MORPETH repeated his statement.
TRENCI-; gave notice that, on Monday, he would
move that it was the opinion nf the House that when the Exc_
cutive offered a rewud for th,e repression of crime; the with-
holding of it, or any part of 31 YY9P4d /emil to encourage crime

by deterring. persons from coming forward to give evidence,
and would do incalculable mischief. The explanation of the
Noble Lord was most unsatisfactory.
Lord ASHLEY asked what course the Noble Lord in-
tended to pursue on the 22d June with respect to the Factory
Bill.

Lora J. RUSSELL proposed to go on with the business
in the Paper.
Lord ASHLEY was very sorry that he was compelled to
take a course he did not like, but he had been so mocked, so de-
luded with respect to this Bill for two years, that he felt obliged
zs a point of his duty, whenever the Noble Lord moved
the Order of the Day, to move that this Order which now
stood first be taken.
