i POOR REMOVAL BILL.
Mr. S. WORTLE Y presented 12 petitions from different
parts of the county of York. against the Poor Removal Bill.
Mr. SCAR Lai'fil wished, if possible, to spare the country
the expense of printing some of the petitions. He was far from
desiring to press any measure against the sense of the House,
or of the country; but he would just read a few passages from
a letter which h 6 had received on the subject of his measure ;
and the House might then be enabled to judge of the motives
which in some places led to the opposition of it. The Hon.
and Learned Member then read an extract from the letter to
which he referred. It requested him to withdraw his clause
for preventing the removal of the poor, upon the ground that
it would press hard upon the practice of Attornies and young
Barristers—persons who were entitled to the.consideration` and
protection of Government.

- Mr. MONCK believed that the legal gentlemen were need-
lessly alarmed. The Bill would rather add to their practice
than diminish it.
