BILL.
Mr. HAWES had a petition to present which ha d
been agred to at a very numerous and respectable
meeting of h,s' constituents, expressing in the strongest terms
their dissatisfaction with the working of the Poor Law Bill.
He need hardly s:tY he entertained the highest respect for
the petitioners, but, on this subjct he felt bound to say that
he entirely differed froin them. When the Bill of which
the petitioners complained was introduced he (Mr. Hawes)
had been amongst those who gave it a warm and steady
support, and h continued bnause he saw that it had
worked the greatest possible good.—(Hear, hear, hear.)
He was sorry to see the petitioaers in the absence of
information, for he supposed they could not have had
the most accurate information on the subject. He was
sorry that, in the absence of such informai:on, the peti-
tioners should have thought it necessary to characterize this
Bill as one which they viewed with horror and disgust. It
also stated that the agricultural labourers were greatly in-
jured by the competition of Irishmen, who came over to
this country. He (Mr. Hawes) believed that the competi-
tion spoken of was rather beneficial than otherwise. On
the whole, he wished to present the petition with the greatest
respect to the parties from whom it came, but to guard
himself from being supposed to agree in its sentiments. He

Baker, praying that when the House had the subject of the
