CASE OF THE EARL OF WALDEGRAVE.
Mr. HUME begged to a-k a question of the Secretary
of State, to which he bored the Right Hon. Gentleman
would be able to give a sati4attory ansae:. On the 13th
of February, 1841, the trial of the Queen against
Lord Waldegre.ve and Captain Duff for an assault
upon some police officers, took placo in the Court of
Queen's Beach, when the Judge rec)mmeaded a private
settlement, and as nothing had since been done in the case,
the public mind was greatly climtisfied. He wished to
know whether the Government had brought the matter
to a close or net?

Mr. F. MAUL E said that neither the Hon. Gentle-
man nor the public need be alarmed lest any compromise
' of money should be allowed in the case alluded to.—
( Hear, hear.) His Noble Friend the Secretary of State
for the Home Department had always set his face against
any compromise, and the Commissioners of Police from the
the commencement of the prosecution, had always refused
to listen to any offers of the kind.—(HJar, hear.) The
defendant would be brought up for judgment at the com-
mencement of the next term.

LEBONE.
Lord FITZ AL AN begged to call the attention
of the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Co-

Obs:rver cf Sunday last, to the effect that a num-
ber of ferna'ea of depraved character were to be sent out
from Maryleb,ne to South Australia, at the parish
expense, in a ship without a superintendent or surgeon.
He begged to ask the Noble Lord whether the at cation
of the G,v,rumeLt had been drawn ti this matter, and
whether they apprcvc&4 of such an application of the parish
money ?

Lord J. RUSSELL said that the only 'toms ledge which
he had of the subj ct was from tl.e newspapers,
and in answer to 11,s Nagle Friend's secqnd question, he
could only say that he conside.cd the proposed application
of the parish funds to such a purpose a most improper one.
In aiswer to a quts!ion from Mr. GOULBURN,
Mr. LABOUCHERE sail he bad no doutt, from
tho infarmation of parties connected Pith tie India
Board, that it was uneerstood that undt r the Act
passed on the 10,h of June by the President of
the Council of Madras, the importation of foreign
sugar into Madras, whether by land or sea,
was as comp!e ely prohibited as the iraportati to
of foreign sugar into Bengal by the Act of tie British
Patliarrent. Of course if these were any ambiguity in
the wording of the Act, th. t ant iguity would be emcve 1.

Mr. E \CART ni.hed t') know wh.. ther it was the in-
tention of the Ccmmissione:s of Woods and Fo.e,t; to
throw oven the eitire of Regent's-Sark t) the public.

tion of the Commissiooers relative to Richmond-park.

gent's Park wAs to be ope led, but that with respect to
