On our admiegien we found
th"; H. lIINDE on his legs, mov:rg that the power of
,fe `-ommissioners should be confined to the completion
41'iella. and that the Committee should define the rules
n which they ter re to act.
the H e ATT 0 RNE -GENERALY did not believe that
oe. Member was serious, for if Isis amendment was
earn d it would bind a future Parliament as to its conduct
lespectit g the power of the Poor-law Commissioners.
r!r•H HINDE certainly did not mean to divide the
2intai t-e after what had taken place; but be would
!ouch prefer to see the present Bill put upon the same
nit as the Bank Rrsstriction Act—to last for one year
Lo long r,
Lord HoWICK denied that any promise was held out
,
last the Comm's,i3n would only be continued for five
'begs It was clays understood they would be a perma-
`"t Cornmiszion.
lCo:onel SIBTIIORP should cert inly do all in his
°,_eto turn out the Commissioners, notwithstanding,

NEWFOUNDLAND HOUSE OF

'rt.(l'"ll the Newfounalaod Times of Feb. 17.)
doi I' ,most prominent feature in the " sayings and
ty,:i!La of the House of Assembly during the past %seek
''ae passing and presenting to his Excellency the
lerat'r of an address praying for copies of all the
uspecments relatine to the recent outrages at Carbonear,
lebsilyrihich his Excellency founded ceitain language
pecee4l,lr deemed it his imprativa
.duty to use in his
ture on opening the present session of the Legisla-
C which address it appears that, different from
of tt:te rest of the community, the House is in a state
h
most happy ignorance with regard to those events
fee lilt it knows nothing at all about them. It pro-
',ed to require further inforinat'on before it could be
414 a situation to judge of the necessity of altering the
ette,
weithe following is his Excellency's most judicious and
timed reply to this factious address—and would we
eo,i
tt44o:::it,;:nieti:n letters of gold :
,—The scandalous events which occurred
fernt7° partial elections during the late recess—the
a°, of tile"lma conduct of a mob at Carbonell., by which one
1.4 e elections was rendered abortive—and the neces-
ea! of Military interference and protection on these oc-
:Pa, are matters of general notoriety.
tio consider that the documents already before the
equse are sufficiently demonstrative to prove those
errli and, in the exercise of my discretion under the
eosidat circumstances of the colony, I must decline
to._°Pliance with this address, believing that no good
alialti result to the community from the publication of
sykittle: Jepresentations which I Lava rece veil on this
I,
tirn (3
convinced am I of the absolute necessity of an
thi:ridment of the election law, tiro. I avail myself of
PPortunity to state, that should, unhappily, no
legislative enactment be ma'le during this seision, to
Ir4lre the free exercise of th 3 franchis', and public
tleequillity in future electi, as, I will not undertake
t e
reaPonsibitty of issuing prod imat;ons or writs tor
elution of a new House of Assembly, or make n
telF trccountable for the seritur consequences, the cr n-
t°ll and bloodshed, so likely to ensue therefrom under
thee Present system ; hut, referring the whole affair to
ibSupreme Government, I will, as in duty bound,
ilt°Plicitly follow such directions as I may receive in that
"half.
