IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS, July 1.
TRUSTEES RELIEF BILL.
The LORI) CHANCELLOR moved that this Bill be
read a second time. The Noble and Learned Lord, in
moving the second reading of the Bill, stated that last
year the money in the hands of the Accountant- General
of the Court of Chancery, amounted to 40,000,0001.,
while in the present it exceeded 51,000,0001. Only a
small portion of that amount was the subject of litiga-
tion, the greater part of it being placed in the Court of
Chancery, for the purpose of security. The object of
the Bill was principally to enable trustees to pay trust
funds in their hands into the Court of Chancery, with-
out filing a Bill, or creating any expense to the estate
of the infant, or the individual for whom a party was
trustee, thereby giving greater security to property, and
relieving trustees from their security.
After some observations from Lord ASHBURTON and
Lord MONTEAGLE, the Bill was read a seeJnd time, and
ordered to be committed.
BATHS AND WASH•HOUSES' BILL.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. July 1.
HEALTH OF TOWNS' BILL.
After a few words from Mr. BARNARD, which did
not reach the gallery,
Mr. NEW DEGATE (who rose amidst loud cries of
" Divide") wished to know why four miles, as the limit's
of this Bill round a city or town, should have been in-
creased to ten miles, and why so many new clauses had
been added to it?
. Mr. T. I:UNCOMBE said that the Hon. Gentleman
who hail just sat down appealed to the metropolitan
Members, and hoped they would not vote for going into
Committee. He thought the circumstance of their being
connected with London was a strong reason why they
should vote, and on that clause exempting London from
the operatio❑ of the Bill be would vote for its omission.
lie believed the Bill would increase instead of diminish
the value of property, a' drainage and cleanliness
would necessarily produce that effect. Whatever objec-
ion, however, there might be to its details, they could
be discussed in Committee, and he should, therefore,
support the motion.
Captain PECHELL was also in favour of going into
Committee, where the various amendments might be dis-
cussed, and the Bill made in accordance with the views
of the House.
Mr. P. BORTHWICK thought it was a very strange
and suspicious circumstance, that all who were to be ex-
empted from the operation of the Bill were in its favour,
and all who were brought under its provisions were
against it. He thought the omission of London was ex-
tremely objectionable, and though he gave her Majesty's
Government credit for good intention, he considered
the measure would not effect the good which they an-
ticipated. Believing that it was a crude, ill-digested, and
imperfect measure, and not sufficiently comprehensive in
its character, he would vote against going into
Committee.
Mr. F. BERKELEY was connected with a very large
city—the City of Bristol—which was in favour of the
measure, and the inhabitants of it thought it very
strange that so large a city as London should be opposed
to it.—(Cries of "Divide, divide.")
The House then divided, when there appeared—
For going into Committee ll7
Against it
Majority —9l
On our return to the gallery we found
Lord MORPETH explaining that he intended to re-
duce the commissioners from five to four—one of whom
only was to be a paid commissioners.
The House then resolved itself into Committee on
clause 1.
Mr. HENLEY said that, the Bill would only create
patronage, and he would put it to the Government
whether it would not be better to have one general Bill
for sanatory regulation, and to omit altogether all those
clauses which relate d to the appointment of commis-
sioners and secretaries. He concluded by moving the
omission of the clause
Lord W. PO WLETT did not object to the principle of
the Bill, but objected to many of the clauses. Ho con-
sidered that sanatory regulations could only be properly
carried out under the management of a central com-

mission.
An HoN. MEMBER did not think that the intervention
of commissioners was necessary for the purpose of pro-
[noting the health of towns ; he should, therefore, sup-
port the amendment.
Col. SIBTtiORP wished to know the salary of the
paid commissioner and the probable expense of the
central office. As the Noble Lord had reduced the
number of commissioners, perhaps he would think
Matrttniae tgettiliWinill'iors!L inspectors.T...ohseeelLurt
seemed to him, however, that the Bill would create a
number of new offices which the country could do well
without. He should offer all the opposition in his power
to the Bill passing into a law.
Mr. SPOONER also wished to know the salary of the
paid commissioner, and deprecated any secrecy on the
subject. Surely the Noble Lord had not come down to the
House to seek the passing of a Bill which would entail
great expense upon the country, but of the amount of
which he was ignorant.
Mr. MACKINNON supported the clause as it stood.
He defied them to bring the Bill into operation without
the aid of a central board. The Noble Lord had stated

of the commissioner.
Mr. MACKINNON—WouId they prevent

tory of imp-ovenent of the countrty. it' it t couldby giving the commissioner a salary of 1,5000
Sir W. CLAY said the word " centralisation" in this
country had almost gained the signification it obtained
during the time of the French Revolution; but if cen-
tralisation meant the diffusion of informittion on the sub-
ject of sanatory reform, and the collection and arrange-
ment of information, he considered that a body of this
kind was necessary.
Mr. HUDSON said the Bill would give the com-
missioners enormous powers—such as sending down
surveyors at great expense to make plans, which would
not be paid by the metropolitan members—(La ighter)—
but by the rate-payers. He considered that the sanatory
government of towns should
be left in the hands of local
boards, over whom the inhabitants exercised direct con-
trol. In the city of York, the sanatory condition of the
town was entrusted to a board, who had the entire con-
fidence of the inhabitants, because they discharged their
duties properly and economically. Although he did not
materially object to the Bill, he considered that it would
be well to leave the management of towns to local
boards. He could not understand why London was to
be exempt.—(Hear, hear.) The Government might,
by their majorities pass the Bill ; but they would ulti.
mately regret its adoption.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped
that they would remodel the Bill, and extend it to all
towns.—(Hpar, hear.)
Lord MORPETH said the sums necessary to carry
out the Bill would be voted by the House; but he might
state that the Government did not intend to proposF
that the paid commissioner should receive a higher sa-
lary than 1,0001. a year,—(Hear, hear.) Centralisati9u
