that there was not sufficient evidence to connect Mr. Barnett,
the agent of Mr. Gladstone, with the drinking, and other oc-
currences, at the New Inn on the evening of the nomination.
A witness named Plaice, whose testimony was to the same
effect as that already adduced, was then examined, and the
Committee adjourned at four o'clock.

ST. ALBAN'S ELECTION COlll

MITTEE.

(Continued from The Sun of yesterday.)

On the re-admission of strangers,
The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee had de
cided that the question might be pu:.
' The witness being recalled, said he had put the amount down
to the account of Lord Listowell's Committee.
Cross-examined—Did not put Lord Listowell's name down,
merely put down the words " To the Committee."
Robert Adams was then called.
Mr. AUSTIN said it was his intention to resist any attempt
to prove an act of bribery on the part of Mr. Webster ; and it
having been arranged to proceed at once with the argument on
that point, the witness was ordered to withdraw, and
the Learned Counsel proceeded to argue that a per•
son might be an agent for a lawful purpose without being
an agent for an unlawful one. Nothing had been proved
to establish the agency of Mr. Webster. It had not
been proved that he had either ordered the erection of
polling booths, or paid for them on Lord Listowell's account ;
or that he had paid the expenses of the Committee. It had
not been proved that he had called at Mr. Coppock's ; true he
had gone to the Treasury and had canvassed, but noting had
been proved to es'ablish Mr. Webster's agency. The Learned
Counsel then quoted several authorities to show that there was
no proof of 'dr. Webster's agency.
Mr. HILL YA RD contended that she facts in evidence were
quit! sufficient to establish Mr. Webster's agency. He had
been in constant communication with Lord Listowell. He
had ordered horses at Barnet for Lord Listowell, and therefore,
it was presumed, by his Lordship's orders—had identified him-
self with Lord Listowell in the most public manner, and
had carried a canvassing book, a book only entrusted to a
most confidential agent of a candidate. There could be no
doubt but that he was Lord Listowell's agent ' • and he in-
tended to follow up this evidence by proving that Mr. Webster
had offered Adams money for his vote ; and if that proof were
not allowed to be giv,n, the Acts inflicting penalties for bri-
bery had better at once be erased from the statute-book. The
Learned Gentleman then quoted several au,titorities in support
of his argument.

Mr. AUSTIN then rose to reply, when he was interrupted
by the Chairman, who desired him to abstain for a few mi-
nutes. The Committee deliberated for a few minutes when
the Chairman directed the Learned Counsel to proceed with
his argument.

AUSTIN then proceeded to reply to the several arguments
of Mr. Hillyard. Before he had finished it was announced that
the Speaker was at prayers, but the Chairman and the Committee
decided that they would sit until Mr. Austin should have con-
cluded . his argument. The Learned Counsel then proceeded
to controvert the various authorities quoted by Mr. Hillyard,
and concluded by submitting that there was no proof what-
ever of the agency of Mr. Webster.
The Committee at the conclusion of Mr. Austin's argu-
ment, adjourned till to-morrow.

The Earl of MOUNTCASHEL presented a pc-
ti ion from the Medical Association of a piece in
Irel,nd, complaining of certain provisions in the Vac-
cination Act, which authorised the levying of ra c 3
for the payment of medical officers employed in car-
rying the Act into effect. It appeared to him
that sue.' rules were illegal, and that tie persons
urym whom they were imposed were justified in resisting
them. He gave notice that to-morrow he should put a
question to the Noble Viscount (Melbourne) on the subject.
The Earl of CHARLEVILLE gave notice that on
Thursday next he should move for a copy of the criminal
panel at the last Queen's County Assizes, with a rule of
Court relating thereto.—Adjournel

placed it in the bands of the Members at an earlier period
than was at present intended.
Mr. E STCOURT said that as the petition referred to
a matter of great importance connected with the privi-
leges of the House, it should be brought on at the earliest
possible period under their consideration. He should,
therefore, vote for the printing of the petition.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that it was their duty to ad-
here in that instance to the practice of the House, He
would not say whether a bEtter rule than the present
[eight not be established, or whether they should not
place some further restrictions on the printing of peti-
tions ; but the question then was the application of the
existing rule. He found that the law of the case had been
laid down by Lord Dunfermline as follows ;—" That all
petitions which are presented relative to subjects which
Members wished to bring under the consideration of
the House are printed with the votes, the Member
giving notice when he presented the petition of the day
on which he will make his motion." When, therefore,
they refused to print a petition, it should be on some
ground of exception why the rule laid down should not be
adhered to in a particular instance. There might be va-
rious grounds for such an exception. It might be sai I,
for instance, that the matter was one so well known
that it did not require any particular notice ; or it might
be found that the petition was libellous, or such as ought
not to be printed unless for the use of Members only.
The petition bet ire the House did not, however, seem
to him to offer any just ground why the House should refuse
its being printed. It did not relate to a grievance which
the petitioner alone had felt, but the subject was one of
great imporance, relating as it did to a refusal to present
a copy of a registry, for whic'i the party offered 155.,
while the officer stated that a far larger sum would be re-
quired. The case was one to which the House should look
with great delicacy. The petition contained. noth ng af-
fecting the chaiacter of the individual against whom the
complaint was made. He might have acted with perfect
propriety, and it might have been impossible fur him to
have presented a copy at a lower price than he named.
Lae ing aside, therefore, every consideration as to the fitness
of establishing a new rule with regard to petitions, he
should certainly vote fur the printing of the petition in
question.
The petition was then ordered to be printed.
Sir E. KNATCHBULL moved that the petition of
._ ... . .. . . . .

Mr. lienslow, which he had presented on the 24th inzt.,
be printed with the Votes. If, however. the Chancellor
of the Exchequer would promise to produce the papers to
which the petition referred, the necessity for printing it
would be obviated.

The CHANCELLOR ofthe EXCHEQUER did not
think it advisable that an attorney should be encouraged in
com'ng to that House relative t 3 a legacy duty, and would
oppose the motion.
Sir R. PEEL thought it of great impor:ance that the
rules which had been laid down by the House with regard
to ti'e presentation and printing of petitions should be
strictly attended to. The rule adopted by the House at
present was that a Member might move the printing
of a petition, provided that be gave notice of
his intention to found a motion upon it. But
if that rule were permitted to be abused, then
all the rules and regulations with regard to the print;og
of petitions would be entirely superseded. He hoped that
his Right Hon. Friend (Sir E. Knatchbull), who, on all
occasions showed a great anxiety to uphold the rules of the
House, would withdraw his proposal for the printing of the
petition.—( Hear, hear.)
Lord HO W ICK would vote against the motion, for he
thought that much less inconvenience would arise fr An re-
ferring petitions in all cases to the Committee, than from
having discussions in each particular use. He was of
opir.ion that without a reference to the Committee no peti-
tion should be printed upon the motion of the presenter,
except in cases only where time was of importance.
Af,er a few words from Sir FL Peel, Mr. Hume, and
Mr. Goulburn,
Sir E. KNATCHBULL said he. would withdraw his
motion until Tuesday.
LIVERPOOL GAS BILL.

Lord SANDON brought up the report of the Liver-
pool Gas Bill. _ _

Mr. SHE IL said that the Liverpool Gas Bill, 158
Geo. 111., empowered the Company to raise a capital
of 50,0001. and no more. Unfortunately the Act con-
tained no provision by which the distribution of profit
should be limited to 10 per cent., the surplus profits boing
applied to the reduction of the rates. By the present
Bill, it was proposed to add a considerable sum, not less than
125,000/ to the capital of the company. The profits had been
very considerable, sometimes amounting to 40 per cent. ; 20
per cent. had been distributed among the proprietors, and
the remainder had been applied to the erection of works,
and it was now proposed that a sum of 125,0001. should be
consolidated in the capital of the Company. It was also
proposed in the present Bill that the profits should be li-
mited to ten per cent., and that the public should be bene-
fited by obtaining gas at the rate of 7s. por thousand cubic
feet, instead of Bs., which was the present price. There
was nothing in the present Act which he was called on to
oppose, but be must protest against the practice on which
the Bill was founded.

After a few words from Lord Sandon, Mr. Tatton
Egerton, and Mr. Labouchere, which in consequence of
the noise in the House were inaudible in the Gallery, the
Report was agreed to.
JOINT STOCK COMPANIES.

Mr. LABOUCHERE gave notice that on Thursday,
the Ist of April, he should move for the appointment of a
Select Committee to inquire into the state of the law re-
specting Joint-stock Companies.
Mr. F. MAUL E gave notice that on Monday next be
should move for leave to bring in a Bill, respecting the
employment of children and young persons in the silk ma-
nufacture.

Mr. HUME moved for certain returns relative to the
receipts and expenditure of the Tower.—Agreed to.
CASE OF THE EARL OF WALDEGRAVE.

Mr. HUME begged to aik a question of the Secretary
of State, to which he hoped the Right Hon. Gentleman
would be able to give a satisfactory answer. On the 13th
of February, 1841, the trial of the Queen against
Lord Waldegrave and Captain Duff for an assault
upon some police officers, took place in the Court of
Queen's Bench, when the Judge recammeoded a private
settlement, and as nothing had since been done in the case,
the public mind was greitly diiciatisfied. He wished to
know whether the Government had brought the matter
to a close or not?

Mr. F. MAUL E said that neither the Hon. Gentle-
man nor the public neei be ala-mcd 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.—( Hear, hear.) The
defendant would be brought up fot judgment at the com-
mencement of the next term.

That it appears, by papers now before the House
(No. 511, 1840, No. 81, 1841), that there has been

concurring in the opinion with the Governor and
Legislative Council of New Smith \Vales, that
the charge of glob and police in that col my
ought for the present to be apportioned between the
colony and the mother country , will, on Wedeesday next,
resolve it elf into a Committee of the whole
House, for the purpose of considering what may be the
proper amount to be allotted in the way of a fixed
annual sum, in aid of that charge ; and for the pur-
pose of considering what may he the best means of maki, g
good to tee Land and Emigration Fund of New South
Wales the deduction which has been therein occasioned
by the entire burthen of gaols and police having
been unduly thrown upon the Colony since 1835.
The Hon. Gentleman stated that last year he presented a
petition on this subject which bad been printed with the
Votes, and which he hoped had met the eye of every lion.
Member. In the various commercial towns of England
there were a number of merchants and traders carrying on
an extensive commerce with New South Wales, and the
opinions of those merchants might be gathered from the
petition which he bad had the honour to present from the
merchants of the City of London on the subject ; they had
stated many facts, showieg the great importance of the
colony of New South Wales. The amount of shipping
which had sailed during the last year from London and
Liverpool atone to the colony of New South Wales
amounted to 49,000 tons; the total value of the exports
front the United Kingdom in the year 1839 to New South
Wales was 1,700,000/. ; and the imports of wool from that
Colony into the UMted Kingdom is 1839 amounted
to 6,900,0001h5. weight, being one-fourth part of the total
amount imported into the kingdom, including the importa-
tions from Russia and Germany. He did not mean to lay any
stress upon this in his argument, because if he could make
out that there had been unfair dealing with the finances of
a colony, no matter whether that colony was a large one
or a sma'l one, it was entitled to redress. But he thought
it fit that the House should be aware of the subject matter
with which th,y would that evening have to deal. This
was a colony of the greatest importance to England, and
not open to all those severe criticisms which had been so
freely indulged in the other evening, when the affairs of
the colony of South Australia were under discussion—this
was an established colony in a thriving condition, and giv-
ing employment to a large amount of capital. The tree
population of New South Wales amounted to 110,000
souls, and the convict population under assignment to
38,000 souls. Ho should show to the House that an in-
jury had been clone not only to that colony, but to every
poor person in England desirous of emigrating, by the
abstraction of a large sum from the Land and Emi-
gration Fund of that colony, in consequence of

£191,000

the measures adopted in 1835, transferring to the co-
lony of New South Wales the entire burden of the ex-
penses of the goals and the police. He had thought it
right to record that fact, by transferring to the votes of
that evening the record of the resolutions come to on the
subject of the Legislative Council of New South Wales.
The Legislative Council of the colony was nominated by
the Crown, not elected by the colony, and those resolu-
tions announced facts which it would not be very easy for
any gentleman to dispute or deny. Up to the year 1834
there had been no dispute as to whether such charges
ought to be borne by the colony or by the mother country.
Those charges had passed in everybody's estimtvion as an
incident and a consequence of the transportation
system.—( Hear, hear, hear.) It had never been pro-
posed that the colony should bear the expense
either wholly or in part. At the end of 1834 the Trea-
sury and Mr. Secretary Rice adopted a resolution im-
posing upon the colony the entire burden and charge of
gaols and police. They came to that resolution without
having given the colonists anv notice of their intention,
and without having ascertained how it would be received
in the colony, or what arguments could be advanced
against it. They appeared not to have considered that
there was an intermediate course between imposing upon
the colony all the charges and imposing none. He had
in his hand a de3patch.and secretary minute of the 15th

of November, 1835, addressed to 'Sir Richard Bourke,
then Governor of New South Wales. In this despatch
the proposition was, for the first time, mooted. It ap-
peared from this minute that the resolution was founded
upon the general prosperity of the colony, anu upon the
apparent surplus then existing in the colonial treasury.
The Hon. Gentleman then read an extract from the Trea-

sury Minute, to the effect that, in 1827, when the exist-
ing arrangements were made, the local government
were advised that, as the prosperity of the colony
augmented, the colonial revenue would become charge-
able. In the estimate of the surplus Mr. Secretary
Rice had not borne in mind that there was included in that

surplus a considerable amount received from the Land

and Emigration Fund of the colony, which had Rot at that
time been detached from the general revenues. The es-
timate formed by Mr. Secretary Rice, and the Treasury,
of the amount of burden which they were in this way im-
posing upon the colony was 25,0001. per annum. If this
charge gal been in reality 25,000/. a year, and no more,
no complaint would ever have have been heard. But the
fact was that the charge which that resolution of 1834 had
created amounted in the 6 years to 597,000/. By a state-
ment which he held in his hand of the annual disburse-
ments it was no less, upon the average, than 100,0001. per
annum. It might be asked how it had happened that the
charge which had been the actual consequence of the
minute so largely exceeded the estimate. It appeared
that at that time the gaols and the police of New South
Wales were in the most desperate and dangerous condi-
tion. There had for some time previously been
scarcely any attention paid to them.--( Hear, hear )
In his opinion it was no reason for imposing upon the
colony any charge that ought to be borne by the mother
country, that there was ae overflowing treasury. Let
them look at the amount of convict population in New
South Wales, and they would at once see that the mother
country ought in justice to bear the gaol and police ex-
penses; had the colony been peopled by a free population,
such a charge would not be asked to be borne by the Trea-
sury ; but the transportation of the convicts was a relief
to the mother country, and he thought it would be the
height of injusece to cell upon the colonists to pay for our
transportation system, which was for the benefit of Eng.
land and English purposes, not for the good of the colon).
He did not quarrel with the Colonial Government for not
asking a premium from the parties in New South Wales
to whom the convicts were assigned, he thought every in-
ducement ought to be held out to settlers to obtain labour
at the cheapest rate ; but if the tax was not to be paid by
the emigrants, it was most unfair to impose a tax upon
otin r parties to defray the expenses of the gaols and
police. In 1834 the revenue of the colony was in
a most flourishing and prosperous state, but since then :t
had fallen off considerably. That arose from the heavy
charge which had been imposed fur gaols and police, and
the large demands that had been made upon the emigra-
tion fund. lion. Members would find that remonstrances
had been sent to the Government at home from all quar-
ters, praying that the burden might to be taken off their
shoulders; and he regretted to find that the Treasury had
not beers induced to comply with the just demands of the
colonists. It would appear that a sum of 100 0001. per
annum had been added to the burdens of the colonists Since
the charge for gaols and police had been laid upon them.
Had it not been for that most injudicious step, it was im-
possible to suppose that there would have been so great a
diminution in the revenue of the colony. If the Treasury
had proposed to pay one half the charge for the gaols and
police, they would have contributed to the colonial revenue
net less than 280,0001. and that sum would have rendered
unnecessary for them to draw upon the emigration fund.
Ho admitted that emigration to New South Wel
had never been stopped entirely, but tho general
complaint was, that it did not go on to the
extent they had a right to anticipate, or to
an extent at all commensurate ts ich the wants of the colc-
nists. The expense of sending an adult emigrant. to
New South Wales was about 201. ; and it appeared that
there had been a sum of 260,0001. subtracted from the
emigration fund. Now, that sum, at the rate of 20/. per
head, would send not less than 13,000 respectable emi-
grants of the class most required in that colony from
Great Britain to New South Wales. It was not to the
colony alone that the question of emigration was of con-
sequence. Other persons besides the colonists were deeply
interested in the question ; he meant those individuals in
the mother country who a ere desirous to emigrate, be-
cause their condition would be thereby greatly te!tere
It was most difficult to obtain a sufficient supply of labour
of any kind in the colony, and hence the high wages given
to labourers. Every thousand pounds abstracted from the
emigration fund deprived fifty poor peraons of the
means and opportunity of making a charge in their situa-
tion for the letter—a change which it was not possible for
that House to bring about with such beneficial results to
those individuals. The lion. Gentleman here read an ex-
tract from a report of a Committee of the LegislativeCoen-
cil of the colony on the subject of emigration, to show
the exorbitant rate of labourers' wages, and the inconcei -
able difficulty of procuring SC; vints or mechanics of any
description, and, proceeded to show that some means ought
to be taken to remedy that state of things which seas ag-
gravated by the cessation of the transportation of con-
victs to the cclony. He insisted that the colonists
had a right to expect that the proceeds of the sates
of the Crown land should be applied to emigration
purposes, and that if in the year 1831 such bed not
been their expectation these proceeds, instead of amount-
ing to the sum of 950,0001. would not be more than
9,5001. The lion. Member in proof of his statement had
r:ai a passage from a despatch of Lord Howick, the
Under-Secretary of State for the Colonies, dated the 18th

cfJu)t, 1831, which went to show that Lord Goderich,
the then Secretary for the Colonies, approved of the ap.
plication of the reve:tues for the Crown lands to emigra-

Lion purpcses.
