POOR LAW ADMINISTRATION BILL.

Mr. BORTHWICK inquired, in the event of the B.

coming down from the other House with any alterations,
if the Government would fix an early .day for their con-
sideration.
Sir G. GREY said the Bill would no doubt come
down from the House to night, and he proposed to take
the Bill either to-morrow or on Monday.
Mr. HINDLEY said he was not satisfied with the
reply. Would the Government stand by the resolution
of the Hon. Member?
Sir GEORGE GREY could state nothing more than
he did the other night.
Mr. BORTHWICS said he should feel it his duty to
maintain the clause he had proposed, and which was
carried, with respect to the separation of old couples, in
all its integrity.

Mr. B. CABBELL said the Right Hon. Baronet the
Secretary of State for the Home Department, was repre-
sented in the public journals to have raid, with reference
to this subject, that he (Mr. B. Cabbell) had entered
into an arrangement to furnish the law officers of the
Crown with papers on the matter. He wished it to be
distinctly understood that he gave a direct negative to

DEANERY OF MANCHESTER.
Mr. HORS MAN enquired if the Rev. Mr. Bowers,
who had been recently appointed to the deanery of
Manchester would be allowed to retain,the post of rector
of St. Paul's, Covent-garden.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated that he had consulted
the Duke of Bedford on the subject of the Rev. Gentle-
man's relinquishing the office which he held in St.
Paul's, Covent-garden. He said he had given the ut-
most satisfaction, and that he was a very proper person to
appoint to the vacant office, but as it might take a
short time to fill up the office, as the parish was a
difficult one, he inquired if any inconvenience would re-
sult from his performing his duties for a short time until
his successor could be appointed. He (Lord J. Russell)
consented, as there was no immediate urgency for the
Rev. Gentleman to enter upon his new duties.— (Hear.)
Mr. RINDLEY said he bad been acquainted with the
Rev. Gentleman for some time, and he believed his ap-
pointment would afford the utmost satisfaction.
