this Bill to dissolve the boards of guardians in certain eases
was one they did not now possess ; and in the Castlebar case
they must have gone through the intermediate process of
another election, so that they could not have had a ?aid
board of guardians in less than two months. The provisions
of this Bill gave them the power of so appointing them
at once.
Mr. P. SCROPE inquired whether, in case of delay, the
Commissioners were responsible to the Right Hon. Gentle-
man or to Parliament. The Right Hon. Gentleman's recent
letter seemed to say, that they would be responsible to Par-
liament.
Sir G. GREY said the Honourable Gentleman had m's-
understood the letter, which disclaimed on the partlof the Go-
vernment the right to prescribe to the Poor-law Commissioners
the mode in which they should discharge the functions vested
in them by law ; but he had. never intended to say that the
Commissioners were responsible directly to Parliament. They
were, however, removable by the Crown ; and if the Govern-
ment thought that they failed in their duty it would be for
them to advise their dismissal.

Lord CLEMENTS inquired what means had been used to
provide boilers?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said, a num-
ber had been sent out in the Admiralty steamers, and a great
number of boiling pots belonging to the Ordnance Depattment
had been put at the disposal of the relief committee'.
The resolution was then agreed to. To be reported to. mor-
row (this day).

pose to proceed first with the Committee on the Destitute Poor
