QUALIFICATION OF JURORS BILL.

Mr. 11 ES TER N postponed, until Monday se'nnight, the
further consideration of the Report on the Qualification of Jurors
Bill. _ _

CRIPPS was extremely desirous that this useful Bill
should pass this Session.
Sir E. KNATCHBULL did not concur in the opinion or
wish of the lion. Gentleman who had spoken last. Ile thought
it would be more material by permitting it to stand over until
next Session.

Mr. Alderman WOOD thought the utility of the measure
was so obvious as to require its speedy adoption.
Report postponed till Monday se'nnight.
MASTERS AND WORKMENS' BILL.

The Masters and Worlimens' Bill passed through a Com-
mite!. The Bill was reported, with some verbal amendments,
to the House. The Report was brought up, read a second time,
engrossed, and•ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.

HORSES SLAUGHTERING BILL.
The Horses Slaughtering Bill went through a Committee
pro forma.
On the motion that the report should be brought up,
Mr. WYNN objected to the measure. It was quite absurd
to suppose that every man was to be compelled to keep a
journal of every feed of corn he gave his horse, which was one
of the wise provisions of this Bill.
Mr. SMITH thought asses ought to be included in the pre-
visions of the Bill.
Mr. MARTIN said the bill might be defective; its provisions
•might possibly be imperfect, and the wit of the Hon. Member
might, perhaps, be deemed by. some peculiarly pungent. To
him, however, it seemed that it would be much more worthy
of the good feeling usually displayed by the Hon. Member to
substitute a remedy for that which was defective, than to labour
a joke for the entertainment of the unthinking.
Mr. SMITH explained, that nothing was farther from his
intention than to undervalue the humanity. of the lion. Mem-
ber for Galway, but he thought this was not a subject fit for
legislative enactment.
Mr. JOHN SMITH conceived that the evil of the injurious
treatment of horses was attributable to the want of education of
the lower orders pf the community.
Mr. MARTIN thought that some legislative measure shouldbe adopted, to cause the immediate slaughtering of the horses
by those persons to whom they were consigned, when qualified
for no further exertion.
The Bill, with its amendment, was reported to the House,
and ordered to be taken into further consideration on IlTcdnes-
day next.
LANCASTER COUNTY COURTS BILL.
The Committee on the Lancaster county Courts bill was de-
ferred until Wednesday next.

FUNERAL. or Slit J. HILL.—The funeral of the
late venerable and highly revered Baronet took place on Fri-
day last, at Prees, in Shropshire. The principal mourners were
Lord Hill, Sir Francis Brian Hill, Sir Robert Chambre Hill,
and col. Clement Hill. All along the line of the melancholy-
procession, for upwards of three miles, the road was lined with
spectators : the church-yard was filled with others—all anxious
to testify their esteem and regard for the deceased, and sincere
sorrow for his loss. The shops and houses of Prees were clos-
ed, as was done at Whitechurch, though at the latter place it
was the market-day.
