POOR-LAW (IRELAND).
The Duke of WELLINGTON said that he bad,t.tioved
some time ago for papers with respect to the operat.'on of
the Poor-laws in Ireland, which had not yet been laiti be-
fore the House. He, therefore, wished to know w hen
be might expect them. He was pariculat"ly
anxious fa- one with respect to the Poor-lavr
Guardians of Naas. It appeared that the gentleman
who was returning officer of the board of guardians of
that place, bad been tried and convicted of an offence..
What the offi.nce was, he (the Duke of Wel-
lington) would not name, as it would appear
in the record of the tiial, for which he would
then move. The Noble Duke thin moved for a return of
the Record cf the trial of Bartholomew Casey at the
Sassiots House, Green-street, Dublin, on the 7th of July,
1839, before Chief Justice Dogerty and Judge Johnson.
The Marquis of NORMANBY said he had made in-
quiry into the circumstances of this case, and, from what

was some mistake as to the identity of the party. With
regard to the other papers,they were more voluminous than
perhaps the Noble Duke was aware of, but they should be
delivered as soon as possible.

be would give an answer on Monday.
Lord MELBOURNE presented a petition from ban-
cashire agiinst any further grout to the Established
Church in England and Scotland.
Their Lordships then adjourned to Monday next.

HOUSE OF COMMONS, APRIL 2.

- -
The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock.
Mr. DENNISTOUN presented a petition from the
Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway Company, against the
Railways Regulation Bill.
The %Vbitlesea Inclosure Bill, the Birmingham and
Hagley Road Bill, the Dublin Wide Streets B ill, and the
Bradford Water- works Bills, r, ere severally rea d a secood
time.
POLLOC AND GOVAN RAILWA .Y•
Mr. J. JONES brought up the report on the. Pollee-
and Govan Railway Bill.
Sir G. CLERK stated that that Railway would cross
a turnpike-road leading to Glasgow and Paisley, which
was a very great thoroughfare and the public woold be
much inconvenienced by any injury done it. Ho I%here-
lore suggested the propriety of a clause wining
introduced into the Bill to prohibit the Company !rum
laying their lines across the turnpike-road till they erooterli
a viaduct, and thereby carried the railway over the .1,,r-
-seer, or until, by means of a briige, they raised the tuan-,
pike-road over the railway, so as that the latter would not:
interfere with the traffic upon it. The Hon. Barone:: then.
moved the insertion efa clause to that effect in the Bill.
Mr. LABOUCHERE said it was scarcely possible to.
doubt, that if the sta•ements of the Right Hon. Banonet:
were correct it would be necessary fur the House to t-ike•
some measures to prevent a state cif things calculated to,
produce many accidents. He thoilght under the eireum-.
stances the Letter course would be to recommit the Bill.
Mr. JOHN JONES supported th n clause, but wsa
inaudible is the gallery. We understood the Hon.
Member to spy that the Committee b.ad paid great
attention to the subject, and were of ,apiniont that
there would be no inconvenience from the :latice as
it stood. The Company, much to their c.tedit,
bad immediately acquiesced in it, and it appeareii to
him that the objections that had been made to the clause
in Committee were made rather for the purpose of ob-
structing than facilitating the BM, but the Committee
were unanimously of opinion that it was fully aufficieitt
to carry into effect the purpose desired.
Mr. LOCKHART was opposed to the eause, of which
be said the preamble was quite at variance with the enact-
kir, part.
'Lord C. H A.NIILTON supported the clause.
Mr. BROTHERTON supported the clause. He ra-
' membered that such a provision had been approved of by
the Committee, which sat in 1837 ; and without it tbei
railway could tut be successfully prosecutor!.
Mr. L A BOUCHERE said that, cher the explanation
which tile Hon. Member for Salford had given, ho should
not oppose the proposition.
Mr. E. TENNENT thought that the House should re-
member the great principle, that railways ought not to be
allowed to interfere with the public safety. He would
oppose the clause.
Mr. ELLIOT wished to know at what rate the car-
riages of these railroads would he allowed to travel.
Lord CLAUDE HAMILTON said—Not at a greater
speed than six miles and a-half au hour over a public road.
Mr. D ENNISTOUN did not think that the public were
sufficiently protected by the adoption of the mode pointed
out by the present Bill. He thought if ilia promoters of
the Bill would adopt the suggestion of the Right. Gentle-
ma„ at the bead of the Board of Trade, and allow the Billi
to be recommitted, he was sure that would be done which
would he sati,factory to the Railway Company, and would
insure the security of the public.
Lord G. SOMERSET thought that a general rule
ought to be laid down that the railway should
be allotted to pass a public road upon a level.
He thought that this Company, which came to the
House fur extensive powers, ought to be compelled to
adopt the regulations of the House, and strictly abide by
them.

Sir G. CLERK said that his only object in the state-
ment he had, made was to secure the benefit of the public,
and if the House thought that that would be insured by the
recommittal of the Bill, he should gladly assent to it,
ins.ead of calling upon the House to allow the clause he
had proposed to be brought up. He would therefore
withdraw the clause, and allow the Bill to be recommitted.
Mr. JONES thought it would be a great hardship on
the promoters of the measure to have the Bill recommitted.
Strangers w ere then ordered to withdraw, and the House
divided, when there appear

ST. ALBAN'S ELECTION COMMITTEE.
Mr. BL ACK SI ONE rose and said that, as his mo-
tion was one of privilege, he ought to have precedence.—
(Cries of " Chair, chair.")
-
The SPEAKER said that in the proceedings of Else-
tion Committees, the practice of the House bad been to
take motions at five o'clock.
Mr. BL ACKST ONE said they had all been extremely
indebted to the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Tarn..
worth, fur the great zeal which he had shown in endeavour..
log to remedy the abuses which attended those proceed-
ings ; but he was bound to say that the Bill of
the Right Honourable Baronet had not removed all
the evil of the old systems. lie had, for this reason, been
anxious that the evidence produced before the Committee
on the St. Alban's election should be placed in tho hands
of the Members of this House. Ile did not wish to cast a
siogle reflection upon the Mentbers of that Committee; but
undoubtedly it bad been asserted that the Committee
had thrown obstacles in the way of obtaining evi-
dence of blibery and corruption. He was extremely
anxious as an individual to see the evidence
laid before tl e House that the House might know upon
what grounds the Committee had come to their decision.
It could not be denied that bribery and corruption had ens
isted in the late election in the borough of St. Alban's to
