IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
(I HIS EVENING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at
Five o'clock.

WRECK AND SALVAGE BILL.

This Bill was read a second time and ordered to be com-
mitted.

DEATH BY ACCIDENTS COMPENSATION BILL.

Lord CAMPBELL said, accAding to notice, he had to
draw their Lordships' attention to a most important subject.
The Bill which awarded compensation in the case of accidents
had come up from the Commons with some amendments.
Last session a Bill of the same kind was introduced
into their Lordship? House, and though unanimously
passed by them the Commons had thrown it out. This
session it was again introduced, and on this occasion they
had passed it but with amendments. As they framed the
Bill the compensation was to go to the next of kin; a provision
which was common in law. The Commons, however, had
provided especially that it should be divided among the
members of the family, extending to grandfather and grand.
mother, stepson, stepfather and stepmother. He had no great
objection to that amendment, and he would advise
their Lordships to agree to it.—( Hear.) Another
amendment was, perhaps, more questionable. Their
Lordships had provided that the compensation should be in pro-
portion to the suffering person's property, but the Corn-
mons had introduced an amendment to the effect,
that the jury should divide the money they
might award among the family according to their
wants and necessities. He would have preferred that a
merely general rule had been laid down. This syste t, had
existed in Scotland, and been found to work well; and he
would advise their Lordships to accept the amendments.
He said after what had been stated in certain quarters of
the Bill, he felt it necessary to add that it had been introduced
only after the most painful consideration by the present Noble
and Learned Lord now on the Woolsack, the late. Lord Chan-
cellor, Lord Denman, and by himself. The greatest care had been
taken in the preparation of the Bill.
The amendments were then agreed to.
NAVAL AND MILITARY DEPARTMENTS BILL.
This Bill was read a second time.
EJECTMENTS ( IRELAND) BILL.
The Earl of CLARENDON moved that this Bill should
be read a second time.

Lord CAMPBELL said that this Bill carried into effect the
recommendation of the Earl of Devon's Commi,sion. The
most important enactment of the Bill was one which
was recommended by the Earl of Devon, and which
prevented the distraint of growing crops. By the
common law of England and Ireland, no growing
crops could be distrained, but in 1816 the law was introduced
into Ireland, and since that time had been found to be a very
erious •1 mischief.

Lord ELLENBOURGH said, that he understood this Bill
was not yet printed, and to move the second reading before it
was printed was out of the usual practice of the House.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said, that as it was the
intention of the House only to adjourn until to-morrow. The
Bill might be printed by that time.
The Earl of WICKLOW said that as he could not be there
to morrow, their Lordships would perhaps permit him to say a
few word. upon the Bill at once. Ha thought that any inter-
feren.e with the present lass in Ireland would occasion much
inconvenience. If it made any alteration in the law to be ap-
plied to one country more than another he should enter his protest
against it, for he thought that any law applied to one country
ought to be applied to the other.
The Income-tax Deduction Bill was then read a second time.
PUBLIC WORKS AND FISHEUIES (IRELAND) BILL.
On the motion of the Earl of CLARENDON, the Bill went
through Committee.:
DRAINAGE OF LANDS (IRELAND) BILL.
On the motion of the same NOBLE EARL., this Bill also went
through Committee.
After as. explanation by Earl GREY, that there had been a
few amendments in the clauses, which he stated were
for the improvement of the Bill. In this opinion the Earl
of Ellenborough and Lord Monteagle concurred, the
latter stating, however, that he feared that the Bill, as now
framed, was inapplicable to the state of Ireland. From the
subinfeudation which took place there, that country was in a
very different position from England, and that which was per-
fectly applicable to this country was quite useless for that
cuuntr!, and he would say, therefore, let the Bill pass as a
matter of couase, and then improve it in the course of next
session.

The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said that nothing could be
more true than that which had been asserted by his Noble
Friend, that the great number of consents which would have to
be obtained would throw great impediments in the way of the
working of this Bill, but in the few days which remained of
the present session it was impossible to phrase it otherwise than
as it was, but he might rest assured that his suggestions should be
taken into careful consideration before the beginning of the
next year, and so as to render it effective for the prevention of
distress in Ireland.

Earl GREY, in reply, stated that he did nut exactly see
what was the purport of his Noble Friend's suggestions,
unless it was that !Le Government should take the whole of
the t-ainage of lands into its own hands, when the landowners
dissented.
The Bill then went through Committee.
PUBLIC (MKS (IRELAND) BILL.
COUNTY WORKS PRESENTMENTS (IRELAND).

HOUSE OF COMMONS OFFICES'BILL.
