FACTORY BILL.

Mr. M. GIBSON, seeing the Right Hon. Gentleman
the Secretary of State for the Home Department in his
place, wished to put to him u question concerning the
operation of the Factory Bill. Several convictions had
lately taken place under the Act, in which the construc-
tion of the statute had been disputed. In some cases
where a young person or a female had been found in a
factory, it was at once presumed that he had been there
from the time of opening the factory, and although he
might not have been there icr more than an hour, he
was taken to have been at work over the ten hours, and
the master was made liable to conviction. Now, if the
construction of the Act were capable of bearing an in-
terpretation to justify a conviction under the absurd cir-
cumstances, it was most desirable that it should be re-
considered and amended.
Sir G. GREY said he was aware of the point to which
the Hon. Gentleman had alluded, and that he should
give it bis best consideration. There were also some
other doubtful points that had arisen under the Act, but
they were iu no way connected with the class of cases
which the lion. Member had mentioned.
CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS BILL.
On the motion that the order of the dey be read tor
going into Committee on the Corrupt Practices at Elec-
tions Bill,
Sir DE LACY EVANS called the attention of the
Noble Lord at the head of the Government to the im-
perfect state of the law respecting treating at elections.
He had been on the Committee appointed to inquire into
the validity of the return of the Hon. Member for North
Cheshire, and although numerous cases of treating were
brought before the Committee, still none of them were
proved against either the sitting Member or his agents,
and the Committee were unable to act. He thought in
the cases of boroughs that the law had been pressed with
considerable severity on this point, and he believed if it
were so stringently pressed in county elections, that
there were few county Members ;that would be able to
retain their seats in that House. Ile should be glad to
know from the Noble Lurd what the state of the law
really was in such a state of things, and whether such
cases as he had described were ut a character to dis-
qualify the sitting Member.
Lord J. RUSSELL xplained, that where cases of
corrupt treating were not brought home to a sitting
Member or his agents, the law was not intended to
operate to his prejudice. There were some cases which
could hardly ha said to constitute treating ; but where
treating was openly and systematically carried ou by the
issue of tickets for voters, it was quite clear that the
law, as proposed 1:0w, was the same as it had always
been, and that it would be operative against the Mem-
ber in whose behalf such a state of things might be
proved. It was quite certain that the law should be
wade to operate strictly where corruption, through the
medium of treating, was proved to the satisfaction of a
Committee.
Lord COURTENAY considered that the notice of
the House ought to be especially directed to the ques-
tion of refreshments. The extent to which the system
went was such that the Corwin tee who sat upon the
election more immediately under consideration felt that
they would ;not be discharging their duty if they failed
to bring the matter before the !louse, He, therefore,
moved that the evidence be printed that it might be
formally brought under the notice of the House.
Mr. *VERNON SMITH said he believed it was very
well understood that in every case where an election was
about to take place, a candidate-vsas called upon, and
asked what he meant to expend on the contest, and it
was expected that he would at least keep to his engage-
ment in that respect, and if not prepared to do so be
would have very little chance of his seat. He thought,
in some particular cases, refreshments ought to be given,
and, as long as hospitality existed in this country, he
hoped it would be so. He thought that he could not
deny to the constituent in a county what he gave to the
poatboy, and he thought that the Noble Lord ought to
lay down the law distinc ly as to what was and what was
not bribery.
Mr. STUART WORTLEY admitted that the Noble
Lord had clearly stated what the law was—to give to a
poor voter, who came from adistance to the pull, necessary
refreshment, ought not, undoubtedly, to be regarded as
bribery.
Mr. BRIGHT said if he understood. the HAI. Mem-
ber (Mr. Vernon Smith) rightly, the Hon. Member said
that there might be treating without corrupt voting.
The Noble Lord had stated that there were 2,000 cases
where corrupt votes were proved in this way. If he
octriae were to be allowed that hosp.talities were to be
exercised towards voters, it would throw the counties
into the hands of the most healthy, and it was not hos-
pitality at all. Candidates did not dispense their hospi-
rgiii, in tt,at anti
laughter.) He thought that the law which was dealt out
to borough voters ought also, to be dealt out to counts
voters.---(He r.)
Colo. el SIBTIIORP would, for his part, support
Christian charity.—(Hear, and a laugh.) If a poor
voter were to call upon him, say a Reverend Gentle-
man, and he should ask him to take a glass of wine, was
that to be considered " corrupt treating?"—(Laughter.)
He must, however, say that he considered the Noble
Lord's Bill was a partial Bill, and if the Noble Lord had
dealt in the Bill with the county Members as he was
dealing with the borough Members, the benches would
be filled with county Members.
Mr. SPOONER believed if there had been any county
proved guilty of corrupt bribery that county would to
put into the schedule, in the same way as the boroughs.
He, therefore, thoughtl that the distinction sought to
be made as between counties and boroughs, by the Hon.
and Gallant Member (Sir De Lacy Evans), was not quite
correct.
Mr. HOBHOUSE should be glad to hear what the
opinion of the Right Hon. Baronet (the Member fur
Tamworth) was as to the law upon this subject.
Sir R. PEEL said that the Noble Lord (Lord John
Russell) had most correctly, in his opinion, stated what
the law was on the point under consideration; and what
it was, it was 150 years ago. He apprehended the law
to be that if any treating should be proved as having
taken place after the first day of the writ of summons, it
might be supposed to constitute corrupt treating; but
mere innocent treating had been allowed under the law
fur the last 150 years.
Mr. HENLEY thought that the law had been most
correctly laid down, both by the Right Hon. Gentleman
the Member for Bute and the Right llon. Baronet the
Member for Tamworth ; but according to some Hon.
Members any hospitality might be considered corrupt.
Now, what was said by the lion. Gentleman the Chair-
man of the Committee? He said that neither the sitting
Member nor his agent had been guilty of the corrupt
treating which prevailed. What, then, was the House
to do ? If a rich man met a poor voter on the road, and
took him into his carriage, would that constitute bribery?
He believed, what he had slong believed, that the
House would be driven to legislate on this subject.—
(Hear.) If, for instance, in counties where poor voters
live ten or more miles off from the place of polling, as-
sistance were riot given to them to come up, they would
be disfranchised.—(Heur.) He thought that there were
cases wherein assistance ought to bo given to the poor
voter in this way.—(Hear, hear.)
The House then resolved itself into Committee, and
the fifth clause was proposed.
Mr. HOBHOUSE saw that by this clause the Com-
missioners to be appointed under the Bill were to re-
ceive their appointments from the Judges. Now he
was anxious to record his opinion against the appoint-
ment of Commissioners by the Judges, for he thought
it most objectionable to mix the Judges up in any way
with political appointments, and that to do so was in
in opposition to the spirit of the constitution. He took
the Bill to be a Bill of pains and penalties—he took
it to be a Bill of disfranchisement—(Hear, hear)—and
that being the case, he put it to the House in what
situation would the Judges be placed. He thought that
the seat of justice should be kept not merely pure, but
" above suspicion." lie must also express his opinion
that appointments' conferred, as those were intended to
be conferred, upon the bar, would take away from the
bar its independence, and make it subservient to the
Judges. He happened to know something of the bar,
and he wished to see it independent, and, above all,
independent of the Judges. Indeed, the Judges now
on the bench, in almost all cases, obtained their ele-
vation by the distinction which they achieved in
connexion with some remarkable case, which forced
them into notice while members of the bar. He con-
sidered that the patronage, under all circumstances,
ought not to be in their hands, and that the hands
in which it ought to be were those of the First Lord of
the Treasury, who should appoint the Commissioners,
and be responsible for the appointments. It migt be
said that the Government had too much patronage; but
he was of opinion that they had not too much patronage,
and that they ought not to eschew it. The Speaker was
an impartial person, and he would rather see the appoint-
ments vested iu him than in the Judges. His own idea
would be, that the first Minister of the Crown should ac-
cept the patronage, but, as he thought he should not ob-
tain support in that proposition, he should move the
omission of the words he objected to.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that he thought
the Judges might be safely trusted with these appoint.
ments. He hoped the House would allow the Bill to pass.
Mr. HENLEY said that it was must desirable to keep
the Judges free from political imputation. It was, how-
ever, difficult to say iu whom the appointment should rest.
He thought it would be better to name parties in the
Bill, and renew them from session to session as it might
be desirable.

Mr. EIVAIIT said that ho concurred in the impro-
priety of giving these political appointments to the
Judges. lie thought the Speaker bhould have the ap-
pointment.

Colonel SIBTIIORP said he should be prepared to
give every opposition to this clause and the Bill gene-
rally.
Mr. lIUDSON objected to the remuneration allowed
by the Bill to the barristers who may be appointed, for
in his opinion they ought to have the assistance of the
best men at the bar. He objected, therefore, to give
them such power, because ho thought they were not the

! men who should be entrusted with them. He hoped also
the House would not st the appointment in the Judges,
for in his opiniun it would produce a very bad effect in
the public mind in regard to those high and learned
functionaries.
Mr. SPOONER was of opinion that it would be much
better to vest the power in the Judges, for it they were
to have the best teen at the bar to act as Commissioners
at all it was better to leave the appoictmeet to the
Judges, who had daily opportunities of witnessing the
qualifications of those who practised before them. Pro-
testing, however, against the Bill altogether on prin-
ciple he should support the clause now under the
consideration of the House, which vested the appoint-
ment in the Judges.
Mr. BERRIES, believing that no imputation could
by possibility rest on the Judges, should support the
clause as it originally stood.
After a few words from Mr. Mu'Hugs, Mr. Urquhart,
and Mr. Newdegate,
The amendment, which went to invest the power in
the Speaker, was negatived without a division.
Mr. HENLEY suggested that one barrister would
conduct the inquiry as well as two, and perhaps the
Hon. and Learned Gentleman the Solicitor-General
would consent to alter the clause to that effect.
The SOLICITOR GENERAL had no objection to
the suggestion made, and was therefore ready to adopt
it, as he believed one bat rister would conduct the inquiry
as well as two.
After a few words from Colonel SlBmom, and Mr.
MULLINGS, the clause was amended as suggested, and
agreed to.
Clause 7 was struck out of the Bill.
Clause 8 being proposed,
Mr. BOBIIOUSE wished to know why it was the
power was given to barristers to hold their courts within
ten miles of the town or borough.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said a power of ad-
journment was given to the barrister, in order to accom-
rnedate parties who may live at a distance, or to prevent
the possibility of a riot occuring while the inquiry was
going on.
Atter a few words from Colonel SIB lIIORP,
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL consented to strike
out the words, "or within ten miles of any city or bo-
rough."
Clause 8, as amended, was agreed to.
On clause 9 being proposed,
The SOLICITOR GENERAL, in reply to Mr.
Hodgson, said that the inquiry before the Commis-
sioners was to be limited to the last election for the bo-
rough, and was not to extend to previous elections.
Col. SIBTHORP suggested that the Bill should be
made applicable to all boroughs and cities, and not to be
limited to the boroughs mentioned in the schedule.
The clause was then agreed to.
On clause 10 being proposed,
Mr. HENLEY suggested that the time should be
limited within which the Commission should report to
her Majesty. This ought to be done to prevent the sus•
picion that any other head or hand had been connected
with the report than those of the Commissioners.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL consented to consider
this suggestion.
Mr. HENLEY was desirous to know whether a pro-
fessional man might be examined upon a subject having
reference to professional confidence, and also whether
the 13th clause provided that payment was to be given
to witnesses preparatory to giving their testimony.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that witnesses
would be entitled to their expenses in the same manner
that witnesses were when summoned before a superior
court ; and, with regard to the other question, he con-
sidered that professional confidence must not be expected,
as the solicitor would be bound to answer any question
which his client (the Member) would put.
Mr. HENLEY thought that the indemnity ought to
be extended to the agent as well as to the Member.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the Member
was not to be examined, and this constituted the diffi-
culty.
Mr. HUDSON was desirous to know whether the
documents produced in court were to be made public.
If so, he apprehended that the course would prove
ruinous to many persons.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the Com-
missioners would exercise their discretion, and make
such extracts from documents as they might consider
necessary.
Colonel SIBTIIORP was desirous to know, in the
event of a Commissioner exceeding his authority, what
penalty would he be subjected to ? If the Com-
missioner should deal with him in an improper
manner be would take him by " the scruff of his neck.,"
and kick him out of doors.—(Laughter.) He (Colonel
Sibthorpc) thought that many instances of undue
authority would be exercised under this most tyrannical
and oppressive Bill.
The clause, as amended, was ordered to stand part of
the Bill.
Clauses up to 14 were agreed to.
On clause 15 being proposed,
Mr. HORNBY proposed that it be omitted, on the
ground that it had a tendency to encourage informers of
that description.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL supported it, and after
some conversation,
The Committee divided, when there appeared—
For the clause ll7
Against it
Majority --98
The clause, as amended, was agreed to, and ordered
to stand part of the Bill.
The other clauses were disposed of.
On the motion that the schedule be agreed to,
Mr. HODGSON moved to exclude Carlisle from the
schedule.
Mr. P !TOWARD said that the greater portion of the
respectable inhabitants of Carlisle were in favour of a
searching inquiry into the practices which had taken
place at the last election for that borough.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL cited the report of the
El. ction Committee on the Carlisle petition in justifica-
tion of including Carlisle in the schedule.
After a few words from Mr. Berkeley, Mr. Hodgson,
Mr. Haywood, Mr. Hildyard, Colonel Sibthorp, Mr.
Bouverie, Mr. Hudson, and Mr. Wyld, each in defence
of his own particular borough,
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL proposed to pat three
or four other boroughs into the Bill, including Bodmin.
Mr. HILDYARD said that he did not think it fair in
the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to propose the inser-
tion of those boroughs, and particularly the borough of
Bodmin, without first giving due notice.
Mr. ARMSTRONG said ho was a rare instance of a
Member whose return had been petitioned against, with-
out cause, but let " bygones be bygones."—(Laughter.)
After a few words from Sir E. COLEBROOKE,
Mr. WYLD said that the Solicitor-General had al-
luded to the borough of Bodmin, as a borough that he
intended to place in the Bill. Now, he must say, than
the borough of Bodmin there was not a more pure
borough. He' had no objection, he might add, to the
borough being inserted in the schedule, but he had very
strung objections to its being placed in such bad com-
pany as the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was disposed
to put it in.—(Laughter.)
Mr. HUDSON expressed a hope that a Bill would be
brought in the next year for the counties.—(Laughter.)
Dr. BOWRING defended Bolton from the charge of
corruption, and said if there had been any practised in
it, or if there had been any bribery in treating, he would
be the first to move for its disfranchisement.
Sir ROBERT PRICE said the question before the
House was, whether the borough of Carlisle stand part
of the Bill.
Mr. HODGSON said he would withdraw his motion,
and the borough of Carlisle was then ordered to stand
part of the Bill.
The CHAIRMAN then reported progress, and obtained
leave to sit again on Monday next.
SUPPLY.
The House having resumed,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved a
Committee of Supply fur the purpose of obtaining a vote
for the British Museum. He believed there would be no
objection whatever to that vote.
Colonel SIBTHORP wished to know when the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer meant to make his financial
statement?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he
would make a statement when the votes of supply should
be taken.
The House having then resolved into a Committee of
Supply,
Sir R. PEEL rose to move a rote for the service of
the British Museum. The Right Hon. Baronet said he
believed he would best consult the convenience and
wishes of the House by abstaining from any detailed
observations with reference to the British Museum
estimates. In point of fact, the fullest information was
given on the subject in the report which had already
been laid before the House. The original estimate had
been 53,0001., but the trustees of the Museum had-,
revised that estimate, and had effected a saving
in the present year to the extent of 5,0001. The esti-
mate, therefore, was 48,0001., of which 20,0001. had al-
ready been granted on account; so that he had then only
to move for a sum of 28,445/. He was sure that the
House would allow him to take that opportunity of re-
ferring for a moment to the magnificent bequest made to
the Museum by the late Mr. Grenville. That gentleman
having collected one of the finest libraries which had
ever been possessed by a private individual, had during
his lifetime liberally thrown it open to men of literature
and science, and had at his death made it over to the
public. The library consisted of no less than 20,000
volumes, which had cost Mr. Grenville 54,0001. But its
value could not be estimated by the mere number of the
volumes, and their pecuniary worth. The collection was
one of the most extraordinary ever known, in respect of
the rarity and the importance of the books. Ho was
glad that he had been allowed that opportunity of re-
cording his gratitude—and the gratitude, he felt sure, of
the House and the country—for the bequest of Mr.
Grenville, as well as his respect for the memory of that
most distinguished statesman and friend of literature
and science.—(Hear.) In conclusion, he had to move
that a sum of 28,4451. be granted, to defray the expenses
of the British Museum.
An HON. MEMBER asked what progress had been
made by the Commission appointed to inquire into the
state of the Museum ?
The LORD-ADVOCATE said the Commission had
collected a good deal of evidence on the subject of their
inquiries ; but he believed there was no chance of their
being able to present their report this year.
Dr. BOWRING wished to know what progress had
been made in the completion of the new catalogue of the
works in the Museum?
The LOR D-ADVOCATE said that the completion
of the new catalogue would be proceeded with as ra-
pidly as possible. But he should observe, that by means
of the existing catalogue every book in the Museum was
at present easily accessible to the public.
The vote was then agreed to, and the House resumed.
The Turnpike Roads (Ireland) Bill passed through
Committee, and was ordered to be reported on Monday
next.
On the motion of Mr. HAWES, the Canada Govern-

went 13E1 was read a second time, and ordered to be
oniFnittrd on Monday.-
The Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers Bill was
read a second time, and ordered to be committed 00
Thnrday.
The Militia Ballot Suspension Bill passed through
Committee.

Leave was given to bring in a Bill to prohibit the irn-
portaticn of cattle when they were suspected of betrg
infected.

On the motion that the Farmers' Estate society (Le-
land) Bill be read a third time,
Colonel DUNNE opposed the motion. .
After a short conversation,
Colonel DUNNE moved that the Bill be read a 'third
time on Monday next.
Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, but no dili-
3ion subsequently took place.
The Bill was then read a third time.

Mr. STAFFORD brought up the following ciause:•—
~ That in case any tenant shall be in the occupation of
any land purchased by the company at the time of such
occupation by the company fur the purpose of carrying
this Act into execution, every such tenant shall bu en-
titled to such compensation as he would by law be now
entitled to receive, in case the company were a railway
company requiring possession of his land : provided
always, that in nu case shall any tenant evicted for non-
pa) meut of rent, or fur the breach of non• performance
of any covenant or agreement, or for any waste or in•
jury done to the land or any tenement thereon, be en-
titled to receive any compensation whatsoever from :he
company.'
Colonel DUNNE moved a verbal amendment to :he
clause, but subsequently withdrew it, and opposed :he
clause itself.

Mr. BRIGIIT was disposed to move the postpone-
ment of the question that the Bill do pass until they
were informed whether, the law officers had examitmd
the Bit!.

Mr. MONSELL said the promoters of the Bill bed
consulted the Attorney-General and the Solicitor-Gene-
ral for Ireland on the subject.
Colonel THOMPSON believed the real gist: of the
Bill to be against small tenants. It went to take awaY
the property of the poor, and was nothing, in his ()pi'
nion, but the other side of Communism.

Mr. REYNOLDS approved of the principle of the
Bill, but objtcted to some of its details, purticulsrlY
that part of them which prohibited the company selling
a smaller quantity of land than 30 acres.
A division then took place, when there appeared—
Fur the clause 39
Against it l3
Majority

On the motion of Mr. PARKER it was agreed that
the House should, at its rising, adjourn to Monday next-
SUGAR DUTIES BILL.
Upon bringing up the report on this Bill,
Lord G. BENTINCE: remarked that the calculations
in this Bill were wrong, even on the basis of the Icon.
Member for Westbury. Both the Hon. Gentleman and
the Chancellor of the Exchequer would be laughed st in
the City for their mistakes. There was not a clerk in
the City who would not, after such a Bill as this, think
he was fitted to be Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The report was then brought up.
Lord G. BENTINca gave notice that he would troll
that British refiners be allowed to refine in bond.

The report was agreed to, and the Bill was ordered to
be read a third time on Monday.
The other orders of the day were then agreed to, and
the House adjourned at Two o'clock.

it had defied the skill of several practitioners botll to
England and the colony. At last, recourse was hal i°
Holloway's Ointment and Pills and by their efficacy th.
leg has been perfectly healed, presenting scarcely the
trace of a wound. This case has excited so much sett)"
nishment in the colony that the agent for South AO'
tralia has published it in the Adelaide Observer of the
