ABLE BODIED PAUPERS.

Mr, KEKEWICH asked the President of the Poor Law
Board whether he was of opinion that a very erroneous
impression existed as to the number of able-bodied paupers
receiving indoor and outdoor relief, on account of want of
work and destitution ; and, if so, whether it was not
caused by the mode in which the returns are made to the
Poor Law Board.

Mr. GOSCHEN said he was of opinion that an erroneous
impression was conveyed by the present form of returns,
and he proposed to have alterations made to set out more
clearly the exact number of able-bodied paupers receiving
out relief.
THE NAVY.

Sir GEORGE GREY asked the First Lord of the Treasury
whether it was true that Admiral Sir A. Spencer
Robinson had resigned the office of Comptroller of the
Navy; and if so, on what grounds.
Mr. GLADSTONE said he was happy to say that it was
not true that Sir S. Robinson had resigned the office of
Controller of the Navy. Sir Spencer Robinson
had been informed, both publicly and privately,
but the effect of the Order in Council was
in no way intended to lower him in the eyes of the
navy, and he (Mr. Gladstone) said the First Lord oh
the Admiralty had expressed to the gallant officer the
great desire there was for his continuing in the office he
at:preseut held with such benefit to the public. Sir S.
Robinson sill held, and he hoped would still hold for a
long time that office which he now filled with such
advantage to the State.
Sir J. PAKINGTON asked whether it was true that the
chief constructor of the navy had resigned.
Mr. GLADSTONE had no reason to expect such a step
from Mr. Reed. No comMunication with regard to such
a step had been received.
