GRAND JURIES.

Mr. FORSTER wished to ask the Hon. Baronet the
Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether
his attention had been drawn to a presentment by the
grand jury to the Judges presiding at the Central
Criminal Court on the 18th instant, for the abolition of
grand juries within the limits of the stipendiary magis-
trates of the metropolis; and whether it is the intention
of the Government to take any steps to remove the evils
complained of in the said presentment.
Sir G. GREY replied that his attention had not been
specially drawn to the presentment of the Grand Jury
to the Judges presiding at the last session of the Central
Criminal Court, no copy of the report having reached
him in his official capacity. The Hon. Gentleman had,
however, favoured him with a copy of the presentment
cut from one of the newspapers. No measure was in con-
templation by the Government for the alteration of the
present system ; but he was ready to admit that
-the system of Grgnd Juries was susceptible of
improvement. In making this statement, however, he
did not wish it to be taken as a pledge that he would
introduce any measure on the subject.
IRELAND.
Captain HARRIS wished to ask the Hon. Gentle-
man the Secretary of State for the Home Department,
whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government
to avail themselves of the large military force now in
Ireland, and by introducing a measure for the search
and seizure of pikes, to provide for the secu-
rity of that part of the United Kingdom.
He asked the question, because he believed that if the
Government took a decided step in the matter that loss
of life would be prevented, and energy given to the trade
of the country.
Sir G. GREY reminded the Hon. Gentleman that by
the Bill passed in the early part of the session for the
suppression of crime and outrage in Ireland, that the
Lord Lieutenant was empowered to apply its provisions
to any part of Ireland which he might think fit, in
which case the proper authorities would have the power
of seizing arms. It was nut the intention of the Go-
vernment to propose any further measures with respect
to the security of that country.
After some further discussion, it was agreed that the
House at its rising should adjourn to Monday.

Sir J. TYRRELL moved for returns of the name of
