HOUSE OF COMMONS.

RIOT IN KILKENNY.
Mr. GEORGE HAMILTON wished to ask the Chief
Secretary for Ireland whether the attention of Govern-
ment has been directed to attempts recently made in
Kilkenay to intimidate and hold up to odium
certain individuals for having exercised their
right to petition Parliament respecting the Papal aggres-
sion ; whether any inquiry has been made by direction
of Government respecting the riots and outrages com-
mitted on the 26th day of May, against the persons who
signed petitions to Parliament on that subject, and
whether any steps have been taken to bring the offenders
to trial?
Sir W. SOMERVILLE said police reports had
been received giving an account of the outrage alluded to
by his Hon. Friend. It appeared that, on the 26th of
May, the windows of several of the inhabitants of Kil-
kenny who had signed the petition were broken. One
account stated that the mob consisted of as many as 400
persons, but others represented it to be composed of
merely boy 3 and girls. The outrage was premeditated,
and so suciden and simultaneous was the attack made
that great difficulty was found in identifying the leaders,
but two of them had been arrested, and held to bail to
appear at the next sessions.

THE RIVER BLACK WATER.
Mr. ANSTEY rose to ask the First Lord of the Ad-
miralty, whether any and what measures have been taken
or contemplated by Government for the purpose of
carrying into effect the suggestions in Captain Frazer's
report on:ithe weirs and other illegal obstructions to
the fishery and navigation of the River Blackwater.
Sir F. BARING said that be could ❑ot say what
measures had b-en:taken; all persons, however, had per-
fect power to take any legal measures which they
thought fit, and he thought it was better that parties
should be left to their own judgment as to their remedy
in such cases.

BOARD OF HEALTH.
Mr. W. WILLIANIS wished to know what measures
had been taken with regard to the appointment of a
New Board of Health.
Sir G. GREY could not give any information on the
subject.

WOODS AND FORESTS.

Lord SEYMOUR said that he would state on Mon
day when the Woods and Forests Bill would be pro.
ceeded with.

the Commissioners are determined to discountenance the
conversion of workhouses into manufactories? And whe-
ther the Commissioners have sufficient power, under the
existing law, to prevent such use of the workhouses?
Sir W. SOMERVILLE said, the attention of the
Poo-law Commissioners had been called to this subject,
but they could not consent to put an end altogether to
industrial employment in union workhouses, fur if they
di they would be acting contrary to the 14th
article of the General Workhouse Revision Act;
but the Commissioners would not permit any
dealings with master manufacturers.—(Hear, hear.)
