POOR OF IRELAND.

Mr. HODGE S gave notice that early next Session he would
call the attention of the House to the state of the Poor in
Ireland.

Mr. SINCLAIR moved for certain returns, th e nature of
which was not heard in the gallery.
SCOTCH JUDGES' SALARIES.

Mr. SINCL AIR wished to know, although it was now too
late in the session to think of bringing in any measure
on the subject of the salaries of the Scotch Judges during the
present sittings, if the Noble Lord intended to introduce any
Bill on that question.
Lord A L THORP said it would certainly not be right to
attempt to bring in any Bill at this late period of the Session
on that subject ; but that he thought it was a subject which
ought and would call for the very early attention of Govern-
ment when Parliament next met.

Mr. WALLACE said he had a petition to present next
Monday, on the presentation of which he would avail himself
of the opportunity of bringing forward the subject of the salaries
of the Scotch Judges.
.BEER .BILL.

Mr. AGLIONBY presented a petition from the inhabitants
of Stockport against any alterations in the Beer Bill.
CHOLERA. IN IRELAND.

Mr. RUTH VEN wished, before the House resolved
itself into a Committee upon the Irish Tithe Bill,
to call the attention of the Right Hon. Secretary for Ireland
to the reports that he (Mr. R.) had received of the dreadful
sufferings of the poor in Dublin from the cholera. There
were many persons there, as it was well known,
too poor to procure the necessaries of life, even in a state of
health and under ordinary circumstances, but how much more
miserable was their condition rendered at present by the
severe visitation of cholera there. An Hon. Member near to
him (Mr. Ruthven) said there was not more cholera in Dublin
than in London ; but be that as it might, it did
not lessen the sufferings of the poor of Dublin. He (Mr. R.)
did not wish to suggest to the Right Hon. Secretary the
propriety of a renewal of hospitals in Dublin for cholera
patients—( Hear, hear)—they had been very expensive,
and he did not know that they had been so productive of benefit
as might have been expected, but still it might probably be
desirable that some institutions for the succour and assistance
of the poor that might be afflicted with this disease should be
allotted for them. His principal object in rising was to ex-
press a hope that the Right Hon. Gentleman opposite would
give his attention to the subject.
Mr. LITTLETON said he would make inquiry into the
subject, but he was not aware that any communications had
yet been received upon it.
SMALL TENEMENTS RATING BILL.

Mr. AGLIONBY wished to call the attention of the At-
torney-General to this Bill. He (Mr. Aglionby) had put it off,
from time to time, for the convenience of the house, and
also because he felt his own inability to carry it through the
House. He hoped that during the recess the Hon. and
Learned Member would direct his attention to the Bill, with
the view of supporting it.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he would give every
possible attention to this Bill during the recess. He knew
no man more capable of conducting this Bill through the
House than the Hon. and Learned Member (Mr. Aglionby).
