cessary expenditure, and he trusted that a different sys
tern would be adopted under Sir B. Hall's management.
The committee proved that at Paris the ambassador's
butler supplied the fuel, and Mr. Albano, the architect,
found the greatest difficulty in dealing with that domes-
tic. Representations were made to the ambassador,
and it resulted in the dismissal of the butler. These
and similar circumstances connected with the embassy
at Paris detained Mr. Albano in that capital 530 days,
of course at an enormous expense. Since 1815 the
house had been asked for 127,5031. for this embassy
house at Paris, and he confessed that to him the whole
affair appeared a mystery. Having expended all this
money, Mr. Albano stated that 20,0001. bad not put the
embassy house in repair. The timber was rotten, there
was not a window or a door that would shut well, be-
cause the frames were rotten, and the floors were line.
cure. This was a lesson to the tlovernment not to pur-
chase embassy houses on the continent. During the last
few 3 ears 1,6001. bad been paid for the decoration of the
chapel in the embassy house. People went into the chapel
twice every Sunday, and that tended very much to the
destruction of the furniture. Bishop Luscombe, a short
time before be died, offered a very excellent chapel for an
annuity. If that had been accepted the Government
would have got it for one year's annuity, but of course
the Government could not foresee that the good
bishop' would die within a year afterwards. The next
portion of the vote was for the embassy house at Mad-
rid, on which 5741. had been expended, while the archi-
tect's expenses were 7561. And the description the ar-
chitect gave of it was somewhat entertaining. He said
that it was in a very bad state—that it was half built
of mud, and that if her Majesty were to send an am-
bassador with a family,.v.there would be no room for
him.
Mr. STAFFORD vindicated Sir William Molesworth
from some attacks which had been made upon him in
the course of a previous discussion in reference to this
matter.
Sir. B. HALL said there was n very bad system in
the ofE„u when he went there, but Sir William Moles-
worth was not to blame for it. He had endeavoured to
put a stop to the ill-arrangements which had hitherto
prevailed. With regard to the estimates they would
henceforth be presented in a different form.
Mr. HENLEY said it was quite clear from the re-
port which had been made by the committee that there
was an improvement in the office over which Sir B. Hall
presided. He had not gathered from the right hon.
baronet what was likely to be the prospect for the future
as to this house in Paris. No one seemed to be respon-
sible, and if the whole embassy were to walk away there
would be no one responsible. From the report of the
committee it would appear that no tradesmen in Paris
were to be trusted, and that a wholesale system of swind-
ling :reeled on there. Private persons who visited
Paris had never ueen ..2,:j^-.ted to the difficulties which
seemed to have fallen upon our oWzi,l men.

vided as far as possible. The better course ~,i, ld ~; ,
have no permanent staff than was absol . - y ". a- Z
sary, and that, in the case of another embodiment of
militia, the best men should be taken and made ser-
jeants. The Government were disposed to act with the
greatest liberality, and duly appreciated the devotion to
the public service of those who had been called upon to .
act during the war. (Hear.)
Mr. W. WILLIAMS said the noble lord could not
satisfy the militia colonels with a due. regard to the
pockets of the people and he wished for some explana-
tion of the present vote, in connection with the vote of
1,000,0001. already granted!,
Mr. PEEL said the estimMes had been submitted to,
and approved of by, a committee of the house. They
provided for the training of 20 regiments of militia which
had not been embodied at all.
Col. DUNNE did not at all approve of the estimates,
and objected to the lavish expenditt'sre on the militia.
It was too much to pay 280,0001. for a staff that was in
reality good for nothing but dealing tbe arms. Daring
the last 40 years nearly 11,000,0001. had teen spent use-
lessly on the militia force. He did not see theadvantage
of calling out the 20 regiments to which the hon. gen-
tleman ' ' -.-
(Mr. Peel) had alluded. And then why were tilt
the Foreign Legions to be disbanded ? All these' .things
were in utter confusion, and he trusted the &lands; re-
formers would endeavour to redress the abuses telrlch
now existed.
The vote was then agreed to, and the chairman vii 43
ordered to report progress. The house then resumed.

Sir B. HALL said that as soon as the sessioc w,:s over
he should send one of his officers to ascertain what was
necessary to be done to the house, and to make a report.
There would be no expense to the country except his
travelling expenses to and fro. He would not have any
interest beyond the performance of his duty.
Mr. WILLIAMS thought the architect's expenses in
the case of the house at Madrid were enormous, and he
trusted the house would never again hear of such a dis-
graceful and discreditable vote.
Admiral WALCOTT thought the committee did not
look the architect's expenses full in the face. He believed
they had been the means of saving money instead of
incurring a loss.
The vote was agreed to.
On the vote of 8271. for the maintenance of British
and Foreign cemeteries at Madrid,
Mr. WISE thought that sending Mr. Albano to Mad-
rid t) build a wall round the cemetery and a little lodge
was absurd. Mr. Alba, o did not perform his duty when
he went to Madrid in reference to the embassy ; but
went especially on the business of the cemetery. Our
Government had consuls there, and if consuls could be
entrusted with the enlistment of troops they could cer-
tainly be entrusted with the duty of erecting a wall
round a cemetery.
The vote was agreed to.
On the vote of 228,9501. for defraying the expenses of
the disembodied militia,
Col. NORTH raid that while labouring men in fustian
jackets received 3s. or 3s. 6d. a day, they were now call-
ing upon serjeant•majors, who were only second below
c anmissioned officers, to serve for the miserable pittance
of ls. 10d. a day. He feared that if this system were
pursued it would be difficult to obtain such offi,lera when
their services were next required. If the men were paid
as soldiers it might bs expected that they would act as
soldiers, but they certainly would not so act upon the
miserable pittance which it was now proposed to give
them. The hon. and gallant gentleman prodeeded to
call attention to some of the grievances of the quarter-
masters and other officers. Unless the permanent staff
of regiments were kept up as true soldiers, and com-
pelled to attend parade periodically, they would never
be efficient.

WILLS AND ADMINISTRATION BILL.
The order of the day having been read for going into
committee on this bill,
Mr. HENLEY said the court to be constituted under
this bill was to possess all the powers of the Court of
Chanc3ry and the powers of the courts of law in addition.
He was anxious to see when probate was granted that
everything within the four corners of it should be dealt
with by the court. One beneficial change in the bill
since it had been originally introduced was that which
related to country districts. (Hear.) It was impossible
at so late an hour to go into the bill with any advantage,
and it was impossible to deal with the matter satiafac-
torily until the question of the court of appeal should be
settled in such a way that the suitors could reach it
without incurring a ruinous expense. He trusted the
house would postpone the committee until Monday,
when the question of the appellatejurisdition would be
considered. It would be much better to settle that
question first, and he therefore moved that the house re-
solve itself into committee on Tueidey •next. •
Mr. COLLIER suggested that it would be desirable
to proceed with the bill, reserving the points relative to
the Appellate Jurisdiction Bill. •
Mr. M. CHAMBERS felt satisfied there had not
been time given for hon. members to read this bill, which
was male up of three distinct bills. It would be impos-
sible to properly discuss the bill that night, and on the
whole he thought it would be b.tter to postpone the
bill till-next session.

Mr. ATHERTON hoped the house would allow the
bill to go into committee. He deplored the delay that had
occurred with reference to the bill ; but that was no rea-
son why further delay should take place. Great advan-
tage would recmlt from thole proceeding with it that
night, if it wag intended to pass the bill this session.

Mr. F. PEEL stated that the pay of the embodied
militia was the same as the army ; but in the case of the
disembodied militia the rate of pay was very properly
lower than that of the army. When the militia was em-
bodied it was under the authority of the Horse Guards,
but when in a disembodied state i, came under the con-
trol of the Secretary of State for the Home Department,
and he could not see what advantage would accrue from
its being transferred to the War Department. With
regard to quartermasters, it was the intention of the
Government that those who had been appointed should
still remain on the permanent staff of the militia. He
thought it worthy of consideration whether the sugges
tion thrown out by an hon. member with respect to the
pay of the serjeants was deserving of consideration.
Lord C. HAMILTON expressed his opinion that the
country could not obtain value in return for the money
proposed to be expended on the militia. He thought
that great disappointment would be felt by the serjeants
who had been promoted for their good service while in
the militia; in consequence of the proposal which was
made by the Government with respect to their future pay.
Colonel BUCK felt grateful for the manner in which
the services of the militia had been acknowledged and
approved of by the House of Commons. It was grati-
fying to know that the whole of the men were volun-
teers, but the very fact of their being volunteers im-
posed greater difficulties and a larger amount of trou-
ble on the officers ; as under a system of compulsion
the men were provided for the officers, while under the
voluntary system the officers were obliged to find the
men themselves. Not only had they done so, but they
had supplied large numbers of men to the regular army.
(Hear.) He felt bound, however, to enter his protest
against the jobbery and feelings of personal interest
which in several cases interfered with the management
and control of the militia regiments, and mentioned a
case of this kind in which a militia regiment bad been
called " the Second Devons," instead of the 45th or
21st, and also respecting the site selected for the artil-
lery practice, which had been arranged to suit the
convenience and interests of the lordlientenant of the
county of Devon, and into the details of which the
hon. member entered at some length. The hon. mem-
ber also called attention to the state of the fortifica-
tions at Devonport and the works there going on at
the lines, and said the only use of the works would be
to keep the poople of Plymouth out of Devonport, for
they were all on that side of the town. He trusted that
in the next session they would have some commission
appointed to inquire into the state of the defences of the
country, and report upon their condition, in order that
the house might be guided in earning to a decision on the
subject of the votes which might be submitted to the
house.

Mr. KEATING said be entertained doubts of the Go-
vernment proceeding with the bill this session, and there.
fore heconsidered no benefit would result from their going
into committee. The framers of the clauses of this bill
never inttudei the propositions of the hou. and
learned member for Plymouth with reference to county _ _
courts jurisdiction should be camel out.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he had fallen into
an errer in endetv.airing to please all parties, for he
found there was no agreement bstween any two gentle-
men on this subject. He was at a loss to know what to
do. BeAdes being assailed before and in the rear, be was
subject to the objections of the hon. baronet the mem-
ber or Carlisle, whose opinioi.s on this subject he (the
Solicitnr-General) thought he ha I embodied in the bid.
His object had been to make the subject acceptable to
all, but having as it appeared failed, he knew not how
to act. He hoped the house would therefore aquit him
of any intention to force through a bill they bad not had
time to consider. He had another enemy, " time," to
contend against, and therefore he accedi d to the request
of the member for Oxf,rdshire, to postpone it till 'rues-
day, when he hoped he should receive the assistance of
the Muse in pas-ing the bill.
Sir J. GRAHAM said the faculty of pleasing every
on 3 had not had the desired effect in this instance. He
said that a change of opinion had taken place in the
mind of the promoter of this bill, as well as in the minds
of others, which showed it was desirable then to proceed
with it, and if he had been correctly informed, he believed
it was the intention of the hon. and learned genleman
to raise the dietrict probate from 1,5001. to 2,0001., in
accordance with pledges given out of doors. Sir James
then entered into exp'anations with regard to his change
of opinion on this question, and retorted that changes as
great and more important appeared to have taken posses-
sion of the hon. and learned gentleman's mind.
Mr. MALINS appealed to the hon. and learned gen-

tleman to withdraw this measure. It contained -157
clauses, and as it was impossible properly to consider
them this session, if the bon. and learned gentleman re-
fused to withdraw it, he (Mr. Matins) should move that
the house go into committee on the till that day six
months. The members of that house and the country,
from the late period the Lill was printed, bad not yet bad
time to consider its provisions. He was of opinion the
county courts were not adapted for the transaction of this
business, and he should oppose aay bill containing such a
provision. He suggested that the bib should be with-
drawn, and the subject early next session be submitted
to a select committee to devise some general measure on
the subject.
Sir E PERRY said he considered the subject had
already been fully considered by select committees, and,
therefore, it was unnecessary to refer it to another com-
mittee, and he hoped the house would not agree to the
suggestion of the hon. and learned member for Walling.
ford. He (Sir E. Perry) approved of jurisdiction being
given in this matter to county courts, which, since their
appointment, had given universal satisfaction to the
country.
Mr. HADFIELD said that not one great measure
had been passed this session, and he asked the Govern-
ment to state whether they would give this bill, which
was of the utmost importance to the country, their
support ? It was lamentable to find that the greatest
lawyers were the greatest obstacles to this useful measure.
The further consideration of the bill was adjourned
until Tuesday.
CHURCH BUILDING COMMISSION BILL.

On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Mr. lIADFIELD objected on account of the lateness
of the hour. It was impossible for the house to give it
the consideration it required. It was unnecessary to con-
tinue and impossible to continue the 19 complicated acts
which were now in force on this subject. He moved
that the house should go into committee that day three
months.

Sir G. GREY said that the object of the bill was not
to continue the Church Building Acts as the hon. gentle-
man seemed to suppose. Those acts were permanent,
and the only purpose of the present measure was to con-
tinue the commission which was necessary for their ad-
ministration, but was only a temporary body. The bill
propcsed to transfer the powers now exercised by a corn-
mission appointed for this object alone to the Ecclesias-
tical Commissioners—a step which was recommended by
a committee of that house which had considered the sub-
ject, and which had the advantage of consolidating in
the hands of one body of commissioners the powers with
regard to the administration of Church property now
exercised by several.
The house then divided, when there were—

The house then went into committee.
The various clauses were agreed to without amend-
ment, and the bill was reported.
The house then went into committee pro forma on the
Vaccination Bill. Certain amendments were introduced,
and the house resumed.
MILITIA BALLOTS SUSPENSION BILL.
This bill passed through committee.
MAGDALEN HOSPITAL BATH BILL.

Mr. MONSELL stated that Sir J. Burgoyne had ap
proved of the lines now in course of construction at De-
vonport. He also stated that the charges to which the
hon. member had alluded had been deliberately sanc-
tioned by the Board of Ordnance and the War-office.
Col. GILPIN complained that the paymasters and
subalterns of the militia regiments had not been, as was
stated would be tha case, placed on an equal footing.
Col. NORTH said he considered the case of the cap-
tains of the militia to be the hardest of all—(a laugh)—
inasmuch as they had received no gratuity or allow-
ance whatever on the disembodiment, and there was
probably not one of the captains who would not leave the
force with a less of at least 501.
Mr. COWAN called attention to the condition of the
adjutants, and thought theirs an exceedingly bard case—
(a laugh) —and he trn-ted that their complaints would
receive the attention of the Government. He wished to
know what course the Government intended to adopt re.
speeting the mode of billeting the militia in Scotland.
Sir W. JOLLIFFE thought that it would be much
better to have the staff placed upon such a footing as to
be entirely independent of their ordinary trade, and be
kept ready at any time for the service of the country.
Sir J Y. BULLER said that the lines now in course
of erection at Devonport were the most absurd that were
perhaps ever constructed, and they were discontinued
many years since by order of the Duke of Wellington,
and had only been recommenced within the last two
years. He impressed upon the Government the ne-
cessity of getting rid as far as they could of the pre-
sent system of billeting, though he did not think it
possible that the present system could be entirely
abandoned. By sending the young soldier to the pub-
lic-house habits of immorality were contracted, which
were most injurious both to the individual and to the
efficiency of the service. He also called attention to
the cases of the paymasters, adjutants, and captains of
the force under the present arrangements for the disem-
bodied militia.
Lord PALMERSTON said thatthe Goverment were
fully sensible of the value of the services of the militia,
awl were actuated by a desire to deal with them in the
spirit of fairness and liberality. He explained that the
case of the paymasters was not really so hard as had been
stated by honourable gentlemen. With respect to the
lines at Plymouth, a large extent of defence had been
for a great length of time marked out, and had not yet
been completed. Latterly
the subject bad undergone
great consideration, and the t had decided
that the whole line of the defences should be made good,
and he was far from thinking that they would be so un-
serviceable as hon. members had stated. With respect
co billeting the troop, there were only two other modes
of providing lodging if billeting were to be superseded,
either by barracks or by encampment. There were great
difficulties and great expenses in the way of providing
