On clause 31,
Lord LYTTLETON moved the omission of all the
words that went to the alteration or modification of the
Lady Sadler or Mr. Wort's trusts.
The committee divided on the question that the words
proposed to be left out stand part of the question.
Content 26

The words were accordingly struck out.
On clause 32
Lord LYNDHURST moved the restoration of all the
words which had been struck out on the third reading of
the bill in the House of Cammone, excluding Dissenters
from seats in the senate of the university. He said that
the change which had been made in the House of Com-
mons would, if allowed to remain, have an important in-
fluence ou the religion of the country, and implored their
lordships to vote the restoration of the words which had
been struck out. Their lordships should recollect that
the words were struck out by a small majority and in a
thin house ; indeed, he believed that the division was
altogether a surprise. The Government itself had been
taken by surprise. With respect to the question itself,
he would trouble the house by reading a few observe-
tiara which had been Riede in the other house. An hon.
member said, " The effect of the amendment will be to
confer on Dissenters who taleethehigher degrees the right
to interfere in the affairs of the university, and to vote for
members of Parliament ; and I fear it will mar the use-
fulness of the bill by exciting, a feeling of alarm in the
minds of those whose co-operation is necessary for the suc-
cess of the measure. It is not to be doubted that there is a
strong and intimate connection between the Church of
England and the universities, and a proposal to allow
dissenters to interfere in fixing the theological studies
will excite alarm. The amendment will therefore tend
to impair the usefulness of the university." He (Lord
Lyndhurst) concurred entirely with these observations,
which were ascribed to a member of the Government—
he believed the gentleman who in the other House of
Parliament had the conduct of the hill—and he inferred
from them that the Government was hostile to the
change. Taking these words in connection with the fact
that the Government was taken by surprise in the House
of Cornruone, he felt sure that their lerlehipe would con
cur in his amendment, which was that the words omi.ted
in the last stage of the bill in the other house be re-
stored, for the purpose of preventing dissenters from
taking any part in the government of the university.
The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was Trite true
that when the bill left that house two years ago it
contained the restriction alluded to by his noble and
learned friend, and it was equally clear that they were
in the bill when it wae re-introduced in the other house
during the present session. He should have been saris
•
fled it matters had so remained, but unless it could be
shown that the omission of these words really did great in-
jury, or cause real apprehension to the Cnurch, he would
submit whether it was advantageous, on questions of this
sort, for their lordships to assume an attitude antagonis-
tic to the other house of Parliament.
Lord LYND HURST—The restriction was in the Ox-
ford Bill.
The LORD CHANCELLOR thought that these fre-
quent antagonisms were not creditable to their lordships,
and he must remind them that it was only a fortnight
since that that argument had been used by his noble and
learned friend on a subject quite germane to the present.
Their lordships would recollect that his noble and learned
friend had occupied teem on a question on which he re-
gretted to eat/ his noble and learned friend was defeated,
but which was very like the present: And he (the Lord
Chancellor) must say that if it was not dangerous to the
Christian religion to introduce :Jews into that house,
neither did be believe it would be dangerous to the
Church of England to introduce a few dissenters into the
universities. He believed the proportion would be very
small. [Lord Lyndhurst—l he; your pardon.] He
believed it would be infinitely small, and the likelihood
was that the proportion would be absorbed by the Church.
He did not know whether it was MIT. Barbauld or Dr.
Aiken who had said that there was no instance of dis-
senters preserving the character for t vo generations.
The Earl of DERBY said he had a great respect for
Mrs. Barbauld-e-(a laugh)—but he hardly thought the
noble and learned lord's sarcasm worthy of the time or
the place. He could net understand why a law was to
be made for Cambridge which had been refused to Ox-
ford. Neither could he understand why one principle
should be enforced one session and another in another.
He was as unwilling as any one to be in antagonism to
the House of Commons ; but in a case like the present,
when an important principle was involved, be trusted that
tber lordships would act on tbeir own unbiassed judg-
ment. Both Government and the House of Commons
were inconsistent with themselves in this matter. Two
years since the House of Cominoes declded in a full
house fur the principle advocated by his noble and
learned friendsiand Government acquiesced in that deci•
Bien. The words proposed to he restored by his noble
and learns f friend were struck out in a house of 130
members, whereas two years before they were affirmed
by a house of 400 members. He trusted, therefore, that
their lordships would not allow themselves to be in-
fluenced by what he must look upon as only a casual
nd Stolen vote.
Lord MONTLAGLE supported the bill as it stood,
as being consi,tent with the soundest principles of legis-
lation. He took the liberty of separating the cases of
Oxford and Cambridge ; they were entirely dissimilar.
In the days of Queen Elizabeth there was nothing which
prevented the admission,. of Dissenters at Cambridge.
Even afterwards a Dissenter could attend the course of
education afforded by the university ; it was only upon
his going up to take his degrees that he was refused the
honour to which his industry and talent entitled him.
But at Oxford the prohibition against dissenters took
effect in limine —it occurred upon a candidate present-
ing himself for the matriculation examination. What
Was now proposed to be done was no more than had been
done in Ireland by Mr. Pitt in 1793, and he defied any
one to say that that step had not been attended with the
happiest results. He denied that this matter had taken
the member of the other house by surprise ; solemn no-
tice was given of the amendment which made it part of
the bill, and, in fact, two divisions of the house took
place upon it. The noble lord opposite (Earl Derby)
had, when a member of the other house, expressed an
Opinion directly favourable to the principle of this bill.
The Earl of DERBY explained that the spiech of his
tO which the noble lord referred bad reference only to the
a .mission of dissenters to the benefits of a University
eduoation. He still retained the opinions which be then
expressed on that subject. But the question then under
consideration was the adruission of dissenters among the

Mr. ROEBUCK thought that this was not a bill to be
rejected in the summary manner proposed. He thought
clauses might be inserted in committee, which by afford-
ing publicity with regard to the amount advanced by the
secret partners, would at once secure the advantages o:
combination, and at the same time to prevent the possi-
bility of collusive partnerships by which the publicrnight
be cheated. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. GLYN said the suggestion just made was one of
the greatest importance, and if the right hon. gentleman
(Mr. Lowe) would promise to adept it he wou'd not ob-
ject to the bill, otherwise he would use every effort in his
power to get rid of this most obnoxious measure. He
considered that the evidence taken before the commit-
tee which had sat on this subject clearly established
three points. First, they undoubtedly proved that legis-
lation was necessary in consequence of the repeal of the
usury laws. 2dly, They showed that an alteration in the
law of bankruptcy ought to be made contemporaneously
with the change ia the law of partnership. Of that the
bill before the house contained no trace. Lastly, the evi-
dence demonstrated the necessity there was for securing
publicity to these partnership contracts, to effect which
he (Mr. Glyn) saw no mode except registration. The
simple fact that the bill did not carry out the suggestions
of the committee was a suffic'ent reason why he should
give it his oppos'tion ; but that was not all. The right
hon. gentleman told the house that his object was nut
to alter the law of partnership, but only to correct the
effect of certain legal decisions. Now, as ho (Mr. Glyn)
had always looked upon the law of partnership as one of
the very fundamental principles of our commercial code,
he must say that that statement of the right hon. gen-
tleman had very greatly astonished him. (Hear.) The
light hon. gentleman said that, if encouraged by the
house, he would bring in a more extended bill on the sub-
ject. [Mr. Lows;—l said I would move for a select com-
mittee ] The very thing. Let the right hon. gentleman
move for a select committee, hut let him not attempt to
farce the present bill upon the house. In the commercial
circles in which he (Mr. Glyn) moved, whatever might
be thought of the law of limited liability or the Joint
Stook Companies Act, there was but one sentiment, and
that an adverse one, with regard to the present bill. In
' every country where there was a law at all like the pre-
sent measure, the bankruptcy law was much more strin-
gent than our own ; and he regarded an alteration in
that law 33 a necessary preliminary before any attempt
•vas made to relax the law of partnership.
Mr. MALINS said the speech of the hon. gentleman
was a retrograde one ; for up to the present time be had
always come forward in support of the law of limited
liability. The present
,bill he regarded as embodying
that principle—a principle which he must remind the
hon. gentleman tbree out of five of the witnesses before
the Parliamentary committee were in favour of adopting.
As for the case put by his hon. friend (Mr. Spooner) he
would appeal to him whether instances of exactly the
same character were not of daily occurrence even under
the present law ? (Hear.) At present a man might lend
money at 30, 40, or even 50 per cent., and he might at
any moment come forward and sweep away all the pro-
perty of the firm, as well as imprison the members of
which it was composed. Was the house prepared to go
back, and re-enact the usury laws? If not, they had no
case whatever against the bill. (Hear.) The bill em-
bodied three principles--first, it permitted a person to
lend money to a firm and receive a portion of the profits
instead of a fixed interest, without making him a part-
ner. Secondly, it enabled a man to remunerate a ser-
vant by a share of the profits without making him a
member of the firm—an enactment to which be believed
there was no objection at all. (Hear, hear ) Lastly, it
enabled a partner to withdraw, leaving a portion of his
capital in the firm, without thereby continuing liable.
He (Mr. Malins) thought that all those principles were
reasonable, and he hoped the house would at once go
into committee. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. CROSSLEY denied that the bill had any con-
nection whatever with the principle of limited liability,
for a partner under its provisions would have no liability
at all. (Loud cheers.) It was said that a man might
lend money at any rate of interest ; but there was this
difference in the two cases, that a creditor, unlike a
partner, had no right to examine the booke. (Hear.)
Mr. BASS said that the hon. members (Mr. Spooner
and Mr. Glyn) had no doubt correctly expressed the
elings of millionnaires. Ile, however, was acquainted
with a large number of small capitalists, and they were
all in favour of the bill. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. G. BUTT was really surprised to hear his learned
friend contend that the bill embodied the principle of
limited liability. Its principle, as had been truly ob-
tierved, was no liability. (Hear, hear.) He would put
a case. Suppose a man advanced to a trader 1,0001. on
condition of receiving seven-eighths of the profits ; be
would receive his money back over and over again ; and
when the trader failed he would still be a creditor for
the amount. Ile was as friendly to limited liability as
I any one ; but this bill enabled persons to take away the
profits of business without incurring any liability at all.
Under the second clause, an agent or factor who took a
share of profits was exempted from partnership liabili-
ties. The result of this would be, that men would en-
gage as agents, servants, or factors, on such terms as to
receive the greater share of the profits,' and would escape
liability altogether. The third clause was no less mis-
chieveue. It would enable retiring partners to pay
themselves, in the shape of profits, the capital they pro-

become law. Its principle was that of lending on profits,
which he thought an extremely beneficial stateof things.
He was told that the bill ought not to pass without
safeguards. He feared that such safeguards as were de-
sired would render the bill a dead letter. Recently two
very great changes in the law had taken place, the re-
peal of the usury laws, and the Joint• Stock Companies
Act ; and if they declared registration or publicity ne-
cessary under this bill, who would take advantage of it
at all I Would not persons who had money to lend pre-
fer to advance it as under the present system ? He
thought it an iejurious plan for capital to be supplied,
for short periods, by persons who dwelt in it; he should
prefer to see it placed on a more permanent and regular
footing. While the widest facilities were allowed to the
regular money lender, why should the person who lent
on profits be tied up by all sorts of restrictions He
denied that persons advancing money in that way would
be entitled to go over the books; all they could do would
be to have an account taken, if necessary, under a court
of equity. At present a creditor might not only stipulate
for exorbitant interest, but also for security, and might
have the stock taken once a week if he chose. Why
should a pers' n who lent on profits be subjected to
greater restrictions ? He should be inexcusable if he con-
sented to introduce into this bill a provision for registra-
, •
Won. Such a provision would be a cruel trap, a miserabie
(delusion, and would inflict more hardship, and lead to
more fraud, than any species of iniquity. If there were
the slightest informality in the register, the party would
be rendered liable to his uttermost farthing. With such
provisions as were proposed by Mr. Hadfield, it would
be far better to have no bill at all; and he could not un•
derstand how those who professed to be in favour of the
principle of the bill could give their sanction to such
snares and pitfalls. He should stand on the bill in it,
present form. Its object was not to alter the laws of
partnership, but to enable individuals to advance capital
without incurring those leavy penalties to which they
were now subject (Hear, hear.)
Mr. CALDWELL complained that the same princi•
ciples of publicity which was considered to form the
chief merit of the Joint-Stock Companies were declared
in this bill to be impracticable and illusory. He went at
some length into the state of the law upon this subject
in other countiies to show that in every case publicity
was an essential feature of all these transactions. The
effect of the bill as it stood might be this :—A. gentle.
man basing 10,0001. to speculate with, sends two men
down to Liverpool, with 5,000/. each, to speculate on
some article, in which speculation might run high. One
was to speculate for a rise, and the other for a fall. The
one was likely to fail, the other to make a fortune. By
this bill the fortune would belong to the man who ad-
vanced the money. In the case of failure, the creditor's
loss on the first scheme was limited ' • in the next place,,
he had stood as a creditor for the 5,0001. he had ad-
vanced, and in the third place he would be a crediter
with means of knowledge which no other creditor pos-
sessed. Under those circumstances ho would oppose
going into committee.
The LORD-ADVOCATE defended the bill, contend-
ing that it placed the law of lender and bog rower on a
proper footing.
,The case which Mr. Cardwell had put
would not apply. In the first place, he doubted whether
the speculation would be a good one ; but if it were, the
fact that the speculator had sent instructions to his men
«f straw would make him out to be a partner. All this
bill would do was to describe a creditor as a creditor—
a principle which had first been departed from in conse-
quence of the usury laws.
Mr. LINDSAY thought that in the course of the de-
bate bon. members who had argued against the-bill had
appeared to overlook the fact that the creditor acted in
a perfectly voluntary manner, and he thought it would be
for better to leave the creditor alone to his own exertions
and industry. He looked upon it as perfectly impossible
for any acts of Parliament to prevent fraud, and be
thought that commercial transactions ought not to be
left too free from legislative interference. He thought
that the proposed system of registration would be falla-
cious, and would fail to secure the ends for which it Lad
been proposed.
Mr. M. CHAMBERS looked upon the question with
which the bill proposed to deal as one of extreme diffi•
culty, and one which required great caution in dealing
with. He thought that some system of checks ought
to be provided iu connection with the alterations pro-
pc, e I to be made in the !ascot partnership by this bill. He
should vote for going into committee, in the hope that

Mr. COWAN asked what the intention of the Go-
vernment was -with regard to the professorship of
military surgery in the University of Edinburgh, which
became vacsnt about six mouths ago by the death of
Vie then professor?
Mr. F. PEEL eisictsit was not the intention of the
Government to suppress the chair of military surgery
referred to, but he eas unable to say when the vacancy
would be filled up. Arrangements had been made to
prevent any inconvenience arising from the delay.
PAYMASTERS OF IRISH CONSTABULARY.
Mr. Sergeant O'BRIEN called the attention of the
house to the case of the late paymasters of Con-
stabulary in Ireland, and to the compensation
allowed to them on the abolition of their office.
In 1836 these paymasters were appointed at a salary of
2001. per annum. In 1851 the offices were abolished,
a❑d receivers appointed, and a pension was recom-
mended by the Lord-Lieutenant to be granted to the
paymasters of 1501. per annum to some, 1201. to others.
and 1001, to those who had been in the service from 6
to 10 years each. The Government, however, instead of
concurring in that recommendation, gave pensions of only
42/. per annum to the first ; 361. to the second; and
gratuities of 104/., 771., 631., 511 , and 341., to the
youngest class. He asked for an explanation of the
award.
Sir D. NORREYS believed that this was an exceed.
ingly hard case. At the time it first eccurred he at-
tempted to obtain justice for the parties, but failed ; and
he hoped the present appeal would be more successful.
Nothing could more illustrate the necessity for adminis-
trative reform than
,this case, for it was impossible
that the civil service of the country could be well
performed if any part of it were unjustly treated ; and
here they had an instance that such injustice could
arise. Now that feeling should be removed, if the state
expected to be well served.
Lord MONCK said it was not in his power to hold out
any hope that the decision already come to in this case
would be departed from. The case was decided by the
Treasury as far back as 1851, and he need not refer to
the obvious inconvenience that must arise if one Trea-
sury Board were to reverse the decision of its predeces-
sor. Under the act passed in the reign of Win. IV., su-
perannuation pensions were authorised to be granted to
certain departments of the public service, the officers of
those departments contributing annually a portion of
their salaries to keep up a fund out of which the pensions
should be partly paid. In 1848 it was proposed to place
these officials under the schedule of that act, but theyde-
ciined the offer, and when, some years afterward, their
offices were abolished, the state made them all the com-
pensation it was in their powerto grant. The house would
take an unwise step if it did anything which shout.' be
at all calculated to disturb that arrangement.
Lord NAAS protested against this question being
treated as one for superannuation ; it was not a super-
annuation case at all, but purely one of abolition of office,
and for that abolition no adequate compensation had yet
been awarded. (Hear, hear.)
The subject then drooped.

racter., has recently been committed in the post-office,
Brown-street. The money received at the money order-
office in King•street is each evening conveyed to the
post-office, and there locked up in a safe by one of the
officials, who gives a rem ipt for the ascertained amount:
This was done on Saturday night last, but, on Monday
morning, it was discovered that this bag, containing
about ZOO sovereigns, had disappeared. How the safe
WAR °paned, as well as other circumstances connected
with the robbery, has for the last few days been the sub-
jeet of anxious inquiry by the principal of the establish-
me nt.—Mancliester Examiner.

Mr. SPOONER thought that this would lead to litiga-
tion, in short to decide where the solvency left off and
the insolvency began.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the real question
was whether a man who advanced money was to be con•
sidered a partner because he adVanced money upon the
consideration of receiving a share of the profits. The
principle of the bill was that instead of receiving a certain
fixed rate of interest he should receive a certain share of
the profits. Now, if ho were not to receive a fixed rate of
interest nothing would be more unjust than to place him
in a worse position than the man who advanced his money
upon interest.
Mr. CARDWELL said that the late division had mate-
rially altered the principle of the bill with regard to per-
sods who had advanced money to private firms, because
the sums advanced were to be left in as assets. He sup-
ported the proviso limiting the time to one year.
Mr. HANKEY said ho entirely agreed with the hon.
member foi Wallingford that the bill as originiflly pro-
posed would be most useful, but if fettered by any condi-
tions putting loans on a different footing from partner-
ships, it was perfectly useless.
Mr. MALINS said that the house had now thrown upon
the lender of money the most penal consequences of being
a partner, namely, a total forfeiture of his capital, and if
that clause were to be carried, he hoped the house would
see that it was useless to proceed further with the bill.

Lord PALMERSTON said that the amendment making
the lender a partner 'must entirely defeat the principle of
the bill, and upon the result of that amendment must de-
pend the fate of the bill.

Mr. LIDDELL wished to put a question to the noble
lord at the bead of the Government upon a matter in
which he took a deep personal interest. By the latest
accounts from the Cape there were sinister rumours of an
approaching outbreak by the Kafirs on the frontier,
and he should be glad to learn whether er not the Go•
vernment bad received any information tending to con-
firna that report.
Lord PALMERSTON said certainly his right hon.
friend the colonial minister received yesterday some ac-
count of the apprehended outbreak on the frontier to which
the hon. gentleman alluded, but be did not understand
that any actual outrage had taken place ; there was only
an apprehension that
an outbreak might occur, and the
amplest provision had been made to meet such eventu-
ality. (Hear, hear.) lie did not understand that the
accounts received contained any report of the actual oc-
currence of an outbreak, but simply an indication that
there had been a slight disturtaace between the Dutch
