sisting, as the else may be, by message, without a con-
ference, unless at any time the Commons should de-ire
to colcmunic,ite the same at a conference—Agreed to.
The NOBLE LORD tt“ n moved that the resolution
should be communicated to the Commons.—Agreed to.

APPRENTICES AND SERVANTS BILL.
The Earl of CARLISLE moved the third reading of
the Apprentices and Servants Bill, and proposed seroral
verbal amPn(lmen4s.

Lord BEAUMONT protested against such interfe-
rence between masters and servants as was proposed by
this Bill. The effect would be that persons would not
hire servants from workhouses. Ha admitted that one
monstrous case of ill-treatment had been brought for-
ward, but he thought that the great majority of persons
hired from workhouses were perfectly competent to
make known to the public any grievances from which
they suff?red.
The Duke of RICHMOND deprecated any legislation
on the matter. unless the whole subject of the relations
of master and servants were considered. Be thought
that the result would be that no persons would hire
children from workhouses. The 8.11 would produce a
very prejudicial et?. ct. It would be most unaiviseablo
to send the par. chial authority to qu,..stion a child hired
out to a farms as to how he was frd, clothed,
and treated. The present law was quite sufficient
to meet th,- exigencieg o' any case that could arise.
The Eirl of CARLISLE denied that they were le-
gislating upon a single case. There as nut ouly the
case of the Sloanes, but there was the case of the Birds,
in which a poor girl died from ill-treatment, and he
found there were many cases in which poor children
were E u jecc ed to cruel treatment; and it was evident
from the case of the Birds, that in rural districts the
interference of neighbours could not be depended on.
It was, therefore, necessary to enact this system of in-
spection, which had much to their honour been volun-
tarily adopted by several boards of guardians. The
poor-law authorities had received several representations
in favour of the measure. and not one against it.
Lord PORTMAN protested against the principle of
the inspection clause of the Bill, and would move its
omission, for th 4 purpose of recording his opinion on the
subject.
