attempt were made to rescind it which depended upon
their opinion, there would be little chance of accomplish-
ing it.
Mr. M. GIBSON observed that the Corporation of Man-
che-ter had given a qualified 'assent to the bill, but the
people of Manchester objected to it, and preferred being
left to their old system of police. He (Mr. Gibson) thought
he should not think it necessary on the present occasion to
vote for the amendment of the right hon. member for Ox-
fordshire, but reserved to himself a right on a future oc-
casion to object to those clauses of the bill which would
interfere with the municipal corporations of the county.
After a short discussion,
The committee divided, when the numbers were—
For the amendment
Against 268
Majority ----174
The clause was then ordered to stand part of the bill.
On clause 2, -
Sir J. PAKINGTON asked for information as to the
reason for introducing this clause, which he thought un-
necessary. The clause gave compulsory power to the Secre-
tary of State as to the division of counties into districts
Ho thought such a division a local question, which ought
to be left to the discretion of the local magistracy.
Sir G. GREY said he had already explained that those
reasons were founded on the recommendations of the select
committee.
Mr. HENLEY thought it a clause clumsily drawn..
Were the whole or only a portion of the ratepayers to have
a voice in the matter ?
Sir J. PAKINGTON hoped the Government would
make rip its mind as to what course ought to ho taken on
this clause,
Sir G. GREY had amended the clause in the report.
Mr. COBBETT hoped the amendment would be pressed
that the Chairman do now report progress.
The motion for reporting progress was withdrawn, and
the committee divided upon the 2d clause—
' For the clause l9B
Against it
Majority --136
The CHAIKMA.N then reported progress, and obtained
leave to sit again on Friday nett.
The second reading of the Parochial Schools (Scotland)
Bill was moved by the LORD-ADVOCATE,

tion was affirmed by a majority of 9D to 47. The debate
was afterwards adjourned until Monday.
