M PER I PARLIAME IN I`,

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tats DAY.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter-past 12 o'clock.

PRIVATE BUSINESS•
The North British, Pee bles, and Jedburgh Railway Com-
pany's Bill was considered and agreed to, and ord3red for
third reading,

PETITIONS.
Several petitions were presented against the Highways
Bill and the Sunday Trading Bill, and praying the house
to vindicate their privileges in reference to the recent alleged
aggression of the House of Lords, &e.
TENURE AND IMPROVEMENT OF LAND
(IRELAND) BILL.
The house went into committee on this bill, resuming at
clause 21, which was agreed to.
On clause 22,
Mr. BUTT drew attention to some ambiguity in the bill
with reference to encumbrances.
Mr. DEASY, in reply to Mr. BUTT and Mr. LoNa•
FIELD, said, it was not intended by the bill to give any
charges precedence over incunabrances, as it was consi-
dered such a course would alarm ineumbrances and operate

injuriously.
Mr. GEORGE moved the following amendment :—"
the end insert the owner of land charged with such an-
nuity shall (unless theye be an express agreement between
him and the party advancing the monies ou the security to
the contrary), be at liberty, at any time before the expira-
tion of 25 years after the commencement thereof, to redeem
such annuity on payment of the arrears (if any) thereof,
and of such sum as shall b© equal to the aggregate amount
of the half-yearly payments not then accrue due, after
deducting or allowing discount after the rate of 5 per cent
in respect of such several future payments; and the Judges of
the Landed Estates Court (Ireland) or one of them shall cause
tables to be framed showing the rate at which the annuity
is to be redeemed in the several years during whichthe said
annuity is made redeemable, and the owner of land so re-
deeming said annuity may charge the land on which said
annuity was charged with the said sum so paid by him for
redemption of said annuity, with lawful interest thereon,
but so nevertheless that the charge upon such lands shall
be lessened in every successive year, to be computed from
the date of the order charging said annuity, by the amount
of one twenty-fifth part of the whole value of the said an-
nuity, and the interest in respect thereof.' "
Mr. DEASEY suggested that the amendment should be
moved as an additional clause. _ _ _

Mr. GEORGE assented to the suggestion, and withdrew
the amendment for the present.
Clauses 23 and 24 were agreed to. s
On clause 25,
Mr. GEORGE moved an amendment, the object of
which was to afford limited owners increased facilities in
the leasing and improving of their land, subject to certain
restrictions. _ _

• Mr. DEASEY opposed iho amendment, as being too
complicated to be practicable, and conferring a power on
the limited owner which might be exercised to the prejudice
of the future owner.

Mr. LONGFIELD considered that the amendment,
though it contained some good points, would not work
satisfactorily; and did not imposo sufficient restriction on
the limited owner. _ _

Lord FERMOY opposed the amendment and availed
himself of the opportunity of expressing his disapprobation
of the course adopted by the committee on the last day the
bill was discussed, namely, transferring the power of de-
ciding on the title to land by the chairman of quarter sessions
to the more dilatory and expensive tribunal of a law court.
He concluded a chief cause of the want of fertility of the
land and the discontent of the peasantry was the practice of
landlords in Ireland refusing to grant leases to their tenants.
Lord NAAS considered the propkition of the hon. mete-
ber (Mr. George) calculated to work beneficially. By the
bill as it stood at present a preliminary investigation was
required before the chairman of the quarter session, to
enable a limited owner to grant a lease, the effect of which
would be to increase litigation without any corresponding
advantage.
Colonel FRENCH contended that the preliminary in-
vestigation in question was necessary.
Mr. MAGUIRE approved of the preliminary investiga-
..

tion. It was better to give a tenant the strongest guarantee
of the security of the lease, and such preliminary sanction
provided for by the bill. (Hear, hear.) He agreed with
the noble lord (Lord Fermoy) in regretting the course taken
by the committee on the last day of discussion, in trans-
ferring jurisdiction with reference to title, from
the chairman of Quarter Session to the Superior
courts, and was happy to find that a similar course was
not proposed by Government in respect to leabing.
A local tribunal, besides being less costly, was
belt• r caleulcated to arrive at a correct conclusion
in cases where any fraud was contemplated.
Mr. CARDWELL admitted that the amendment was
suggested in good spirit, but he considered a preliminary
investigation necessary, and therefore he supported the
clause as it stood.
Mr, M'MAHON supported the amendment.
Mr. BUTT thought that they ought net to leave the
matter between the landlord and tenant, but that they
should interpose a tribunal that would confer legal sanction
on any arrangements they might make between themselves.
Mr. SCULLY considered that the preliminary sanction
was desirable not only for the security of the tenant, but
for the sake of those persons who would be bound by the
lease.

(LEFT SITTING).

LAW INI'ELLIGENOE.-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

MILLET V. BOOT; ETC.
This wcts an appeal under the 20 and 21 Vic. cap. 43.
Mr. Baron Bramwell delivered the judgment of the court
to the effect that the appellant had not proved that he was
servant to the master, but that he was employed as a work-
mai by a person who acted as foreman, and superintended
the works, and that he alone was liable for his wages.
Judgment of the Justices affirmed, and appeal dis-
missed.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE-( THIS .DAI .)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CHARGE OF CREATING A DISTURBANCE AT A THEATRE,
AND ASSAULT.—Edward Bland, a young lad, was charged
before Mr. Henry as follows :—Sergeant, 32 C, on duty at
the Soho Theatre on the previous night, said that while a
piece called "The Captain is not Amiss" was being per
formed the defendant made use of a disgusting expression,
which caused persons to call out " Shame." He then went
up to the defendant and told him he must come out of the
theatre, when he refused, and iu a scuffle which took place,
the defendant struck him several times in the face and tried
to bite his leg.

The lad's father and sister wore called for the defence,
and said they never heard the defendant make use of any
bad language, and said a great deal of violence was used
towards him. The lad's father, however, admitted he was
a little deaf.

Mr. Menry told the constable that removing persons
from a theatre was a power he must be very careful in exer-
cising.
.There ought to be some one connected with the
theatre to authorise him to do so.
The ,sergeant said he acted under general orders, and
adopted the usual course.
Mr. llenry said he was not satisfied there had not been
too much violence used in taking the defendant out of the
theatre, and as there was some doubt he used the expres-
sion imputed he should discharge him.

THAMES.
SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A LETTER-CARRIER.—
Patrick Fitzgerald, an Irishman, about thirty years of age,
and who has been for several years a letter-carrier, was
brought before Mr. Selfe charge 1 with committing a very
serious assault upon Julia Murphy, aged twelve years.
The complainant, a very intelligent, good looking girl,
the daughter of poor Irish parents, of good character, and
dwelling at No. 7, Blacksmiths' Arms Place, Back Church
Lane, St. George-in-the-East, gave evidence at greatiiiiigth
affecting the prisoner, from which it appeared that she and
another girl about her own age were met by the prisoner" in
the street, and ho gave them halfpence and inveighlod them
to his lodgings in Wapping, where ho assaulted them
in a most foul manner, and polluted their minds
as well as their bodies. The girl Murphy was
complaining to her mother several days after the inter-
view with the prisoner, and she took her to Mr. Cowley, a
surgeon in High-street, Whitechapel, by whose directions
\the prisoner was apprehended by a City police-constable at
the General Post-office, in St. Martin's-le-Grand.

The prisoner cross-examined the girl Murphy, who gave
her evidence with great distinctness, and he suggested by '
his questions that she had carried on en iminoral connexion
with other men, which she deniel. In answer to another
question she admitted that something improper had
occurred between her and her cousin, who was now twelve
years of age. That occurred three years ago.
Mr. Cowley said the prisoner and tho girl were both
afflicted with a loathsome disease.
Mr. Selfe—l remand the prisoner until Friday ; let the
other girl abused by the prisoner be sought after.
