EMIGRANTS 10 CANADA.

Mr. MONS ELL, in reply. to Mr. Kinnaird, said, with
respect to the emigrants who had formerly been in the
employ of the Royal Dockyards and ordnance factories,
that on their arrival in Quebec the Governor-General bad
ordered that the utmost assistance and facilities should be
given them. The Government of Ontario had offered
them land, and he believed other matters would he done
which would be highly advantageous to them.
THE NEW LAW COURTS.
Mr. LAYARD, in reply to the question of Mr. Gregory,
as to whether the Government had decided finally on the
site for the new law courts, suggested by the
chancellor of the Exchequer in his speech on the
20th inst., said the Government had finally decided
to apply to Parliament to acquire the site meetioned by
his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
The site required was between Somerset-house and the
Temple, at the end of Howard-street. It consisted of siX
acres of ground, and Mr. Street, the architect, had stated
that it was quite possible to erect the whole of the courts
and offices on that site. The Goirornment intended to
apply for a bill to acquire that site, and on that
occasion he should be able to show that it possessed great
advantages over every other site which had been proposed'
(Laughter.) There was another advantage to be attained
with such a proposal, as the whole building could be
erected at the cost mentioned by the hon. gentleman (gr.
Gregory), viz., .£l,6oo,ooo—(hear, hear)—which was a veil
great advantage compared with the costly scheme which had
been advocated in the house by the supporters of the Carer
street site. He had received a communication from Chief
Baron Sir Fitzroy Kelly on the subject, and he said that
all the judges were unanimously in favour of the new site,
and that it was their opinion that it would be for the con-
venience of the bench, the bar, the solicitors, the suitors,
and the public that the proposed change of site should
take place. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. HUNT wished to know whether the necessary
notices had been given to the owners of property.
Mr.LAYARD said when he applied for leave to bring in
the bill, which he hoped to do before Whitsuntide,he would
enter at length into all the details of the matter.
An HON. MEMBER wanted to know what was to be
done with the Carey-street site.

Mr. LAYARD must ask hon. members to postpone
their enquiries until he applied for leave to introduce the
bill.

THE COVICT WILTSHIRE.

Mr. BRUCE had to apologise to the hon. member for
Wiltshire for not answering the whole of his questions
the other evening. He had asked whether Charles Wilt-
shire was the same person who had attempted to murder
one of the warders in Gloucester Gaol. He believed that
one of the warders whose duty it was to watch Wiltshire
after the conviction fell asleep, and the convict
seized that opportunity to make a violent attack on the
man, but on the arrival of the night watchman ho Ws°
quite calm. He hoped the hon. member would feel there
was a great difference between an attempt to murder and
a violent assault. The circumstance; however, had been
fully considered, when the fate of the convict was decided.
The Beerhouses, Sce.,tßill was read a second time.
Several measures were advanced a stage, and the house
adjourned. "
