HOUSE OF COMMONS.--YESTERDAT.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock.
THE OVEREND AND GURNEY TRIAL.
Mr. BRUCE, in reply to Mr. Eykyn, said the m
of the prosecution in this case had been fully consid
in the cabinet, and the result arrived at
there was nothing in this case that should re,
it from those of ordinary cases where the
secution is left to those who had been sufferers.
only precedent was that of the Royal British Bank,
the prosecution was carried on at the expense of the
vernment, but that was a case to be avoided rather
followed. The Government had been applied to to
nish funds for the prosecution of the directors of the I
Bank, but that application had boon refused,
it was thought quite impossible to furnish f
to carry on a prosecution, the conduct of c
would not rest in their bands. He was quite aware
it would be said there was an inconsistency in the
vernment prosecuting Madame Rachel and refusing
so in the case of the directors in the case
Overend, Gurney, and Company, but the que
in the former was totally different from that in the I,
In Madame Rachel's case the question was whether a
ticlar judge bad jurisdiction to try the case, and upon
the previous conviction and sentence of five years
servitude depended, and so great public impor
attached to the determination of the que
that the Government felt bound to take
master up. The Lord Chief Justice had decided tl
prosecutor could not in that court conduct his case in and he thought it would bs admitted that he v
competent authority on the point. The Governm
having fully considered tho whole of the matter, we
opinion that the circumstances of the case of Ove,
Gurney and Co., did not afford sufficient reason for m,
any exception to the general rule.

Mr. EkRYN gave notice that to-morrow he shoule
the attention of the house to the subject. (Rear, hes
Mr. FAWCETT asked if it was competent for a
citor to conduct the prosecution ?

Mr. BRUCE could not say, as he was not well-info
on the subject they practice in law courts.
AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.
The debate on the proposition for discontinuing
collecting of agricultural statistics was resumed, but
a short discussion the motion of Mr. PELL for then

PARTY PROCESSIONS ACT.

The adjourned debate on this bill was resumed,
Mr. C. FORTESCUE said he could not give his a.
to the second reading of the bill, more particularly ai
period, when it had become necessary for the Govern
to send an immense military force to Ireland, to pre
any disturbance arising from a collision taking plac
tween the two parties in the north of Ireland on th
casiun now approaching. (Hear, hear.) The Govern
would put the present law into force most effectivel'
the purpose of maintaining the peace, and he could
hope that, in the north of Ireland, peace would be
served on the 12th of July.

Tho debate bad not concluded at a quarter to si
