PUBLIC. WORKS BILL.

The house went into committee on this bill.
Mr. BLACKBURN objected to the continuance of the
system prOvided for by this bill. Fifteen years since a
public board had been established, with power to advance
money for various purposes, and they had now in hand a
fund of 360,0001. for those purposes. He thought the house
should have time to consider whether it was expedient that
Government should become a banker, lending money and
giving no account of the way in which the money was lent.
There were four millions now out which had been lent by,
the commission, of which a million and a half they them-
selves looked upon as a bad debt. He objected also that
the commissioners had fiKnished no accounts of the ex-
penses of working the commission. He would move, as an
amendment, that the bill be committed pro forma.
Mr. J. WILSON defended the bill, which he said was
merely a continuation bill. Its principle had been debated
over and over again, and it was generally admitted that the
commission had done an immensity of good. The working
expenses of the commission appeared annually in the votes.
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY was inclined to support the
amendment.

Mr. GLYN did not see any reason for postponing the
consideration of the bill. _

Tha committee then divided—

On clause 2,
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY objected to the, composition of
the commission The Commissioners for the Reduction of
the National Debt wore a body which for all practical pur-
poses had no real existence. Yet this body who never met,
except on four formal occasions every year, and who had
no means of exercising a proper control over the funds com-
mitted to them, the bill proposed to make trustees for the
execution of the act.

Mr. WILSON denied that the commission was a sham
one. The chairman was Sir Alexander Spearman, and the
other members were all persons of the highegt character as
practical men. No losses had ever been incurred where the
discretion of the Commissioner had not been interfered with.
It was true there had been losses in connection with the
Thames Tunnel and another undertaking, but those schemes
had been pressed upon tho commission by the house itself.
Mr. LIDDELL then moved that the chairman report
progress.

Mr. BLACKBURN wouldy not attempt any further to ob-
struct the progress of the bill through commitee, but he
hoped the Government would insert a clause requiring an
annual account to be laid on the table.
Mr. WILSON would take care that such a clause, if ne-
cessarY, should be inserted on the third readin6,.
Mr. MOWBRAT renewed the motion for reporting pro.
grass. _ _

Viscount PALMERSTON appealed to the consideration
of the helm to go on with the bill, which was a short one,
and the hour (one o'clock). was not late. (A. laugh.)

This bill passed through committee.
MEDICAL PROFESSION.

condly, to establish a standard of medical education; 091
thirdly, to render the qualification of medical men AO:,
able in every part of the United Kingdom. The nolo

Lord ELCHO expressed a hope that the Goverotonn
would take up this bill.

Mr. CRAUFURD said it was a singular course, wo,-4
measure was already before the house, to introduce anow
on the same subject.
Mr. COWPER thought the bill well worthy of wai'
ation, and recommended that both bills should beiefer
to a select committee.

Leave was then given to bring in the bill.

STARVATION BY PARENTS.—An inquest was held at
Apsley, on the Ist Aprils before Mr. W. Wiseman. deputy
coroner for the Honour of Ampthill, on the body of Ellen
Barratt, about 12 years old, who was found dead in bed
on the 30th ult. The evidence went to prove that, al-
though the parents and elder children were in good con-
dition, yet the younger ones were in a frightfully ema-
ciated state, and it appeared that this must have resulted
from the parents having kept them, morning, noon, and
night, fixed to the " " and feeding them with
gruel for breakfast, gruel for dinner, gruel for supper,
with -an occasional modicum r,f bread ; but no air, no
exercise, no amusement, no relaxation, nothing but
work; until the bodies of the pone things were wasted
literally to a skeleton, with a Ain over it. The jury- re-
turned a verdict of manslaughter against the parents,
and they were committed to Bedford gaol until the next
atbizes.—Balford

RAISING THE BLOCKADE OF

THE LATE LORD TRURO'S LIBRARY.
The LORD CHANCELLOR wished t,, set himself
right upon a question on which it appeared he had com-
mitted a mistake. It would be in the recollection
of their lordships that immediately before the Easter
recess, the noble marquis informed the house that
a communication haci been received from Lady
Truro, and he was deputed to inform the house
that her lady-hip had expressed a wish to present
the law library of the late L ,rd Truro to their lordships'
house. Upon that occasion Lord Lyndhurst passed a
well merited eulogium upon the deceased nobleman.
He thou4ht• it necessary to add a few words for the pur-
pose of reminding the house of the great efforts made
by Lord Truro in the way of Chancery Reform.
He bad been understood, also, to have said that
it was Lorl Truro who had actually drawn up those
reforms of that court which had been subsequently
passed into a law. It appeared that he was not quite
correct in this observation, and he now begged to say
that he would be the last roan in the world to detract
from the merits of the noble and learned lord near him
(Lord St. Leonards), who was really the authur of those
bills.

"You think I have not thought of that my-
self. I have a good mind to put you under arrest. His
lordship used warm words that might have brought
forth warm words in reply. The finish of the conversa-
tion was that said to him, "I have only spoken as one
gentleman would to another, and you have no right to
use there words to me." That was all I said. Your
lordship then ordered me to join my regiment, and I

[LEFT SPEAKING.]

THE MILITARY BOARD OF INQUIRY.

Meeting This Day.

The Boari re3umed its sitting this morning at a guar-
er-past 11 o'clock.

Lord Lucan, who appeared in an excited state before
proceeding with his case, said he considered it due, not
only to himself, but to the other gallant officers who
would find themselves in a similar position, to call the
attention of the Board to an article published this morn-
ing the Times newspaper. The paper had been put into
his hand since leaving home, and be had not had time to
read it thoroughly, but he had read sufficient to enable
him to say that a more improper article in itself, from its
injustice, from the manner in which it had allowed itself
to comment upon all that transpired yesterday, upon the
manner in which it had allowed itself to scan and sift the
evidence of the different witnesses, and to compare
what bad transpired yesterday, and that already pub-
lished in the report to which Lin objected, and the alle-
gations he was endeavouring to rebut, for the manner in
which it bad brought forward the evidence of those par-
suns he proposed to examine, the Times had had the
audacity to bring it form trd as et Lblisbetl evidence to
meet that which he had brought forward, and he did not
hesitate to state that a more disgracsful article ha 1 never
appeared in any paper before. If the paper pretended
to be the leader of public opinion its England, he was
satisfied there was not an Englishman who would not feel
ashamed of writing such an article. Having sail that he
called the attention of the Board to it, and asked them
to interfere if they could, and prevent the repetition of
sulh pending the inquiry. - -
The Board having conferred together,

Mr. PIGOTT presented petitions from Reading against
the endowment of the College of 'Mavnooth, and against
the bill for abrogating the oath of abjuration.
Mr. LOWE presented a petition from Liverpool in
favour of limited liability, uith certain restrictions.

Colonel Griffiths—l told the officers of my own -regi-
meet immediately after the interview erery word I said.
I have not cominuoicated with them since respecting it.
I did not say one war t• mere before tlia.commissionere
thau•was extracted from me by the questions they put
to me. The evidence I gave then was in self-defence, to
show that I had not neglected the interest of my own
regiment.
Lor Lucan—Did you make any official complaint to
your Brigadier I
Col. Griffiths—No ; I made none to any one.
Lord Luc•in—liarl you not 95 men at this time sick
—present and absent ?
Colonel Griffiths—l dare say I had. I can't say
if I hal or had not.
Lord Lucan—Do you not knave that when the cavalry
first changed their camps that it was proposed as soon
as materials could be got, and the assistance of some
Tueis, to move the permanent camp about a quarter of a
mile more to the seuth ?
Col. Griffiths—As far as 1C remember I don t recollect
anything about it. I think there was an order some day
or tem before leaving the heights of Balaklava, but more
than that I don't remember.
Lord Lucan—llid you then believe that the cavalry
were to remain there where they were during the winter?
Col. Gtiffiths—No, I did not expect it because we had
had so many changes, and that was the reason why I
spoke to you respecting sheltering the horses. I think
we had moved some 20 times and more from our landing
to that t'me.
Lord Lucan—What sort of covering for the horses
would you have prepared at the time to which yea
refer ?

The Assistant-Jujge-Advocate said that it was a mat-
ter requiring consideration, and that the thard would
deliberate on it and give him their answer in the aft?r-
part of the day.

Lord Luca,n said that he would submit to the Board
the course he intended to purme. He should proceed
with the examinatio❑ of Gdonel Griffiths, and after that
with the examination of Sir R. Aireyovhen he should
submit himself for examination. Having done that, he
should ask the Board to give him a short time to pre-
pare his reply on his case.

The Assistant-Judge-Advocate, after conferring with
the Board, said they would give an answer to the noble
lord at a subsequent period of the day.
The Assistant-Judge-Advocate handed to his lordship
a written paper, on which
Lord Lucin said he undersood the Court to ask him
whether he could produce Lord Raglan's order for the
cavalry's being employed on tran.port duties, and what
it amounted to. He said he thought he Could. His
own letter acknowledged the receipt of it, and it in-
formed Lord Raglan how he intended to carry out his
lordship's orders. He received from Sir R. Airey, the
Quartermaster-General, a letter dated 12th of December,
1854, in which he stated that as the cavalry horses were
not occupied in field operations, Lord Raglan had di-
rected that 500 horses should be employed in conveying
provisions for the infantry to the heights.
General Peel—What was the duty of the horses

C.d. Griffiths—l would have dug only a half foot
drain in the front and rear of the horses. That of itself
would have kept them from being covered with mud and
water as they were ; and as I proved afterwards in the
encampment at Kadikoi. When the horses laid down
they were covered with water and mud, and the conse-
quence was that with the sudden change of the weather,
a frost coining, on the horse, if laid down all night or in
the day, were so paralyzed with the frost, and so frozen,
that he could not rise—his spine being paralyzed with the
frost, and we lost many of them. The Turks made a few
very fine htit-T.
Lord Lucan —(To the Court)—ls this evidence ?
Colonel Griffiths—l -am only explaining. The Turks
who were close to ua at this time built a large number of
huts which General Searlett purchased for his men at
30/. cacti.
Lord Lucan—(To the Court)—What has this, to de
with 4?
Colonel Griffiths —I am only exp!aining what I think
I have a right to do. At this time several of the captains
of the ships in Balaklava harbour asked why applicaation
was not made to them for tarpaulins and sails with
which to cover the horses and for the men to be employed
in erecting temporary shelter, but I laughed at the time,
thinking it badapage. However, I found after that
some of the artillery availed, themselves of it and had
shelter. I would have given shelter by drawing round
the horses and turning up mud walls to the hor;ies knees,
which would have kept their legs dry and benefitted
them. , If the horses had been-protected only as high as
the etomacti they must have been benefitted.
Lord Lucan—Was it your business or that of the
avisiotial Commander to drain a camp?
Colonel Griffiths—l should not think it your business
nor mine, but the engineers.
Genet al Peel—Was it necessary for you to obtain per-
mission for doing the trilling work you allude to, to
shelter the horses? •
Colonel Griffiths—l have already explained that
we changed often, and it was in consequence of that,
And having so many sick men, that I did not feel justi-
fied in calling upon my men to do work to-day that, by
our being moved to-morrow, would have been useless.
General Peel—Did you make a communication to that
di( of to Lord Lucan ?
Col. Griffiths—Yes, I did.
Lord Lucan--Tell the Court whether I had anything
to do with mot lag the cavalry ?
Col. Griffiths—l can't answer that question. You
gave the orders for it to move.
Lord Lucan—At what date did the Captains of trans-
ports offer canvass, and to whom was the offer made ?
Col. Griffiths—l don't know. It was the talk of the.
camp. Tae time my friends spoke to me about it I
can't recollect.
Lord Lucan—Did you shelter your own horses, at any
time, on the hill with canvass ?
Col. Griffiths—No.
Lord Lucan—Your own private horses?
Col. Griffiths—No. Because it was no use going to
the expense, not knowing how many hours I might re-
main in one place, otherwise I might have done it.
Lord Beauchamp—Did the movements of the Cavalry
camp rest with Lord Lucan ?
Col Griffiths.—He was the only authority from whom
I received my orders to move.
Sir W. Rowan—Do you mean to say positively that
Lord Lucan threatened to place you under arrest for
making that suggestion relative to the horses ?
Col. Griffiths—Yes ; I believe so. That was my im-
pression at the time, and is so now.
The witness then retired.
Lord Lucan called Sir Richard Airey as his text
wit ness.
Lord Lucan—Were you personally exanuned by the
Crimean Commissioners? -
Sir R. Airey—No ; never.
-Lord Lucan—lnform the board if you recollect the
morning of the Bth, when I was in conversation with
Lord Raglan.
Sir R. Airey—l can't recollect any particular -date.
Your lordship was in constant communication with Lord
Raglan with reference to your shelteting your horses.
Lord Lucan—Did I not on that occasion ask for in-
structions about the winter 4:pluterv, end did. L. ad

Lord Lucan—The horses were divided into different
parties. They had to leave the camp about 8 o'clock in
the morning and go to B►laklava, a dragoon leading
each baggage-horse with their own saddles of the regi-
ment, because there were no pack saddles to be had.
After that they proceeded to each division of the camp
with provisions.
General Peel— What weight did each horse carry ?
Lord Lucan—As there were no pack-saddles he in-
formed Lord Raglan they could not carry more than
one hundred weight. Had there been pack-saddles each
horse could have carried 2 cwt. The way the tairsce
were worked was pet feet destruction to thatn. They
were in a bad condition, and their ribs were greatly ex-
posed, so that they were in much greater !danger than
horses in good condition.
General Peel—ln your letter you allude to the double
forage. What was the forage duty of the horses?

L';rd Lucan said that what was meant by double
forage duty w•as, that the light dragoon horses had to
carry both for themselves and others. They had to make
double journeys.

• Colonel Griffiths was then called and examined by
Lord Lucan—He sai I he was unable to state the day or
month when he wa-, examined by the admaan Commis-
sioners, Sir J. M'Neil and Colonel Tulloch. The day
na which he was the field-officer for .the day, on the
16th, two days after the storming Sebastopol, be went
to Lord Lucan to ask his order for the picquet. It WAS
not ready. Lord Lucan then referred to a coat
,be had
on. In the cowrie of the conversation be said, "My
Lord, I fear that if something is not done immediately
for my horses, they will suffer considerably, and I shall
lose the greater part of them," having already lost a
considerable comber. You replied, "130 you think I have
not thought of that already. I have a great mind to put
you under arrest." My impres-ion, at the time, was,
and is still, that the threat to put me under arrest was
for making that suggestion to you. There might have
been warm expressions used by me towards your lord-
ship, but I did not use them before your lordship had
used harsh words to me that called them forth.

Lord Lucan said the witness was not giving a full an-
swer. He was not informing the Court of all that
passed.

Col. Griffiths—l am convinced of thif. I nor any
man would amk a favour of a person in a disrespectful
manner. I certainly should not do so.
Lord Lucan submitted that was not a full and pro-
per answer to the question, and it would be necessary
for him to examine Col. Griffiths further.

Lord Lucan—You recollect the storm of the 14th
November ?
Col. Griffiths— Yes.
Lord Lu can—What ground did your regiment occupy?
Col. Griffiths—The lowest of all.

Lord Lucan—Was that the first encampment ?

. _ .
Colonel Griffiths—l can't say. The ground was wet
and low ; and as an instance of that I saw a goose on
one occasion swimming about there in the water and
mud.

Lord Lecan—You know perfectly well that On the
bill the Heavy Brigade occupied two different grounds
of encampment ?
Col. Griffiths—The Greys had three encampments.
Lord Lacan--I wish to ask you whether, on the 14th
Nov., you occupied the first ground we took up on going
up the hill, or whether you had moved ?
Col. Griffiths— I am certain it was the first ground.
Lord Lu..an—Did you keep a journal during the
autumn and winter of 1854 55 !

Col. Griffiths—l male a few memorandums.
Lord Lucan—it.re they producable 7
Col. Griffiths—l don't think I could get them.
Lord Luc:4n--,Are they in Etigland ?
Col. Griffiths—No, certainly not.

afterward daily communicate, personally or otherwise,
to Lord Raglan for the issistanceof an engineer ?- •
Sir R..4.irey—Uost 'certainly.
Lord Lucan—When_ you said in your evidence for
the Crimean Commissioners that an engineer was 'Abed
at my disposal, did you mean more-.than that you bad
ordered one ? Did you mean to convey that an engineer
officer really had been given to me at.the time ?
Sit R. Airey—l regret that your lordship did not *give
me some insight into the nature of the questions you in-
tended to put to me, as I could then have given more
satisfactory answers to them than I am now able to dr.
I am, however, able to answer the question to a earl a'n
extent. Lord. Lucau from the_ commencement pressed
to .be informed whether_ cavalry would probably be
tamped, so that he might at onoe commerce operations
for the shelter of his horses, and after that for materials.
After the cavalry vfere ordered 'down to ICulikio, Lord
Loca.n recommenced his applications for material for
sheltering hie horses. This was brought under the
notice of Lori Raglan, and we WerUall anxious to e-ff-ct-
that object. After that he received a letter from Lord
Lucan for the assistance of a: cavalry oflioer. . Colonel
Gordon said one caul not be spared, but as soon-as he
could. be should be sent to Lard Lncan, but that'theo
he could not be solely and.exelusively.at the service of
the cavalry.

Lord fucan—Then may the Board supphse, frem all
that passed within your knowledge on this subject, that
there was ao want of promptitude or ingenuity in pro-
viding phelter for the cavalry horses !
Sir R. Airey—l say, certainly, that every exertion
was-made by your lordship in providing for the shelter
of the horses.

After answering seine other questions, in which be
explained the application for Canvass for sheltering. the
horses, and that the Artillerrgot the most Of it from
being ;lose to Balaklever Sir ilk Airey .retired, and an
Court adjourned for half an hour.
On the return into Court,
The Deputy-Judge-Advocate announced that the
Board had considered the subject alluded to by Lord
Lucan, relative to the Times, and said the Board
thought it would be better if the Times would abstain
from commenting on those proceedings until after the
Board had presented their report to her Majsn'y.
Colonel Doherty, of the 13th Light Dragoons, was
next examined with reference to his statement before the
Commissioners that the hu:ting of the horses was not
completed. before the-22d of January, and was asked it •
be still adhered to that statement, or belived it to be a
mistake. -He said he might have made a mistake, but
he cluld not say now whether it was or not.
On this witness retiring,
Colonel Tulloch was called but did not answer.
The Deputy Judge Advocate stated that in conse-
quence of an application that bad been made to the
Board by the above officer he would be allowed to call
evidence and cross-examine witnesses to support any
portion of the commissioners' report that was im-
pugned.

- Lord Lucan was called upon to produce the letter
he had received from Lord Raglan relative to the hut-
ting, &e., which he handed in.

General Peel asked Lord Lucan if he was of the same
opinion as Col. Griffiths with reference to the advantage
of digging a trench or drain roundthe horses would have
been to them.

Lord Lucan said that he should hope if any command-
ing officer had entertained such au opinion that they
would have carrie,l it immediately into effect. There
was notking on the plateau to give shelter to the horses
He was not aware of any canvass being offered, and if it
had he did not think it would have been safe. Every
on- knew that on the 14th every tent was blown duwn.
The Board not havinz any further questions to put to
his lordship, be was informed that possibly Col. Tulloch
might wish t,) ask him some questions t,;-

would proce-d with his address to the Court tbeu or
wait the result.

CRIMINAL COURT.—{This Day.) • I'.

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)

William Bleckland, 20, ship carpenter, pleaded gull's,'
to several indictments charging him with having, by
means of false pretences, obtained sums of momey.
Ord also with a felony. The prisoner had, it appeared,
gone to seteral persons' houses and stated that he lad
been a ship carpenter on board one of her Majesty's Yes•
eels, and was entitled to prize mquey ; and borrowed
money of them, which he said he would repay as soon a•
his prize money was paid to him. One person he took
with him to the Admiralty, and pretended to inquire
about the money, and going in at one door made hie
escape by another. In one instance he got a suit of
clothes upon the same pretence, and absconded -with
them. The felony he committed at a house where he
had obtained a lodging.

The Recorder sentenced him to 12 months' impri.
sonment.

Henry Lambert, 18, clerk, pleaded guilty to several
indictments for having stolen orders for the payment of
501., and 11/. 55., the property -of. Wm. Bunco
Greenfield, his master.

Lord Lucan said he thought it:would be beter to wait.
The Court., shortly after 3 o'clock, adjourned till to.
morrow, and then at itif.rising. will adjourn to Friday.
There will be no sitting on Thursday.

The prisoner had been clerk to the prosecutor, who is
a stockbroker, and used to make up hie Stock Exchange
balance, which be did for a greater amount than was
due, by prosecutor receiving checks for the amount.
In answer to the Court, the prosecutor said that the
defalcations amounted to about 3001. The prisoner had
also falsified the books. He, however, wished to re-
commend him to mercy, upon the account of bis youth.
He had been two and a half years in his service. He
first had his suspicions aroused as to the prisoner's
honesty from the fact of his giving some women into
custody for having robbed him.
The Recorder said he would take time to consider the
sentence.

layer, pleaded guilty to having committed a burglary in

Chitty was, it appeared, -a ticket-of-leave man, having
-been transported in 1849 for ten years. He came back
about two years ago, and since that time had been hang-
ing about the streets at night, with women, for the pur-
poses of plunder. When apprehended he made a nest
