The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool ack
at five o'clock.

Lord REDESDALE presented a petition from the
Governors of Christ's Hospital against the Endowed
Schools Bill.
The Poor Law Act Amendment Bill was read a third
time and passed.
THE ENDOWED SCHOOLS BILL.

Earl DE GREY and RIPON moved that this bill be
road a second time. He thought their lordships would
agree with him that the present state of many of the en-
dowed schools in this country was not in a satisfactory
condition. The bill proposed to carry out certain preli-
minary work—to examine into the condition of the
schools, and to arrange the authority under which they
were to be governed.

The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock.
THE TELEGRAPH BILL.

Mr. GRIEVE asked the Postmaster-General whether it
was the intention of the Government to bring in a bill to
carry out the provisions of the Telegraph Act of 1868.
The Marquis of HARTINGTON stated that a bill was
prepared, and would shortly be submitted to the house for
the purpose of providing for the transference of the tele-
graphs to the Government. A clause would be inserted
to give a monopoly to the Government as at the Post-
office. . _ _

Mr. BOI7IIKE asked the Attorney-General whether, in
the event of the house agreeing to the second reading of
the Dublin Freemen Disfranchisement Bill, it was his in-
tention to bring in a bill to disfranchise the ward of the
borough of Bradford respecting which Mr. Baron Martin
bas reported to the Speaker that, being " inhabited prin-
cipally by Irishmen of the working class, large numbers"
therein " were influenced by corrupt practices" at the late
election.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL answered in the nega-
tive, the two cases, in his opinion, not being at all similar.
(Hear, hear.)

cheers from the Ministerial side of the house.
