Railway, Inverness and Aberdeen Junction Railway,
and the Scottish Central Railway.
The report on the Forest of Dean Central Railway
Bill, with amendments, was agreed to.
PEACE PRESERVATION (IRELAND) BILL.
On the motion for the house going into committee eel
this bill,
Mr. M'MAHON said that the house ought not to go
into committee on this bill in the absence of Mr. Brady,
who had given notice that the house shouldgo into com-
mittee on this bill that day six months. The hon. mem-
ber contended that the state of Ireland did not warrant
the enactment of this measure, which was a re-enact-
reent of the Crime and Outrage Act. He moved the
committal of the bill that day six vaonths.
Sir G. GREY said the present bill did not propose
the re enactment of the Crime and Outrage Act. The
objectionable clauses to that act which were thought
unnecessary to the preservation of the peace in Ireland
were omitted from this bill. He supported the motion
for the house going ino committee on this bill.
After some remarks from Col. Greville, Mr. De
Tare, Lord Bernard, Col. Dunne, Mr. Napier, Mr. J.
Butt, and Mr. Maguire,
The amendment was negatived without a division, and
the House went into committee on the bill.
Clause 1 was agreed to.
On clause 2, .

Mr. GEORGE proposed certain amendments,
and complained of the manner in which the
measure had been introduced and of the working
of those clauses which made it difficult for
hon. members to ascertain how much of the Crime and
Outrage Bill it was proposed to re•enact. He bad no
objection to the re-enactment of the clauses referring to
the proclamation of disturbed districts, the licensing of
arms, and the issue of warrants for that purpose ; but
ke objected to the reenactment of the 16tb, 17th, 18th,
19th,- and 20th clauses of the Crime and Outrage Act,
from the peaceable state of Ireland not requiring such
stringent clauses to be introduced into this measure.
The Government ought to adopt one •f two courses—
either pass the Crime and Outrage Act as such, or if it
be necessary to gild that bitter pill by giving it another
name, that the clauses of the former act should be intro-
duced fully into this bill, that magistrates, when called
on to act under it, may really know its provisions. He
also moved that the bill should be limited to two years'
operation.
Mr. HORSMAN said the clauses now proposed to be
submitted were is accordance with the former preamble
of the bill, but as that had been altered and did not state
that crime and outrage were now prevalent in Ireland,
it was necessary to omit the clauses referring to it. No
doubt Ireland generally was in as peaceable a state as
England, but it should be borne in mind that a species
of crime existed in Ireland which was unknown in Eng-
land, that made it necessary precautionary measures
should be adopted. All the Government asked was for
the house to give the Lord-Lieutenant exceptional
powers to be able to act in places where there was reason
to believe such crimes as he had alluded to would be
perpetrated.
Mr. M'MAHON supported the omission of the
clauses referred to. .

Mr. Sergeant O'BRIEN objected to the retention o

the 16th clause of the Crime and Outrage Bill. That
clause bad been in existence for 10 years, but no prose-
cution had taken place under it. Many of the other
clauses asked to be retained were unnecessary.
Mr. GEORGE declined dividing the committee on his
amendment.
After some remarks from Mr. Napier, the Attorney-
General for Ireland, Col. Dunne, Col. Greville, and Mr.
I. Butt, the amendmarit was withdrawn, and on the ques-
tion that the clause be agratd to, a long discussion took
place between the Government and the Irish members
relative to the re-enacted clauses of the Crime and Out-
rage Bill being fully set forth in the present !measure for
the convenience of those who would have to carry out
its provisions, and a pledge was given by the Irish mem-
bers that if the suggestions were adopted, and the opera
tion of the act limited to one year instead of five years,
no further opposition would be offered by them to the
bill. The Attorney-General for Ireland declined reply-
ing to the offer, on which
Mr. I. BUTT moved the omission of clause 2.
Mr. HORsNIAN, the Secretary for Ireland, said the
proposition to consider the limitation of the operation
of the act was when the clause referring to it came be-
fore the committee. If ho acceded to the request male
by Irish members, there would not be time to pass the
measure this session.
Col. GREVILLE complained that the Government
were not treating the committee with proper respect in
declining to give an answer to the suggestion made by
Irish members.
Several Irish members addressed the committee, dis-
approving of the silence of the Government on the sug-
gestions made.
Mr. M'CANN said he would readily leave this ques-
tion to the decision of the committee, but the difficulty
he felt was how to deal with those members who would
rush from the lobbies and other parts of the building into
the house when the bell rang for a division—(laughter)—
and who had not heard one word of the discussion, con-
sequently were ignorant of the feeling of those who had
discussed the merits of the clause. (Hear, hear.)
The committee then divided, and the numbers were—
For the clause.
Against it 53
Majority —4s
The clause was then agreed to.
On clause 3.
Colonel DUNNE protested against the conduct o
those members who spoke in committee against the bill,
but in the division voted for the Government. (Hear.)
The clause was ultimately agreed to, with verbal
amendments.
On clause 4, limiting the operation of the bill to five
years,
Mr. I. BUTT moved the limitation should be " two
years from the passing of the bill."

POSTAGE LABELS.
Mr. WHITESIDE asked the Chanoellor of tboNv.
chequer whether, on the termination of the preainft:
agreement with Messrs. Bacon and Petch, for print-is
and gumming the postage labels, it was the intention of
her Majesty's Government to give public notice
calling for tenders of contract for printing and gumming_
the same, or to renew the arrangement heretofore made.
with Messrs. Bacon and Botch.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it
was the intention of the Government to renew the-oon•
tract, arid instructions to that effect had been given.
MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS BILL.
Mr. WISE asked the President of thetOird ofilealtb,
whether it is the intention of her Msjesty's Government
to proceed with the M,dical Practitioners Bili as
amended by the selezt committee, during the present
session ?

Mr. COWPER said it was the intention of the Go.
vernment to proceed with the bill.
