NETLEY HOSPITAL.

Mr. DUTTON asked the Secretary of State for War
whether a commission was not appointed in 1857 to inquire
andyeport upon the question of the salubrity of Netloy and
the adjacent district, and whether the report was not en-
tirely favourable as regarded the site and positron of the
hospital.

Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR expressed a hope, as large sums
of money had been expended in building near the hospital,
that the right honourable gentleman did not adopt the
language which he had quoted on a previous occasion
in disparagement of the salubrity of the site. He
(Mr. D. Seymour) thought it was of importance to be
known that the Registrar-General, after taking an average
of the health of various parishes, found the minimum of
deaths throughout the country to be 15 per 1,000, and the
maximum 36 per 1,000.

Mr. S. HERBERT said though it was true that a scien-
tific committee had reported that Netley and the adjacent
district was favourable for the military hospital, he retained
his opinion that the selection was an unfortunate one, and
the climate debilitating instead of bracing for invalids.

ENTRY OF THE SHERIFF ON THE ROMAN
CATHOLIC CHAPEL AT GORTLITERA.
Mr. BRADY asked the Chief Secretary for Intland
whether it was true that the sheriff of Leitrim, supported
by a large armed force, took legal possession for the Earl of
Leitrim of the Roman Catholic chapel of Gortlitera, in that
county.

NEWDEGATE deprecated any attempt to interfere
with the rights of landlords to give or withhold sites for
chapels, though he hoped that the landlord and the inha-
bitants of Headford would come to an amicable understand-
ing on the subject. Ho rose mainly, however, to notice a
question put on the paper by Mr. Bowyer, though he had
not put it, respecting the progress of the Roman Catholic
Charities Bill. If the hon. and learned gentleman did not
do so he would himself put it on Monday, as it was essen-
tial that the house should have ample time to discuss that
bill.

Mr. BUTT hoped the parties in these church sites would
come to a friendly understanding, but he thought that good
feeling would be expedited by an expression of opinion on
the part of this house.

Mr. CARDWELL had no official knowledge, of the acts
referred to, and he would not presume to judge the motives
of the persons concerned; but he would express his opinion
in the words of the committee that investigated the refusal
of sites to the Free Church of Scotland, that this refusal
was a great hardship to the people, and they strongly urged
on the proprietors the propriety and necessity of conciliat-
ing the people resident on their property.

After some remarks to a similar effect from Col. FRENCH
and Col. DUNNE,
Mr. BOWYER urged on the Government and the house
the necessity of giving opportunity for the discussion of the
Roman Catholic Charities Bill. His wish and desire was
that the Roman Catholic charities should be put under the
tame law as the Protestant charities. There were several
amendments proposed to the bill, and as far as he recollected
there were only two to which he objected. The discussion
might be finished in an hour and a half, and he hoped the
Government would allow it to come on at an early hour.
Sir G. LEWIS said the Government were disposed to
facilitate the progress of this bill as far as the other business
would allow, but he could not fix a day.
After some further conversation the subject dropped, the
motion for adjournment was agreed to, and the house went
into committee of
