WILLS AND AbIIINISTRATIONS BILL.
This bill went into committee pro forma, and was or-
dered to be printed.

EDUCATION (SCOTLAND) BILL.
On the question of the resumption of the adjourned de-
bate (June 2) on the second reading of this bill,
The LORD-ADVOCATE said that, although he believed
this to be a good and useful bill, yot it appeared to be not,
good enough or useful enough to be likely to pass this ses-
sion. He would therefore move that the order for the
second reading be discharged. (Hear.)
Motion agreed to, and bill withdrawn.

BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY (IRELAND)

ILL,

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved that this bill be
read-a second time.

MA.CARTAY hoped that the bill would not be
pressed at that time of night (a quarter to 1 o'clock). He
moved that the bill be read a second time that dcy six
months.

Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD said maple time had been
given for the consideration of the bill. No objection'had
been made to it, and he therefore hoped the house would
allow it to be read a second time.
'Mr. CAIRNS recommended its withdrawal for the pre-
sent session, as there was no reasonable prospect of its
passing, and there were several objections to it. (Rear.)
Mr. VANCE and Colonel FRENCH also urged its post.
ponement until next session : but

The amendment was negatived without a division, and
the bill was read a second time.

DWELLINGS FOR. LABOURING CLASSES (IRE-

LAND) BILL.
On the third reading of this bill being move 1,
Col. GREVILLE objected to it as being of too stringent
a character. 'I be bill was now made applicable to yearly
tenancies, and provided that in case of refuse not being
disposed in certain places, or in the event of the premises
being damaged, the more service of a summons should ter-
minate the occupancy. He moved as an amendment that
the bill be read a third time that day three months.
Mr. DE VERE seconded the amendment, which was
supported by Mr. M'MA.,,ON.
Sir W. SOMERVILLE said, the point had been already
discussed in committee. The provision referred to was in-
tended to encourage habits of order and cleanliness. If

any noisanee was placed in the neighbourhood of a dwell-
ing, and was not reruove i after the receipt of a summons
with three days' notice, the tenantry was to cease.
Mr. G. HAMILTON thought the right hon. baronet
(Sir W. Somerville) was entitled to credit for the intro-
duction of a measure which might be considered one of
the few attempts made to better the condition of the
labouring classes in Ireland.
The house divided, and the numbers were—
For the third reading . 85
Against
Majority for the third reading —66
The bill was then real a third time and passed.
The Metropolis Local Management Act Amendment Bill
was read a second time.

MARRIAGE LAW (SCOTLAND) AMENDMENT

BILL.

Sir J. GRA.HA.III, in moving the second reading of this
bill, said it had been brought down from the other house
having been there introduced by Lord Brougham. He
and his noble friend, living on the borders, had both been
witnesses of the evil effects of the present system of border
marriages. Within the last year there had been no less
than 1,000 marriages at Gretna, and he believed the case
was much the same on the Berwick and Coldstream side.
This system of marriages was productive of seduction,
bigamy, and bastardy to a large extent among the humbler
classes, and the evil consequences generally fell on the
women. If a woman had money the marriage was held by
the husband to be valid ; if not she was abandoned. He
knew of a case in which a man had contracted four mar-
riages of this sort. The bill did not proceed by way of
penalties, but rendered such marriages invalid unless the
parties had been resident in Scotland foi at least a fort-
night. The Government, he believed, had no objection to
the principle of the bill, and whatever difference there
might be as to its details would be amply discussed in com-
mittee.

After a few words from the LORD ADVOCATE and Mr.
DUNLOP.

The bill was read a second time.
The Hospitals (Dublin) Bill passed through committee
pro forma
CHURCH-RATES ABOLITION BILL. _

Upon the motion of Sir W.—CLAY, the order for the
third reading of the bill was discharged, after a few words
from Mr. HADFIELD condemnatory of the conduct of the
Government.

The Coathana Marriagei Validity Bill, the Smoke Nui-
sance Abatement Act Amendment Bill, and the Court of
Exchequer (Scotland) Bill, were severally read a third
time and passed.
The Vaccination Bill passed through committee pro
forma.

Mr. J. D. FITZGERALD obtained leave to introduce
the following bills :—Bill to amend the law and practice of
the Court of Chancery in Ireland in relation to the ap-
pointment of receivers over-real estate, and to expedite the
sale of estates in the said court ; bill to extend the period
for applying for a sale under the acts for facilitating the
sale and transfer of encumbered estates in Ireland, and to
amend the said act; and a bill to constitute a Court of
Appeal in Chancery. and to amend the law relating to ap-
peals
from the Incumbered Estates Court in Ireland.

Mr. WILSON obtained leave to introduce a bill to per-
mit the use of rice in the distillation of spirits.
The house adjourned at a quarter to 2 o'clock.
