THE IRISH CHURCH. DEBATE IN THE HOUSE
Lol; vs.
Mr. MILBANK said bo„wished to put a question on a
point of order; it NV 3 3 whaller any ap,logy or redress
could bo dcmatoled in the nous° of Co unions front a peer
who, in his place in the Huns() of Lords, uses language of
an insul.ing nature to the Prime Minister as the tinder of
a great party, and insulting to the digaity of the House of
Commons.
The SPEAKER; said it was necessary that the hon.
member t,hould give notices of his intention to do so.
Mr. MILBANK sail be wished to put the question pn
a po.nt of order awl privilege.
The SPEAR Eli informed the bon. rwmber that it was
neither a point of order nor a point of privilege, and such
a question as that of the Lou. member could not with pro-
iety be addressed to him. The hon. member ought to
be aware that this house is not supposed to be cognizant
of anything that passed iu the course of any debate which
took place in another place, but quite the ceutrary,

The bill was then read a second time.
SPECIAL AND COMMON JURIES BILL.
Lord ENFIELD moved the second reading of this bill.
He said he felt it would be impossible to carry the bill
during the present session, but he wished just to make
known what woro the recommendations of the commis-
sion that had sat upon the subject. They were of
opinion that the qualification for common jurors in
civil cases, in places of 20,000 inhabitants, should
bo a house rated at £6O per annum, and in
other places £3O. For special jurors the rating should be
£lOO and £6O, and that the common juror should receive
payment at the rate of 10s. a day, and special jurors 20s.
Mr. GRAVES hoped that the bill would not be pressed.
as there was no chance of its becoming law during the
present session. Ile complained that common councilmen
volunteer officers, and others were not exempted from ser-
vice on juries.

After a short discussion, in which Mr. Young, Mr. G
Gregory, Mr. Lusk, and Mr. Hillhouse took part,

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL admitted the existence of
many grievances in connection with the present jury laws.
Common jurors were generally men who could least afford
to give up their time, and it was a great hardship they
should be treated differently from special jurors.
An HON. MEMBER hoped the interests of jurors in cri-
minal cases would not be overlooked. (Hear, hoar.)
Mr. HENLEY thought the bill ought to be in the
bands of the Government, as it was too extensive to be
carried out with success by a private member.
The bill was tLln read a second time, and the commit-
Tontb.

HORRIBLE DEGRADATION OF A WIFE.—A very genteel-
ooking well-grown young woman, apparently about 25
years of age, came to the Court this morning, and, address-
ing Mr. Arnold, the presiding m tgistrate, said " Am
I bound, sir, to support my husband by prostitution ?
Mr. Arnold—Certainly not.

Applicant —1 am a married woman, azid I havo boa
compelled to keep my husband in that way for some

Mr. Arnold—What is your husband ?
Applicant--A cuac!nnan ; but ho won't work, and c-)m-
-pels me to the shocking course of life I have spoken of to
maintain him.
Mr. Arnold—Had you followed this sort of life before
you were married?
Applicant—No, sir; I was a prudent respectable gill,
and he married me from my home.
Mr. Arnold—When wore you married to him ?
Applicant—The 11th of last February. The threats my
husband uses towards me are very serious, because I will
not pursue this infamous course of life.
Mr. Arnold—What noes he say ?
Applicant—That my life shall be short when he catches
hold of me.
Mr. Arnold—You have left him then ?
Applicant—Yes ; I refused to do what he wished, and
left him.
Mr. Arnold—Has he ever assaulted you?
Applicant—He has frequently knocked me about.
Mr. Arnold—Do you go in fear of him ?
Applicant— Ido; I am afraid of him. I dread to go out
in case he should waylay and injure me.
Mr. Arnold directed the cowp:ainant to be sworn, and
ssued the process of the court with a view to the young
woman's protection.

torious burglars and thieves, named Henry Sullivan, aged
24 years, William Reynolds, 27, and William Gibbs, 26,
were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with burglarously
breaking and entering the residence of Mr. Charles Hope
Bancombe, physician and surgeon, of No. 4, York-place,
Bow-road, and stealing therefrom a microscope in cane,
value -£:10, a cap, a silver toast rack, four silver
spoons, a scarf, two table spoons (silver), two
table covers, a pair of boots, a coat, and some other
property, value in all about £lOO. There were several
other charges against the prisoners, who lately took a
house in the vicinity of Dr. Bancomo's residence and
surgery, and since then a great many gentlemen's resi-
dences, including Pr. Bancombe's residence, was entered
by violence a few nights since and the property above
mentioned stolen. A largo portion of the plunder, in-
cluding the microscope and case, was found in the
dwelling occupied by the prisoners. A cap, ithntified by
Dr. Rancombe's nephew, was found in the same place.
Samuel Marsden, police sergeant 13 K, found a largo
quantity of linen stolen from another house and house-
breaking implements, were found in a house, 4, Went-
worth-road, occupied by the prisoners. A man named
Henry Buonaparte Anderson, of No. 51, Went-
worth - road, had often observed the prisoners
and a female confederate. He had seen Gibbs go in and
out of the house within the last fortnight.
Inspector Kerressey believed he had fallen upon a gang
of burglars, who had committed extensive depredations.
The house taken by the prisoners in the Wentworth-
road, was only 50 yards from Dr. Bancombe's surgery.
When Reynolds was brought to the statioa-house, he said,
"So help —I had nothing to do with Dr. Bancombe's
affair; the other fellow just gone was the man who did it.'
Sullivan Laid to Reynolds "Did you say that ; you did it
yourself ; ob, Sou liar."
Reynolds hire asked the inspector—" Did 1 not call
Sullivan a demon ?"
Kerressey - You might have done so.
