MANNING THE NAVY.

Lord BROUGHAM inquired whether a commission
had been issued to consider the best means of manning
the navy. The noble lord thought as thecloud had passed
away between this country and France, the present op-
portunity was the best that could be selected for such a
purpose.

The Earl of MALMESBURY said a commission to
inquire into the best way of manning the navy had been
issued. He should be sorry if it was supposed from
the observations of the noble lord that the navy at
the present moment could not be efficiently manned at a
very short notice—(hear, bear)—or that men were not
ready to come forward at the shortest notice to man a
sufficient number of ships to defend the channel. (Hear.)
Lord BROUGHAM was very far from doubting that
there were men ready to come forward. His observa-
tion was that at the present moment the Navy was not
sufficiently manned.
The subject then dropped. ,
LA.W OF FALSE PRETENCES BILL.

Lord BROUGHAM moved the second reading of this
bill.

The LORD CHANCELLOR said he did not intend to
oppose the present bill, but he must remind him that a bill
with a similar object bad been already introduced into
the otber house. He thought the best course would be,
in the event of the bill to which he had alluded passing
the other house, that both bills be then referred to a
select committee.

The bill was read a second time.
PROPERTY QUALIFICA.TION BILL.
The Earl of FORTESCUE moved the third reading
of this bill.

Lord RAVENSWORTH warned their lord-
ships against passing measures of this description, and
he regarded the present bill as a concession to
popular clamour. He considered that the bill,
instead of being satisfactory to the democratic
portion of the public, would only induce
them to make further efforts to obtain the other points of
the People's Charter.
The Earl of CLANCARTY concurred in the obser-
vations of the noble lord who had just sat down. He
considered that the present bill had been hurried through
the house, and that it had not received sufficient con-
sideration. He thought the worst results would follow
the passing of the bill, and the effect would be that the
proper balance between property and democracy would
be thrown down.

(LEFT SPEAKING.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(This Day.)

The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock.
THE MEMBER, FOR GREENWICH.

Mr. FITZROY moved that the adjudication of
bankruptcy against Mr. John Townsend be read by the
Clerk.—Agreed to.
Sir D. LE MARCHANT (the Chief Clerk) then read
the record of adjudication, dated 29th March.

Mr. FITZROY then moved that the 52d George 111.,
chap. 144, be read.
Sir D. LE MARCHANT read the section of the act re-
ferred to, relative to the right of members to sit and
vote in that House after becoming bankrupt.
Mr. FITZROY next moved that Mr. J. Townsend,
a member of that house, having been declared a bank-
rupt, he was incapable of sitting and voting.
Mr. TOWNSEND considered it was his duty towards
his constituents, himself, and the house that he should
offer a few observations in explanation of the votes he
had given on several late occasions and the reasons for
retaining his seat. Since he had had a seat in that
house he had endeavoured to conform to the rules and
regulations. He had never, in a single ins-twice, thrust
himself on the society of any hon. member, and if
he had erred in taking his seat and voting since
the adjudication, he had done so in ignorance,
and not in defiance of the rules of that house. It was

perfectly true that an adjudication in bankruptcy had

been filed against him in consequence of heavy chan-
cery proceedings over which he had no control, and
the persecution of certain individuals, but he hoped
that within a few days, or, at the furthest, within a
few weeks the bankruptcy would be superseded. He
had but one harsh creditor, and he should never rest
until he had paid his debts in full. He submitted
there was a very divided opinion as to his right under
existing circumstances to sit and vote in that house,
and he believed he was justified in his sitting and
voting since the adjudication. It should be the pride
and pleasure as well as the duty of the strong to pro-
tect the weak, and he appealed to the law officers of
the Crown, and hon. members on both sides of the house
that might follow in discussion, to consider well

the legal points unknown to him, and which had been
brought forward in support of the motion. He had
endeavoured to ascertain the law on the point, and he
found great doubts existed. The hon. gentleman
quoted the case of Sir R. Price as one similar to his
own, when the hon. baronet was allowed to sit and vote
after an adjudication in bankruptcy Repeatedly since/the
adjudication he bad received circulars from hon. and
learned members, urging him to attend and vote on
certain questions before the house ; and so late as yes-
terday morning he received from an hon. and learned
member of that house a similar circular. He (Mr.
Townsend), therefore, considered he had acted
right in sitting and voting since the adjudication.
He complained of the conduct of the right hon. gen-
tleman (Mr. Fitzroy) in giving his notice of motion
for a copy of the record of adjudication without
first communicating with him and asking an explanation
of the proceedings ; and he was not aware of it until
it was communicated to him before his voting on the
motion for altering the county franchise. Being in the
hou-e, and haviPg heard the question put, he considered
himself bound to vote on the motion in accordance with

the rules of the house, and he accordingly did so. He
considered the act referred to did not apply to a member
passing through the Bankruptcy Court, but after his
having passed through the court. It was said he ought
to resign the representation of the borough,
but he begged to assure the house there were 30,000
true, honest, and independent men belonging to the
borough of Greenwich who would not allow him to be
put down. They cared not, whether the repre-
sentative was possessed of 50,0001. or 500/.,
a-year. All they cared about was, that he should not
promise on the hustings to undertake more than he
would be ab!e, to the best of his ability, or more than
he was willing, to perform, as their representative in
that House. Where there was so much doubt as in
this case now before the House, he consieered it was his
bounden duty to attend and express by his votes the
opinions of his constituents on the questions that had
come before the House. He would retire during the
discussion of the question before them, and whatever
was the result he should consider himself bound to obey
it. The hon. gentleman then retired.

The SOLICITOR - GENERAL said the House
could not approach the subject without reluctance
and regret. It was a duty, however, which they must
discharge, and he had no possible doubt on the
construction cf the act referred to. The construc-
tion of the act was that an adjudication was a enspeneion
of the functions of a member of parliament during
twelve months subject to this, that any time within the
twelve months he could supersede the bankruptcy or
pay his creditors in full, and on his informing the house
of what he had done he then ipso faro became re-
possessed of his rights as a member of that house.
Should no arrangement of that kind become to at the
expiration of the twelve months the seat would be void.
He supported the motion.

After a few remarks from Mr. J. Fitzgerald, Mr.
Sergeant )3:mesh and Colonel French, the motion was
agreed to.

-Mr. FITZROY moved that the votes given by Mr. J.
Townsend since 7th June last should be disallowed.—
This motion was alas agreed to.

SALE AND TRANSFER OF LAND (IRELAND)

BILL.

On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
Mr. Sergeant DEASEY said compansationishouldfbe
provided in the bill f ir Mr. Flanagan, one of the trus-
tees of the Encumbered Estates Court, who bad for
many years filled the office, and had given up another to
accept it.

Vie ATTORNEY-GENERAL for Ireland said it
was not desirable to make a distinction between Mr.
Flanagan and the other offieers.
After a discussion, in which Mr. J. Fitzgerald, Lord
Naas, Mr. Mousell, Mr. B. Osborne, Colonel French,
Mr. Barrow, and Mr. Horsmaa took part, the house
went into committee on the bill.
Clause 1 and 2 were agreed to.
On clause 3, a question arose whether there should
be three judges of the Court, or only two as provided by
the bill.

The discussion occupied the house till ten minutes to
4 o'clock when by the forms of the hcu3e the sitting was
suspended.

The house resumed at 6 o'clock and was left sitting,
