THE ORGAN NUISANCE.
The Marquis of WESTMEATH presented a petition,
signed by 400 householders residing in Belgravia and
Pimlico, praying for the suppression of the barrel-organ
nuisance in the streets of the metropolis. The noble
marquis said the nuisance of which the petitioners com-
plained had reached such a point that a legislative en-
acim..t was loudly called for. The police seemed to
treat the matter with perfect indiffercnc:, and
he thought persons residing in the respectable
thoroughfares should be protected against such
offensive and annoying conduct as was persevered in
by the 'persons who were employed by the proprietors of
organs.
Viscount DUNGANNON said be thought the noble
marquis had made much ado about nothing. He thought
it was unseemly that the time of their lordships should
be occupied in discussing a question of such an insignifi-
cant nature.
The petition was ordered to lie on the table.
SECOND READINGS.

Lord REDESDALE moved—" That this house do
not read any bill a second time after Tuesday, July 27,
except bills of aid or supply, or any bill in relation to
which the house shall have resolved, before the
second reading is moved, that the circum-
stances which render legislation on the subject of the
same expedient are either of such recent occurrence or
real urgency as to render the immediate consideration
of the same necessary."—Agreed to.
Their lordships then adjourned.
