and whether it was the intention of the Government, by
imposing a stamp upon contract notes, to legalise gambling
transactions.

Lord PALMERSTON said, that as direct reference had
been made to the part ha took in the passing of the act for
putting down gambling-houses, he would address a few
observations to the house. It was known that there was
an act of the Legislature by which every person who laid a
wager on a Lorse race was liable to a aui tam action, and
even the hon. gentleman's own relative (the late Lord
George Bentinck) was sued by such a form of action. Ile
(Lord Palmerston) was Chairman of the Committee before
which that question was brought, and they were of opini°l'
that the act, which was obsolete, ought no longer to remain
on the statute-book: Now, taking lag matter as the
gentleman viewed it, he (Lord Palmerston) was of opinion
that it came to the same state as horse-racing, and that the
law ought to be altered and amended. hon.

The clause was then negatived.
The bill was then ordered to be read a third time this
day.

BANKRUPT LAW (SCOTLAND) AMENDMENT
BILL.
This bill passed through committee.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS BILL.
This bill, as amended, was considered, and the amend-
ments agreed to.

The house then adjourned at a quarter-past 12 o'clock•
