IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT,

HOUSE OF CONDIONS.—(TIis Day.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at 12, e'e'erer.
MEDICA PI;:eCTI-Z.l.jielSteS BILL.
inerien for going into committee on this bill,
Mr. T. BUNCOMBE asked the house to postpone
the further consideration of the bill. It slipped through
a secoed reading in consequence of the mistake of the
hon. member for E tinburgh (Mr. Black) in not moving
at the proper time a specific motion for its rejecion.
He moved the committal of the hill this day six months.
The bill was disliked generally throughout the country,
Omagh it was supported by the Colleges of Surgeons and
Physicians.
Mr. COWPER said the petitions that had been
presented in its favour showed that a large number of
the medical profession approved of it.
Mr. HEADLAM would support the motion for going
into committee, but he thought it would be impossible to
pass the bid this session, unless a spirit of conciliation
was displayed.
Mr. HADFIELD thought there was not much chance
of the bill passing this session.
Mr. WALPOLE considered the house should go into
committee on the bill. If the objections to the bill
could not then be got over, he would be prepared to
s uggest the best course to be pursued.
Aft; r some remarks from Lord ELCHO and Mr. BLACK,
the house divided. The numbers were :
For going into committee
Against it
Majority
The house then went into committee.
Clauses 1 and 2 were agreed to.
On clause 3,
Mr. T. BUNCOMBE suggested that this, and the
clauses up to 41, which established or provided for the
expenses of the act, should be postponed till the com•
mittee had disposed of clause 41. It was right the house
and the country should know what would be the cost of
this " quackery," for such the bill was. If the forms of
the house precluded his postponing them in a lump, he
should move the postponement cfause by clause. He
moved the postponement of clause 3.
Mr. CO WPER said the clauses were so framed that no
demand would be made on the public exchequer for its
working. This was -not a fair way to attack the bill,
end he hoped the hon. gentleman would not press his
motion and thereby impede the progress of the bill.
Mr. AA RTON asked his hon. friend not to press his
metier'. He had meet tained from many members of the
medical profession that the profession generally were
favourable to the measure. fie believed the bill would
' be advantageonS to the people.
Mr. lIATCIIELL said the medical profession in Ire-
' land were favouraelete the passing of the measure. He
hoped the hon. gentleman would withdraw his motion.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS said it was of the utmost im-
portance the committee should know the expense of
working the bill, and if it was to be taken from the
public purse. He had heard an enormous sum men-
tioned as likely to b 3 required over and above the fees to
be takeis under it. Every bill (with the exception of
the Attorney-General for Ireland's last bill) for improv-
ing anything laid hold of the public taxes. He hoped
the hon. member for Finsbury would press his motion.
If the medical profession wanted a bill of this kind, let
them pay for it, and not the public.
Mr. BLACK considered there would be abundance
of money to pay the expenses from the fees that would
be received under the bill.
Mr. HADFIELD complained that the bill excluded
the professors of hydropathy and honlce)pathy.
Mr. T. BUNCOMBE said he should press his motion
unless he had an answer to his question.
Mr. WALPOLE said he agreed with the hon. member
that the public money ought not to be charged with any
of the expenses of this measure. • As he read the bill the
clauses would throw a charge on the exchequer, and he
thought they ought to give the colleges power to im-
pose fees sufficient to pay the expenses. The whole
frame-work of the bill proceeded on the assumption
that the fees would be sufficient to pay the expenses,
and clause 41 proposed to allow the Government
to advance sufficient money until the fees were enough
to pay the expenses. He thought it would have been
better it the 41st clause had not been inserted, and
when they came to that clause he should oppose it.
Mr. T. DUNCOMBE asked the hon. member (Me.
Cowper) if he still persisted in his intention to retain
the 41st claus4
Mr. CO WPER said he would omit the clause after
what had been said by the Home Secretary.
The amendment was th,n withdrawn and the clause
was agreed to.
