MEETINGS 'IN ROYAL PARKS BILL.

The Earl of DERBY said that the pressure of important
business had been so great that they had not been able to
bring in a bill on this subject, but that they would very
sbortly do so, and he, therefore, asked his noble friend
(Lord Redesdale) to postpone his motion.
Lord REDESDALE, after commenting on the import-
ance of the question being settled, agreed to postpone the

motion.
CHRIST CHURCH (OXFORD) ORDINANCES BILL.
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY moved tho second

After a few other unimportant remarks, the Bill was

CONSECRATION OF CHURCHYARDS BILL.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAsT EVENING.
The Speaker took the chair at two o'clock.
REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL.

On the bringing up of the report of the committee on this
bill a discussion took place on various matters of detail,
none of which involved any particular point of importance
in the bill, and the consideration of the clause conferring
the franchise on lodgers.
Mr. BOUVERIE made a somewhat lengthy statement,
the effect of which was that he considered it inexpedient
to confer the franchise on persons in such a position.
The result, however, was that the amendment of the
Chancellor of the Exchequer, which was merely to clearly
define that lodgers should be of full age and subject to no
legal incapacity before they should be entitled to vote, was
agreed to.
Mr. TAYLOR moved an amendment to the clause, the
effect of which was to secure the vote to lodgers changing
their place of residence.
The CHANCELLOR-of the EXCHEQUER said he was
of opinion that the proposal would be inexpedient because
it went to the extent of giving the vote t) lodgers in sue-

cession.
The proposed amendment was rejected.
Mr. AYRTON moved the following addition to clause
s:—" Where, after the 29th day of September next, any
premises in any borough are let for a less period than one
year, or the rent reserved in respect thereof is made payable
at any shorter period than three months, the owner as
well as the occupier shall be rated to the relief of the poor,
and shall be liable to pay the rates in respect thereof, with-
out prejudice to any contract between the owner and oc-
cupier regarding their liability as between themselves to the
payment of such rates. The person receiving the
rent of any premises from the occupier or occupiers
thereof on his own account, or as agent or receiver for
any corporation or person under disability interested
therein, shall, for the purposes aforesaid be deemed and be
rated as the owner of the premises." The hon. gentleman
saidj the object in doing so was to prevent the
owner of premises such as he described of making
such an arrangement as to letting them for shorter periods
than one year, whereby he could utterly set at defiance the
rate collector. The adoption of the clause in no way in-
terfered with the actual exercise of the franchise. Neither
would affect the question of composition.
The SPEAKER decided that the question could not be
put at this stage of the bill," as it would be putting a
charge upon curtain persons. It could not be entertained
then. It ought to have beenl submitted to the com-
mittee.
The consideration of a number of technical and verbal
amendments to the bill occupied the attention of the house
up to seven o'clock, at which hour the sitting was sus-
pended.
On the reassembling of the house at nine o'clock, the
orders first on the paper,were postponed for the purpose
of resuming the consideration of the amended Reform BilL
Mr. LOWTHER moved to strike out from clause 46 the
concluding words, which provided that no person should
bo entitled to vote at an election for the city of Oxford or
town of Cambridge in respect of the occupation of
chambers or premises in any of the colleges or halls of
either University. The effect of adopting the amendment
would be to give to lodgers in the university—say of
Oxford—the privilege of voting for the city of Oxford.
Mr. CARDWELL- supported the cause, contending
that the university and the town bad always been separate
bodies. •'• •
Mr. Secretary HARDY was prepared to vote for the
amendment, in deference to what ho believed to be the
wish of the university.
Mr. Neate and Sir R. Palmer spoke in favour of the
clause, and Sir H. Heathcote against it.
The house having divided, the amendment was carried
by 145 to 84. amid Ministerial cheering.
