IMPERIAL PARLIAELENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING.
The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve &clock.
HYPOTHEC ABOLITION (SCOTLAND) BILL.
Mr. CARNEGIE moved the second reading of this
bill, the object of which was to abolish the law
of hypothec in Scotland. By the law as it at
present existed the landlord had the most extensive
powers. It enabled the landlord, immediately a tenant
entered into the possession of a farm, to sequester the whole
of his farming stock as a security for payment of the rent
when due, and also even the power of fallowing the crops
grown on the lauds, and seizing it to make by any defi-
ciency that might arise, thus infl.ctiug the hardship of
calling upon the p.,,rson who has once purchased it to pay
for it again, to release it from the claim of the lart llord.
fie concealed the time had now arrived when such a law
should ha abolished, and therefore he hoped the house
woe giva its as.,eut to the bill he had brought forward.
Mr. H. 13AILLIE opposed the motion; he did not say
that the law of hypothec did not require alteration, and at
this moment there was a bill on tho labia of the house
with thit obj-ct, and which was fou tiled on the report
of the 'loyal Commissioa. lie therefore moved that th.:,
bill 'O3 rcall a second time that day six months.

BAX nu was of epinionthai: the sooner the sys-
tem of ltypothec, which was the remains of an old feudal
law, was abolished the better.
After a long discussion the house divided, when there

On the motion for going into committee on this bill,

settled all the existinc, law on the subject.
