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
postponeort-
ance of the question being settled, agreed to the
motion.

LEFT SITTINGI.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—TuII DAT.
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 ho 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 suc-
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 lot for a less period than one
year, or the rent reserved in respect thereof is made payable
at any shorter period than three months, tho 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-
eupierregardiug their liability as between theinselves
receiving to
tho
the
payment of such rates. The person
rent of any premises front 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 deomed and be
rated as the owner of the premises." The hon. gentleman
said 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 defiancesaltiorterer the
than one year, whereby he could utterly set
