PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

In the LORDS' last night the second reading of the subscrip-
tion to the Thirty-nine Articles Bill was deferred till Tuesday.
The Loan Society's Bill was read a second time. The Duke
of RICHMOND gave notice, that he should on Monday next
move for certain returns relative to the Post-office, for the
purpose of answering some mis-statements made in the other
House respecting his patronage when Postmaster-General.
The same Noble Duke, on bringing up the Report of the
Prisons Regulation Bill, moved the insertion of a clause, pro-
viding that prisoners whose term of confinement expired on the
Sunday should, after the passing of this Act, be liberated the
preceding day. The clause was added, and the third reading
the Bill fixed for Monday.
In the CommoNs', the Medway Navigation Bill was with-
drawn. After a short discussion on a petition from Colonel
BRADLEY, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE gave notice of a motion for a
Select Committee on the subject. A motion of Mr. WALTER
for Returns relative to the money advanced to the Thames
Tunnel Company, and the probabilities of the success of the
undertaking, was agreed to. In reference to the distress
which prevails in some parts of Ireland, Lord MORPETH said
the Government were doing all they could to afford relief.
The Address for abolishing lay patronage in Scotland was
withdrawn by Mr. A. JOHNSTONE. Mr. S. RICE, in answer
to a question, said that he could not, at present, fix the
time at which he would bring forward the Budget. He •
should do so at as early a period as possible. The House
having resolved itself into a Committee of Supply, was al-
most wholly occupied during the remainder of the night in
discussing the Miscellaneous Estimates. The second read-
ing of the Election Expenses, &c., Bill (of which an out-
line will be found in another column) was, after some op-
position and two divisions, carried, and ordered to be com-
mitted on Thursday. The House adjourned at half-past one.

PARLIAMENTARY PAPER.

A BILL to define and regulate the Expenses of Elections,
to limit the duration of the Poll, and to abolish the qualifica-
tion of Members of Parliament for England and Wales.
This Bill, which was prepared and brought in by Mr.
Hume, Lord John Russell, and Mr. Aglionby, containing
only 35 clauses, is perhaps one of the most important that has
been before the House during the session. By the 31st clause,
it is enacted that no qualification of estate shall be neces-
sary to enable a man to take his seat for any place for which
he may be returned as a Member of the Commons' House.
In Scotland, no property qualification is required to serve
as a Member of Parliament.

This Act is meant to apply to England and Wales alone,
nor is it to extend to either of the Universities of Oxford or
Cambridge.

There-are several wholesome provisions in the Bill to di-
minish election expenses, and to relieve the individual from
the burden that should of right be borne by the community
whom he is to serve in Parliament ; with certain specified
limitations respecting the amount, it is provided that the
Sheriff or Returning Officer shall be reimbursed for all ex-
penses by the overseers, out of the Poor Rates.
Polling is limited to one day.
Many of the usual expenses attendant on election proceed-
ings, such, for instance, as those of conveying electors to the
poll, and of entertaining them, are declared illegal ;. penalties
are fixed, and an easy mode of recovering them is pointed out.
The various demands, too, made on candidates by Sheriffs,
returning officers, assessors, &c., as well as any gratuity what-
ever, are by the Act made unlawful ; and the payment of any
such expenses voids the Return.

Rettu:ns not to be liable to stamp-duty.
• Election expenses were diminished by the Reform Bill,
and if this Act pass into a law they will be still further di-
minished.

Provision is made with reference to the manner in which
booths (there are to be at least one for every three hundred
voters) are to be paid for; and also for their situation, num-
ber, and erection. In case of riot the Bill contemplates an
adjcurnment to the following day.
A 501. penalty, in any Court of Record, is to be incurred by
any person voting at an election who shall have been em-
ployed in any capacity whatever in connexion with the elec-
tion, either during such election, or six months before, pro-
vided the action for recovery be commenced within 12 months
after the commission of ,the offence.
All oaths except the Bribery Oath are abolished.
To some counties a separate jurisdiction is given with re-
spect to the expenses of booths; and at Monmouth, and at
some Welsh boroughs they are respectively to discharge the
expenses attendant upon the contested elections, and to be re-
paired by the Overseers, according to the regulations provided
for cities and boroughs in England.
The Statute of 7 and 8 Geo. IV., against Bribery, &c , is
declared to be still in force.

ISLINGTON MARKET.

The following are the questions put to the Judges, and their
answers. They are referred to in our Parliamentary Reprirt
QUESTIONS.
" A Charter was granted by King Edward 111, to the Cor-
poration of the Borough of A, with these words (Inter alia)
quod nullum mercatum infra septem leucas in circuitu Burgi
mdicti per nos vel hmredes nostras alicui coneedatur.
" The Corporation bath continued to hold, as before it had
been holden by prescription, a market in Blackacre, and to take the profits thereof.
" A Charter is now granted to B. by the Crown 'of a
market to be holden in Whiteacre, within less than seven
miles distance from Blackacre.
" Ist. Is this second grant contrary to the first, wad may it
be repealed by sci. fa., as contrary thereto ?
" 2. The same question—Whiteacre being less than seven
miles distant from the borough of A ?
"3. In either of the said cases can it be pleaded, or in any
way taken into consideration, that the benefit of the public re-
quired a new market to be holden, other than markets holden
by the Corporation of A, and within less than seven miles froth
these markets or from said Borouen ?
" OPINION.
" I am to acquaint your Lordships that my Learned P,re-
thren and myself, in considering the questions propournied to
us by your Lordships, assume that it is proposed to a,sk the
first and second question with reference to holding the new
market at the same times with the old.
" The Judges are agreed, that if this clause ade.ts any prohi-
bition other than that which is attached by the common law to
the grant of a market, it is void ; for there is no, consideration
for such restriction, nor any additional benefit conferred upon
the subject; that it is a prohibition imposed in respect of an old.
right, without a new consideration.
" The establishment of a new market to be holden at th 0
same times within the common law distance of an old market,
prima facie is injurious to the old market, and therefore void.
" The Judges also state to your Lordships, that they are of
opinion that the circumstance mentioned in the third quctstion,
viz., that the benefit of the public required a new market to be
holden other than markets already holden by the firs;; grantee,
would not of itself warrant the grant of such new mroket,'.
