Mr. HUNT gave notice of his intention to present a

ie gaoler, on Monday next.
Sir CHARLES WETHERELL moved for certain re-
urns relative to fire insurances —Ordered.
Mr. O'CONNELL rose to present two petitions from
he Councils of Political Unions,—but, being only signed
by the Chairman and Secretary, they were objected to by
the Speaker, and the Learned Gentleman withdrew them.
Mr. HUNT said, that in consequence of what had
aken place while he was in the country, he would renew
his motion for the 26th June, for the abolition of the Corn
Laws. He saw by the papers that the Noble Lord (Milton)
had come to some arrangement with the House by which his
motion was postponed. He expected something of that
sort would take place, and therefore he had given his
notice, which, through some mistake, had been taken out
of the book ; he begged that it might be replaced in its
original position.
Mr. O'CONNELL, seeing the Hon. Member the Un-
der-Secretary for the Home Department in his place, begged
to draw his attention to a statement contained in the
Morning Herald. It purported to he a report of proceed-
ings that took place at Hatton-garden Police Office, and he
would say that, if true, it was a most gross piece of bar-
barity, both on the part of the police and the Magistrate.
It was the case of a poor woman who was selling
a few nuts on the street, when she was attacked by a
policeman—her basket and goods thrown about on the
street, and herself struck and abused, and afterwards
taken before a Magistrate, who fined her—a poor
woman who was only endeavouring to maintain her
sick husband and four children in an honest manner. It
further appeared, that when before the Magistrate, a wit-
ness came for ward in her behalf, who was grossly insulted by
him. He did not see that it was proper for any Magistrate
so to act. He wished to bring the case under the notice
of the Government, and if be did not receive some satis-
factory explanation he would feel it his duty to bring it
formally before the House.

Mr. LAMB had seen the statement alluded to by the
Hon. and Learned Gentleman, but it was very much
exaggerated in the papers, and he was sorry to see that
many of the newspapers lent themselves to make gross
charges against the police force. The facts of the
case, as reported to him were these :—Hatton-garden
was •ery peculiar ly situated, being the boundary between
the City and Westminster, and there a great many persons
of the same class as this woman ware in the
habit of vending their fruit, &c. which was much
complained of by the inhabitants ; and it was
not till after repeated complaints were made, that the
magistrates gave orders that the police should put a stop
to them, and clear the place. He was quite ready to
admit that this was a law which ought not to
be enforced with rigour, but the complaints were so nu-
merous that it was absolutely necessary that the police should
interfere in this instance. The woman, with many other
persons of her sort, was selling her nuts there that day.
It was said by Mr. Lewin, who had come forward
in her behalf, that the policeman ought to have
told her to go away; but the fact was, that o❑
two different occasions on that same day, be had done so,
and on returning a third time, in place of going away
peaceably, she struck the policeman before he in-
terfered at all. The Newspapers omitted one very
important fact, namely, that a very respectable work-
ing man came forward, quite unsolicited, and on
his oath stated that the policeman had acted
with the greatest propriety. The language put into the
Magistrate's mouth was much exaggerated, but he (Mr.
L.) had no hesitation in saying that he had used words
which he would much rather he had not used, and which
were disgraceful from the Bench. He had fined the woman,
but, on a little reflection, had discharged her.
Mr. O'CONNELL was glad to hear the latter words of
the Right Hon. Gentleman, and hoped they would be con-
veyed to the magistrate.
Sir E. SUGDEN regretted the harshness of the law,
but Magistrates and the police were obliged to do their
duty. It was very advisable however that that duty
should be performed in as mild a manner as possible.
Mr. O'CONNELL thought it a great protection to the
poor and to the public generally, that the newspapers gave
such reports.

Mr. HUNT complained that such reports were very
partial, and much to be blamed.
Lord ALT HORP moved the Order of the Day for the
House to resolve itself into a Committee on the Scotch
Reform Bill.
•

Before the question was put,
Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET inquired what had
become of the Bill which several months ago bad passed
that House, and which, referring to the supervision of
Asylums, bad been sent to the other House of Parliament ?
Mr. LAMB would be sorry if the Bill referred to fell
through, but although it was not a Government Bill, he
would make inquiry after it.
The SPEAKER then put the motion, and

lilt. PRINGLE rose to bring forward his proposition,
that the classification of the Scotch Burghs be referred to
a Select Committee.

Lord ALTHORP was of opinion that the question
would be much better settled by a Committee of the whole
House than by a Select Committee. The main principle
had been to disturb the present distribution of Scotch
burghs as little as possible; and it would be far better for
those Hon. Members who had any objections to the mode
of distribution proposed to be adopted to make those ob-
jections when the question came regularly before the
House.

The motion was then negatived without a division; and
the House resolved itself into Committee on the

SCOTCH REFORM BILL.

Mr. BERNAL in the Chair.
Clause 48, as amended, was ordered to stand part of the
Bill. . _ _

Clause 49 was omitted, having been otherwise provided

The CHAIRMAN then read schedule A containing a
list of counties to return one Member each ; and upon
arriving at the county of Perth,
Sir GEORGE MURRAY rose to move, according to
previous notice, that the county of Perth be not die.
membered for the purpose of adding to the constituency
of any other county. It was not necessary for him to
trouble the House relative to the dismemberment of the
county of Argyle, as he understood that had been
abandoned by his Majesty's Ministers. But it appeared
to him that a great injustice was about to be done
to ►he county of Perth by this part of the Bill. And he
felt it his duty to resist it, not only as representative for
that county, hut on a broader ground—that of opposing a
principle which was for the first time introduced. This
was the only instance in the measure of Reform
either for England, Ireland, or Scotland, in which a part
of a county had been cut off for the purpose of annexing
it to and adding to the constituency of two adjoining
counties —(Hear.) If any such proposal had been
made in the case of the English Bill, he ventured to affirm
it would have been objected to, and effectually resisted in
the strongest manner. He could not, therefore, under-
stand why a principle should be applied to Scotland which
would have been rejected, if attempted to be applied to Eng-
land. It was a principle which, if adopted, would lead to
dangerous consequences, and might alter and destroy all the
original boundaries of counties throughout the kingdom.
He could not understand why addition should be made to
one county at the expense of another ; and by the present
clause it was proposed to take from the county of Perth,
for the purpose of adding Kinross to Clackmannan. If it
had been proposed to detach from all counties whatever
portions should be disconnected,he should have no objection.
He hoped the Noble Lord opposite would take this sub-
ject into his serious consideration, and would ultimately
abandon the objectionable parts of the claim.

(LErr 4EAKING.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The Earl of WICKLOW presented a petition from
Tullamore, and another from another place, in favour of
the King's County Aasize Bill.
Mr. BARING and other Members of the House of Com-
mons brought up the Consolidated Fund Bill.
The Earl of WICKLOW moved the second reading of the
King's County Assize Bill, and that it be committed on
Monday next.

On the motion of Lord ROSEBERY, the whole
House resolved itself into a Comittee on the Bill for
enabling the Scotch Representative Peers to qualify
in Ireland; and after a slight verbal alteration, proposed
by the Noble Lord, which
was agreed to, the report was
ordered to be received on Monday next.
The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition in fa-
vour of the Anatomy Bill.
Lord KING presented a petition from the inhabitants
of Chester, complaining that the corporation property was

Earl RODEN presented a petition front the City of
Oxford, very numerously signed, praying their Lordships
o revise the Penal laws, by which the punishment of
lead] was enacted, with a view to their amelioration.
Ilse Noble Earl also presented petitions, principally from
ulaces in Ireland, against the new system of education in..
roduced into Ireland.
The Duke of RICHMOND moved that the Postmaster
and Clerk of the Peace of Derby, Stafford, Monmouth,
Oxford, and some other places, be ordered to attend at
the Bar of the House on the 23d instant, for not having
furnished certain returns, to which on a former night he
had adverted, should those returns not be supplied in the
interim.
