the bill which had been introduced, although h
Mr. EVANS said he regretted ho could note shutpdponret
objection to clerks ;;o justices being paid by salaries, but he
thought the oouduct of the prosecutions ought to be a part
of their duties.
Mr. LEEMAN said his experience led him to believe
that the bill, instead of being an improvement, would be
an obstacle to the administration of justice.
Mr. SCOUItFIELD and Mr. G. DENMAN opposed the bill.
The bill was eventually negatived without A division,
every member who addressed the house having expressed
opinions against the measure.
VETERINARY SURGEONS' BILL.
Mr. HOLLAND moved the second reading of this bill,
which was to prevent unqualified persons practising the
profession of veterinary surgeon, or assuming the title
without first having the diploma issued by the Royal
Veterinary College. The bill inflicted certain penalties
on all persons who infringed its provisions.
Mr. NE ATE thought the bill a most useful one,

Mr. BRU hoped the house would assent to the proposal.

COMMON LAW COURTS

(IRELAND) BILL.
The second reading of this bill was called in due course
.
but no person rising it was postponed until to-morrow. , COURT OF CHANCERY (IRELAND) BILL.
On the motion for resuming the adjourned debate on
this bill,
Mr. WHITESIDE said he had just entered the house
prepared to discuss the merits of the Common Law Courts
(Ireland) Bill. He found that it bad been postponed, and
he had not now the necessary documents with him to
enable him to speak on the Court of Chancery (Ireland)
bill. He hoped the Attorney-General for Ireland would
not press the proceeding with the measure.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he had informed
his hon. and learned friend that the bill would be taken
that day, and he could not now think it was reasonable to
ask for further delay.
Mr. WHITESIDE thought it was anything but cour-
teous to press the motion forward under such circum-
stances. The Attorney-General for Ireland refused to
assent to further delay, and the hon. and learned gentle-
man (Mr. Whiteside) having availed himself of the tem-
porary absence of the Speaker for a few minutes
to possess himself of the documents he required, the
debate was resumed. The hon. and learned gentleman
proceeded to discuss the merits of the bill, which contained
193 clauses, and condemned, in the first instance, the num-
ber of new appointments proposed in the Irish' Court of
Chancery. No person in Ireland asked for the bill, and
therefore he contended it was altogether unneces-
sary. That it was erroneous in abolishing the Masters
in Chancery, aad creating two Vice-Chancellors, with
staffs almost identical with those which at present existed
in the Master's-office. He contended that the act was one
of those kinds of measures which led to opinions very un-
favourable to those who originated such bills. He moved
that the bill be read a second time that day six months.
Mr. S. B. MILLER seconded the amendment. Ho said
it appeared to him that the Government intended to take
the vote on the second reading without giving any ex-
planation further than the very meagre statement that
was made ou the introduction of the bill. Such a course
was most objectionable, and therefore he trusted the law
officers of the Crown would afford the house some addi-
tional explanation relative to the motives that induced the
introduction of the present bill.
General DUNNE thought it was the duty of the Go-
vernment to afford the information, and in order to give
them an opportunity, he moved that the debate be ad-
journed.
Mr. HENLEY also thought that the Irish law officers
ought to give the information required.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL for IRLELAND said
he was anxious to hear the opinions of hon. members
before ho addressed the house. He contended that on the
I introduction of the measure his right hon. friend the
Attorney-General gave the most perfect and complete
explanations of the provisions of the bill, and he was
astonished to find that a bill which was based
on the unanimous opinion of the legal profes-
sion in Ireland was so strenuously opposed.
The general opinion of all parties in Ireland
was that the course of procedure of the Court of Chancery
in Ireland was bad, that that of England was good, and
therefore the English system should bo extended to Ireland.
The hon. and learned member was addressing the house at
a quarter to six, at which time the debate ceased, in accord-
ance with the standing order.
BANKRUPTCY BILL.
In reply to Mr. AYRTON,
Mr. CHILDERS said at present it was proposed to pro-
ceed with this bill to-morrow, but an application had been
made to the Attorney-General for postponement. If it was
not taken supply would be the first order.
The house then adjourned.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.—On Monday morning, as
the 6.45 a.m. train from Liverpool was on its way
to this city, and just after passing Astley, the guard saw
a gentleman fall from one of the first-class carriages an
strike against a telegraph post. On the arrival of the
train at Ordsal-lane an engine and a truck were sent to
search for him, and he was found lying insensible where
he had fallen. He was taken up and brought to the Man-
chester 11;,yal Infirmary, whoro he remained insensible
the whole of yesterday. It is said that he was on his
way
to Grimsby. There was only one other occupant of the
compartment in which the unfortunate gentleman rode, a
foreigner, whose name and address have, we believe, been
taken by the railway authorities. Upon inquiring at the
infirmary last evening we ascertained that the sufferer
was Mr. Nathan Goldbaum, of Chestnut-street Liverpool,
and that ho had sustained injuries to the back and head.
Mr. Goldbaum revived about five o'clock, and when asked
feltcidaent occurred, said he was reading a
