passengers respecting the deficient quantity or deteriorated
quality of their provisions.
Mr. BARNARD suggested'the propriety of prohibiting the
employment of vessels in the emigrant service that were
twenty-two years old.
Mr. WARBURTON strongly objected to the restriction.
It would act as a premium on the building of a bad class of
vessels, designed not to last even twenty years. It would be
much safer to trust to the character of each vessel on Lloyd's
List.

Mr. HUME recommended the adoption of the practice of
Government, which caused a strict inspection of vessels that
offered to take troops abroad, and suggested that no vessel
should be allowed to take passengers on board unless similarly
inspected and approved. The age of vessels could never be a
satisfactory guide. He had sailed very safely in a ship seventy-
two years old.
Mr. THORNHILL complained of the clause restricting
the export of spirits in emigrant vessels. He thought a cargo
in pipes or hogsheads as safe as one in bales.
An Hon. MEMBER stated that he had known cases where
the captains had taken out a large stock of spirits, apparently
for exportation, but really to sell to the passengers for their own
profit. In cases where the passengers mutinied, and took the
controul of the vessel into their own hands the presence of
such a stock was particularly dangerous.
Sir G. GREY thought that the only practicable to prevent
these evils was to prohibit the export of any spirits, in vessels
fitted out to take passengers.
Mr. HUME had no objection to impose a penalty on mas-
ters or mates who should sell any spirits to emigrants on a
voyage, but he did not think it just to limit the owners' right
to ship what cargo he pleased.
After a few other observations the Bill then went through

sideration on Wednesday next.

MERCHANT SEAMEN'S BILL.

On the motion for going into Committee on the Hull Mer-
chant Seamen's Fund Bill,
Mr. BETHEL moved as an amendment, that the Bill be
committed that day six months. He proposed this amendment
on the ground that there was a clause in the Bill, which gave
to the Hull Trinity House the disposal of the Fund.

Sir G. CLERK objected to the taking away of the manage..
ment of the Fund from the Hull Trinity House.
Mr. L ABOUCHE RE saw no reason to depart in this case
from the general principle, that those who contribute to any
fund should have some control over it.

Mr. BAINE S supporred the motion.
Sir M. W. RIDLEY opposed it.
After a few words from Mr. HUME, Lord SANDON, and one
or two Hon. Members, the Gallery was cleared for a division,
but the amendment was not pressed,
Some clauses of the Bill were agreed to. The Chairman
reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again.
The report of the Capital Punishments Bill was received.
