KILKENNY TRIALS.

The NOBLE EARL next asked Lord Melbourne whether
he was prepared to lay before their Lordships any docu•
ments which might enable them to judge for themselves
the grounds en which the Irish Attorney-General induced
the Court to postpone the trial of the prisoners arraigned
for trial for capital offences at Kilkenny.
Lord MELBOURNE could not then give an answer to
the question. If the Noble Earl gave notice of a motion
for such papers, he should be prepared to give him an
ansn•rr.

Earl GREY and the LORD CHANCELLOR were of opi-
nion, that ,uch information as that sought for by the
Noble Earl could not be produced, as it would be impos-
sible'to say where it would end. They had it for a fact,
that the Attorney-General of Ireland, and the Judges of
Assize at Kilkenny, had thought it right to postpone for
the present the trial of certain prisoners ; and with that
fact they were hound to be satisfied, as otherwise no com-
munication, however secret, or minute, or confidential,
made to, or by, the Attorney. General, but would fall under
the scope of the Noble Eras inquiry.
The Earl of WICKLOW would not then found a mo-
tion on the subject, though feeling strongly that some ad-
ditional information was necessary.
AGRICULTURAL LABOURERS' EMPLOYMENT
BILL.
_ _

Lord KENYON moved the order of the day for the
Committee of this Bill. The object, he stated, was to re-
►ieve the wants and provide profitable employment for the
distressed agricultural poor by tl.e cultivation of waste
lands, and allotment of small portions of land to the indi-
vidual wants of the labourer in the manner acted upon so
advantageously by two Right Rev. Prelates (the Bishops
of Bath and Wells and Winchester) opposite, and so elo-
quently advocated in the most influential portion of the
periodical Press. The object of the Bill was to give to
the poor one-seventh of all commons and wastes to be en-
closed.

The Duke of NORTHUMBERLAND had no objection
to the principle of the Bill ; and so far as Northumber-
land went, there were large tracts of land which, during
the wars had been converted to tillage, and which were
now again under grass, that might be usefully employed
in this way. There were, however, rights of Lords of
Forests and others which would require great care in the
wording of the Bill.
The Earl of CARNARVON said, that in these Enclo•
sure Bills it would be impossible to have allotments of
land made to labourers close to their cottages, and in his
opinion small allotments of good land close to the poor
men's houses would be far better than greater allotments
of poor and b irren land at a distance.
Lord SUFFIELD said that large portions of land were
not to be given by
to the poor man's pottage, and this he conceived would be
the Bill, but merely small portions close
highly beneficial to the cottagers and labourers.
11,e Bishop of BATH and WELLS objected to one
portion of the Bill,narnely, that which would give to a

noor man as large a quantity as two acres of land, which
it would be impot-sible fur biro to cultivate with effect
He should, however, reserve his opinion for the Committee.
After an observation from the Earl of FALMOUTH again-,
,'ow going into Committee,
Lord KENYON agreed to its being postponed unti
‘londay week.
The Mutiny Bills were then passed through Committe.
toil reported, when the House adjourned at a Quarter t(,
Eight o'clock until Thurscl iy.
