IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(Tms EVENING.)

. _
Lord REDESDALE, Deputy-Speaker of the House of
Lords, took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock.

- ,
DEATH OF THE LORD CHANCELLOR.
Earl GRANVILLE said he hoped it would not be
deemed presumptuous in him, as a friend and colleague of
the noble and learned lord who lately occupied the distin-
guished position on the woolsack who had been taken from
the midst of them, and one who up to the last moment pre-
sided over their deliberations, to ask the house to agree to
a motion to adjourn, as a mark of respect and esteem to
the late noble and learned lord. The noble and learned
lord had met his colleagues at a Cabinet Council
on Saturday, and he (Earl Granville) had the
pleasure of meeting him again in the evening at
his own house, where he presided over the social circle
with his usual kindness. The noble lord on both occasions
appeared to possess his usual health, but death had come
suddenly upon him. He had attained a position of the
greatest eminence by his own industry and integrity,
which could not but be an encouragement to all, showing
what could be done by indefatigable industry and the
exercise of this power given by God. He hoped that their
lordships would unanimously agree to the motion.
Lord BROUGHAM entirely agreed with the noble earl
the President of the Council. He dwelt with great earnest-
ness upon the eminent qualities of the late noble lord. He
(Lord Brougham) had sat with the noble lord on Friday
for nearly 11 hours, and during the whole of that pro-
tracted sitting the noble lord exhibited all his usual
acuteness, ability, and attention to the business
before them which had rendered him so distinguished.
Although it was almost superfluous he seconded the motion.
He apologised for having taken up their time, but ho con-
sidered it right to speak on the melancholy occasion.
Lord ST. LEONARDS said no one could feel the loss
of the noble lord more than he did. The noble lord had
presided, with the dignity for which he was distinguished,
over their deliberations, and their lordships, he felt, were
fully sensible of the great loss which the coun-
try had sustained by his removal from amongst them
by the hand of death. He had long enjoyed the privilege
of the noble and learned lord's friendship, and - [Tho
noble and learned lord here became so affected that he could
not proceed further with his remarks, but with some diffi-
culty resumed his seat.]
The motion was agree I to.
Their lordships then adjourned.
There was a very large attendance of members of the
House of Commons at the bar in the space before the throne,
1 and in the different galleries of the house.

THE CASE OF THE REV. P. MACNAMARA.
Mr. MAGUIRE moved for a copy of correspondence in
reference to the case of the Reverend Patrick Macnamara,
Catholic chaplain of Glannamaddy, county Galway, in-
cluding the charge of forging or destroying voting papers,
as well as relating to his re-election to the office of chaplain
by the board of guardians of that union, and the refusal of
the commissioners to sanction such reelection, and to pay
for the services rendered by him up to the present time.—

style of architecture to be adopted for the whole of the
buildings.
Mr. LOWE, in reply, read a paragraph from the report
of the committee in question, which was to the effect that,
though they did not pledge themselves to the detail of
Captain Fowkes's plan, still they considered it satisfied all
that was required. If the vote were granted, however, it
would not bind the house to any particular style of archi-
tecture for the nroposed building.
COURTS OF JUSTICE BUILDING.
Lord J. MANNERS asked the Atterney-General
whether, in the event of the Courts of Justice Building Act
(Money) Bill being read a second time, he would refer the
question of site for the buildings to a select committee.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that there was an
entire unanimity with respect to the subject of the build-
ings,
with the exception of persons holding house property
in Lincolns-inn.fields. The committee were all agreed as
to the site, and, under the circumstances, he felt bound to
proceed with the bill this evening, and he hoped it would
be advanced a stage.
THE LOCOMOTIVE STEAM ROAD CARRIAGE.
Mr. GRIFFITH asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether his attention had been called to
an accident in the Hampstead road, caused by a locomotive
steam road carriage, which, in going along the road, re-
moving the debris from tho old reservoir, snorting and
blowing-off steam, caused the horses of an omnibus to take
fright, rush on the pavement, and capsize the passengers,
breaking arms and legs, and doing shocking injury to the
passengers ; and whether he was of opinion that such loco-
motives could safely run in future on the public roads.
Sir G. C. LEWIS said he had received a report from the
commissioners of police on this subject, which was sub-
stantially as the accounts that appeared in the newspapers.
One person had his collar bone broken, and several persons
received injuries, but he believed no other accident occurred.
No doubt there was considerable danger arising from the
carriage road—greater at the point alluded to • but in the
present state cf the law, the only remedy would be by an
indictment for a nuisance.
