REGISTRATION OF LEASES (SCOTLAND) BILL.
Mr. DUNLOP moved the second reading of this bill.
10 object was to improve the law with respect to leases
in Scotland.

The LORD-ADVOCATE said be would not oppose
the motion, but in committee he should propose some
amendments.

The bill was read a second time.
INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS BILL.

Mr. ADDEULEY moved that the house go int()
committee on this bill He thought that the alterations
proposed by the noble lord the member for the West
Riding could ba fully discussed, and his motion was
agreed to.

—Sir G. GREY said he had hoped that the hon. gee
tleman who had merely proposed to go into committee
pro forma, in order that certain amendments might be
made. He did not think the house was prepared to-day
to go on with the , bill, as several honour
able gentlemen deeply interested in it were
absent. The honourable gentleman opposite said
the amendments of the noble lord the member
for the West Riding might be made by clauses in com-
mittee, but no notice of such clauses had been given.
He should be sorry to vote against the bill, but if the
hon. gentleman pressed his motion to a division, he
should feel it his duty to vote against going into com-
mittee.

Mr. GREGORY hoped a clause would be introduced
' in this measure to lull the feelings that existed in cer-
tain places—viz., that the religious opiuions of the child
might be tampered with by the provisions of this Lill.
Lord GODERICH moved that the house go into
committee this day three weeks, in order that the rate-
payers might have further time to consider its provisions.
Mr. ADDERLEY said he thought the proposition to
postpone the consideration of the bill was unreasonable.
If the house went into committee, they could discuss the
main provisions of tho bill, and then reconsider it, in
order that the amendments might be presented.
Mr. BAINES said, be trusted that the consideration
of the bill would be postponed ; he was still in favour of
the principle of the bill. and such being the case, he
wished a good measure to be paned, instead of a crude
and ill-judged one. The great point to be settled, and
for which time was required, was whether the rate pro-
posed by this bill should be a general or local one.
Mr. ROEBUCK said it was the duty of the Govern-
ment to have brought forward a bill of this description,
and not to have cast the responSibility of doing so on a
private member. The proposition to go into committee
pro forma was an attempt to get rid of the bill by a
side w ind. •

After a few words from Mr. KENDALL and Mr. PALK,
Mr. R. PALMER urged his hoe, friend to agree to
the proposition to go into committee pro forma, and
that this day four weeks should be the time fixed for its
re-committal.

Mr. A DDERLEY assented to the proposition.
The house then went into 'committee pro forma,
certain amendments were inserted, and the bill was
reported with amendments and ordered to be printed.
