bridge petition were sworn.

JUDGMENTS EXECUTION

The house then went into committee on this bill.

Colonel FRENCH said, as a number of Irish mem-
bers were now in attendance on Lird Palmerston, on
the subject of tenant right, he trusted the hon. member
for Ayr would, therefore, postpone the further progress
of this bill until after the other orders of the day. That
he might be in order, he begged to move that the chair-
man report progress.
Mr. CRAUFORD could not assent to the request
of the hon. member. If the course pointed out was
adopted, it would most likely endanger the passing of
the bill during the present session.
Mr. AYRTON—If sach an eventuality should arise,
it would not be regarded as a national.calamity. He
thought, as no member of the Government was present
to throw light upon some legal doubts that might arise
during the committee, the farther progress of the bill
should be postponed.
The committee then divided, when there appeared—
For reporting progress 3l
Against it 93

Majority — 62
Mr. A. STAFFORD objected to proceeding with the
bill in the absence of the hon. gentleman the Attorney-
General for Ireland. _ _ _

Mr. MASSEY said the principle of the bill had so
often been discussed that he thought hon. members were
sufficiently acquainted with the bill to proceed with its
committal. The hon. gentleman the Lord Advocate had
expressed his intention of being present, and, no doubt,
he would shortly be in his place.
Mr. NAPIER thought that if the present measure
was passed it would become inoperative, and therefore
to waste time :in its discussion was a useless waste of
time. _ _ _

After a short discussion, in which Mr. S. Fitzgerald,
the Lord Advocate, and Mr. Bland took part,
Colonel FRENCH moved the postponement of the
consideratio❑ of clause 7.
Mr. PACKE moved that the chairman do leave the
chair.

The committee divided on the latter motion, when
there appeared—

Colonel FRENCH said as the last division had been
so close, he trusted the hon. gentleman the member for
Ayr would not persevere in forcing the bill on. He,
therefore, moved that the chairman report progress.
The SOLICITOR•GENERAL trusted the hon. gen-
tleman would not persevere in pressing his motion
to a division. (Hear.) The principle of the bill
tkat English judgments should have effect in Ireland,
and Irish judgments in England, was assented to
by nearly all parties, and he thought that the
two principles should be kept intact ; and if it
was sought by the present bill to amalgamate the two,
he should be the last person to support it. The bill did
not contain such a provision, and, therefore, he trusted
the house would proceed with it.
