CAMPBELL'S DIVORCE BILL.

Oa the motion of Lord REDESLiALE this bill was
read a third time and pagmed.
SMITETS DIVORCE BILL.

The report of atnendinents on this bill was brought up
and agreed to.

SMOKE NUISANCES (SCOTLAND) ABATE-
MENT
BILL.
Lord KINNAIRD moved the second reading of
this bill, and said that the passing of this act would
be attended with the most beneficial effects in Scotland.
Of course there were objections to the bill by certain
parties on account of the etrpense of alteration
of furnaces, but these parties seem entirely to forget the
immense saving they would effect by the diminished con-
sumption of fuel. But supposing there was no saving
effected, yet he thought they be justifi,,d in pas-ing this
measure, and compelling owners of mills and factories to
comply with its provisions oven upon sanitary
grounds. Ho trusted, therefore, their lordships
would agree to the senind reading of the bill.
Lord CAMPBELL said, having represented Edin-
burgh in several Parliaments, he took a lively interest in
this bill. He trusted the bill would pass their Lord-
ships and the other house, particularly because it would
effect a great Improvement in the sanitary state of Scot-
land.

Lord RAVENSWORTEI was in favour of the bill,
although theictfor England had been rendered in a great
measure inoperative. lie hoped more stringent mea-
sures would be adopted, to compel the owners of facto-
ries in all parts of the country to consume their own
smoke. By so doing they would get rid of a most poison-
ous nuisance, which now prevailed to a most alarming
event.

Lord REDESDALE supported the bill, and Bug.
gested certain alterations, to the effect that any person
might lay the information against persons infringing its
provisions, otherwise it might be rendered altogether
nugatory.
After a few words from the Earl FITZ WILLIAM,
Lord KINNAIRD said the noble lord seemed to be

unacquainted with the duties of a procurator-fiscal or
public prosecutor. It was his duty to act upon the in-
formation of any person, if he thought the circumstances
justified such a course.
The 101 l was then read a second time.
